Given the recent post on videogames on this "videogame"/nerd culture sub and that we already have a book club going on, I was wondering how many people here would be down to do a videogame club in the same fashion. I also have more free time now that my main game is giving away free pride related shit that I don't want in my inventory lol.
We could give people a month to play through the videogame or have weekly discussions if the game is chapter-based. Feel free to list the videogames that you would want us to play and we can have another polling post to choose the most voted videogame.
And if the cost is an issue, there is always the high seas.
Possible Videogames:
- Dishonored 1
- Dead Space 1, 2
- KOTOR I, II
- Elder Ring
- Portal
- Half Life
- Witcher
TBH, I don't rate any games' writing very high on the "thought provoking" writing list. There's some comedy gems and highly entertaining gung-ho pulp fiction writing, but nothing that I feel would be worthwhile to dissect post-hoc like a book club.
There is one kind of gaming club I have often thought about doing though. There are a whole bunch of amazing old multiplayer games I know that are ghost towns now, and if you keep an eye out for sales you can grab them for just a couple of bucks fairly often. I'd love to have a club that picks one of these missed gems and as a mass revives the chosen game for a few hours every weekend or so.
But op-sec wise there's no way in hell I'm going to tie my Steam account to anything here, so alas I couldn't participate in that here but can suggest some obscure but good games.
