Hello all! How are you guys? As some of you may know, Yesterday was the Staff vs. Members playdate! Starting at Three O'Clock PM CST, Our lovely Staff starters RedStarRocket91, Church, and Brony went into battle with us members! <--- (Your favorite team) Featuring The Dumb Marine, F1ZM, JXZAW, TGS Shadowless, Trae Housten, Spyro, and Bnus to start out! We played slayer, 343iSWAT, SWAT, Boogeyman, and a few variants of Regicide. (Not RegiSWAT..), We also got to go back in time and play classic infection on Halo: Reach map remakes! Featuring Asylum, Countdown, Uncaged, and Blood Gulch! Some other lovely people who made it late but stylish surely were BeckoningZebra1, Drizzy_Dan, Absolute Dog, GermanShepardD, and HC Halo 3 Recon!! With our loveable Dog GSD still holding his expertise in SWAT and with sniper rifles, He was the best man on the other team. (Don't worry ADog, You were very well of a fighter too! As well as RSR91. And Brony (If I had a headset and a capture card this would be very much interesting...) One of the best moments may have been RSR running from the Boogeyman, A very entertaining act you had there buddy, It was just as funny as Cops n' Robbers, With mongooses flipping around a blocky city that had really even roads. <--- Not really even, Very bumpy... Now, While everyone probably had this one moment You have to agree that despite the fighting and any possible crouching it was very fun! Even if some of us were very hyper! Heres a question for you guys, What was your favorite part of the playdate? (Sorry if it seemed dull, I'm not very good with recaps.. Or memory!)
