    When: Saturday January 28th 4PM PST - 12AM PST
    Where: Skype

    With the success of last months chat there was a lot of interest expressed in attempting to do a monthly chat with the members of JustAnime. During the chat we talk, joke around, drink and most importantly play games that everyone in the chat can enjoy. Last time we were limited on what games we could play because none of us thought ahead to make a list of stuff to download ahead of time.

    So here is the two games we played last time:
    https://azala.info/static/index.html
    http://www.pinturillo2.com/

    And here is my list that I propose we play. We also want suggestions and we will form a smaller list by Thursday so we can all start downloading.

    All these are free
    Team Fortress 2: http://store.steampowered.com/app/440/
    Evolve Stage 2: http://store.steampowered.com/app/273350/
    Teeworlds: http://store.steampowered.com/app/380840/
    Hawken: http://store.steampowered.com/app/271290/
    Unturned: http://store.steampowered.com/app/304930/
    Infestation: The New Z: http://store.steampowered.com/app/555570/
    Paladins: http://store.steampowered.com/app/444090
    Robocraft: http://store.steampowered.com/app/301520
    Counter-Strike Nexon: Zombies: http://store.steampowered.com/app/273110

    Well, crap. Blasted internet won't let me partake in the audio and gaming part of this. I can keep an eye on the text part of it, at least.
    Besides, work will probably keep me out of it early on anyway.

    Toxikk is another game that is free. At least, partially in a workable online demo form.

    There's also Town of Salem which is a free browser game:
    https://www.blankmediagames.com/

    All someone has to do is make an account and do the tutorial in their own time, then they can be ready to play whenever.

    There's always Smite, though the problem with Smite and Paladins is that it limits teams to five each, and I don't know if you can do private matches.

    Things I've noticed about free games: they usually have terrible developers (poor development practices; lack of consistent updates; and/or developers abandon it) or terrible practices (pay to win; micro-transactions; horrid balancing typically in PvP-styled games).
    Alien Swarm looks promising, and Unturned looks decent.
    Heroes of the Storm is alright, but I'm rather annoyed by the micro-transaction part (although you can grind in-game gold as the alternative payment option so it's not as awful as other games that only accept real world money to unlock pieces of content). When I played, you didn't really get to pick a permanent hero to keep while they rotated the free heroes each week. So if there was one you really like, but didn't care about the rest, chances are, you'd have to grind the in-game money if you wanted to keep the hero if you didn't want to pay real money for it. It has been a while since I played though, so maybe they've changed this to allow you one free hero of your choice to keep while the rest go into the "free hero rotation" weekly lineup.

    I'm more of a co-op PvE type of gamer. Even in World of Warcraft, I usually avoid PvP. I think I'd be more interested in a Terraria or World of Warcraft get together more than any of the games listed so far (including posts by other members).

    Also, on the subject of "Skype" perhaps Discord might be a better choice, or at least it could be given a chance. In the video recording that Laximus made, Sporadic couldn't get Skype to work well with his computer, including updates and such. If I recall correctly, someone else had issues with Skype freezing up just trying to join the voice chat and had to use an alternative method to join the Skype conversation. I know I've been noticing some issues with Skype ever since Microsoft bought them out. And servers are up 99.99% of the time. You also won't have to worry about reaching the member limit of 25 in a group call if the participant level grows beyond Skype's allowed limit. (I have one set up ready to go, which ownership can then be transferred to either Ella as the Social Community Liaison or Spor as the Site Director if they wish to take ownership. Just in case, here is an Invite Link to the server if a Discord JAN server doesn't already exist).

    Turns out I can probably make it. Seeing as I'm not as busy as I usually am at the weekend. So I have a feeling I will be able to make it this time!

    Yeah, I'll be there.

    @Lince suggested Town of Salem when we did the call, and I went to check it out afterwards. By no means is it as entertaining as the other things you listed, but it is good for a fallback as we're winding down.

    The whole reason why @Laximus And I kept this simple was for the fact that not everyone has the right equipment for some of these games or any at all. That leaves people out that normally would like to join. If we would like to do this we can make it a separate thing but for the most part this is just a time for people to sit back and relax. I for one would like to make a JD game night for something like this. Mainly I've been on my Ark kick.

    Question for you Crazy. Do you think you can take pictures of your experience and share them with us? Also, one more question. If you have a video recorder you think it's possible to make a video and showcase your time on the JD Youtube Channel?

    Regardless of your answers I sincerely hope you have a wonderful time. ​
