Poker Night Thread: 2017

Post by pk500 »

Fellas:

Thought I would create a new thread to hopefully inspire more DSP Poker Nights in various games other than the regularly scheduled staples, such as Ice Dragons, Madden leagues, etc.

I understand our lives and online gaming have changed since the halcyon days of XBL in the early to mid-2000s. But for me, there's nothing better in gaming than playing a great game with DSP brothers on XBL. So hopefully we can rekindle a bit of that magic through this thread.

Post and look here if you want to get an impromptu game going in anything other than scheduled leagues, such as Madden or Ice Dragons. I'm thinking shooters, racing games, etc., with this thread.

Figured this would be an easier, central location for DSP matchmaking than individual threads. If this post angers the thread police, then my simple response is:

Thanks! :)

To prime the pump for this thread, I'm looking for up to three DSP cats for Ghost Recon Wildlands tonight on XBL. 10 p.m. (ET). Who's in? :)

I am in for next time! I am terrible at most FPS of any kind, but I picked up Ghost Recon Wildlands due to all the posts here on how fun the co-op is. So if any team needs a big handicap/challenge count me in.

iRacing Dirt launched yesterday. After an evening with that, I can't see myself doing anything else for quite a while :lol:

OK, man. Working late tonight, but I just may need to kill some Bolivian c*cksuckers as stress relief.

Will post here later with time. Probably 10-10:30ish (ET). Anyone care to join us?

Thanks.

I'm here! Been VERY busy with baseball (see my other post). Been spending what little gaming time I have with The Show. I want to get some more GRW sometime soon. Too many games...too little time!

Maybe late, dude. I'm in the midst of the final big push on writing and editing the Indianapolis 500 Media Guide. The workday these days is as long as my brain functions. So when my brain is mush, I'll get happy and come shoot with you! :)

Good shooting last night, Teal! Thanks for waiting for me and for shooting until 2:30 a.m.! :)

GR: Wildlands is one of the most enjoyable, satisfying shooters I've played. Period. What a game.

I'd like to play some co-op in it again, but my character is likely vastly under-leveled compared to the rest. Don't really care what we do, though.

If the room fills up, I can bounce for some higher-powered people to play with you :lol:

I'd like to play but I literally bought the XB version at lunch so have done nothing, not even installed it.
