Gears & Beers Fridays

What night do you guys regularly play on? I'd like to get a good Horde round going. My only experience with Horde so far is Publix XBL and I always have 2 people without mics and some douchbag who want to be the "one man wonder" and goes off and gets killed costing the team.

Anyway, any GWJ'rs wanna hit up some Horde or Multiplayer send me a friends invite. I will admit to being rusty with gears multiplayer as I hadn't picked up gears 1 in a long time so if you need an ace player it not me, but if your just having fun - friend me up just put GWJ in the message so I know.

Right now we're playing every night! The first Gears had a regular Fri/Sat contingent. I'll send you a friend invite. You might change your XBL tag to a link in your signature so it's easier for folks to find you.

This thread totally should have been named 'Gears 2 & Beers too!'.

I anticipate being on tonight (The Usual Friday) around 830 or 9pm EST. If I don't see a game up I'll do what I did last week - put up a game, max bots, and make a post here telling folks to join me. If it's later in the envening and the game's full, I suggest doing the same and creating a second game (make a private match, full bots, put a post here). Let's hope XB Live has fixed the hiccups.

I will not make it this evening... I am headed to Little Rock to do some recording tomorrow morning.

To anybody new trying to join the GWJ Gears Clan, please be sure to send a message along with your invite to let me know your GWJ. We are quickly approaching capacity and I don't want to leave out some Goodgers cause somebody looked at a GWJ member friend list saw the tag and tried to friend it up.

I have been going thru the list checking out those I am not sure are goodgers by looking over their friend list. If they don't have at leaast one goodger I am figuring they are probably not one. If you have already sent a request and have not yet been added please simply send a message stating that your in GWJ and I'll fix you up.

As of 1:25PM EST Friday November 21st their are 84 friends on the GWJ Gears Clan.

Sorry if this has inconvenienced anybody.

No inconvenience. Thanks for the update.

West coasters unite! If there are any late night West coasters, friend me up (see signature).

I usually get online around 10:00PM Pacific (GMT -08:00).

If you have similar gaming hours, friend me up.

I appreciate the repeated invites from some of you guys since the game's release, but I've come to the realization that I simply don't want to play this game's versus mode at all.

I like the campaign, and horde mode is fun, but past that.. I'm out for multiplayer.

I think i will join the Clan cause it's near impossible to play online without friends, this game have so much trouble finding other players.

Gameplay or the horrible matching service? This is why I host and easily fill a private match - it sooooo much less painless than the stupid pub system.

It's a combination of things, but the biggest is just a general disinterest in adversarial play of any kind. It started somewhere around the time I took about three weeks away from playing CoD4 only to come back and find out that I was either bad at it, or that was all the time it took for the rest of the players on Live to surpass my skills in every way possible. It grew from there and I don't believe I've played a versus game of any kind since then.

It means you're getting old. You'll get used to it.

Not.

You'll never get used to it. It sucks. f*ckingly so.

TRUTHINESS ABOUNDS. That's why I play Horde mode.

I'll be on tonite around 8 CST. I'll start up a game max bots as above. Please shoot me a note if you'd like an invite. I'm so pumped it's not funny. Otherwise, if you have a game that is not full and need a body, please let me know. Maybe I'll be lonely... But I doubt that.

Doesn't look like I'll be able to make it this week guys. If I do, it'll be much later on.

I need some people to play with. All my friends are East Coasters and I hate the Matchmaking system with a PASSION. So I'll join if that's cool.

I apologize if I was too loud last night. I have to use a lot of force in order to talk and I may not realize how loud I am.

Starting "Gears2 w/ Shoal Hosting" on 360 - 10pm EST

10pm EST (NOW!) - starting up a private GWJ Gears2 game. Just join the game in progress with Shoal07 - you can find me via the GWJ Gears Clan

Your kind is shunned around here. The site admins hate Canadians.

Seriously,

Good time last night. If I EVER win a chainsaw duel I'll be astounded.

Fronsac was the name of that adventurous taxidermist in Brotherhood of The Wolf, right?

Yeah - I started the night sweeping the other team 5-0 in team deathmatch (they had 0 kills I believe, in 5 rounds. Yeah, and they had Rabbit too...) I ended the night with matches like the 0 points in Wingman Gorilla and I scored. You win some and you lose horribly, at times.

Mad fun Saturday night. Thanks to everyone except Certis. It stopped being fun after the 8th chainsaw at your hands (I kid, it was the 10th that made me mad). Meatflag was especially fun, doubly so because the bot had more kills than anyone.
