Let's Play, Cubetoons.

All right, everyone listen up. This is Let's Play, Cubetoons the video game meeting group of this forum. Every Friday at (time to be determined later), we will meet up to play a game on either PC, Wii, DS, or Xbox 360. Feel free to suggest consoles and games in comments below, as I picked only from what generally everyone has here. Each game will be voted on by YOU. Not me. And we will need video recorders, so PM if you are interested.

I've also decided to make a simplified list of games that generally most people here have from my knowledge.

PC: TF2, L4D, L4D2, Whatever on this list, TBD (Also if you have Steam, I highly suggest joining the Cubetoons Gaming group.)
Wii: SSBB, MK WII, TBD
Xbox 360: Halo 3, MW2, L4D, L4D2, TBD
DS: MK DS, AC: WW, TBD

Now, a list that will be updated with every meeting.

Any suggestions on this group?

I vote Alien Swarm. It's free so anyone can get it, and no-one has played it before so the video will be surprising. I can't film myself, but I call being the red guy

As for time, the best would be late-ish for the British/Europeans/me, and morning/early afternoon for the yanks. Not sure about exact timezones, but something along those lines would work.

I hope you have a PC strong enough to run Skype, Camstudio, and audacity. And that's just for the PC games. Have fun trying to find a gamebridge that works with a DS.

I don't understand the need to be running all three of the programs while playing PC games, do to us using Steam. Skype will be useful for Wii and DS however. Camstudio, I suppose I will be in charge of using that to record, anyone else is free to record as well though. I can also record Wii and Xbox 360 without complete crap quality on a camera, but DS is going to be a hell of a problem. And Audacity, well I don't understand why we would use it in the first place.

Vote taken. And from what I figure, the best time would either be 5 or 6 EST. (Which would be 10PM or 11PM in the UK, 11PM or 12PM in South Africa) What do you guys think the time should be?

That sounds like a good time for me, if the EST is pm.

Well, doesn't EVERYONE play games at 5am?

By the way, I suppose I could record games if needed. My laptop is actually pretty good with speed, along with the fact that I'm upgrading the memory in it from 3GB to 4/5 GB. Worse comes to worse, I can just record with my dad's computer, which is pretty fast. I mean, last I checked anyway.

Alien swarm would be the obvious choice, except I don't actually have a PC to run it on. Would make a good video though.

After that I say TF2 (Superior 360 version of course)

L4D2

L4D2 and Alien Swarm, PC all the way.

But I won't be on for the next 2 weeks, so until then you guys do whatever.

Hopefully my gaming headset will come before then.

Front page updated, I NEED to know who will be there for that time so please post as soon as you see this message if you are going to be there.

And if there is more than four, we are going to need someone else to record, you up for it Jordo?

And on another note, I have arranged a group chat for the game on Steam.

I can't be there, I'm in Washington DC this coming Friday. And the next one.

You picked the one good place to go on the East Coast. Good job.

And sorry to see you won't be available. Maybe next time.

Oh yea, this sounds like a great idea.

Get it organized and I'll be here like every week.

2pm for west coast? Hmmm. That may not work. The game will be up for download at noon tomorrow. Knowing the steam servers they will be all kinds of slow for the duration of the afternoon.

So, if I get it installed by then I am in.

All right. And if the game is bigger than I expect to download or the servers are going to be slow, then I will delay the session by one hour.

It's 2.5g according to it's steam page.

So it may take time.

EDIT: It uses the Portal 2 engine!
