Description: 
Who needs all these fancy new games. Take a break from the insanity of the fall release schedule to slow down and play an hour or two of something a little more mellow. Grab a nice cold drink, sit back, turn on the camera and chill. Hop on Xbox LIVE this Wednesday night and pick up a game.

I'm on board for some Carc or Catan. See you online!

If I didn't have class in the evening I'd be all over this. I've played a fair bit of single player Catan & Carcasonne, but virtually no multiplayer in either.

Worms, Carc, Catan, and Bomberman for me please.

If the sweet allure of TF2 doesn't pull me in I'm defiantely up for Catan, Poker or Bomberman any time. I haven't gotten around to buying Chess or Carc yet but I'm always looking for new shinys to buy.

Edit - I also bought Worms but haven't gotten much play out of it at all.

Reading the posts, it almost sounds like GWJ needs a casual gaming night. Maybe Sundays?

I'm down with Carcassonne and Catan this Wednesday. Anyone up for the King and Baron expansion for Carcassonne? I picked it up when it came out but haven't had a chance to play it yet.

I will. Although I'm beginner and looking for someone to teach me. So you might get copious victories over me. But yeah, I'd totally love an XBLA night in general.

Have Bomberman, will play.

I have been wanting to play Catan, but I am pretty new to the game. As in only recently playing on Xbox Arcade.

I'm so there. Sign me up for Catan and Carc. As a general rule, I'll drop any other game I'm playing on 360 if I get an Catan/Carc invite, so send them anytime.

Thank you Rabbit! I've been thinking about this for a while now, and as such, I am totally in for all of the above!
I kind of wish they'd put out a 4 player chess, I've played it a few times in real life and it is a blast!

By the looks of my Friends List, every night is TF2 night...

Also, just like Booty said, if anyone's ever up for one of these games and sees me on, drop me an invite. Unless my wife is playing or I'm in a tense football game, I'll play.

Ditto + chess. I've mentioned numerous times that I'm ALWAYS up for these assuming I have nothing else going on.

I think an XBLA night was tried a while ago, but for some reason it faltered. I'm sure willing to try again though.

Do you have a rate card for your newsletter? I think there is a market for a Sunday night GWJ casual gaming night.

Carc, Catan, Worms are all good in my book.

Well, I didn't put it there, I'm just a lowly member. But hey, why not. It's not like there's NO overlap between the TF2 players and the XBLA players. In fact, I'd guess the overlap is close to 90 percent. The steam community is a great tool for managing schedules and grouplists. I say the more places we hit more members the better. Come to think of it, I'll make sure and get this in the Church Bulletin too. I hear Episcopalians are MEAN Worms players, as a rule.

If my 360 wasn't broken, I'd be on board.

And I appreciate it being on Steam. It's a way of reaching a lot of people immediately. Please keep that up, even for non-PC events.

Point taken. Don't mind me, I was just posting while grumpy. Reminder: Don't post while grumpy!

I'll try to make it if I'm not drowning in assignments. Which I probably will be.

But then, I'll probably be there anyway.

I guess I should start adding GWJers to my XBL friends list. Is there a good central repository of Gamertags?

You should start a thread asking everyone to post their tag. Pyroman likes those.

I'd be down for some casual gaming too. I still need to check out the new Carcassonne "expansion" too.

If I get Orange Box again (I returned my used copy back to EB after the last Conference Call) in time, I might be playing TF2, but if not, then I'm up for this. If anyone has Geon, I wouldn't mind trying that out against another player. Otherwise, Worms, Carc, and Catan all sound good to me.

I'm in for catan, carc, or poker. In fact, I'll probably pick up the Carc expansions just in case.

If there's enough interest, I could be convinced to pick up bomberman and/or worms...
