Glen-i

Well, seeing as we'll be with randoms, I'll jump into a random room and you all join me through the Friends menu.

I have no idea what you're on about...

At least it would mean you can't kill me.

I don't mind. @Sméagol, @Nintendo Fan, would you be OK with League Battle?

So... Half an hour for ARMS? 20:00 - 20:45 Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - Races with Randoms Glen-i Nicktendo Sméagol S.C.G Nintendo Fan 21:15 - 22:15 Splatoon 2 - Public Turf War Glen-i Nicktendo Sméagol Nintendo Fan 22:45 - 23:45 Rocket League Whatever modes accommodate the number of players Glen-i Nicktendo Nekunando 00:30 - 1:00 ARMS Party Crash Sméagol Nicktendo 1:00 - ??? Splatoon 2 Mode dependent on players Whoever is available. How's that?

Pssst... He ain't new. I'm pretty sure I'm newer than he is.

Oh, and just to cover my bases. Seeing as I'm gonna be in every room, it might be best if everyone has my Friend Code. That way, anyone can join if I'm in the game. 3034-9087-7910

Coolio! With that knowledge, can I suggest a slight change to the schedule, @Sméagol? 20:00 - 20:45 Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - Races with Randoms Glen-i Nicktendo Sméagol S.C.G Nintendo Fan 21:15 - 22:15 Splatoon 2 - Public Turf War Glen-i Nicktendo Sméagol Nintendo Fan 22:45 - 23:45 Rocket League Glen-i Nicktendo Nekunando 00:15 - ??? Splatoon 2 Whoever is available. How is that? Just tweaked the Splatoon 2 times. Half an hour is plenty of time to take a break.

With you, @Nicktendo and me around, we might be able to fit some Rocket League at around 11pm. How many players do you actually need to get a game going? I've never played Rocket League so someone else will have to fill me in on that. And also not be tempted to nut me while I learn the ropes.

I don't even like Star Trek, but I enjoyed Orville a lot. I really like Black Mirror's Star Trek based episode as well, then again, I like most of Black Mirror, so it shouldn't be surprising.

'Fraid not. Even 4 player Mario Kart races are a bit light on players. EDIT: OK, 5, but it's still quite light. I guess there's two options when it comes to filling out the slots. Either fill the spots with CPU's or jump into a random group online for 45 minutes. What would everyone be up for? Who said I wouldn't be up for more Splatoon later tonight? I suppose we could figure that out later on once @londragon is available.

Hmmm... It's starting to look like only Mario Kart and Splatoon are the only games with a number of players though. That's a shame, I was hoping for a bigger variety of games. @Dcubed, do you think you'd be able to bust out the Jackbox games to help fill out the schedule? I'm not entirely confident I could get a stream going without your help.

Oh, didn't know that. Shows how much I've used it then.

Well then, I have to change my top 10 a bit then. 10. Splatoon 2 9. Sonic Mania 8. Super Mario Odyssey 7. Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia 6. Pokémon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon 5. Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment 4. Yooka-Laylee 3. Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King 2. Monster Hunter Stories 1. Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap Sorry, Puyo Puyo Tetris...

So going by @Sméagol's temporary schedule... 20:00 - 20:45 Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Glen-i Nicktendo Sméagol Ike (Tentative) 21:15 - 21:45 Possibly Arms 22:30 - 23:15 Possibly Rocket League 00:30 - 01:15 01:45 - 02:30 Splatoon 2 Glen-i, Nicktendo, Sméagol, Ike (Tentative) If anyone isn't happy about the Splatoon 2 times. Let us know, don't just let us two dictate everything. The suggested games remain the same, except for Splatoon getting it's possibly fourth player.

@Josh64 You bring up an interesting point when it comes to the difference between Yooka's collectables and Odyssey's collectables. After finally finishing Yooka-Laylee, I've hit upon what exactly stopped Mario Odyssey from getting higher in my list. The main collectables are treated in a very different way. In Yooka, the key items, the Pagies, are not the only thing to get. There's a lot of other smaller things to get and, consequently, are typically easier to get. The Pagies are typically the trickiest thing to get, requiring the player to complete some kind of challenge. On the other hand, Odyssey has one main collectable, the Moons Just like the other old-school 3D Marios. Now this was fine for 64 and Sunshine, because it was still the same kind of premise, the player must complete some kind of challenge and is rewarded with a Star/Shine. Odyssey's main difference is that compared to 64 and Sunshine, there are 5 times the amount of things to collect. I don't care how big your game is, that's a hell of a lot of things to hide. This ends up with a whole lot of Moons that are just there with no challenge connected to it. And because each Moon is worth the same (Apart from the pretty rare Multi Moons), this results in a lot of Moons being unsatisfying to collect. Yooka (And by extension, the Banjo games) get around this problem by having the easier to find collectables be not as important as the Pagies, yet still help the player achieve the goal of collecting Pagies. This keeps a healthy amount of stuff to find, yet keep a sense of satisfaction when you do collect the main driving force. Anyway, there's my thoughts. Did Yooka-Laylee come out this year? I mean, it did on Switch, but I can't remember if it was this year.

Well, that's a story you shouldn't just end there.

That schedule looks good as of now. But MK8 will need at least 45 minutes to do 3 GP's. Of course, the schedule will no doubt have to change a bit once tomorrow rolls around and (hopefully) more people start declaring themselves in. Anyway, here's the current suggested games now that Sméagol has stated what games he'd be up for Splatoon 2 - Glen-i, Nicktendo, Sméagol Arms - Nicktendo, Sméagol Super Bomberman R - Glen-i Doom - Glen-i, Sméagol Pokken Tournament DX - Glen-i Rocket League - Glen-i, Nicktendo Puyo Puyo Tetris - Glen-i, Nicktendo Ultra Street Fighter 2: The Final Challengers - Nicktendo Brawlout! - Glen-i

Oooh, Puyo Puyo is a good choice! Partay Schedule (Times are based off of London Time) 8pm - Mario Kart 8 Deluxe @Glen-i, @Nicktendo 9pm - 10pm - 11pm - 12pm - 1am - I'm gonna add a "Suggested games" section to keep track of what games have been put forward but haven't got to 4 players yet. Splatoon 2 - @Glen-i, @Nicktendo ARMS - @Nicktendo Super Bomberman R - @Glen-i Doom - @Glen-i Pokken Tournament DX - @Glen-i Rocket League - @Glen-i, @Nicktendo Puyo Puyo Tetris - @Glen-i, @Nicktendo Ultra Street Fighter 2: The Final Challengers - @Nicktendo Brawlout! - @Glen-i

Oh right, well that throws a spanner in that idea. Well I (and totally not @Sméagol) have started a thread for this now. So check it out, maybe?

OK, I think we should get some ground rules down for declararations of INness. Declare yourself IN! Post what games you have access to. Suggest any games you think would be good for the night. I'll start a schedule up, and take note of who has what games and with that info we should be able to determine what games we should play. OK, so I'll start. I'm IN! I can play Mario Kart, Splatoon 2, Pokken DX, Doom, Bomberman and Rocket League. I'm gonna go on a long shot and suggest Brawlout! Partay Schedule (Times are based off of London Time) 8pm - Mario Kart 8 Deluxe @Glen-i 9pm - 10pm - 11pm - 12pm - 1am - If we can get at least 4 people on another game, I'll add it to the schedule.

Ooooooooh! I'm thinking we should start at traditional Mario Kart League time 8pm, with, well some Mario Kart. Maybe 1 GP for racing and one for battling. Should take about 30 minutes.

Maybe I should make a new thread on this then? I like the idea, and it might even get me to give Rocket League a shot. I believe Dcubed has that game, so it might be fun. I probably agree on Fifa, though, and similar 1 VS 1 games. I'd rather have games that allow for multiple people to play in one match. More possibilities for wackiness.
