Gears and Beers: The Legend Lives On

Description: 
[b]Starts at 8:00 PM CDT.[/b] Too good to die. The Friday night tradition has not died off, Fed just stopped playing, so no one updated the original thread. Come out and face the humiliation of a chainsaw to the face, a grenade tag to the back or a last-man standing Chinese fingercuffs! We always welcome new players. You might not think you're that good, but then you'll witness Bagga in action and feel good about yourself again! Hop on Xbox Live, and ask for an invite to the game. If you don't have some of the regular G&Bs players on your friends list, send them an invite. You'll be playing space marine vs. locusts in no time. You'll also be wondering what you've gotten yourself into. This is normal and it will pass.

Alas, crappy players won't be able to feel good about themselves this week, for I will be elsewhere. More specifically, pretending I'm 20 on a college campus. Wait, the party starts at 11? That's my bedtime!

What time's this start tonight? I may not be able to show this weekend due to Halloween festivities. If I can be online, I'll be happy to jump into some matches. I still suck, but Gears is too fun to never play. I've just been too addicted to PQ and BD to pop in on Gears nights the last month.

The party starts around 8:00PM central. I'll update the original. The whole DST, timezone, profile editing thing gets to be a pain explaining.

Glad to see that Halo 3 or TFC haven't killed interest in Gears.

No, I meant in reference to a college party... ah, nevermind. Yeah, your mistake.

PS Everybody kill Hemi for me tonight. He's a big ugly target, except for the target part.

Argh yet another Friday I won't have my gears disc back from replacement.... (and no.. I am not buying it again. Too many holiday releases I must pinch my remaining pennies for.)

I can't wait to rejoin you guys though The fact that friday nights are still going so strong is a testament to the unique flavor of Gears MP.

Ah, the good ole days of learning by candlelight. Where you had to make due with whatever you could get your hands on to protect yourself from the elements.

What was Jesus like in high school, Bagga?

He kept bragging about pollinating this cheerleader named "Hemi's Mom." Dude, everybody had some of that, don't be so proud of yourself.

It was hardly a virgin birth... I suggest you take Jesus on Maury to see who the daddy is. Could be anyone, really.

Edit - Awesome, we're moving towards getting this thing locked before the event even starts. I blame the terrorists, of which Bagga is a part of.

I have a free growler waiting for me, and (I think) enough free time to justify drinking it. Let's see some more names in this thread - pretending I'm not drinking alone because I'm playing Gears is only justifiable if I am, in fact, playing Gears.

Also, I'd like to say that I'm an definitely not Hemi's dad, as I'm only the finger of God.

I should be in tonight. Any chance we can do "Execution" instead of "WARZONE"? I haven't played any mode other than WARZONE yet, and would love to try some of them out.

Edit - fixed it. Nazi.

Gears doesnt have warlord mode. Its WARZONE. I recommend smoketagging and chainsaw sandwiches as punishment for this blasphemy.

A couple friends and I are dusting off our copies of Gears for some multiplayer tonight, starting at around 10PM EST. If anyone's interested, send me an invite or I'll send out invites if I see people not already in a game.

Whoa! Does Execution preclude Sniper and Torque shots too? I know you have to go over and finish a guy you got with the Lancer, etc., but I thought the "long range killing weapons" would still do their job.

Personally, I've never had a issue with Execution. Enemies I come in contact with seem to fall to pieces. No problem. I believe the long range weapons are also instant kills. Now, if we're talking Annex, you can forget it. That's where Cogs and Locusts go when they die.

Sniper and torque works fine. In fact, pretty much the only weapon that's not viable is the Lancer, which is my favorite weapon...

Hell, it's my only weapon. I just started remembering the shotgun two weeks ago, and I suck with it. The discussion may be moot anyway, since my wife has specifically requested my assistance with household paperwork tonight. Hopefully we can get done with it quickly, and I can get to something more fun, like being headshotted by Souldaddy and Hemi or chainsawwed by MysticViolent before the night is over.

so were not posting in the original thread anymore? after 2525 posts, I think it should get at least a proper burial...

R.I.P. Gears and Beers original thread...

May you find peace in the understanding that you are looked upon with reverance and love. Though you were starting to feel, well... a bit "used" like Hemi's mom.

I grabbed an Arcadia Ales sampler while I was at the grocery store, we'll be drinking together.
