BBR Gaming League

What's wrong with skype? It's free and I can check my phone if we are out to tell people when we'll be home :P

reply to Archivis
I am up for it, like i said in another thread playing even a bad game can be fun just by playing it with friends.

And: I don't know how good skype is when you get 10+ on the same call or if the master call drops having to reform.

Count me in.

I figure just posting here puts us in the BBR Gamer League, but doing something formal might be nice. I don't hop from game to game very often due to my limited gaming budget, but might if the right one comes up. I agree with Ant about vent. I never had a problem with skype, and it be free.

I mean, we're all here. So just like what's happening now with the D3 beta, a thread has been made and the same folks are chiming in. I'm even thinking about getting it so I can play with you guys. There's no guarantee, even with an official group, that everyone will migrate to a game. But I think most of the core people will do it naturally. It's not like it's a secret what the next game is going to be, with all the hype in here.

Yep,

I know people like Skype, but I like the old days of Vent where you could just hop on and BS with folks. With Skype, people could be on and wanting to hang out for the evening, but if they aren't a part of the game, they aren't on the call.

I just remember the old-school WoW days where we had a Vent server and people would hop on and BS even before we did any 5-mans or raids.

Does anyone know of a way to set up an open conference line in Skype?

reply to Archivis
I don't know if you can set up a conference in skype or not. It looks like you have to upgrade to some business model that costs money in order to do it. If that's the case, might as well go tried and true with vent. We just have to pony up some dough.

We could probably just mooch off drew's vent.

reply to Archivis
Should check out Mumble over Ventrillo if you go that route. Had a mumble server when i was still raiding and it was easier to use/modify and had less lag.

Drew is the rich kid that plays one game a season so that the team can afford to play at all.

His daddy owns the baseball field. Hope he gets us new uniforms and equipment this year.

I agree the old days of ventrillo were great. I don't even want to speculate at how many hours I've spent just shooting the shit over vent with fellow clan mates (Counter Strike days) or guild mates (WoW)

Even if you were doing completely different things, being in a channel all together and just chatting was great.

I've always preferred vent over skype because you can CHOOSE when to talk and when not to talk without having to press the hard line mute on your microphone/headset. Just sucks that it has a slight delay but you get used to it.

reply to Archivis
totally down for the BBR league, and for ventrillo, just because I'm fine with shooting the shit with people but I hate interrupting people when they are playign with a phone call, etc.

reply to Archivis

Probably. I am leaning towards cancelling Tera mostly because of the fractured mechanics, but also the sub model, the exaggerated anime sexuality, and the influx of hormonal teenagers that will probably bring. We'll see if things shape up over the next couple months prior to release.
