Gears & Beers Fridays

Let us not discuss last week's turnout

My xbox was updating! Looks like I just missed you guys.

Arise thread! Gears 5 coming out.

I’m down.

Count me in fo sho.

Yessssssss.

Yes please.

We used to do this Fridays around 8-9 pm EST. Is that still something that works for everyone? I have off tomorrow (Friday) and plan on being on earlier but I assume G&B will start at 8ish. All input welcome

Well given that Gears 5 is basically free (woot PC Game Pass!), and it supports cross-play, I'm installing now!

Definitely worth checking out. I'd be cross-playing from PC, but with a controller.

How did I miss this was coming out tomorrow! What an awesome surprise for a, what looks to be, stormy weekend.

I'm in. If we're not friends on Xbox, please, someone, add me (gamertag in sig). I def don't want to miss this. I'll probably be playing on PC but with controller.

As long as I have power and Dorian didn't cause too much damage, I'll be on.

I’m in! Tomorrow night may not work, as my father-in-law is coming tomorrow to stay the weekend, but I’m pretty excited about this version. Feels like it’s a going to be a great update to the franchise.

Same. Potentially in tomorrow, depends on kids(wife is out of town so is just me and the girls) but definitely another time if not.

Where are you guys finding the install link? I'm checking on xbox.com and the app.

I was hoping to remote install on the Xbox but it keeps on opening my PC app on my work computer. I guess I will just have to do it the old fashioned way when I get home.

Color me interested.

how does one join? I kicked off the install so I would love to try.

I'm in as well been talking to inigo as always and looking forward to it

I skipped Gears 4, but OG Gears & Beers with the first game is one of my favorite multiplayer memories. For months I had a plan for every Friday night. What great times.

Since I've got Gamepass, I'm in! See y'all tomorrow!

I’m in the same boat. I watched the story recap video in Gears 5 last night and only then realized that I completely missed Gears 4. I might go back after 5 to play 4 since it’s also on XGP.

I've added those here who weren't already friends on XBL, I've got Octoberfest in the fridge, I've downloaded the game. Let's go.

Now here are some names I haven’t seen in a long long time. Looking forward to insta-gibbing you all with my Gnasher. I’ll open the door for you, “I’ve got the codes”.

I'll be popping my gears'n'beers cherry tonight. What's the protocol for finding a game?

The best protocol was Gears 1, before there even system level parties. Then you just had to have a friends list with enough people that were Gears'ing and pester them with pms until a slot opened up. And there were only two game modes, and only one of them was any good.

I got my beers. Ready to get my Gears on tonight!!

"We know you really want to get started, but you’ll have to wait a bit longer. Check the store for the launch date."

I guess I don't have the correct tier of ownership.

:cry:

Ya I'm getting that but played the first level yesterday. Huzzah.

I was trying to see if I could get into it but I'm stuck in Carlisle, Pennsylvania for awhile. But man I still suck at Gears of War.
