I thought it was weird to have one thread for both games. I would have made two seperate threads personally.

Going forward any double game month will have two (2) topics, one per game. It was simply an oversight this year.

I am happy with this as the calendar, even if it doesnt include some of the stuff I wanted originally. I'm glad we have something at last.


On the other hand, I thought we were gonna push PSO further back in the year so we have time to get everything set up? I'm still confused about what is required for it myself.

We're all gonna play on PC? Or will some of us be going for Gamecube or something?

You've got 2 months until January.

If you want to play on PC via the Shtack server, you just need to go there and download their software and make an account.

There's no rule. PC is probably easiest for most, but there's private servers for Dreamcast and GameCube as well if folks want to get in on that instead.

I think people playing on the GC can play with those on BB? Not sure on that though.

Everyone should play on the PC if its an option. Way more content. It'd be interesting to see what people think of Ep 1 and 2 compared to the fan-made ep 4.

You can play with Dreamcast, Gamecube, and PC on the same server. HOWEVER it is buggy to cross platforms.

I will be playing it on the PC.

Hey, I have a suggestion - no biggie if it is ignored.

Maybe we could put a longer game like Ultima in August? I feel like Beat em ups are a waste in the summer, because Beat Em Ups are short time investments, where in August more posters probably have more free time.

Me in particular, I'm probably going to have finals/mid terms around November along w/ work next year, and a game like Ultima 4 will get in the way of that where a Beat em Up wouldn't. What do you guys think of the suggestion? I know Ultima doesn't have the colorful summer vibe, but it seems more practical.

I like this list. I guess phantasy star portable is not the same as online right?
