Okay everyone, Summer is almost here and we're not going to spend it with all work and no play, are we??
I'm on Steam, and use the same name there which I do here.
I'm asking to see if anyone may be interested in a loosely affiliated 'team' of members from HH trying to join up in games of mutual interest? There are some neat ones I'd love to do this with too.
This game came up in a sale recently and was one that came to mind as a fun one to play with people from here, if we had more than a couple. (2 wouldn't be so fun with this one...but 3-4 would)

Who is up for some Hernando gaming?

- You find out, after you're at sea, that the ship is a big murder mystery with real murders, and the mystery of avoiding who is assigned to you, while getting who you are assigned to kill. At the same time, there are side missions from the ship's crew to add to the confusion of who may be an enemy and who isn't even interested in you but passing through the room to something else entirely. Points are awarded by success and creativity of method/tools, among other things.
It's kinda like Hitman without the complexity and need for commitment of time to play to the end. It was on sale recently for $5, and now back to $10. I'm not sure its worth it at $10 ..and wouldn't really recommend it personally for that. If it hits $5 again though, I'd just about be willing to buy a 4-pack myself, and give the other 3 to people willing to play and give it a whirl?

There are a number of games like that coming up, and Steam seems to have really taken to the mass sales with $5-$10 title prices where I'd say it was probably worth the full retail price when released. Now? These cheapies aren't necessarily cheesy on game play with friends to have a good time with.
So..who has a spare $20 laying around often enough to grab those occasional $5-$10 deals on something good, or follow sales and recommend when I and others may want to snatch something up for this? ...or might have a big collection of games now with likely overlaps of enjoyment already?

I'd asked something like this before, and Sheepslayer responded with DOTA. I loved his quick reply, and gave it a shot to see what it was ...but that really is a long term commitment, competition, ladder type deal. I mean, I found no enjoyment in a few rounds as a purely casual player, and to come and go in casual playing where long term goals just aren't what its about? I'm really not looking for another big time sink that'll take hundreds of hours to build skill or character like DOTA or an MMORPG. (I'm in EQ II with nice stuff now, if anyone else is there already for that?)
I'm just a casual kinda gamer these days, looking to very casually game with friends, for the pure fun of it ..not to compete like it matters or make work of it. Perhaps with a different bargain basket game occasionally, as they pop up?
So who's up for it?
** There are also a few open world, world building games like Rising World, 7 Days, Subnautica and others. Some of those are multi-player, in being able to create a persistent world friends can join into, and not necessarily make a big deal of joint play, but share in building or watching the others progress while making whatever you choose to. That sounds like fun as well, and might make aggressive zombie survival modes in world builders like 7 Days interesting for a kind of high tempo co-op?
I'd be great with hosting and maintaining a server on one of those, if more than a couple came to play and would use it. I can also host any other game servers, after browbeating my cable company into getting their gatekeeper off my network wire. So we would never be at the mercy of pub servers or make-do ad-hoc servers with any speed issues.
