Giant Bomb Discord Game Day

Hi everyone! We are now moving onto our fourth Discord Game Day.

If you weren't aware there is an Unofficial Giant Bomb Discord server running It's free to join and has lots of friendly people playing games and chatting pretty much all day long. There will be a dedicated channel for these events on the server so we can get the best co-ordination possible

But that's not the point of this thread. You are free to join us without joining Discord.

I am here to invite anyone interested in joining in on the Giant Bomb Discord Game day, where we all get together to play a certain game at the same time. These games will typically be older games that maybe the servers are empty now and you can't seem to find a match, or it could be newer games that you just want friendly people to play with.

Our third game will be :

Dawn of War 2

The date of this will be:

Sunday, June 6 @ 1pm EDT

Hopefully the turn out is good as that will dictate how many more of these happen.

Game ideas and general feedback is welcome as well as if there is a more popular time we can consider switching to accommodate more people. Feel free to PM me here, on Discord or in the Discord Game Day channel.

Just going to give the server a recommendation. I've been in there for a while and we usually have around 60 people at once, and we've even been graced by Jeff on occasion. Of course not all of them talk, but we do have a few regulars every day. And the more people means the more chance to play games with someone! So come on in and just have a great time.

I'm on board with this.

Joined the discord, but related question.

So anyone know of a way to get the EA Origin Syndicate version to work on Windows 10 with Skylake?

Google only came up with this. And I'm saying no to bios updates for DRM.

This sounds really fun, but Syndicate is banned in Australia... =(

Will you be adding the event to the GBPCGH group? I'm terrible at remembering these things but always have steam running.

@mister_v: should be there.

@audiobusting: Yup... still can't believe I've never played this rad game because of arbitrary classification rulings.

Australia isn't as archaic as many think, but decisions like this are keh-razy.

On a positive note, enjoying the Discord channel! So much easier for me to be vaguely social with GB cats for once.

I'm in for sure. Joined on Discord, and I'm reinstalling Syndicate right now. So ready to rip some chips.

Sometimes I get freaked out by Discord because I forget to close it from the system tray and I don't realize people can hear me talk while I'm playing games on my headset.

is it a shifty discord?

@emanc93: You can do two thing about that, Either leave the current discord voice channel by clicking on the disconnect button, or toggle mic mute in discord. No reason to be afraid :)

Just a reminder this will be happening tomorrow! So get your Syndicate installed. If you are feeling friendly join the Discord server.

Matchmaking should start at around the designated time. Hope to see a bunch of you there.

Im up!

For anyone interested. The server IP is 54.175.123.36

Had a lot of fun playing it with bombers, will definitely be doing it again!

Even though I mostly died, they were fun deaths. Ill be back again for the next one!

New game! This time we are going to switch to an RTS with Dawn of War 2.
