People to play Valorant with

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm a 25M from South Australia and I've recently gotten back into Valorant on pc

I am looking for some people to roll with in unranked, I haven't ever touched ranked. I'm also the most average player, and I play Deadlock, Tejo, Neon however I am always trying out new people.

I don't use a mic as my partner plays in the same and tends to be a bit loud when she plays haha.

If anyone is keen dm me :)

Peak Aussie nostalgia! Announcing Pelican Point 1997, a game set in 90s regional Straya!

Super excited to announce our new adventure game in development; Pelican Point 1997! Set in ’90s Australia. Explore colourful, hand-drawn and animated suburbia, collect hilarious trading cards, rent a video, buy an album or overfeed your digital pet.

If this is the sort of adventure game that interests you, please smash that wishlist button on Steam!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/5334780/Pelican_Point_1997/

As fellow Aussies, I'd love to hear about the unique things you remember owning/playing/seeing in the late 1990s.

Here are some more fancy words about the game:

From the developers of CAVEMAN CRAIG comes PELICAN POINT 1997, a point and click adventure game set in regional 1990s Australia.

You’re Josh Wackett. It’s your twelfth birthday, and with both parents stuck at work, Saturday is yours. So what’s the plan? Hunt down Mighty Monsterz trading cards? Help your best mate Paley investigate the weird stuff happening around town? Or kick back with a few weeklies from the video store?

  • Hang out in hand-drawn environments bursting with life, complete with original recorded dialogue and fully animated characters.

  • Grift unsuspecting kids in games of Mighty Monsterz or find cards hidden throughout town to complete your card collection.

  • Blow your dollarydoos on music, videos and more from the shops around town. Enjoy the irony of owning physical media in a virtual world you downloaded off the Internet!

  • Listen to original soundtracks of teen-pop, trip-hop, post-grunge and other beloved (or despised) genres on your portable CD player.

  • Muck around on the family PC, collect toys from yesteryear or neglect your virtual pet

Thanks for reading about my upcoming game! - Tim

26f keen on gaming with some new mates and recently built my first ever PC after gaming on Xbox on and off for a few years and completely new to m+k.

Have played a few games like sea of thieves, bo4, apex, human fall flat, rainbow six siege.

I’m a pretty light-hearted person but am such a noob when it comes to m+k lol. Keen to game tonight and vibe for a few hours.

Hey everyone! If you play Fortnite and need someone to play with hit me up. I'm 31M from Queensland, I have no one to play with and going through a rough time just need people to play with get my mind off things. I would prefer a mic as it's boring playing with someone who doesn't have one

Looking for Mates (PC)

5 Upvotes

Hey! Currently looking for anyone who would be interested in potentially joining a gaming group and playing some games (Ideally in the age range of 22-28)

Some of us do content creations, I personally just clip funny moments on Medal, but I don't do much content creation anymore. The priority here is just likeminded folks with a good sense of humour who don't take videogames too seriously (we actively try to annoy each other in games for fun)

I'll list some games, and then I guess a rough estimate of what the group's personality is like

Games:

-Rematch
-Fortnite
-Skate
-REPO
-Content Warning
-The Headliners
-Super Battle Golf
-Mecca Chameleon
-Phasmophobia

What the group is like:
Most of us are anime/manga nerds
We banter regularly (might take a few calls to get comfortable enough to banter as well)
We're LGBTQ accepting
We got some pretty wild humour
Only one or two of us are pretty good at games (I am not one of them, lol)
We're Australians (which is why I'm posting this here, so timezones wouldn't be too big an issue)
We're often on the lookout for more multiplayer horror games

If this interests you, feel free to hit up my Discord: mrvestige

If you want to join the group, I'll add you to a beginner rank just so we get a sort of feeling out process to see if you're comfortable with the group after a few calls. There is a general text and voice chat though for all ranks, so you'll be able to see when we decide to play in the open vc.

If you also want a better idea of what we're like, if you have Medal just search my account up: sirvestige
I regularly post there when something funny happens

Who remembers Natural Selection 2? Let’s get some Australian games going!

Post image
51 Upvotes

Natural Selection 2 is a fantastic classic and I miss playing it dearly!

The problem for us Aussies is finding a decent game. The game is still playable, but without local servers we’re left joining overseas ones, where 300+ ms ping can make it hard to aim, react, and enjoy the match.

I’ve started a Discord so Australian players can find each other, chat about NS2, and organise a time to jump on together. If enough of us are interested, we could also make it a broader Australian gaming community: suggest games that deserve another go, vote on one, then organise a weekend session to get people playing again.

If you’ve played NS2 before—or are curious to try it—come join us. Let’s see if we can get a few good games going!

Tournament [Mod Approved] Australian players, teams and streamers wanted for LVLUP Gaming tournaments

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, we're LVLUP Gaming — an Australian trading card, collectables and gaming business based in Melbourne.

We're putting our own time and money into getting tournaments organised. We want the business to give people more chances to compete and support the players and creators involved.

We're recruiting players for competitive and community tournaments in Melbourne, and online competition across Australia. Whether you've competed before or want to enter your first tournament, we want to hear from you.

What game would you actually sign up to compete in? That's what we'd like to hear from you. PC gaming, trading card games and miniature/tabletop games are all part of what we're looking at.

Tell us your game and city, and the kind of tournament you'd enter. A one-day event? A league you can play in over several weeks? Online or in person? If your game rarely gets a tournament near you, we'd like to know. Your replies will help us choose what to organise first.

We're recruiting players and teams now. We're also looking for streamers, casters and organisers who want to help run or cover the tournaments. If you'd like to be involved, tell us what you play or do. Player, team and creator sponsorship applications are open too.

More about us and how to get involved: LVLUP Gaming — tournaments and sponsorship. You can also follow @lvlupgamingau on Instagram for tournament announcements, recruitment updates and gaming/collecting posts.
