Gears & Beers Fridays

My girlfriend and I are looking to play some horde. Friend me on XBL.

Yeah. Good games last night. At least until Wu showed up and made the rest of us look like chumps for a while.

Definitely enjoyed it last night. Looking forward to next time.

I smell an idea:

Progressive Gears?

Remember how we always talk about Raven Down being the only map worse than Escelation, and there is no way we'll ever see it again?

This very short clip just surfaced on the internet.

Also, not sure if you guys have seen this Easter Egg.

I remember Podunk saying something along the lines of, "if you listen closely you may be able to hear a song he worked on while you're inside the Stranded camp." That's the song from the Stranded camp, I believe. I wonder if that's the one he was talking about?

Love it!

GWJ Gears Clan updated. Should be on tonight.

I'm going to be looking for three people to play some Horde mode tonight.

I'm down to regulate some fools tonight.

I sadly will not be prresent tonight.

I'm out.

Won't be on tonight. Have fun, gentlemen!

This is looking like a bust.

No sir, this is a bust...

Then again, you could also search the post a picture of yourself thread.

Good games.

Yeah, good games last night. Sorry I left so early. I was practically falling asleep. Did Gumbie ever get in?

Spent the evening with the Wife. Next Friday for sure d00ds.

So is DLC pretty much required for the Friday night shenanigans? That's what I would expect but I just want to confirm before I drop the $30 or whatever it's up to now. I don't want to be "that guy" that keeps everyone from playing their DLC favorites.

If you've not played it, then you are forgiven the first time. The next week? Yeah, then you're pushing it.

Generally this, but more often than not, you'll just endure endless ribbing. That said, the season pass isn't terribly much more than All Fronts was for Gears 2 and has been cheaper at times, so IMO, there's really not much of a reason to have held out.

There are some pretty cool maps in the DLC (not to mention the single-player RAAM stuff) so buy it and I won't get mad.

From what I recall, we have the free map pack, and the Fenix Rising map pack. Will the group be picking up this new announced one?

I think the bulk of the group got the Season Pass, so we will probably all have it, yeah. That said, I probably can't play this week .

Got it. I'll poke around and see what I can dig up out of the couches. The Q4 crush kept me away from Gears for awhile but maybe it's time to get back in.

Damn. I should have picked that up. I think this next bit of DLC, should I choose to buy it, will put me over the Season Pass cost.
