This has always been what's stopped me. None of my friends IRL have ever had even a passing interest in video games until recently, so I've never had the chance to properly experience online games in a genuinely fun environment...

Snap, Taf. IRL my mates are not interested in videogaming but, backing up Pedz' point, I've got into online play through GRcade and now things like Mario Kart Monday and Rocket League Tuesday are staple parts of my gaming fun.

This has always been what's stopped me. None of my friends IRL have ever had even a passing interest in video games until recently, so I've never had the chance to properly experience online games in a genuinely fun environment. Even Overwatch has been 90% solo play, which is a completely different experience to playing with a full team of friends.

People have fri new IRL? I play games with people from here.

Ha! I've tried a few times with you lot and it's been good. But the midst of an online game isn't the best place to get to know someone, and I think it's the familiarity that breeds fun. For example, I feel I got to know you and the other podcasters far more in that recording than I did the chaps I played Overwatch with.

Maybe I just need to be more active. strawberry float, I've been on here for almost 15 years now...

Voice chat really changes everything in here, I've said some pretty off the cuff things and mad moments that will remain exclusive to those present
