What is preventing you from organising that again?

I'm still having LAN parties at +30. The only thing that changed is the frequency and the games.

We are really into Pummel Party at the moment.

Friends don't want to, making new friends isn't easy for some of us

Yep, two on second shift. Another on regular but everyone got families and kids with little time.

Rare is the day when we get everyone together and it mostly just ends up drinking and doing some bullshit like who's the most similar to each character on The Man From Earth but can't decide so have to assign an alt for everyone and pull up a spreadsheet lol.

After a couple games of Um, Actually.

And even then, that was only 3 people out of the old group of ~10. Lost half of them to republicans and their dumb shit from being young turning into dumb shit as adults lol.

We do too. Now it's catered with delicious smoked meats and kegs of beer instead of frozen pizza and mountain dew.
