Do you know who our cousins are?

[Quaffer]

So I'm at adult Sunday school today, I kid you not, and I bring up the topic of online gaming. I'm laying it out to the parents. Bang bang shoot em up not bad. Cussing and disrespect bad. So of course I bring up EdgeGamers as a place people can play for pc on line gaming.

Wait for it...

Console gaming. Is there a group like us out there for the console boxes? PSP, Nintendo, whatever.

I'd like to know who and where they are. I'm not expecting EdgeGamers to branch out in that direction. It might be nice if we found out who are cousins are. Maybe even post a link.

Thank you from parents everywhere for your kind assistance.

Interesting.

I don't know about official groups, but if your local church or non-religious organization has groups that work with youth, many of the (read "better") volunteers who really care about connecting with students will have XBox gamertags, PSN names, DS...things, and should be more than willing to share them with students.

Basically what I'm trying to say is a concerned parent or students wanting positive influences in their console/handheld gaming should be able to fill their friends list with local people who will keep a friendly environment for said students while they play.

That's what I think off the top of my head. I am not aware of any console communities, so if anyone else finds them let me know too!

Well, the lack of dedicated servers makes it very hard for a clan to work on Consoles, especially ones who follow certain rules. Unless of course the whole party of players are the members.

PS3 gaming clan. I ran with them for a while. They run Resistance, MAG, and a few others. Good bunch of guys, but.......they generally only take decent players.

but.......they generally only take decent players.

So that's why you just "ran with them", they discovered your true skill was in baking pretty cakes and not gaming. They should have just asked the DoDS division. We could have saved them the time and mental breakdowns.

That would be interesting to have a cousin clan that has the same respectful rules as eGO. Then I could get my 360 back out and start playing with them.

Basicly this, it's probably possible on one or two games but that's just about it in the end. If maybe a console came out that worked pretty much like a PC with all it's games working on dedi servers if they're multiplayer, then maybe. However at this moment in time it's unfortunately not feasible.

there used to be clans/guild service on xbox live but they got rid of it and it would be hard to monitor peoples actions on console versions of the clan since even if there was a member cursing and using bad language you would have little to no proof of it, meaning people could represent us and then just completely disregard our rules and make us look bad

I see nothing wrong with baking pretty cakes. They are very tasty. I pitty the foo who doesn't like eating pretty cakes. As to skills of gaming.............it's all point of view..........

There are groups out there, but they usually have a lack of structure and rarely survive.

Didn't PlayStation 2 have dedicated servers, or something like it?
