When would you like to play?

by Dan on January 15, 2010

One of the things I want to do here is a regular playdate — a time where I’ll be online to play with anybody who wants to play. I’ve got multiple platforms and we’ll rotate games so everybody’s happyish.

The only thing I can’t figure out is when. I’m in Los Angeles; chances are good that you’re not. What day and time works best? I’d like to do it on a weeknight rather than a weekend, just because I have housework and grocery shopping and all that fun stuff to do on Saturday and Sunday too. If we do it on a weeknight (say, 7pm my time, so it’s 10 for the east coasters), does that work? If I pick Mondays, will all the Big Bang Theory fans be angry, and if I pick Friday, will everybody say they have better social things to do? Let me know the day preference (you can choose more than one) and let’s talk “when o’clock” in the comments.

What weeknight works for a public play session?

    Rooting for Wednesday, I have events most Tuesday nights and Monday/Thursday are good TV show nights. Go Wednesday!

    Use a DVR for TV. My only nights off work are Monday and Tuesday or Wednesday depending on my mood. At least for now…

    Oh I do I live off my TiVo, but not everyone does. Usually any weekday works.

    I'm a DVR guy too but I know some folks would rather be there in real time. I'm that way for some of my shows.

    Doesn't look like I'll be able to do any of these then seeing as I live in the UK :(

    Ah well, I like the new site!

    Grrr I agree damn -8 timezone, I'd have to be up at 3 am!!! Oh well cool site and hopefully this podcast can be as good as koxm…

    You know…we could arrange something for a UK timeslot. Wouldn't be all that regular, but I'd be willing to try something along those lines. You're only 8 hours ahead; that's workable with a little planning.

    Wednesday nights are the only nights that don't work for me as I have rehearsals. I have some gigs on Friday nights. I'm EST. Hope to see you online!

    Hmm just don't get fired for playing consoles at work… Hold on what am I saying you work at Activision!

    Yeah that would be cool. But yeah obviously not every week because it is inconvenient for you. Not impossible though… lol

    Wednesday and Tuesday is the best time.

    Thursday nights! after 6pm Mountain time preferably.

    Thursday and Friday evenings (like last time) work best for me. I was surprised that there was only like 4-5 of us total for the couple hours we played, hopefully more people become interested. Maybe more people will be chatty too as it seemed only Sam, you, and me were talking. Definetly a lot of talking from Sam, LOL. We need to get Andy and Ryan involved (force them agains their will, LOL)!
