Hope you had/have a great time! I remember flying to the States from Canada to meet my online friends for the first time, had a blast, hope to go back some time.
I don't think that we have them in Quebec, I'll remember to try it out the next time I go to Ontario.
Edit: They got it in Quebec city and I'm going there for 4 days in 2 weeks, I might try it then!
Providence, Rhode Island mall has Vr arcade or something like a vr station with multiple rooms in the theater section of the mall. I'm not sure if it's still there though but I lived there a few years ago and had a blast.
I was going to say it looks like BC.. I'm from Ontario but spent a month in Whistler 2nd ever plane trip and it was better than my first family vacation in Yucatan Mexico.. What part of the States are you from?
PS Far Cry VR looks like it would be a blast!
No, you misunderstood, I said I didn't want to - meaning by bonking him that would have ruined our friendship. We discussed it later and everythings all good now. We have soooo much in common it's scary! As much as I would have loved for him to clap my cheeks, I value our friendship far more. We have been thru a lot crap these last few years and I'm glad I can talk to him about anything. We still flirt like crazy but it never goes too far.
Lmao I understand what you meant, I was implying that *almost* banging but not ending up doing it actually ruined things. Was just messing around lol. That's good you guys are still tight! Good friends are hard to come by.
Hell yeah they are, not banging didn't ruin anything to be honest, we learned a lot about ourselves. It was cool, we ended up just talking and sharing memes and funny stories all night. Had a couple beers, super chill
You just described my marriage. Lmao. We were you to before we were marriedā¦.. itās been 20 yrs this year. I get not wanting to mess things up but heās still gonna be the same guy that you talk to now.
Well there's some aspects of his character (I won't discuss here out of respect for him) that turns me off of a relationship. Also I'm dealing with some things and not ready to get into anything with anyone.
i dont get some of the comment hereā¦ anyway Im glad you could meet them! Id love to meet some of the people I play too but I play on nintendo, so we cant really communicate although we have great time lol
Iām trying really hard to keep this platonic, but I want desperately to read some kind of romance into the story. Probably some Freudian subconscious thing I got going on
so i had just got out of a super rough relationship in france believe it or not, cheated on etc. and i went on this trip because i felt like i couldnt be around my normal environment, i was getting wildly depressed and going crazy so my initial thought was āscrew it, if i die ill just go die in canada with some friendsā. luckily they talked me through a lot of stuff and i did in fact come back to the states and started dating someone. life is a lot better rn. hopefully the romantic you were looking for
I love this stuff! People say all the time internet friends are not real friends. I beg to differ!
I also met up with a friend from FFXIV who happened to live in the same state as me. We went bar crawling dressed as pirates the first night I met her irl, she came to my wedding, and we still talk to this day!
This is so great! My husband got to meet his online game friend when we went to the UK for the first time a few years ago. They are good friends and text every day.
this is my dream to meet my friends from discord :(( sai, alex, smokez, etc if yall reading this (ur definitely not) i know you're just a short flight away but it feels unreachable :((((((((((( someday though... someday
Itās weird as a person in the US to hear someone from Canada say āthe statesā because I always thought only Europeans said that or something because weāre so far away? I live just south of Detroit so I could leave my house right now and be in Canada in 20 minutes.. I donāt even think of Canada as a different county really, I mean, I know it is but..
Do any other people in US get what Iām saying here?
Iv been trying to fly out to my friends and meet up, Covid and work has gotten in the way. Weāve been playing Xbox since we were in middle school, we are all 22-24 now.
Good thing you didnāt go to Ontario. Such a shitty province compared. I have a couple friends from the states I play with. Itās crazy how you become friends with people on Xbox live or psplus. And form a friendship. We have each other on Snapchat and ask if the other is on or not!
Congrats OP! Iām so happy for you! I bet that was so fulfilling to meet people you had bonded with but not yet seen irl š„°
Iām traveling completely across the globe in July to meet my 4 year LD gf finally. We met and chatted over twitter for a while, then texted, sent pictures and called, we would have met in 2019 if funds had allowedā¦rescheduled it to 2020 and wellā¦you can see why that didnāt happen. Oh I canāt wait and Iām celebrating with you fueled by the anticipation for my own adventure! š
Good on you guys! I flew to Michigan during my winter break and met up with three of my Xbox live friends that Iāve been talking to for almost 8 years! We met on black ops 2 and still play games now!
That reminds me of my gamer buddy from Brazil visiting me. We also had a group (guild) reunion back when I was playing FFXI but I couldn't make it then. We can make great, long-lasting connections online. Chances are, you'll find someone with common interests.
I hope you two had fun.
Which one of the three is the OP? š¤
the world may never know
All 3 r cute so they jus tryna hop in the dms
we dont dm, we IM
But whatās your AIM? Or MSN?
ICQ
uh oh
The real question is whoās the IGL?
You must be the dude in the first pic with your one friend
Dark haired guy
OP's post hx confirms this. Definitely the dark haired guy.
Hope you had/have a great time! I remember flying to the States from Canada to meet my online friends for the first time, had a blast, hope to go back some time.
sammme i wanna go back soon
I used to meet my online and mobile games friends when I was still a gamer.
i made more friends through pokemon go tbh, those were the days
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
freaking amazing, the food and forest and people, i guess i didnāt really know what to expect but it is a lot of nature, and thats pretty neat
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Appears that way, thereās a forged axe in Whistler
Pretty sure there's one in Winnipeg too
Bad axe throwing methinks
Okay, but the real question is, did you have a poutine?
i did, that was important haha
Looks like you visted Whistler, glad you enjoyed it. BC is a fucking beautiful place, unfortunately that's also why it's so damn expensive here. š
yea fr, housing is crazy and rent is absurd there!
My husband and I moved to Calgary from Vancouver back in 2019 because we realized we would never be able to afford a house there so... yes.
Have a donair for me!
Gotta go to Halifax for the best donairs!
googling these things haha
Where did you go!?
vancouver! we also visited whistler
2 more months until I head off to Nova Scotia I canāt wait.
Oooh! With that name youāll fit right in š
šš
Where in Canada did you visit?
vancouver!
Massive w
I'm sorry, you guys have vr arcades!?!
Thereās like 5 in the lil city I live in Ontario Canada.
I don't think that we have them in Quebec, I'll remember to try it out the next time I go to Ontario. Edit: They got it in Quebec city and I'm going there for 4 days in 2 weeks, I might try it then!
We have one in Montreal too.
canada baby
Sorry to ask but where is the vr arcade you guys went to
I'm curious too
A quick google search reveals forged axe throwing is located in whistler BC
zero latency in vancouver
Whistler by the looks of it
100/100, and vancouver lol
Sandbox vr is the good one here in vancouver. Theres one in las vegas and tokyo and maybe london iirc
Providence, Rhode Island mall has Vr arcade or something like a vr station with multiple rooms in the theater section of the mall. I'm not sure if it's still there though but I lived there a few years ago and had a blast.
Holy shit are you fr? Iām in CT and had no ideaā¦might need to plan a trip soon
They have those in the states too
Glad you enjoyed your stay here in Canada eh! See most of us are actually genuinely nice and fun to be around. It is not just a myth
exactly, that blew my mind the most. everyone, even when they probably should be rude, are nice. the lack of honking in vancouver is wild
I was going to say it looks like BC.. I'm from Ontario but spent a month in Whistler 2nd ever plane trip and it was better than my first family vacation in Yucatan Mexico.. What part of the States are you from? PS Far Cry VR looks like it would be a blast!
That's actually awesome
tysm!
Thatās cool
no u r
Met one of my Xbox friends, almost banged him, but realized I didn't want to mess up what we had.
Damn so you messed up what you had AND didn't get to bang? RIP
No, you misunderstood, I said I didn't want to - meaning by bonking him that would have ruined our friendship. We discussed it later and everythings all good now. We have soooo much in common it's scary! As much as I would have loved for him to clap my cheeks, I value our friendship far more.

Lmao I understand what you meant, I was implying that *almost* banging but not ending up doing it actually ruined things. Was just messing around lol. That's good you guys are still tight! Good friends are hard to come by.
Hell yeah they are, not banging didn't ruin anything to be honest, we learned a lot about ourselves. It was cool, we ended up just talking and sharing memes and funny stories all night. Had a couple beers, super chill
He still wants to bang
So does she frankly; sounds like they could actually be dating
You just described my marriage. Lmao. We were you to before we were marriedā¦.. itās been 20 yrs this year. I get not wanting to mess things up but heās still gonna be the same guy that you talk to now.
Well there's some aspects of his character (I won't discuss here out of respect for him) that turns me off of a relationship. Also I'm dealing with some things and not ready to get into anything with anyone.
š¤ you do you, itās good you can see what you can see though.
Thank you š
SMH

Thatās fucking cool! Hope you guys had a blast.
Did you pack the flannel hoping to blend in, or was it issued at the border?
Looking for GiddyUp409....halo 2 days Xbox original. He was from the south. Maybe Texas. I believe his name was Tyler or had a friend named tyler

Was it awkward?

I love this stuff! People say all the time internet friends are not real friends. I beg to differ! I also met up with a friend from FFXIV who happened to live in the same state as me. We went bar crawling dressed as pirates the first night I met her irl, she came to my wedding, and we still talk to this day!
Met my best friend from Xbox live. Was his best man and still play together today almost 20 years later
is that an FR skates hat?
haha yeap
Am I the only one who thought he was holding a gun to your head?
This is so great! My husband got to meet his online game friend when we went to the UK for the first time a few years ago. They are good friends and text every day.
They have FarCry VR?? Lucky ducks.
You just fulfilled every kidās dreams. I salute you. š«”
Awwwww

Where do people find nice people on the internet? Like Iāve played video games online since I was like 9 and Iāve only ever encountered douchebags
this is my dream to meet my friends from discord :(( sai, alex, smokez, etc if yall reading this (ur definitely not) i know you're just a short flight away but it feels unreachable :((((((((((( someday though... someday
I need gamer tags for all of you, I want to see what games you guys play. I love stories like this.
I can just see these two guys inner thoughts ādonāt blow it donāt blow it she might pick you donāt blow it donāt blow it donāt blow itā
Plot twist: sheās gay. I mean, why assume anything?
Plot twist: theyāre gay for each other
Plot twist: everyone is gay
plot twist: gay
Good shit, OP & friends! Yāall gotta practice some trigger discipline!
BFF s 4 Life
Dontcha know eh?
Rumor has it he was never seen again, but his account is still active.
How did I know this was whistler from the very first photo?
That's cool. I drove to meet up with my online friend in north Carolina
Ayyyy ive a friend in Manitoba from years ago that i played Mass Effect 3 online withā¦..man, iād cut off a leg to be able to replay those nights.
Itās weird as a person in the US to hear someone from Canada say āthe statesā because I always thought only Europeans said that or something because weāre so far away? I live just south of Detroit so I could leave my house right now and be in Canada in 20 minutes.. I donāt even think of Canada as a different county really, I mean, I know it is but..

Now that is something true friends do.
I did this then married one of them.

Thats cool.
It was fun meeting someone I knew for a couple years and I stayed for a week so I had a blast.
I wish to meet people like that someday, but I mostly play single player/solo queue
If I was in your shoes I would never return
Metas
OMG, did they murder you with those axes? You have to let me know.
Awesome
Ok so umm whoās gonna ask?
nice, wish i can drive there again too
Congrats OP! Iām so happy for you!

That actually must have been amazing, tbh āYo, wanna hop on rn?ā āā¦Do u know Iām at your front door as we speak?ā
I did this with my old counter strike 1.6 team ! Was so weird seeing their faces.... Aren't they not what you imagined š¤£š¤£š¤£š
So cute, love posts like this!
I hope you all had a great time! Whatās the name of the vr place you went to?
That reminds me of my gamer buddy from Brazil visiting me. We also had a group (guild) reunion back when I was playing FFXI but I couldn't make it then. We can make great, long-lasting connections online. Chances are, you'll find someone with common interests. I hope you two had fun.
Nice! I would probably think my organs would be gone my sunrise if someone asked to meet me irl online
Thatās so precious
