pLayday: 7/1 – Let’s meet in Halo
I’m not sure what I feel like playing today. I could do CoD4, GTA4, Halo3, Undertow, Rockband,…I’d be up for almost anything. Let’s see who shows and just decide based off that. I’ve got an open slot at my Apt as well (the 2nd 360 is hooked back up in the office, and I have multiple copies of CoD4 and GTA4).
Last weeks showing was a bit weak, perhaps because I was lax and did not post here. GTA Free mode works quite well with any number of players.
Well, this week I hope to get a few more people in. This includes split screeners. The theme: “Invite some people over to your place to join you this week.”
Sure, it’s short notice, but anyone up for Halo 3 split screen lan party will drop any other activities and join you (or, not be doing anything already).
Preferences on gametype? Maps?
pLayday: 6/10 – CoD4, The Musical
While a Call Of Duty musical would be entertaining (Price’s mustache easily places him in the cast of several), we could just play some. I know Zazz recently found a cheap copy, and I hope we can get some more people who own it to show as well.
And we could also just sing as well…

pLayday: 6/3 – Mix it up? Rockband? Halo3?
Quickie post:
I’m thinking of mixing it up a bit. We’ve been a bit gta4 heavy. That isn’t to say “No GTA4 tonight!” Just thinking: “maybe 30 minutes of 2 groups of rockband?” or some Halo 3 to get some split screenage (I may get Matt to come over and join us for a bit).
Other ideas?
pLayday: 5/27 – huh?
Well, I was helping a friend move/clean. So I forgot to post/email and organize pLayday. Apparently, that was enough for no one to show up. Oh well.
Remember: pLayday is akin to a (your favorite) TV show. It’s Tuesdays at 8pm CST, regardless of whether there was a commercial this week.
Also, we’ve been a bit GTA4 heavy. I’m thinking we mix it up again next week with either Halo, Undertow, or most likely Call of Duty 4 (if our Amazon DotD copies get in on time). Also, those games have better party systems than GTA4’s currently broken “most of you will stick together” way of doing things.
Any preference on the subject?
pLayday: 5/13 – GTA Driver’s Test
I’m thinking, perhaps a goal of some sort for this week’s run. Maybe center on the Race modes for a bit? I could use the driving practice.
Our cops and robbers games are fun, but often end when either team slams into a wall for no real reason. I certainly don’t “race” enough in single player, but have plenty of on foot practice under my belt.
pLayday: 5/6 – GTA 4 Real, yo.
When you are low on health, you can either try to find a hooker, cox her into your car (which has to look nice), drive somewhere nice and quiet, and take some time to get your health back.
Or you can go into the local burger joint and be out in a 10 seconds. Also, an apparently fun Free Mode multiplayer gametype is to hold up in a fast food joint and see how many stars you can amass.
GTA 4. Zazz and Kflair have 2 xboxs due to some creative lending, so we can hopefully get both of them in the game. Everyone owns this, including phyzkid. Let’s see if we can get a nice large group and hop around the play types. I’ve definitely been enjoying Cops Vs Robbers mode and Free Mode. The team Mayfia work one may be interesting as well (we’ve only dont FFA Mayfia).
Any suggestions? Everyone able to make it?
pLayday: 4/22 – Last minute Gears
We picked up Gears as our game. First round was a bit of a blow out, but the teams of Phokal, Zazz, Boramis vs. cvang, kFlair, and Euphoric seemed like quite a well-balanced match-up. It was a fun time had by all until Live decided to hiccup. In one second we lost our live connections, which the game detects and then kicks you from the game.
Hopefully this downtime doesn’t occur next week when the game is tentatively GTA IV.
Yup, hope you all have it pre-ordered.
pLayday: 4/15 – Halo 3
Well, I lent Zazz my copy of CoD4, so I can’t very well pick THAT to play. If everyone who shows has Orange Box we may flip to that. But I think a better idea would be if I (or you) get friends over for split screen fun, then we can stick with Halo.
In fact, try to invite some more random friends in for this lan game. We’ll try to keep the difficulty at a chill level. Emphasis on teamwork. In fact, let’s try the Race game mode on the large maps with vehicles. In preparation for GTA IV. Which you all must buy. Seriously.
We can try multiple teams (3-4 teams, depending on how many people show).
pLayday: 4/8 – Halo 3
Let’s go with a staple everyone likes that supports split-screen. Plus, we have a new map we’ve never even played on. The remade blood gultch. And everyone likes Halo.
And kittens. Everyone likes kittens, too.
