Try Sea of Thieves for $1

Sea of Thieves is a PC and Xbox One game that allows cross play between the two where you form a crew of up to 4 and sail around looking for treasure and having other adventures. If we have more than 4, we will split into several crews. It is tough to play together with multiple crews with the current game design, but we will make at least one attempt to get on the same server together at the start by joining as separate ships and meeting on the ferry of the dead. Make sure to check the game on the Microsoft store app prior to community night to see if there is an update that needs to be downloaded/installed by the store app! Also, if you buy the game through the Microsoft store on either the PC or Xbox, you can install and play it on both the PC and Xbox One simultaneously

If you do buy it, make sure to post your Xbox Live name to this thread and to add the names there to your friends list to find crew mates:

Posted on Sunday January 19, 2020

Need to perform maintenance on the game server this morning. I will update when this is done.

Prepare for winter WAN party: Day of Defeat:Source
Posted on Friday January 17, 2020

The final game to show up in our schedule of events for our winter WAN party taking place tomorrow Saturday January 18 will be Day of Defeat:Source which we will switch to around 9:45 PM Eastern. You need only have it installed from STEAM as any maps that are not included with the game will be downloaded from the server automatically. However, if you want to make sure that you have all the maps ahead of time, you can download them from here. If you do not already own the game, you can buy it through STEAM ($10):

Also following this game will be random bonus time for anyone who wants to play coop games later into the night. See you tomorrow starting at 6:00 PM Eastern!

Prepare for winter WAN party: Star Wars Battlefront
Posted on Thursday January 16, 2020

The next game to show up in our schedule of events for our winter WAN party taking place this coming Saturday January 18 will be Star Wars Battlefront which we will switch to around 8:30 PM. This is the original Battlefront game from DICE and not the newest one (or 2 as it would be). If you do not already own the game, you can buy it through Origin for $20:

https://www.origin.com/usa/en-us/store/star-wars/star-wars-battlefront/ultimate-edition

We will be playing a private match, so we will start by meeting in a private match lobby. You do need to be on the Origin friends list of the host, so if you have never played the game with us, please post your Origin name here (or make sure to add Kramerika to your Origin friends list at the least). There is no in-game chat to use for this game, so we will use the Discord lobby and Origin friends to coordinate and socialize.
