    Was wondering if there is any gaming weekend nights set up on the site?

    It might be fun to organise a couple of games of a voted upon game each weekend for a few hours.

    Not a bad idea, but the only thing I can see stopping it would be the lack of commitment. I don't mean that in a bad way to the xbox community here. But it is a small community and would need a good few people to be on at the same time, which might not be as easy as it sounds. Go for it though. Im off xbox for the next while though.

    Well the ps3 guys have theirs going pretty sucessfully I think.

    This is exactly why the xbox community here formed the IRL Clan as a spin off from Boards.

    There's members playing every night.

    But is that not limited to cod and battlefield?

    thats what we mostly play. but we are in no way limited to them


    someone may come along and ask to play RDR one night for example.
    and a few of us that have it if we are in the mood will join in.

    No our forums are for members only, anyone can talk, organise games with us on the thread on boards.

    As for just playing bc and cod, lately I've been playing hawx 2, magic the gathering 2012 and what not, one the lads is playing portal 2.

    We play lots of games

    Well if anyone is organizing a gaming night over the weekend(s) count me in.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,402 ✭✭✭✭Vicxas


    Ill hop on the forums tonight and join up. You guys still taking members?


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 6,335 Mod ✭✭✭✭PerrinV2


    Maybe we should throw up a list of games here that people have that don't already have a forum here.

    OK Heres a link to a google doc.

    Add your gamertag.

    Enter 1 if you have the game.

    Enter 0 if you don't have the game.

    Add new games to the bottom of the list if they are not already there.

    Boards Xbox Games Night List

    Check Back Every so often to see if new games have been added.

    As people add games etc, the total column will show us which games most people have. And it'll make organizing nights easier.

    If anyone wants explicit access to it let me know (that way your name will show up and not "Anonymous user xxx")

    Note:If you cant remember what games you have (and are in work or whereever) check your played games on xbox.xom

    I like this idea.
    I've filled in the spreadsheet and added 1 game(I'll add more when I remember/get home and check)

    I'm on live fairly randomly but if something was organised I'd make an effort to show up.

    Trojan work...updated

    am on most nights after the kids go down....about 9 till midnite.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,992 ✭✭✭Korvanica


    The Document is coming along nicely considering its only been a little while.

    If anyone wants explicit access to it let me know (that way your name will show up and not "Anonymous user xxx")

    If we get enough people and entries on this it will be really handy for deciding what games to buy (if you wanna play with boardsies etc)

    If you cant remember what games you have (and are in work or whereever) check your played games on xbox.xom

    yep still accepting members we dont really refuse anyone unless its a screaming kid or the like.

    two things you have to do post on the main page of the site www.irlclan.net
    dont forget to include your gamertag.
    then add people from our members list www.irlclan.net/members

    the rest we will talk about in party

  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 6,335 Mod ✭✭✭✭PerrinV2

    Ok..

    Cheers for filling that out everyone.

    Currently we have 18 Gamertags and their respective games. Although there have been games added to the list since some people filled it out, so everyone please have a look at the list again.

    Now what nights is everyone available to game on?

    I've added a second sheet to the document. With a list of the days of the week. If youre available on a certain day, just increase the number beside it by 1.

    To get to the second sheet of the document, click the Tab at the bottom labeled "Days Available".


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,308 ✭✭✭kiddums


    I won't be adding to the nights tab as its quite random as to when I'm available. Generally if I'm online I'm up for some games. Just drop me a message.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,618 ✭✭✭Mr Freeze


    Would be pretty random too when I am on.

    EDIT. Just spotted Peggle on the list, class!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,992 ✭✭✭Korvanica


    its the same for me, I just put up the nights i'm on most frequently.


  • Registered Users Posts: 151 ✭✭boiledeggs


    Same, it can usually pretty random when I can be on because of work but usually weekends and start of the week.
