Just finished a two-player session of The Blackout Club with Neb. The game's in Early Access, and it shows in various ways; it's kinda janky and mission design still needs a lot of polish. Also, the game relies a bit too much on mission markers, when the game could communicate where things are in more interesting ways. At the same time, it's cool to see more stealthy gameplay in a coop game, and even with all the jankiness the game is very atmospheric. There is also an interesting game mechanic at play where you need to close your eyes to see one particular opponent, but then you don't see anything else.
Not sure when I'll next have some time to play this (perhaps before an Arma session?), but it'd be cool to try it out with more people. Ideally we'd have to tweak the voice chat, though; I barely heard Neb while apparently I was very, very loud at his end. It definitely added to the mounting tension. :p
P.S.: Just after finishing, my computer crashed, telling me on reboot that my CPU was overheating. Not sure whether to blame the game, but it's not something I've had happen before.

Can't make it today, have something going on today that requires most of my attention.

Sending out the coop signal: would any of the Saturday gang be up for an hour or two of Minecraft this coming Saturday at the usual Arma time? I have to say that I've not played more than one or two hours, so I don't know anything about collaborative play, nor am I particularly good at the game (I can make swords, shovels and picks, but that's about it), but it might be fun to meet in-game and spend some time faffing about.

Sure thing!

Very good! Already looking forward to that.

Sure why not. The only one I spent time on was deth's server. A lot of that was everyone building their own houses & towns, as it was long term.
But a good part of it was going adventuring together in a canyon or down in caves or whatever they have going these days and screwing around.
That's the kind of thing we can do for something like this.

I would also be up for this but I'll have to find my account which is under an old email I dont use anymore.

Do you guys have the Windows 10 version or the Java one? (I have the former.) Apparently there’s no crossplay between the two versions.

I have the java version, so I guess that counts me out.
