Okay, I definately have to get down and dirty with this topic. I don't know what I'm going to talk about yet though.

Cool topic, I'll have to come up with something this month too.

cool topic! I've got loads of MP-stories to tell :-) have been playing online since 56k-modems :-)

"You could talk about how one's enjoyment of a multiplayer game is directly proportional to one's skill at that game."

I've thought of this before.

Rare is the multiplayer game where losing is as fun as wining.

I think its a design not many games incorporate into their multiplayer.

Usually, either you excel and pwn n00bz left and right, get your kick from dominating, or languish in a loop of quick deaths and respawns.

I've been playing online since 28k modems! Warcraft 2 got pretty intense.

Darth Kupi, I'd beg to differ. I've seen multiple examples where a feat of heroism in a competitive game is enjoyed and admired by all the parties involved. I can recall many times in games like TF2, Gears, UT, etc. where one or two guys claimed an epic victory, and everybody, from the victims on the opposite team, to the guys on the same team that hadn't performed, congratulated the heroes. I think I'm gonna write about this particular phenomenon.

I don't see "Monthly Musings" as a selectable category. Mind you, I'm entirely new to the community side of the site, so mayhaps I'm just missing something.

Help?

So a blog about interacting with players in a small time mmo is welcome?

I think a great multiplayer moment is when you're able to emote to the people or person that you're playing together with through the actions of your player/character.

One example that comes to mind, besides a recent Left4Dead moment, was in Warcraft 3 2vs2. It's one those times when you have a complete keyboard-mouse-mind-meld-gaming-stream-of-conciousness moments. So you know from your and your partner's actions exactly what's going on, what needs to happen and when it needs to happen without even saying a thing. Moments when you honestly feel like you're at a breaking point and the only thing that can save your ass is if your co-op player comes to save you or vice versa. These are usually the moments upon ending the game, you can talk about it with the person that you just played it with, how fucking badass it was.

Ahhh.. good times.

Moments like that and cybering with someone you KNOW is a chick. That's pretty special too.

Hmmm...ima hafta think about this one

My first online game was Island of Kesmai, on the Compuserve network. It cost $6/hr at 300 baud. Can you even imagine?

I love any team-play based online games though. I tend to shy away from non-team deathmatches.

Oh man, I've got a WICKED idea for this.

Heh I've got one. Nice topic!

What Darth Kupi said. I hate Super Smash Bros., but a lot of that hate stems from the fact that most of my friends are way better at it than I am.

Oh this is going to be fun.

How to get your themed article frontpaged: Don't be a bleh, man.

Someone write about asymmetric multiplayer plz. (super mario galaxy)

That was, I think, one of the best semi-passive multiplayer experiences I've ever had.

--------------------

That being said, I've never felt more demoralized than when I realized other people weren't going to actually role play creatively in the MUCKs I was on.

(MUCK == MUD, no dice, just RP)

Be warned: my musing is gonna involve Shaq Fu.

just finished mine :-)

thanks.

thankssssssss
