Chicago - Apartment Warming III: A NEW CHALLENGER APPROACHES (aka I have a new apartment)
 
I upgraded my apartment to a much sweeter place like almost a year ago, and we still haven't had a game party here? Time to rectify that!

My brother's GF is going to be in town for a few weeks and she is a gamer too so I thought it might be neat to have a party while she is here? So I'm shooting for Saturday, June 4th. Does that work for people?

Day / time: Sunday, May 29th. 4 pm - ???
Location / my phone #: Don't want to post publicly PM me for it.
Confirmed almost definitely coming: We'll see. Lots of my family and a few NW people if no one else.

Non-alcoholic drinks and snacks will be provided as usual. Still live within walking distance of Portillo's though it is a slightly longer walk now. Could always take cars.

Here is what we may / will probably be playing:

Wii U
The usuals: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Mario Kart 8, Nintendo Land, Spin The Bottle: Bumpie's Party, etc.
New stuff: Runbow!, Extreme Exorcism

PC / Steam
The usuals: Duck Game, Towerfall Ascension, Samurai Gunn, Gang Beasts (maybe someday we will figure it out), etc.
New stuff: CRAWL, Astro Duel, Speedrunners, Hidden in Plain Sight

3DS
The usuals: Super Smash Bros. for 3DS, Mario Kart 7, etc. uh, do we ever really play much 3DS at these things?!

Should we try to play Zelda 4 Swords Adventures?! I have such a hankering for it lately.

What I need other people to bring:
2 360 controllers (I only have 2)
2 more Wii U classic controllers if people don't want to get stuck with Wiimotes for 8 player Smash
1 More Wiimote... I guess? If we play Wii games?
Your own 3DS + copies of any multiplayer games you want to try
Any games you want to try that I didn't list above (might as well ask me first if I already have it though...)

@DrFinkelstein

We have just as many NW regulars in Rochester, NY, and I can't possibly imagine posting the same thing, haha..

"We do need more NW regulars than just Lou, NinSage, and I. COME ON PEOPLE." Bonkers!

@Mr_Mustache

Good point. With GameDadGrant and I, we're almost able to say that. But if we throw Windsor into the mix, then there's Ploot, his wife, and Beardednerd too. Though for active posters, it's kinda down to Me, GDG, and Ploot.

@Mr_Mustache So what. Milwaukee is like 3 minutes away.

@Zero

So what you're saying...you guys + rebonack?
05/26/16, 00:17   
Pretty much yeah, he needs to hang out more.
05/26/16, 04:35   
So what's the word Anand? YOU IN?

At this point it's probably too late to change the date of the party anyway and I already told all of my family to come so you better be.

No news is good news! Yeah, I'm in. It's been a while since my last candy binge.

What time were you thinking? And should I bring anything specific?
05/26/16, 19:53   
I was thinking like 6 pm? That worked last time? Or do people WANT earlier? I always figure people would want earlier so things aren't rushed, but when I used to try to do this stuff at like 3 or 4 pm you'd show up late and still be the only one there for a few hours, lol.

@Zero

"do people"-- haha, theres 3 of you! And you're one of them! Thats barely "people."


Do you guys watch JBTV? They film in Chicago. Its on one of our subchannels right now and...I have NO IDEA what I'm listening to = Zero would love it. Its....something.


Anyway, you guys should do a Wii U Speak tour, for like 3 hours.
05/27/16, 00:38   
1 = person, 2 = people. What other word would I use?!
05/27/16, 01:44   
We can just record an electric fan and loop it, instead.

I watched JBTV, like... 20 years ago? Haven't seen it for a while. But it used to be my jam. They played Enuff Z'nuff and King's X videos!

@Zero
That's true. I'm always like, "Oh, shit! I'm late!" And then I end up eating candy and testing out your game because I'm the only other person there for two hours.

I'd rather do it earlier, but if nobody else wants to, then I'm fine with 6 pm.

By the way, I thought it was on Saturday, but it's SUNDAY? I can still come, but I'm probably going to have to blow something off. Ah, well. I'd rather play vidya games, anyway.
05/27/16, 01:49   
What the. We've been talking about Sunday for awhile now! Get with the program!

I mean, if you and Brandon want to come earlier I'll move it earlier. I actually prefer earlier too. Probably me, Shirley, my brother and his girlfriend will be here all day anyway. I just moved it BACK to 6 because no one was showing up when I used to schedule this stuff for 3 pm and such. I kind of prefer earlier too, we don't get to hang out much, might as well make it EPIC.

So uh... how early is earlier? 3? 4? 5?!
05/27/16, 01:54   
@Zero
I'd be fine with 3, but now I have to check on a couple of prior commitments, what with this whole SUNDAY debacle.
05/27/16, 01:57   
Well uh, let me know. But yeah 3 pm would probably work fine too.
05/27/16, 01:58   
@Zero
Yeah, I think that I might need to make an appearance somewhere (even farther South) for lunch and a while afterward. So don't make any changes yet, I guess. (I could still probably make it by 4 or 5, though.)
05/27/16, 02:03   
@Zero

"Guys." "Do you guys want it earlier?"

@Zero
@Anand

Are you guys Wii U'ing in!? Lets have a video chaaat!
05/27/16, 02:35   
Maybe Brandon is bringing his wife I dunno.

Or maybe Anand has a secret lady friend he is bringing along. IT'S TECHNICALLY POSSIBLE.
05/27/16, 03:17   
Early evening works well for me. 4 or 5 or so. 6 is fine too. And I'll stay as long as I comfortably can, though it probably won't be a terribly late evening for me. And as much as I'd love to drag the wife along, she likely won't make it. Probably.
05/27/16, 07:01   
Edited: 05/27/16, 07:02
Let's make it 4 then, and if people stroll in later it's all good.
05/27/16, 19:55   
You had better make some time for Wii U chat...
