The OWF Games club
This isn't a clan, or a cohesive team or anything like that, just a little experiment I thought we could try, and yes, it is basically a book club for The Video Games. Here's how it works:
At the start of a month/cycle/whatever, we all decide to play through one specific game for a certain period. This doesn't prohibit you from playing anything else, just trying as best you can to see the game through to completion in the time period specified. We do have specific threads for games already, so this is basically buckling down and focusing on one a bit more than others. Anyone is welcome to join, but you must own the game or be willing/capable of acquiring it. Obviously not everyone has a PS3/PC/360/Wii/whatever, so cross platform games will be a good idea.
An important part of this is that the game doesn't have to be brand new. For example, we could play through Final Fantasy VII or Metroid Prime or the old Crash games or anything like that, the point is to maintain a dialogue about it and try to make at least one post/new point each time you play (with limits to avoid too much shitposting.) An important part will be keeping things spoiler free for people who haven't played the game before.
Additionally, there's a funny little thing that Sony doesn't talk about that is actually an essential feature of PSN: Game sharing. Honest to goodness, legal gamesharing. Anything downloaded from the PSN can subsequently be downloaded to 5 other (or possibly a total of 5) PS3's. We'd use dummy accounts to distribute them and I'm comfortable with buying the games myself. Sony doesn't like Account sharing, though, because of Netflix/PS Gold and that sort of stuff, so we'll have to set some rules as to how we do this and to avoid having an international entertainment megacorp on our butts.
I'm sort of aiming for the next few weeks, so all ideas/criticisms/suggestions are appreciated.
