@AhmadMetallic: LoL summoner name "Cathadan" on the NA realm. You could also put me down as an interested player for L4D2, Magica, and Dungeon Defenders. (Steam ID: psoplayer)
Duders, I'd love to play Frozen Synapse, I'm pretty bad at it though.
Also, Super Street Fighter IV (HawaianMonkey is my live ID), Saints Row and Dungeon Defenders (Hawaianape ((Like, HawaianApe, but I don't know if Steam recognizes Caps)) is my Steam ID).
Hit me up on Steam for Renegade Ops, Dungeon Defenders, Shogun 2, Company of Heroes, Frozen Synapse, League of Legends, or anything else on my Steam list. My ID is BigGhostrider0712 Nickname is Mitch0712
Did anyone mention Guild Wars? There's tons to do grouping-wise and I doubt you can set up custom PvP matches (I haven't bothered with the PvP yet), but there is PvP and we can just play random people. Anywho, just something to think about. I'm willing to help with that too if need be just let a brotha know.

You can set up GvG scrims, which don't count for anything but are as close as you are gonna get to custom matches. Hellz yeah guild wars!
As soon AE 2012 comes to PC, I'll try to join. The bummer for me is that I always work Mondays and don't get off till 10PM CST so I don't think I can ever make it. :/
Hey Guys, I'm not sure if this is the best place to put it, but I noticed under Team Fortress 2 you had the Tested Server listed with a ?
I'm actually one of the Tested guys that helps maintain the server. It's still around, but unfortunately is broke for some reason. The fault seems to have to do something with the host, and we are current stuck in limbo sending support tickets to the host. Hopefully it will be back soon and you guys can use it for whatever events you want to use it for. When we do manage to get the server back up I will post something in here about it.
EDIT: Oh I also forgot, if you post something on Tested linking to this, you would probably get a lot of PC guys who would join up for this.

I figured as much, would be cool though. I'm anxious to get this thing started though. Between the PvP and Hall of Monuments, I say there's a ton to keep us busy and it'd be great addition to the Hub.
I play TF2, also Legal Legends. Here is my Steam ID, my summoner name is LordPopple.
If you want my advice the best way to do a gamenight for League is to meet up in the Giantbomb chat channel and then either get groups of 5 together to normal queue or set up a 5v5 of GB peeps.
Also I'd do SMNC, I have this as well as many other things.
IRC CHATROOM NOW AVAILABLE! Jump on and propose a game, see who wants to play.
Channel registered and tutorial written by Swoxx .
PC Gaming Hub - IRC Tutorial
Method 1 - WebIRC (The fast & easy way) Step 1: Go to http://webchat.quakenet.org/ Step 2: Enter your nickname and GB_Gaming_Hub in the Channels Box, then hit Join Chat.
Step 3: Done!
Method 2 - (Proper IRC client (still easy)) Step 1: Go to http://www.mirc.com/ and download the software. (Note: there are several other applications for running IRC available, such as Trillian. I’ll be using the classic mIRC client for this tutorial but the steps should hold true for most clients) Step 2: Install the application Step 3: Enter a username and an alternative username*. Then press OK.
*This is for when you’re connected on multiple devices at the same time or when you crash/disconnect and your previous connection has yet to terminate (such as your nick is still showing in the channel when you reconnect)
Step 4: type the following into the chatbox: “/server irc.quakenet.org -j #GB_Gaming_Hub” (without quotations) This will directly connect you to the correct network and dump you into our channel.
This is what it should look like by now if you’re using the standard version of mIRC for Windows, and you should be ready to to find some duders to play with.
Step 5: (OPTIONAL) If you want to be sure to retain your username you can register with the network. To do this, connect to quakenet as shown in step 4 (irc.quakenet.org) then type “/msg Q Hello <email> <emailagain>”. Since this step is optional I wont go into detail. “/msg Q showcommands” is enough to get help, should you need more help, feel free to PM me.
Nearly finished arrangements for: Starcraft II League of Legends Street Fighter AE
Games that will be added soon:
Killing Floor Shogun 2 Payday: The Heist Super MNC Guild Wars
I've been discussing the Starcraft 2 tournaments/events with AhmadMetallic.
I'm currently looking to gauge interest and the number of players for SC2 tournaments and events. If you're interested, please check out this thread and reply:

Good to see some enthusiasm for community game nights :)
You know you wanna fire up the old PC and play with some duders, Hamz ;)
Ok, we have enough info/players for some of the games to begin playing them!
@Sjupp: @Absolute_Zero: @ Resident4t: @RTSlord: @psoplayer: @ CaptainCody: @Jeust: @ArbitraryWater: @Liber: @Xyber: @ProjectGill: @LordXavierBritish: @Mitch0712: You're the current LoL players, Sjupp take it from here!
@NyxFe: @No0b0rAmA: @Video_Game_King: @Jeust: @Mitch0712: @Sjupp: @TwoLines Hey guys, @Sweep is working on a Frozen Synapse tournament. In the mean time exchange Steam IDs and play if that's a thing, I dunno how FS plays.
I will add a SC2 section to the thread once the banner is ready.
Co-Op:
---------------- I'm grouping you guys together, contact each other in a post here or PMs or whatever you like, and get the games going! You can use the new IRC chatroom, Giant Bomb's mumble voice server or the group's dedicated steam chatroom for communication.
Akrid, Alaska Gamer, DaSoul and I have already begun playing E.Y.E together! Game's fucking crazy.
@InfamousBIG: @bigsmoke77: @ThePaco:@Alaska_Gamer: @RunningRaptor: @MrCaptain: @TwoLines: You guys are leading the Co-Op section with the most demand on SR3, you can discuss your preferred play times/locations here, exchange Steam IDs and get the crazy action on!
@Atlas: @IkariNoTekken: @ThePaco: @rynbeed: @MrCaptain: Left 4 Dead 2 group, take it from here! (Steam IDs listed in the front page coop section)
Just spitballing here, but would anyone be interested in maybe including Beat Hazard? For those who dont know its a Steam twin-stick shooter that plays to your music with 2 player online co-op support. You just need to have some of the same songs on your hard drive.

Sounds cool but everyone has to own the same music files for it to work properly, we can give it a go if we share some mp3's between us.
I wouldn't mind getting in on some L4D2 Co-op games. I play versus mode once in a while, but I don't really like the hostility sometimes that comes with it.
I also wouldn't mind running some Alien Swarm games also. I haven't touched that game in a long time though, but I'm down.
Street fighter was nice but only 2 people showed up. WE need more people!
Quick note before I sign out for the night... I think we might have a better turn-out if we moved the event to Thursday or Friday (or even Saturday) evening?

Monday night at 9:30 might prove to be difficult.
