@NaviAndMii I am afraid that I will have to pull out from our Rocket League gaming night.
Enjoy folks!

You should be able to filter games based on their rating as well as platform.

@Fafounet No probs buddy - catch you next time!

@Mintendo @Jbs-Dad @Lroy Might be just the four of us for this evening's Rocket League session then - still, enough for a mini tournament and some 2v2's - could shake things up by throwing the odd game of hoops or something in to the mix, as well

@electrolite77 @SuperJoon @Chris77 (or any one else!) - feel free to join us if you'd like I'll post the details down below

Just thought I'd get the ball rolling for the return of our Rocket League event on Thursday!

This week, to celebrate the launch of the newly released game update, we'll kick things off with a special Salty Shores edition of our 1v1 Tournament - the NL Cup!🏆 _{(details below)}

🏆Tournament Details!🏆

Name: NL Cup
Password: 1987 (← the year that the first Street Fighter game released!)
Time: 8:35pm BST, Thursday
Venue: Salty Shores

_{Subscribe now for in-game updates - Registration (to take part) will open at approximately 8:20pm BST on Thursday!}

..then we'll party up and jump in to a Private Lobby for some fun and frantic team matches!

I'll also be floating around in the #general-chat room of our Discord server - be sure to join me there for a chit-chat in between games!

If you have any questions or requests for the evening, feel free to give me a shout!

Otherwise, catch you all on Thursday! ⚽️🚗🚀🔥 Cheers!

@NaviAndMii As both my kids are feeling under the weather still, they have actually both gone down to bed earlier tonight. How long they stay asleep who knows.

But anyway, I'm actually heading online now. Was just gonna kill some time in PINBALL FX. We have a challenge going on this week on the SON OF ZEUS table. Is that the right name @oorwullie ?

Let me know if you want me to jump on ROCKET LEAGUE any earlier for some pre-games night ranked doubles.

@Mintendo
Thanks

Not show these multiplatform games still, but absolutely better than nothing.

@NaviAndMii

Thanks for the reminder chief. However I can't make it tonight. Combo of poorly baby/lack of sleep with tomorrow means an early night. Have a good one everyone.

@NaviAndMii afraid I can't make tonight. Have a blast, back on line next week.

@electrolite77 @Chris77 No probs guys - hopefully catch you both next time! (..and hope your little one feels better soon, @electrolite! )

@Lroy Sorry, didn't see your message! I was just on having a little practice myself - I'll hop back on in a few mins and we could perhaps squeeze a few in Meanwhile, I'll pop in to the Discord general-chat (hopefully we won't run in to any issues, but I can keep you all 'in the loop' there if we do )

@Mips Welcome aboard! I plan on playing quite a bit of Mario Tennis. My FC is in my signature so send a friend request if you wish. @Lroy Yes I'm in for Street Fighter Monday. I think that when you start a lobby, you can pick which of the 4 games are active/inactive and it defaults to all 4 as active so maybe it chooses randomly? Or like you said just picking one and playing for 30 minutes then switching to a new game is also an option. I've been meaning to try the other games, but 3rd Strike is so good that's all I've been playing from the collection. I even started 6-0 in ranked matches, although I think I can thank my opponents and their weak internet connection for that haha! Fast fighters like Chun Li are great for beating up laggy players!

@Lroy @OorWullie could you please confirm the details of the above challenge or where I can find them? Interested to participate as I enjoy Pinball FX quite a bit

@Fafounet Here you go. Quoting @Oorwullie from the Arcade Weekly High-Score Challenge Thread:

"Just opened a new Pinball FX3 tournament. The table is Son of Zeus and rules are same as before,5 minutes table time.
Mr Mustard
Password - NLife2018"

You need to boot up PINBALL FX 3. Go to tournaments and filter created by friends. Then you should see it on the left side of screen. Select it and then add the password above. See you on the leaderboard

@Lroy Thanks a million. Will give it a go!

I had to order my Pokken controller, don't know how much have to wait so i do not play SF until then. Stay tuned ;P

Just wanted to thank @NaviandMii @Jbs-Dad and @Mintendo for the games of ROCKET LEAGUE last night. 2v2s worked well and congrats to @Mintendo for winning the Cup 👏

@Lroy great games all round thanks guys.

@Lroy @NaviAndMii @Jbs-Dad
Thanks for playing, it was good fun!

@Lroy @Mintendo @Jbs-Dad

Yeah, thanks guys - was a lot of fun!

Congrats to @Mintendo for winning the special Salty Shores edition of the NL Cup!🏆 (..and, with 11 goals in 2 matches, finishing as the tournaments Top Goalscorer!⚽)

Quite enjoyed having a set arena for the Tournament ..might do that again in future, perhaps having a little vote beforehand and selecting the popular choice as our venue

The 2v2's we're great fun too - @Lroy and I even managed to win a 'David vs. Goliath' encounter against @Jbs-Dad and @Mintendo! ..redemption for our early exits in the tourney - haha! Good fun!

...and we had a pretty good run going in the 3v3 ranked matches afterwards too - quite a few wins (including the "What a Save!" comeback! ) - and an incredible, nail-biter of a match which went all the way to the 8th minute of overtime! (below)

...shame we eventually succumbed to a loss in that one - but was great to be involved in such an epic encounter!

Thanks again for a great evening guys! Look forward to doing it all again in a couple of weeks time! (..and if you fancy teaming up for some ranked matches or something in the meantime - just drop me an in-game party invite, or post in the #general-chat of the Discord channel and I'm sure that we can scramble something together!)

Cheers! ⚽️🚗🚀🔥

EDIT: Just realised that this is the 2000th post on the Adult Switch Gamers thread! What a milestone!

Hooray!

@NaviAndMii Where's Save/Goal of the Week. Slacking 😜

@Lroy Haha! I'll have to try to start using the in-game 'Save Replay' function to get some nice 'director-style' replays of the best goals and saves of the evening... **takes mental note!** (..for saves especially - with no instant replays for those, sometimes the capture doesn't do them justice)

Certainly had a few great goals last night though - this crazy one by your good self sent my jaw dropping to the floor!

...but I think that the official Goal of the Week⚽️ should surely go to @Jbs-Dad for this effort - scoring an equalising goal with just 5 seconds on the clock, then following it up with a 'buzzer-beater' winner straight from kick-off! !!!

What a turnaround - what a goal - what a player!

Haha! Great evening!

@NaviAndMii Ha! Ha! Just pulling your leg as you are a superb host, meticulous. Great clips 👏
