I can't get that crew to play any of the older games. It was a 90 minute drive both ways to my monthly LAN party, I may get 30 minutes of arena shooters. The bigger, yearly LANs stopped doing tournaments for arena shooters or even advertising any scheduled play, so I stopped going. If I spend more time traveling then I do gaming, I'm not too happy.

When I say the company isn't very good, I mean

  • Hearing the same few crude jokes repeatedly
  • Hearing "ew girls" jokes whenever a woman did show up(they would never show up a second time)
  • Hearing "ew Mac" jokes, even though I kicked their asses in UT2k4

When I said they wanted to just RP, one of them actually wanted to install a whole windows machine in their car just to have a BF2 sound board while they drive. Lots and lots of gunfire sfx. Yes, he was very very white.

I bailed before "GamerGate" was a thing, so at least I didn't have to hear those shit takes.
