Maybe things have changed since the Bluegrass CAG thread was born.

I'm pretty much 3-5 min away from you. Hello neighbor.

Hello neighbor. It is hard to meet folks. My fiancee and I have mentioned this time to time. If you'd like to do a game night be cool to come to your place and meet a fellow CAG. What games do you like? I own a Playstation 3 and a 3DS.

If you'd prefer meet in public for safety I understand. Ever been to Moka or Tom&Chee?

Well if you lived about 5 or so hours away, my gaming group does that stuff all the time. I'm in Paducah, which is on the western side of the state.

Henderson here. I was transplanted here in the last few years after living most of my life in Evansville, IN.

I'm an Xbox 360 player, with small amounts of PC games thrown in.

I have to say the GameStop here in Henderson is great. I never liked GameStop before the one here opened. I just love the people who work there.

Yay! More western Kentucky people!

Also a Hendersonian. I agree our GameStop is better than pretty much every other GameStop I've been to, especially since Paducah is out of Phoenix Wright games.

The only downfall of our GameStop is the fact that with it being in a smaller town, we have less of a chance of getting midnight launches.

I'm in Frankfort, never any deals here....

Most of the games with midnight launches are crap anyway.

We did manage to get a midnight launch for Borderlands 2, but that's about it so far for any of the games that most stores have had midnight launches for that I've been interested in.

Well, I think there had also been Madden and a few others. (Why would someone stay up until midnight for the same game they bought last year?) Pretty much anything guaranteed to pull a few million copies to the cherished 18-34-year-old males will get a midnight launch.

I'd love to see a midnight launch for a Pokemon game.

I'm probably being to hopeful that there will be a midnight launch for Bioshock Infinite. Not sure where that falls in with the 18-34 year old male crowd. Not being male, that's a crowd I've never belonged to. :p

I definitely agree on your thoughts on the Madden games, but then I also don't play any sports games at all.

Yeah, I don't see a Pokemon game getting a midnight launch. There just isn't enough gun play, I guess.

Pretty much any game with an M rating and a multi-million-dollar advertising budget gets a midnight launch (at least in Indiana). And Madden. Bioshock has a great story and seems to be the most intelligent of the FPS games I've seen played... maybe because both my fiancé and I avoid online multiplayer like the plague.

18-34-year-old males have been the demographic most advertisers pour their money to appealing to. So, it seems to me most big games are made to appeal to them. Maybe it's just me wanting to walk up to whoever is heading up Team Ninja now and slap them with a rolled-up newspaper.

Buying games like Animal Crossing is my way of giving them the finger.

I avoid competitive online multiplayer, but sometimes enjoy co-op online multiplayer. I still can only really enjoy it with certain types of people though, as I have a low tolerance for listening to young teenagers bash their teammates. I also get irritated being called "kid." Apparently it's unheard of that a middle aged woman would be playing a game, so they assume my voice belongs to a young teenage boy. That always makes it interesting when my almost 20 year old son joins me in a game and calls me Mom.

I don't buy many games on release day, but I have considered pre-ordering them in Evansville just for a better chance at a midnight launch. The GameStop here in Henderson sometimes doesn't have midnight launches for the same games they have for midnight launch in Evansville.

I used to be mostly a casual pc gamer. My son introduced me to games he thought I'd like and gradually added more as my taste expanded. I'm not great at action games, but I have patience with things, so I've gotten better with practice. Never thought I'd play an FPS type game, but find myself willing if the story line of a game is good enough.

I think Bioshock Infinite is getting a midnight launch here. Co-op is the way to go for online games, I think. (I have some fond memories of Phantasy Star Online.) People tend to act more civilized when working together. It's frustrating to see kids bash each other for no reason, other than to just be obnoxious. To be honest, I get aggravated at people being obnoxious in general... I enjoy RPGs and platformers, mostly - my favorites include Zelda, Animal Crossing, Phoenix Wright, and LittleBigPlanet.

People should also learn not to assume that you're a kid just because you have a high voice. I get that a lot too... and it's frustrating. :p It's really satisfying when we get to teach them a lesson, though.

Games are for all of us.

I'll be at EvilleCon this weekend, rocking the StreetPass Evansville table with giveaways for 3DS point cards and Phoenix Wright on the DS, Stupid Mii Tricks, and whatever else I can pull out of my Luigi hat.

/almost 30
//probably still going to go for the Pikachu 3DS XL

I just checked the GameStop website, and sure enough, midnight launch here, so yeah, I'm happy about that.

Obnoxious people are the main reason I don't play more online co-op multiplayer. Most of the time it's just not worth the risk of dealing with obnoxious people, so I mostly play with my son and his friends.

I'm mostly into action rpg games, but will try out pretty much any FPS that has a decent story line to it. I also enjoy strategy games.

We were going to check out EvilleCon, but then decided to spend most of the weekend playing Heroclix and having a cookout.

That's understandable. I'm just there to help... mostly.

I'm pretty much spending all my CAG time in this thread, especially until the Pikachu 3DS XL scalping BS blows over.

Not actually in KY but across the river from Louisville in Southern Indiana.



Have teenagers, one of whom is a gamer like his dad.

We have ps3, wii u, xbox 360, and wii.

Which city? I'm probably really close to wherever you live, as I live across the Ohio River from Louisville, myself.

In or near Kentucky, all are welcome. I'm a (really strong pitcher's) stone's throw from southern IN myself.
