Multiplayer with people in the same room > multiplayer online with people you know > online multiplayer with strangers
Some of my best memories of the Halo series are all the times my friends and I got together for LAN parties.
Nope. I have no friends that play video games who live anywhere near me.
I like Kung-Fu.
I demand to know the details of this Pike-MILF-Jiro Civ IV matchup.
Basically Monty decided to be a prick as always, so Jiro was at war with him for most of the game (Monty decided early on that he hated Jiro for no other reason than, well, he's Monty.) Later the Byzantines declared on me for no good reason and we had a bit of back and forth for a while. Meanwhile, MILF picked up a bunch of free techs at the beginning of the game and sat there and teched and sat at the top of the score chart while his bigass army strutted around.
I play Soul Calibur with real people offline as often as I can. Which isn't very often, sadly. There isn't a lot of people I know that are good at those games, so even if I'm nothing special, I keep winning a lot more than they do so they get bored after not too long.
everything is wrapped in gray
i'm focusing on your image
can you hear me in the void?
One of my finest memories in gaming was Goldeneye with three friends, as well it should be.
Also there was my FAVOURITE gaming session which was when the first Halo came out. A friend and I played through the co op campaign for like ten hours.
Also I have Buzz trivia for ps3 and i was lucky enough to get two so we can play up to 8 players locally/online... We've busted it out at a work party and it was a smash hit.
many, many evenings used to be spent either on my mates N64 playing Smash Brothers, Golden Eye or Starfox 64. Many more were spent on his ps2 with Medal of Honor games (we laughed so hard at one of our mates once because we figured out all the spawn points and timings and had me camped opposite the only one he could spawn at (because the others were too close to the other spawn points on this map. 1 shot kill weapons enabled and I spanked him before he'd even gained control of his character for like 40 kills consecutively, then we let him out only to have staked out the other respawns the same...was not a happy bunny with us pmsl)
A good many nights were spent with my older brother playing Scrabble for ps1, Gran Turismo games and Tiger Woods, On NYE when I was a kid and didn't go out we'd sit around playing Scrabble early on then Tiger Woods and lastly when it was just me and my brother awake with everyone else passed out the Gran Turismo duels would start, my brother has experience actually racing cars and I'd still spank his ass every time, he never gave up. Even when he put me on a Super Bike game he didn't win it was pretty funny! Though when he'd eventually win a race because I'd let him select something outrageously overpowered compared to my selection he'd rub it in for days regardless of him losing the last 50 races in a row haha
BJ and I play games together all the time. It's been weird since I moved my computer into another room, playing in the same house but talking via Skype. We played Diablo 3 for a few hours last night. I usually play Age of Empires 3 with him from the spare computer in our room, though, so that we can be in the same room. It's hooked up to our TV so it's huge.
We also play games with our RL friends but each in our own houses at least a few times a week. We spend a lot of time in Skype, or sometimes Google Hangout because we like the screenshare feature.
The vast majority of multiplayer I do is local with my wife. When we lived in an apartment we used to have our computers set up in the same room, but now they are each in our offices just down the hall from each other so sometimes well shout down the hall and sometimes we'll use headsets.
Sadly, there just aren't enough games with local co-op these days. It's hard to find a good couch co-op that we both care about. We'd do a ton more if there was anything out there.
We've been invited by a girlfriend of ours to play some Soul Caliber at her place though I've never played it before. Sounds like fun and we'll probably take her up on it.
No, I only have one PS3 controller.
My housemate and I have been playing an ungodly amount of Trials Evolution and Rock of Ages. Great fun, the both of them.
