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).
We are all going to buy GTA IV
That’s right. We don’t have a lot of info on the included multiplayer of GTA IV, but we all know we are going to buy it anyway. I propose this be one of the games we all get for pLayday, as it is potentially (rumored) to have 16 player multiplayer. Does anyone think they won’t end up with this game within a week of launch?
Awesome board game
This is pretty sweet. I wonder how they will get the achievements tied to my live account? Perhaps it’s like the Halo 3 extras dvd, that is actually a game.

pLayday: 3/4 – Call of Duty 4
I know it isn’t split-screen (and online simultaneously), and not everyone owns it. But Halo 3 two weeks in a row seems a bit lame when most of us have this game. It’s a low hp, high speed match. Think Counterstrike. Larger maps a decent teamplay help a lot. Getting the drop on somebody generally leads to a free kill (much more so often than in Halo).
Experience gained in online matches also directly relates to new class skills, abilities, and guns. There is also a party system similar to Halo’s (though I have yet to use it). It should be fun.
There are many different types of game modes. If anyone has any info on them, or preferences for what we play, post away.
pLayday: 2/19 – Team Fortress 2
It is time for some 2fort. Premise is simple. Capture the flag, and bring it back to base. The flag is located in the basement of the enemy installation (a mirror image of your own). You can get there via the front entrance, then up the stairs and to one of two stairways down, or via the sewer entrance (which leads to the up stairs room).
If we can get 8 of us, we can get that elusive achievement.
I think we all own Orangebox, except for raforce, so we’ll probably flip to another game (Halo or Undertow) partway through if he’s still online. Don’t want to leave anybody out for too long :)
First Names on xbLive and pLayday page?
Does anyone have any objection to adding their first names to the Names section of xbLive, and for me adding them to the pLayday page? Most of you know each other, but not everyone, even those you’ve played with on Live before.
Hintzilla, btw, is a friend of mine from WTS. Everyone else are friends I’ve known through the BNMC or Scooter.
