I've gotta say, that new Gunslingers banner is damn-well fantastic.

Thank you! :D

As we do some last minute laundry before the work week starts on Monday, here are some exciting updates taking place within the Gunslingers:

The Gunslingers is OVER 6,000 Members Strong! An incredible milestone happened this week. Within a few months shy over our six year anniversary as a gaming group, the Gunslingers gained our 6,000th member. We have had over two thousand fellow parent and adult gamers join our posse since this time last year. I sincerely thank everyone for their continued support in making us the #1 home for gamers looking for a casual gaming experience!

Google Documents Now Supported in GS Forums! We have many members interested in putting together events and features for their fellow gamers. To encourage said creativity, we have installed the ability for any registered member to embed Google documents they have made in forum posts by merely using "[googledoc]" tags. Enjoy!

Two New Games Added to GS Arcade! One of the perks of being a Gunslinger member is getting access to our retro-style custom arcade in which we routinely install new titles. Of recent, we have added "De-Animator," a title based on Lovecraft's work, and "Who Wants to be a Millionaire," which is based on the television game show of the same name. Can you earn the highscore? Is that your final answer?

The GS Voice Chat Channel is Live! In addition to your in-game chat options, the Gunslingers also have a Raidcall channel that all members are welcome to use. The channel is aptly entitled "Gunslinger Gaming." It's free. It's extremely light on resources. And it is very easy to set up!

Thank you for taking the time to read the most recent Gunslinger updates. If you are a fellow mature, casual gamer looking for a gaming experience away from the typical drama, you are welcome to join us in the fun!

I know what you are thinking. You read the phrase "...clan for adults" in the title of this topic, but what does that mean? How are you supposed to know if we are the gaming group for you?

Let's throw out some pop cultural references and see if they seem familiar.

If you not only remember the character Ernest P. Worrell, but you remember him in soda commercials...

If you, without further hints, knew what movie the line, "This is Walter! AHHHH!" is from...

If you thought, regardless of the children crying, White Lion probably didn't have the answer to world peace...

...you'll fit right in with the Gunslingers! :)

Seriously, though. The Gunslingers is the perfect oasis for the busy yet laid-back older gamer looking for a group that treats gaming like hanging out with a group of drinking buddies.

It happened again. Another year passed with the Gunslingers clan still in operation. Another year passed with a record amount of new faces joining what was once humble posse of a dirty dozen. Another year passed with all of us traveling together to new games for new experiences. Another year passed, and the month of June 2013 marks the six-year anniversary of the Gunslingers!

Congratulations! I hope all of you feel as proud as I am for what we have accomplished. From this time last year, we have seen our group for mature, casual gamers expand by 2,000 more members, bumping up our roster to 6,000 members in just six years. Such growth and continued success could not be possible without the ever inviting nature of you. It has always been incredibly important that we all chipped in and added ourselves to the Master Lists, sent out invites, posted greetings in response to new members' introductions, and displayed eagerness to help each other out. Thank you.

Acknowledgement must be given to the GS Leaders. They donate their time to help organize, wrangle issues, and perform group updating at an unmatched pace. If it was not for them and their collective talents, we would not be here today celebrating such a milestone. To the GS Leaders present and past, thank you.

Who knows what the future brings for the Gunslingers. With the next generation of platforms on their way, there is plenty of new territory to explore. And I hope all of you continue to explore as Gunslingers.

There are events set up throughout June to help bring us together to celebrate our sixth anniversary, and they are listed below:

Flashback Weekend - During the weekend of June 15th, the GS Forums will be converted back to how it looked in 2009. Brace yourself. ;)
Anniversary Banner - A special anniversary version of the GS Forum's banner has been added.
Member Spotlight - June's Member Spotlight features a member, GS*Dick Lazer, who has been with us since July, 2009.
Frosty Pint Raffle - Enter for a chance to win an actual Gunslinger Frosty Pint mug.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Tournament - A pool party that goes terribly wrong!
And More to Be Announced!

Today is the last day of our 6 Year Anniversary month, and there are plenty of exciting updates to share with the rest of you! Let's get to it!

-------------------------------------------------

The Gunslinger Gaming Podcast

gunslinger_gaming_podcast.jpg


Considering how much we all like to talk about gaming, it should come as no surprise that we now have own official Gunslinger Gaming Podcast!

The theme of our podcast reflects how we approach GS in general. Having some drinks, having some laughs, and occasionally saying something that makes each other think. But, always, the common thread that weaves through the experience is our love for gaming.
Relevant Link: GunslingerGaming.com • View topic - Gunslinger Gaming Podcast

-------------------------------------------------

Site & Industry News Feeds - Now, a commutative feed pulling from our forum's, blog's, and podcast's RSS scrolls vertically on the left corner of each of our site pages. It is a great way to get a preview and quickly linked to all of the most recent activities at GS.

Additionally, the Chat Plus page features an optional feature entitled "Industry News." When selected from the "Pick a Feature" drop-down menu, you will get a scrolling feed of all the newest articles published on IGN, Gamespot, GameTrailers, Kotaku, and Joystiq. It makes catching up on the latest gaming news while chatting with fellow GSers all the easier!
Relevant Link: GS Chat - Game Specific

-------------------------------------------------

YourGamerCards Support - People like to use the auto-generated signature banners from YourGamerCards, so we figured that we should make it even easier to use them in our group's forums. I have scripted in the BBCode necessary to make it possible to have your auto-generated banner show up in your posts and signatures by simply typing your gamer name within the "gamercard" tags.
Relevant Link: GunslingerGaming.com • View topic - GamerCards Now Supported!

-------------------------------------------------

Anniversary Raffles Coming to a Close - We were giving away a few items in spirit of our 6 Year Anniversary celebration at the Gunslingers. Raffles for a digital game download and access to a closed BETA both end at midnight tonight (Pacific Time).

Also, there are only eight more days left in the Frosty Pints Mug Raffle! Yes, we enjoy brews while gaming so much that we are giving away a customized Gunslinger Gaming beer stein. This raffle end on June 8th.

If you haven't entered yourself in for a chance to win in any of these raffles, time is quickly running out!

GS Arcade Tournament

Today is the last day to attempt to hold the highscore in the cowboy themed arcade game, "Western Shoot." The winner will have their title in the GS Forums converted to "2013 Arcade Champion." It is a classic arcade style shooter...but without the need for quarters. ;)

By sheer coincidence two Gunslinger members have put together separate "flashback" events for this coming weekend. There are plenty of fond memories found amongst the Mario Kart Wii and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (Reflex) days, so let's make it official!

Current and Future Gunslingers!

I know it has been some time since this thread has gotten attention, but that is because I am in a middle of a big move. The good news is that the Gunslingers clan is just as active as ever. Why? Well, because our entire group is composed of folks who juggle real life with our love of gaming. It is amazing how well things work when everyone can relate!

Anyway, here are some recent, general updates taking place within the Gunslingers that you all may be interested in:

Member Spotlight - The GS clan is all about the members, which is why we periodically pick an active member at random to publish an interview in our blog. September's edition features our sci-fi loving members, GS*Gaz_Bot! Find out more about his thirst for science fiction, tattoos, and microbrews: http://gunslingergaming.com/wordpress/?p=566

Official Gunslingers Twitch.tv Channel - We have been featuring the live streaming channels of GS members for some time. Now, we have created an official Gunslinger Gaming channel in which all interested members can broadcast from...creating a channel composed of gaming content from around the world!

Football Season Tribute - American pro and college level football has begun and, as a tribute, we have added a football highscore game to our custom and ever growing Gunslinger Arcade! It is a great way to kill some time (preferably while the boss isn't looking) when we can't be in-game!

Gunslinger Gaming Podcast - If you haven't had a chance to listen to Episode Six of our hilarious podcast, take a listen! It is like other gaming podcasts...but with beer.

New Memberships Keep Coming! - Normally, the gaming community doesn't go into overdrive until the Fall and Winter times of the year. That may be true, but people keep signing up with the Gunslingers in the meantime! We are proud to provide an oasis for 129 new members during the month of August! Welcome aboard and thank you all for joining!

If you have read the above and our gaming group sounds like your type of brew, you are invited to join the Gunslingers! Finally, there is a place exclusively for older, casual gamers. Unite!

There has a been a tradition at the Gunslingers that have been visited for some time. I mean, of course, of New Member Shout-Outs. From time to time, it is important to let all our new members, which GS receives on a daily basis, know that we appreciate their willingness to sign up with the Gunslingers and make their gaming experience exclusively with fellow older gamers.

Some incredible milestones occurred lately, Gunslingers, and we all should be proud of them!

First, the overall Gunslingers clan is officially over 7,000 registered members strong! The days of believing that gaming is just for kids and the overtly competitive are long, long gone.

Second, we gained 134 new members in just the first seven days of October! That is a new record! To everyone who can count themselves among that extraordinary number, welcome aboard and thank you for joining! To every single other member, thank you for making the Gunslingers a place so inviting and helpful that our group attracts so many fellow mature, casual gamers!

Third, one of the said new members is a professional musician. GS*Brewski has been kind enough to add six of his songs to the Gunslinger Gaming Jukebox! If you haven't heard of our Jukebox, it is our on-site playlist comprised exclusively by music created by fellow Gunslinger members! To find out more about his and other members' music, check out this announcement: GunslingerGaming.com • View topic - Songs by GS*Brewski Added to Gunslinger Jukebox!

If you are a fellow adult who is still on the fence about whether or not to join the most active group for older gamers, I invite you to take a look around our group's homebase. Nearly all of the content is public because we have nothing to hide. Read how our members treat each other. Read how they are just like you: a person who just wants to have a good, uncomplicated time gaming with folks his/her own age. If you like what you see, join us! It's that simple!

I have some exciting Gunslingers updates to share with the rest of you! Yes, that does mean there will be a little rambling involved, but, hey, you are reading messages by a group for older gamers. We like to ramble and tell tales of blowing on cartridges that you have already heard a thousand times before. ;)

The Amazing Influx of Members Continues! - The second week of October (8th to the 14th) brought one hundred and ten new members in the Gunslingers! Incredible! Thank you all for joining the Gunslingers and welcome aboard!

New Games in the Gunslinger Gaming Arcade! - Two Chess games have been installed in our arcade, and, to keep with our full month celebration of Halloween, "Castlevania - The Blood Way" has also been added. When the boss isn't working or you are waiting for your system to update, take a shot at the high scores!

October is Halloween Month! - Halloween has always been a favorite time of the year for the Gunslingers, and we are getting in the macabre spirit in the following ways:

*Site Images - You will notice that site banners, top banners, and background images have been given a Halloween twist throughout all the GS website pages. We have also changed the Facebook group image!

*Halloween Avatars! - We have a whole Halloween themed image gallery already installed in the forums for use as your avatar! Simply visit your User Control Panel, select "Edit Avatar" from your "Profile" Tab, and click on "Display Gallery." Simply pick an avatar you like from the Halloween gallery or upload your own. Either way, let's get in the Halloween spirit!

*Mystery Science Theater 3000 Invades GS Theater! - In case you haven't seen it, we have a fun Gunslinger Gaming Theater page full of cheesy horror and science fiction movies marked as public domain. Throughout the month of October, Mystery Science Theater 3000 versions of 'classic' B-movies will be added to the GS Theater every week!

*Halloween Arcade Games! - Every week in October, a new Halloween-themed game will be installed in our custom Gunslinger Gaming Arcade!

*Halloween Smilies! - If there is any time to make liberal use of morbid smilies in your posts and signatures, this is the month to do it!

We have a few surprises as well, but let's save those for another day. If you are a mature, casual gamer looking for people that treat their gaming time (read: down time from work, college, taking care of the kids, or all of the above), you will find no better oasis than the Gunslingers! Come, check us out. If you like what you see, join up!

There are some you reading our recruiting thread for the first time and wonder, "'Clan for Adults?' What does that mean? Will their members be around my own age?"

Those are good questions. There are certainly different ways to view a claim that a gaming group is mature or for older gamers. So, let's take a snapshot of the Gunslingers community. Today, October 25th, the following members are celebrating birthdays. Their ages are listed next to their GS* username:
Beerhound; 44
Twyst3dJok3r; 42
JOKER X118; 42
carnysnrubes; 35
Uno; 35
Jigondalow; 34
MandatoryMadness; 31

First of all, happy birthday, guys! Their average age is 37.6. When you are in a gaming group that promotes weekend get-togethers called Frosty Pints, that is the sort of demographic one can expect. We proudly keep the Gunslinger experience exclusively for older gamers, and you are invited to join the party!

The Wii U version of Call of Duty: Ghosts is finally out! Whoa-hoo!

If you are a fellow Nintendo fan old enough to either cut his/her first-person-playing teeth on the N64's Goldeneye or NES's Operation Wolf, join the Wii U Gunslingers!

The Gunslingers clan is the largest and most active group for older Nintendo fans, and we have had virtual boots on the ground for Call of Duty: Ghosts since the very first hour of the game's release. We also have a long tradition of providing a full-fledged mature, casual clan experience for COD playing Nintendo console owners that date back to the release of Call of Duty: Reflex!

Grab a pint and point the Wiimote with exclusively fellow adults today!
