They work but they are a bit unappealing asthetically. I usually use BlingyBlob. It's a good thing.

Plus, with only four people to a room, things could get cramped.

When that time comes, a black hole will swallow the Earth :).

Seriously though, there are plenty of multiplayer games out there, to the point where after several months, it wouldn't feel like a cop-out returning to previous BR games. That, and the fact new games are always coming out.

Ideally, we want to have games hosted on every single platfrom we can. Stay tuned for N-Gage Bombing Run! We'll play Pathway to Glory and Pocket Kingdoms: Some Dumb word in l33t!
As of right now, I'm hosting PC stuff at school(cause I don't have my consoles) and TokyoChicken and Systech are doing 360 stuff. As we get more people interested, more games and platforms are gonna open up!

You speak of lies and fallacy! There's a GTA IV PS3 night this Saturday, and if anyone's willing to host some other games for the PS3 for other weeks, then we're sorted.

Bright would be an understatement, but their countdown timers (after much tweeking) can be quite un-blingafied.

I rarely play that game but I think it would go nicely with a Bombing Run. Although there are alot more multiplayer games to touch on also. I, personally, have a dirty love for Perfect Dark Zeros Muliplayer, and would love to see that in a BR. Hey, how 'bout some Soul Calibur?

Perfect Dark would be awesome. I've kept that game for so long.

I don't have that game.:(

I play Warhawk and COD4 for PS3, so any of those will work for me... but I don't think anyone plays them on the PS3.

Since Steam is an absolute amazing program for community based events, doesn't have to be just for Steam games it can be used for any PC game it just is easier to have everyone appear in the Steam community chat to organise and reveal details. I'd really love to see some UK or hell just a more EU friendly time for the Bombing Run so we can get more of the EU community playing alongside the US community and the users from around the globe.

Honestly i'd love it if we could get some GiantBomb TF2 server set up for the PC so we can have staff, mods and users all playing alongside one another and basically doing what gamers do best, play games. However i have no clue how easy or costly this might be to set up a server (never done it in all honesty) so assuming we can't get our own server does anyone have a server they know we could...well you know hijack?...

I'm not meaning anything illegal but basically a server they know is usually empty at a certain time which we could all pile into and fill up lol?

Interesting idea. I know Foil recently bought his own server, who knows what he's doing with that. Steam is useful just for organizing even, you can put events on the calender that don't have to do with the game you're playing in particular.

I remember foil mentioning that he was starting a "gamer's club" where he goes to school. (college?) Maybe that's why he bought the server.

JOINING a gamers club :D But, I'm talking to people right now about it. Technically it's split between me and two others, one who got frustrated at team fortress a couple days ago, and another that won't mind. I'm sure as long as it's still an SSG server (Super Sexy Guys!) Giant Bomb can be fit in there too. Also, there are some things to fix with it. 1) I don't know how to set up admins 2) I was setting it up, and when setting up a sever there's this HUGE text file where you choose your settings. In one of those, I put a "Yes" where a "No" should be. So, instead of letting people download the maps on the server if they don't have them, it kicks them! So, if anyone wants to help me out, you can message me on aim at Foil1212
