Gears & Beers Fridays

Wait is this a 2 drink min, or limit?

2 Beers every time you get chainsawed.

2 drink min, doubble shots when you get chainsawed, two shots of rum for being at top of the list with most kills, chug 2 beers for calling out "host advantage", one Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster for the nerds (can't handle 2 anyway)

I need my brains smashed out by a lemon wrapped around a gold brick.

God, I'm so screwed.

Alcohol poison is no excuse to stop playing or drinking...

Definitely a minimum.

Is the start button press still required to begin the match? If so, I probably shouldn't host.

I should be there for the midnight launch....I get off work at 11:30 so I'll be playing till about 4 a.m. mountain time. Are we just jumping straight into Multiplayer? Or are we gonna pair up and start with some campaign action?

Strait multiplayer is my vote, save the campaign for a more sober night.

No respawn so we can still talk sh*t, go pee, and refill our mugs.

I expect to be one of the 1st online with gears (love that east coast) so if I don't see anybody or only see one person I'm going into campaign. But once people start logging on it's multiplayer time. First 4 or 5 online will be playing some horde waiting for others to come online.

I have given myself off friday and plan to play till I pass out drooling. So I should get most of you under my boot at least once before I slip off into dream land.

10 DAYS LEFT!!!

I booked in my day off for the 7th today, so I should definitely be around and playing when you get back with the game. Horde sounds like a good way to kick things off

Ok the great purge will beguin monday or tuesday. if you have not done so yet send a message to the GWJ Gears Clan if you do not wish to be removed. If you are not yet feel free to drop a invite, it probably wont be processed till the purge is over to avoid removing new people that are asking to be added. If you have been recently added and wish to remain be sure to send a message to the GWJ Gears Clan.

The last warning has been sent. If you did not recieve a message from me about being removed from the GWJ Gears Clan than you are either safe or not on the list to begin with.

Some of the best messages I have recieved so far...

"So, like, I know I haven't been around recently and stuff, but, like, you know, I don't want you to be all like removing me from the list and stuff because you know, I mean, like, I'm totally picking up Gears 2, and dropping me wouldn't be cool. ;)" - Lumpus Umbrus

And...

"Any time that you want, I'll be here in your arms,
Silently holding on to the girl with the charms.
But if there comes a day you should turn your heart away,
I'll be down on my knees begging for that girl to stay.

Don't let go." - E Munnie

If you do get removed I will still be checking regularly for new invites. So just hit up the list again.

The list is currently at 70 members and 22 have sent their messages. If you are not one of the 22 get on it

Guess I need to send out an invite for this. I'd say up the Ante and make it much stronger shots but I don't think my brain can handle that much absinthe.

It's been a while since I've thrown a GWJ event. Any interest in a Tuesday night Gears event? This wouldn't compete with Gears and Beers, of course.

The Eurogame review got me excited for this again. Unfortunately on Friday evening I have to go to a Rothko exhibition at the Tate Modern. While people in the UK are delicately unwrapping their copies of the game (then sniffing the plastic like it's a Japanese schoolgirl's pants), I'll be looking at coloured squares in a powerstation.

Sent an invite to the Gears clan. Looking forward to Friday! I have the day off so it will be an all day Gears fest for me.

Boss is out of town, so I'm in for all day.

Argh! I just realized release night is the same night I'm out of town at my Fiancee's place. I really hope she appreciates what I'm giving up just for booze, bar trivia, and sex!

I'll be in for friday night though.

*Cough*

Getting the chainsaw prepped and ready for brutal penetration... and stuff.

I am shocked that my name was taken off the list. Didn't I give good host to you baby?

Request sent. I hope to have some booze leftover from watching the election results earlier in the week.

Gave as much warning as I could, never recieved a message

Please invite GWJ Gears Clan into your friend list to fix this oversight.

Is it starting to tingle for anyone else?

Yes, but my doctor says that should go away in a few days.

A shot of penicillin is what gumbie recommended to me.

Fixed that for you.
