Hello friends!

I'll be honest with you. Quarantine is starting to get to me. I really need some social interaction. I'm looking for people to play some games with! I have 2 ideas, but I'm open to other games. I do have Xbox live and Nintendo switch online. I don't have ps+ and I don't pc game.

On Xbox, I would love to play some Halo with people. If anyone would be down for playing some master chief collection, that would be awesome. Hell, I'll even play some Halo 5 if someone would like. I do have game pass (and I own a bunch of other games), so I'm open to other online games as well. Oh, and I just bought far Cry 4 if anyone would like to play some co-op there.

My other thought is to do a Jackbox party pack online with as many of you as would like to play. I've never done it before. But I think I could stream the game on twitch or mixer. Or maybe even YouTube (I've never streamed before, but I'm sure I can figure it out). We'd still need audio though. I suppose we could do discord? I'm totally open to suggestions here.

I just would really like to spend some time gaming with some cool peeps. Let me know if you're interested or have suggestions!

I don't have an xbox and the only online games for Switch I have is Smash and Mario Maker 2. I'm also not the most talkative person when gaming either so.....
If somehow we could make the time zones work out one day.

I don't really play Smash. Mario could be fun! I haven't really played it online. Don't know much about how it works unfortunately

I played a couple times online and the lag was.... not good. I was playing against randoms though. Maybe playing with someone on the friends list will go better.

It's just really a race to the end of a random level. Could be fun if we got 4 of us.

Do you remember how you did it? I assume someone streamed it. Did you all connect any audio?
We chatted through Discord, though you can do that through PSN party chat as well if everyone has that. I got Jackbox on both PS4 and Switch., I stream it via Twitch then had everyone sign in via their devices on jackbox.tv

That would be great chaotic fun

That sounds pretty simple. And I think a ton of the dtoid regulars have discord, so that would probably be fine for the audio. I'll have to get a twitch account and see if I can get a stream going.

Here is a blog with all the salient info:
