Tuesdays and Thursdays don't work for me. Tuesday is The Division night, and I usually play at a local open mike on Thursdays. Our electric band also jams or gigs on Fridays or Saturdays, so those sometimes are dicey.

I'll fit in where I can!

9 p.m. ET starts are tough for me. My kids are older than yours and still up. Plus that's an early start for cats on the West Coast like Terry.

How does 9:30 p.m. or 9:45 p.m. ET work for a compromise start time? And how does tonight look for people?

Thanks.

Perfect timing!

RS:S has an offline mode that's surprisingly tough and robust, if a bit short. But this game is designed for cooperative or adversarial team play. It's not perfectly balanced for that like Overwatch, but it's still a gritty, realistic, tense, fun shooter with a group of dudes who want to play it the right way.

RS: Siege will be on sale for $24.99 next week at Best Buy. That probably will drop to $21.99 or so with GCU:

Permanent or just a trial?

Lol, that's my luck typically. I've run through a couple scenarios, and I'm hooked. I'll be buying it.

Possibly, after 10 p.m. ET. I'm probably playing at an Open Mike night until then.

Enjoyed it tonight. Really did. Sorry Pete's game didn't last very long, but PK and I got in some good matches. Best part was when he said he was coming to heal me and then shot me in the head instead... Lol. This is a great little game.

Accidental! That bad dude entered the door as I was coming to heal you, and sometimes my aim is about as good as my ability to understand Federal tax forms. Sorry! :)

Possibly. Just returned from my son's band concert and haven't had supper. I'll try, man!
