Gears & Beers Fridays

You peeps gonna be playing tonight?

I should be home and playing sometime around 12:15-12:30 depending on the line at the store. When I get home, I was planning on starting a Bot-filled Meatflag match, and checking the Gears Clan every few minutes to send invites to humans. I have Friday off, so I intend to play until around 4am so I can catch some of the midnight West-coasters.

What is the max body count for meatflag?

I think all of the modes except Horde cap off at 10.

I will be on between 12:15 and whenever people get the hell out of my way so I can grab my copy leave and speed home with a trooper chasing me. So I figure 12:16 EST. At wich point I plan to play till I pass out like Gumbie or sometime sunday.

I'm planning on starting with horde mode, figuring there won't be a lot of goodgers on till at least 1am EST but there should be a few. Then we'll open it up to some meat-flag goodness and whatever strikes the groups fancy.

The list should be up to date on page 2 of this thread.

See you all in a few hours!!!

If you are not on this list and wish to be please send a friend invite to GWJ Gears Clan.

Thank you all for your patience during this process. I have attempted to send friend invites to the grand pubas of Gamers with Jobs but most of them have full friend lists.

I will be playing all nite

Ditto, since I don't have to work tomorrow.

I'm on all night too.

Wow, you guys sound like gamers without jobs. I'll be on Friday night, and probably a few times through the weekend, but that's about all I can really swing at this point.

I'm so jealous of you guys, I won't be playing till friday afternoon because the ebgames are not having a midnight opening but such is life, im pumped for it and look forward to playing with you guys

Boss in on another continent; I'm in until I have class tomorrow. I even took a nap to prepare.

I have load of PTO I have to burn before the end of the year. I'm mainly using it around the holidays, but I always save one day for a 'Gaming Holiday' every year and this day seemed to be the logical choice with so much goodness coming out this week - FO3, Gears 2, L4D demo, Resistance 2, EndWar. This has to be the best fall gaming season I can remember.

I'll be staring at my busted 360 with my arms raised, yelling, "WHYYYYYY?!"

I was going to take the day off, but we're trying to push a release out the door. Friday night for me (as well as Saturday, etc.)

My brother's picking up my copy at Gamestop during lunch tomorrow. I expect to be available until the wee hours of the night.

I am standing in line outside GS now (already paid). Next time I'm perordering at Meijer. It's inside and I won't have to make an extra stop for beer.

Anybody going for freebies? If you get it at Circuit City either online or B&M, you get a 1600 point card.

Local news is covering it because Epic is a local company.

It's just plain weird.

Sitting in line with people who make me wish I was not standing in line. Tell me I am NOT one of them... Please

Hah, I'm actually just envious that I can't devote a full weekend to a game like I used to. Even skipping several major releases this season I haven't even finished a game. Just seems like they keep getting added to the pile.

Got my copy at a midnite madness event at a local BestBuy. They were giving away those golden hammerburst codes. Also, strat guides were $5 off. The RC tanks that were given for free with LE preorders weren't in stock yet, though.

the name is totally full of win... more beers the better!

That was fun.

I'll repeat what I said online. It's worth it just to play on some new maps again.

Hopefully I can snag a nap sometime today.

Was anyone else having issues with Live last night?

I know I was only on for a little while last night, but it was great fun. The highlight of my short time was, in spectator mode, seeing one of my teammates get gang-sawed by three locusts. Looking forward to getting back on tonight.

Sounds like it's a good time to upgrade to the new 60GB models!!

I've been debating a little bit about what I want to do but it sucks that it's right at the holidays. I think we may do just an Arcade model as an early family Christmas present. Larger hard drive would be nice but my 20GB has been getting me by.

[Edit] Ooo! The 2008 Holiday Pro bundle has Kung Fu Panda and Lego Indiana Jones. The Kung Fu Panda demo reminded me of an excellent PS game: T'ai Fu: Wrath of the Tiger, plus the kids wanted it. I already have Lego Indiana Jones but I can regift/resell/trade the sealed copy. We have a winner!

Update: inigo, will3r and I are still going strong

Horde mode gets an A+ from me.

Damn you all... I can't pick it up for another 12 hours or so. But then it's on like donkey kong!
