Gears and Beers!
Description:
Gears and Beers is the chainsawing sensation that's sweeping the nation! We play primarily on Fridays and Saturdays* around 8:30pm Central, but pick-up games can be had almost any night of the week - beers optional on worknights.
Many a Coffee Grinder asks, how can I get me some o' that? The answer, gentle neophyte, is to send friend requests to several of the people who you see posting in this thread; chances are, they are the most frequent players. When a Gears game starts, or when one has an open slot, the people in the game will typically spam their friends lists for players. If you were only on one person's list, they'd have to be playing for you to get invited - so send out a bunch of friend requests! It is also perfectly acceptable to see that someone is playing multiplayer Gears and send them a message like "invite?", though of course the game might be full.
*the Saturday game only appears on the event calendar on Saturdays, because there is only one Gears and Beers thread, but it IS there - it's just suspended in a xenon mist.
You eat Mexican, you'll be stoppin for somethin else a little later.
I've got to finish up stuff around the house, but I'll definitely be on Friday and Saturday at some point.

Now that I've finished GRAW, I might be up for it. Strange how the only invite I've ever received came from lunabean just as I was trying to finish off General RAAM.

I'm up for it, I'm looking forward to trying out the new maps.

I am so up for it later into the evening. I want to experience GWJ online again. It's been far too long since the Homeworld Revival Tour ended.

Hey, who knows? I've got that game store itch coming back, and there's both a CC and BB near the hardware store I have to visit soon. Maybe I'll be there to get sawdomized for you all.

I would love to, but I'm out of town this weekend. Good luck to everyone, chop some heads for me.

I'll be there. Although Tuesday night was possibly the best game I ever played, so maybe I should quit while I'm ahead

I'll be out of town Saturday afternoon but I should be back around 10PM for some chainsaw-gunning action.

I've freed up some spots on my friends list for those who weren't on it already, and sent out some invites. Ulairi, I'll send you one whenever I get back on my Xbox. And you should totally change your handle to Ulairi GWJ or whatever you need to - I'll kick in a shiny $2 of the fee!
Lock, you're also eligibible for the $2 of lovin'.

Yeah, I know its a pain for everyone here and on another board I frequent. I'm just a bit more attached to my "RiverRat" moniker now that I'm meeting up online with some coworkers and Poker buddies that know me by that particular handle after some amazingly lucky Poker wins on the River card.

They'll get over it.
Vrikk, you need to come into compliance as well! I want to give you my $2!

If you're really dying to send out money, total up all the people who need to change their Live names and send all of the money to me. I'll make sure it goes to the right place once it's needed.

Thanks for blowing my cover - the offer's off! I'll need the money for bail.
No, I just seriously got tired of scratching my head looking at my friends list and trying to figure out who is who, thought I'd try to make the decision to synch one's name up with their GWJ name a little easier. For instance, I had to clear up some friends list space the other day just to add my brother, and of course anyone who I look at and go "I don't even know who this IS!" gets the boot first.

Makes sense. It can be tough from time to time.

Is it possible to change the name on your XBOX live account? I thought once you chose it, it was locked in for good.

Hell, I'll do that. But I can also just make a new name, right? But then there's all the gamer points I'd lose from deleting my old profile and making a new one, and sending out all the new invites for the people I already have as friends.

I'm a bit down and out with a sinus infection right now, but I've got the antibiotics flowing so if I can clear my head before Saturday, I'll definitely be in for that!

Just go to the page that shows you everyone on GWJ who has an Xbox Live and add all the names you recognize; before you're done, your Friends List is full! MS really needs to up the limit, but there may be some processing issues that I'm woefully ignorant of.
