Obscure Night VIII - Monday, 11th of August

Sheepeh · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 2320

As I mentioned in the last thread, I'm not going to have a poll this week. We're going to be playing Prey. It supports 8 players, and I'm one of them, so 7 slots are free for the taking.

Please post if you want to play here.

It's not first come first served as I think that's a little unfair, but I'll work out a way to deal with it when I see the numbers.

1. Sheepeh
2. Mr. Dave
3. The GLORIOUS Dimrill (who likes bumming)
4. Dudley
5. Myoptika
6. Jasmine
7. WullieOoster
8. Jon

If you fancy playing, you'll need all the free content downloaded from Marketplace. Maps and Characters. Make sure you have grabbed it beforehand!

is there portals in multiplayer? is there motion sickness like being upside down and shit? I may buy it for a fiver if my requirements are filled.

Sheepeh · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 2320

Yes, there are. Yes, there is.

It's most excellent, and very cheap.

Buy, Sir! Buy!

Runcle · **Posted:** Tue Aug 05, 2008 2:07

Ill pass then. although i may get tempted when i look at the 4 for £20 games tomorrow.

Wait! I have a copy, and I never really got into it. I will swap it for one of yours and/or some of your Earth pounds.

Sheepeh · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 2320

You don't *have* to use the portals. You'll just die loads if you don't.

Did Portal make you feel a bit sick as well? Or is it just the whole upside-down thing?

I loves it, I do.

Gah! I'll probably just be home from work when the fun starts, so in between feeding the baby and preparing/eating dinner there probably won't be much time for Prey, unfortunately. I'll try and jump online for a quick game if there's any space, but don't reserve me a place as I can't guarantee I'll be there.

na I was fine with portal, maybe it was the whole upside down thing, the only other game Ive had motion sickness from was something to do with planes where I was properly doing loops or summit, so very possible the whole upside down thing.

Mr Dave · **Posted:** Tue Aug 05, 2008 2:39

Well, me.

And almost certainly the Dimrill.

I have this.

I have not played it once.

This could be some glorious failure.

In.

How cheap is game?

Dudley · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 8679

It's in gamestation's 4 for £20, £5 in CEX, £6.99 new at the game collection.

myp · **Posted:** Tue Aug 05, 2008 11:35

Yep, I'm up for this.

Hmmm... any of them near Liverpool Street?

Actually, I'm probably playing footy on Monday, so I'll have to give this a miss in all likelihood.

Bumpity to remind people that assuming Dimrill is playing, there are 3 slots left for Monday.

And to remind people it's Monday, natch.

Just a reminder that you'll need all the free extras downloaded beforehand, too.

What time is this?

And am I eligible even though Ms Me decided she would destroy my headseat by vacuuming up the wire, which in turn also destroyed the vacuum cleaner?

I've only played the game once, in single player, when I had a raging tooth ache, therefore it could be a completely elegant disaster. If I'm lucky.

Sheepeh · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 2320

10 PM Monday.

And you're certainly eligible as long as you have an Xbox 360 on Live, a copy of Prey, and a pad.

Excellent.

Please count me in.

That's all 8, folks.

If anyone wants to be a backup player just be around at the time and you can get in if someone else fails to show.

However if you can't talk we will of course get to insult you with no comeback.

Reckon I've got time to learn how to play before we start?

Goddess Jasmine · **Posted:** Mon Aug 11, 2008 23:15

I didn't, I'm sure it never showed. :DD

Mr Dave · **Posted:** Mon Aug 11, 2008 23:22

How to play:

LAAAAAAAGGGGGG!!!!!!

The end.

Jon · **Joined:** 2nd Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 225

The bar map didn't lag too much.

The last map I played lagged to holy hell though.

Mr Dave · **Posted:** Mon Aug 11, 2008 23:40

Aye, any map with spherical gravity fields was just unplayable.

The best bit was when I spent several seconds trying to pick up a rocket launcher but each time I was just about to get it, I was suddenly transported a couple of steps back.

Dudley · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 8679

Yes, at one point I walked through the door to the inside 3 times, then got shot....outside.

Mr Dave · **Posted:** Mon Aug 11, 2008 23:55

Aye, on shuttle 2 I was deliberately not going outside due to some cock in a shuttle. And then I mysteriously teleported so that I was not only outside, but also right infront of some cock in a shuttle. Who then shot me.

Just call me 'Badminton Boy'!

romanista · **Posted:** Thu Aug 14, 2008 7:43

due to olympic issues, we might do rockstar table tennis (i would have to buy the 360 version though, i am god with the wii version)'

RTT is a bit poo, to be honest. It's fun in multiplayer, but you need exactly four or eight people for a tournament, bizarrely.
