Remembering Game Nights

Legolas_Katarn had a really neat question about game nights in the Hot Seat forum discussion. I never want to lose my game night favorites, so I've mirrored it in a blog. ;) Thanks for making me remember Legolas!

"What Gamespot Game Night did you have the most fun playing in or watching?"

Gosh, that's really difficult to answer. I have had way too much fun when I'm gaming. I'll cheat and say the most memorable ones rather than mentioning just one.

- Quake 1 15th anniversary game night. Some of you played for the first time! Seeing your responses to the trivia was also pretty neat, some found out about how machinima got their name and stuff! <3
- Quakelive game nights, ALL OF THEM BECAUSE PEOPLE GOT OWNED, well most did by my Rocket Launcher
- Portal Kombat game night
- I'm not too skilled with Mortal Kombat but I held my own quite good that night!
- Gears of War 3 game night
- not too many showed up but I really enjoyed playing Beast mode.
- Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 game nights! Lots of fun hanging with Game night regulars!
- Red Dead Redemption game night!
I had a chance to get a variety of editors for that one! But, there was another game night the following week where some GameSpot members (you know who you are) tried to get a bounty achievement. We spent so many hours and lots of failures for some, but oh so much fun!
- Half-life game night - I enjoyed fragging McShea that night. He needs to play more shooters!
- Assassin's Creed brotherhood game night. We all were in the same voice chat so it was hilarious taunting each other when we weren't on the same teams!
- Minecraft game night
hosted by Sophia was also cool; I liked her screenshot collection for that one.
- Burnout Paradise game night
which was pretty fun. And, from telling people I wanted to get more billboards, I made one wacky billboard song! "Where are you my billboard... where are you MY BILLBOARD!"
- Kind of game night related, but more about playing games with staff internally or attending game event parties.
Some of my favorite memories involved Rock Band! Here's one of the memorable ones caught on film. I'm a huge fan of singing so naturally, hearing people I know sing is an event itself.... was amazing. I have yet to upload some videos of staff singing at some point.

Now that you know mine, what is your favorite game night on GameSpot?
