Game nights! (RSVP)

[Nohbdy 4,108]

What, game nights? You might be thinking, "But I thought those died out with the dinosaurs!" Well, let me tell you: I am a dinosaur, and I haven't died yet. And neither have game nights.
 
Starting Friday, March 27, PoniArcade will be holding three events. The details are below:

Schedule

 

Friday (03/27/2015): Team Fortress 2 (TF2)

Saturday (03/28/2015): Garry's Mod (GMod)

We'll begin at 4 PM PDT (7 PM EDT, 11 PM GMT) for all events. Please vote to let us know if you can make it to these times. It'll also help us determine whether we need to set up any more servers in advance.

PonyArcade's rising has begun,from what it seems.

 

I'll try to assist to at least Friday and Saturday,but the Sunday may be luck-based.

 

Even so,i look forward for the new game nights,and I hope that they last.

I can try Gmod, but what will it exactly be like? 

[long gone 8,929]

I probably won't be able to attend most of these. Great.

[~The Snowy Wolf~ 1,579]

I don't have GMod, but I can get TF2. Is CS:GO free?

[Wicked Funky 2,956]

THIS IS THE PERFECT KIND OF THING! But one problem for me, I dont like CS Go or TF2... I guess i can join with garrys mod, Not a favorite but its a fun game

@~The Snowy Wolf~

 

No, Cs Go isent free sadly :/

 

 

Oh and will there be additional games added or are you going to keep it to CS, TF2 and Gmod?

[~The Snowy Wolf~ 1,579]

And I can possibly see about getting GMod if it isn't too much

[Nohbdy 4,108]

I'm pretty sure I can make it for GMod. Will that just be vanilla Sandbox, or will we play with certain add-ons?

I can try Gmod, but what will it exactly be like?

Right now, it'll be mostly vanilla, AFAIK, although the details may change in the coming week.  will know more about it.

 

EDIT: However, Prop Hunt is being considered!

Everyone's invited! Just be sure to vote in the poll, and don't forget to tell your friends!

Technically, this is a pre-launch event. We'd like to iron out some problems before the big day, and you guys are our guinea pigs testers!

 

I probably won't be able to attend most of these. Great.

That's okay! If everything goes according to plan, these events should be a regular occurrence from now on. 

 

Keep those questions coming! We'll do our best to answer them!

Source engine games (the ones listed here) can run on a toaster. Does your current laptop meet the minimum requirements? If so, you can join in!

I might lend You a toaster on that occasion, since according to Aquila the game works on it  

[Troblems 5,623]

I'm so there. Let's see if I can trick convince hubby to show up for at least one, too.

 

I'm really good at floor warming in TF2.

I'll try to get a laptop that hopefully won't need to run on a toaster But if I can't, I'll ask you for that favor

[DJShy 968]

I want to join this SO BADLY! Unfortunately, I have a Chromebook, so no downloading games, so no fun socal times for me... 

[Blue Moon 6,345]

I should be able to attend all three events if no unforseen events turn up. Sounds like fun.

[mars 4,863]

This is going to be so fun! I'm glad to see the Gaming Nights (THEY DESERVE CAPITALS) are back!
However, I'm a terrible gamer, so I won't be partaking in these events.    I wish everyone the best!!
