From Free Video Game Meetup (PC Provided)

Hi everyone. My name is Calem and Iโ€™m hosting a free video game party (pc provided) This is my last ditched effort to make friends, I have no social circle or people I consider to a close best bro. Iโ€™m actually hurting quite a lot not having a best friend to talk to in my personal life Could you make a little time In your scheduleโ€ฆ. please for me? So Iโ€™m hosting an event to get to know new people and hopefully welcome them into my life as a new connection. I have prepared several games installed and ready to play You can bring your own laptop if you really want but I donโ€™t recommend it Some of the games are riddled with Trojan/viruses so I keep them on old laptops ready to play isolated. Games prepared Halo Cod1 Cs1.6 Cs source Generals Mohaa Bf1942 Quake3 Ut1 Killing floor1 Flatout2 Savage Warcraft 3 StarCraft 1
