TBT Friday Game Nights

[Justin]

After seeing the recent popularity of playing Apples to Apples on here Sock and I were thinking about setting up a game night of sorts every Friday. This sort of thing would be for playing free online games like Apples to Apples, Pictionary and the sort. For playing video games, that would be something different. The good thing about this is these are all games that are sort of drop in and drop out. You can come at any time during the night and join in on whatever we're playing.

I already have some ideas in mind however I'm up for any suggestions to add to the list.

Apples to Apples
Draw My Thing (Pictionary at OMGPOP.com)
Booya! (UNO at OMGPOP.com)
Blockles (A weird version of Tetris at OMGPOP.com)

This would start somewhere around 9PM Eastern (6PM Pacific) every Friday and end whenever nobody is playing anymore. That would vary. I might not be able to make the beginning because of how I'm in Pacific but Sock can still start it up.

I figure we can give them different time slots depending on what kind of game they are. Something like UNO would get 10-15 minutes, while something like Pictionary would get 30 minutes. Please do suggest more games you know of. Criteria is it's fun and easy to access for everyone without a download. (besides flash) We will likely play lots of games on OMGPOP.com so if you don't have an account on there, register or else you'll be a guest!

Well, I understand this isn't for everyone. However, I was surprised how many were up playing Apples to Apples last night so I think this can work out.

Seeing as I have recently become addicted to OMGPop (once again. go figure.), I shall be participating in this! I do hope we can sneak in a few rounds of Ball-Racer.

 

[SockHead]

Well, we'll wait for Justin to decide which game we're playing first. But in case he doesn't make it, let's play Draw My Thing on OMGPop for the first half hour.

Sounds good. What is all of this talk about Apples to Apples I hear? I haven't been here in a few weeks.

It's a game that a lot of us have been playing in the past nights.

If everyone can go to the IRC, it'd be a lot easier to talk about this there. http://www.belltreeforums.com/chat.php

Nono, I know what Apples to Apples is. I love that game. But how do we play it online, exactly?

There's a website where you can host games to play online. We'll play that later
