The Friday Get-Togethers Thread

[MetalPredat0r]

How long do you guys typically play? I'd be up for joining in, but it seems I never get a Friday that gets me out of work early. I'm EST as well.

Three to Four hours, usually.

Welcome, Yukibro.  Thanks for your videos by the way. (And, thanks Okayu for the translations).

You don't have to stay the entire time if that's more convenient.

I usually leave around an hour or 1.5 hours since I'm pretty much a butler for my parents.  (Actually, the real reason is that I'm a terrible player, so I run away like a coward.)

Like they said, you don't have to stay the entire time, some of us don't/can't. It'd be great to have you along with us if you can, but if not, understandable.

Nice to have a Yukibro. Literally, I adore this girl.

So with that said, I'm curious -- what games do you have? I'd be eager for more racing contestants since I pretty much play Mario Kart like this.

@Everyone (including Seth who probably won't read this)

My apologies for leaving abruptly.  Something really urgent came up, so I shut off everything and left the house literally within 10 seconds.  I hope I didn’t cause too much trouble, but sometimes the unexpected happens.  So, I'm sorry about that. 

Mario Kart 8 was great.  I have no complaints since blue shells are my savior (most of the time).

Only managed 1 game of smash, but I was destroyed (especially by Seth) and looked like a beginner.  My biggest weakness is lag and the new characters.

@Everyone again

Do you guys Skype each other throughout the week? I noticed a ton of chat messages whenever I login.

You know, I hate to admit this (and really embarrassing to say), but you guys are starting to grow on me.  I don't know why.  Just hearing your voices while laughing and having fun makes me feel like I know you guys for a long time.  Seriously, there are very, very few people in this world who can make me laugh.

Ugh...I can't believe I said that.  I just ruined my ego.

Hey man, shit happens. If you have to do something important, I won't hold it against you for prioritizing it over us. I understand that you have your own business.

Yes. Sorry if your notifications exceed about 100. We talk a lot. ;

Don't feel bad. It's great to have you as part of the group, dude. The more friends, the merrier. You keep it cool and show up to have some fun. It happens. The best part of these get-togethers is hanging out with everyone and having a good time. If you're having fun, that makes me happy and grateful to have come up with these in the first place. Hope to see you again next week, bud.

[mariokirby]

Did I miss anything?  Sorry, I couldn't come at the last minute. 

[Vas]

It's all good. We know that not all of us can always be there. Stuff comes up, no problem.
But in regards to missing anything, just the usual shenanigans of gameplay...Although yesterday included the seemingly never ending Hyrule Temple stage and the -Dorfing match.

[DeviantProtagonist]

Not to mention my surprise Bowsercide fest that got the best of you lot. :3

[Yukibro]

Sorry if I made it seem like I could join in by now, but I've been sick this week and heading out for vacation for the next week. I was more curious to see if I can make it work out on future dates, which I probably can. I've been meaning to shift work days around, anyway.

As far as this topic goes, I do have MK8 with its DLC and Smash with its DLC. Not sure what else you guys have been playing outside of those, but I can likely reach it if it's on the Wii U or PC.

@Esteban

You're going to hate me for saying this, but I can barely recall your voice even though I see you at the group call.  Of course, I don't listen to anyone's voice while I'm playing unless they're yelling at me.

@Yukibro

Don't worry.  Whatever is convenient.  The people here are pretty cool.  Just watch out for Dean.  His driving and fighting skills are not something to mess around with.  (I'm just joking).

[MetalPredat0r]

That explains why you're so good at Mario Kart! You actually concentrate!

No worries, there's always me in Smash. 
^{Only on the 3DS though.}

Lol, not a problem. I'm that guy with an unnaturally deep voice, and a lot of times I talk but have my headset is muted. That, and I'm usually absent or quiet in the first bit. But like they say, you're probably too focused on the game to notice! :3

[mariokirby]

*Sigh* Today was my worst performance ever in both Smash and Mario Kart.

Seth and Dean totally annihilated me.  I seem to win whenever Arturo's around since he does a good job messing them up.

I lost every round to Seth in Mario Kart.  Dean obviously beats me a couple rounds. (Yes, I was actually holding back hitting Seth, so that he could take you down.  But, it didn't work the way I planned.)

In smash I lost all 3 stocks as Kirby while Dean had 1 stock as Ganondorf.  That was embarrassing.

Arturo, watch out for those two.  They gotten really good since the first time I played against them.

Whew...but that was fun.  Being on the edge of my seat with my palms sweating as any tiny mistake will cost you the match/race.
