Hello I'm 22 and trying to expand my range of friends but I'm an introverted extrovert (aka I'm quite social but also a shut in loll) and I really love video games, especially PS5 games. I'm also a horror fan and into arts and crafts but nothing is more fun to me than locking into a game. I largely enjoy Smite, Monster Hunter, final fantasy, survival games, horror games and whatever looks interesting. I'm open to trying new things like DnD which I've never played before but bought the newest player guide book recently to learn... aaaand I love competitive games... anywhere a guy like Mr can go to meet new fun, interesting people of similar interest in calgary? I see board game places alot but I'm not loaded on board games so my experience is newish.
Hi. 34. Used to play cs:s and hit up the local lan touraments 2005-2012 and did really well. Moved away and recently moved back. Playing mostly ps5 atm but looking to build in PC in the coming weeks as well.
Anyways. Curious to see what calgarys gaming scene is like now <.<.
Thanks bunches!
Hi! I'm not sure if this is an appropriate place to post this, but my fiance (27M) and I (24F) are looking to move somewhere in Calgary and we're having trouble finding an appropriate place with roommates that we'll get along with. We are both total nerds, we've played video games our entire lives (I play WoW, Overwatch, R6 Siege, etc., he likes League and similar things) and we've avid anime watchers and computer nerds. We're looking to move in somewhere with a roommate who has similar interests. So far, every option online has been renting a bedroom in a house with non-English speakers and we really just want to find somewhere comfortable and safe for us. We are LGBT friendly, 420 friendly, and pet friendly (I have one friendly, non-destructive, spayed female cat who would need to be welcome). We have a temporary place lined up so we don't need something immediately but within the next 3-6 months would be amazing.
For some more info about us, I work from home online running paid D&D games and I also work for a game testing studio based out of South Korea. He works for a small business that sells BBQ/grilling supplies. So he would be out of the house most days while I would usually be home. We are open to people who also have pets, provided that the animal does well with other pets, primarily cats because my kitty is the most important thing in the world to me. Because I work from home, and we're avid VR users, we would need a decently large private space, preferably a master bedroom or a basement suite. We are perfectly happy with sharing living room/kitchen/laundry and I will often cook and clean throughout the day. Due to my various illnesses I am unable to work full time at an in-person location so although I make some money my fiance makes the majority of it, meaning our income is relatively low. Everything available that is ideal for us is over $1500 which is just out of budget for the two of us, so we'd be happy to either move in with someone who has an existing home or find someone who wants to pick a place to rent with us. Due to my fiance's commute to work, we would need to be somewhere in the NE or NW, though SE is okay as long as it isn't incredibly far south.
Please let me know if you or someone you know might be interested! We would love to live with someone we can game and watch movies/shows with who loves animals and will treat my cat like the princess she is. If this isn't allowed here then I apologize mods! If anyone could direct me to the best place to look for this I would love to hear it.
I'm a board gamer, but a much bigger ps5 gamer. I also love pokemon tcg. I'm 31 from calgary, looking for a calgary buddy to game with. And couples board game nights, it's something I've always wanted to do.
Nothing TOO serious, just looking for regular Overwatch players to form a casual team. Early evening hours? 18+ only
Im planning to buy a new desktop/cpu. I know memory express is a popular choice here in calgary but do we have a different option?

Hello everyone,
I'm reaching out to gauge interest and gather ideas or advice regarding a concept I'm exploring. I manage a large restaurant and bar with an ideal setup: a spacious stage, ample seating, a separate bar area, and a welcoming lobby for mingling, networking, and relaxing. Currently, we're open only on Fridays and Saturdays, and I've been tasked with brainstorming unique ways to utilize our venue. As a fellow gaming enthusiast, hosting a video game tournament was one of my initial ideas.
Before diving into details, I'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions. Please feel free to share any ideas or opinions you have!
Cheers and thanks in advance!
Hoping to find some friendly people into games like minecraft, fortnite, cod zombies, terraria etc, I have both Xbox and Playstation so no restrictions there, I hope to hear from some of you, no need to comment just dm

Hello!
I just moved back to Calgary (I'm from here) after living abroad for a decade, and was wondering if there were any Tetris gamers? I main Tetrio, a competitive 1-vs-1 ranking Tetris game, and would love to play and hang out with others (if there are meet ups etc.) to practice! Would love to learn and practice more openers, etc. and I know there are a few scattered around I've met online, but would be super cool if there were meetups and things like that!
Would individuals rather game together or game alone?
Anyone in the Calgary area also play Bemani Games? I got a SDVX controller (svre9 modded with f2+ knobs), iidx con (stock pheonixwan), guitarfreaks con (gitaller), and a DDR pad (l-tek).
Mostly play SDVX I'm 10 dan, not even 1st Dan in the other games lol.
Travelled to Seattle last summer and spent 8 hours a day for 3 days straight in the arcade and burnt my self out of the game for 6 months, starting to get back into it.
Wondering if there's a community around here for this kinda stuff so I don't gotta keep flying out to the states for meetups.
Hey! I'm pulling together a corporate Mario Kart event for the IT group of my company. I have a few people in the company that have agreed to lend their consoles for shared use but could use 6 more to round it out. I've called quite a few places in Calgary to see if anyone does rentals but it's looking pretty bleak.
Any suggestions for where to ask about Nintendo Switch rentals in Calgary? I'm looking for 8 consoles total. Happy to rent from an individual or group at this point.
Thanks!
I’m mostly looking for things that have to do with 2D fighters (sf6, ggst, uni2, etc.)
Just looking for friends in Calgary. I like playing Gran Turismo 7 or Warzone. But open to play anything really. Professional 37 year old male, just don't know many people in the city. Gaming really doesn't promote interacting with new people. Cheers
dm me
not in a residence, in a datacenter with 40gbps of transit redundant power and routing. primarily gauging interest but if there is some i could setup a panel do colo etc depending on what the people want
Paizo Organized Play is officially back!
To kick things off, we will be playing our first Starfinder Society (SFS) game this Thursday May 4th at 6pm-10pm over at The Sentry Box. It's a brilliant way to celebrate Star Wars Day too!
Pathfinder Society (PFS) games will start up in Mid-May after we figure out who will be GMing.
With that said, please head over to our main Warhorn event page, Calgary Paizo Organized Play, to sign up for games you're interested in playing! To keep things easy, this Warhorn page will have both Starfinder and Pathfinder games listed. I encourage anyone who is interested in playing to sign up! You don't need to have a character ready to go since we'll have pregenerated characters available at all PFS and SFS games!
Lastly, you will want to join our Discord which will be used for as our main hub for organizing games. We will also use it as a place to chat all things Starfinder and Pathfinder!
