Beers and Gears – Gears of War 2 – Xbox 360

Oil up those lancers, grind your gears and prepare for the

messiest way to end the working week. 

Warning – These sessions can go on quite late and have been known to transition

into Texas Holdem grudge matches.

 

Hook up – Friday evening is generally when you’ll find the

most unpredictable conversations and outcomes, but with so many users it’s easy

to setup an ad hoc game.

Not a problem mate, I dont know what happened during that game, either everyone just dropped their game a little bit or i found the zone for the duration off that match. Couldnt have done it without you, with you on my side I couldnt help but think that we had take that cheering us on from the sidelines lol

No idea whether it was that game, it was the wingman game on the fuel depot map.

Just all fell into place for me during that game, but whenever I play like that and try to replicate it in the next match it always goes wrong!!

Not sure if anyone wants to do a Bears and Gears weekend, but they're repeating what they did a few weeks ago by upping the XP multiplier by 1 for every 1000 fans they get on their official Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/gearsofwar

 

Currently at about 22,000 fans so that's x22 experience Thumbs Up

Alright dudes.

 

Been aaaages since I've put the Gears 2 CD in the tray – but this sounds like a good laugh. Probably won't arrive on the scene till after the missus departs for bed though.. about 10-11pm? I'll supply the Guinness.

Hey guys, sorry I just kinda jumped in and jumped out quickly and quietly last night but only had a short window of opportunity before cheese, wine and 24 with the good lady! As you could see, just started playing this as only level 2. Had a couple of random online games before joining you guys last night and I have to say I am very impressed with this game's multiplayer and will be wanting to play more of this – loads of fun and loads of variety it seems.

Currierox, I am still rolling with my XLC's and had problems again with audio. Will have to upgrade to X11's when I can justify the outlay (already bought three games, a USB, a Streetfighter pad and microsoft points this month!)

Once again, mightily impressed with this game – I want more!

Typical. My mother-in-law's birthday on the 3rd, then my Dad's getting married (yet again) on the 4th. My weekend is kind of spoken for.

The multiplier is actually 25x. Who's up for getting a party together that weekend and doing the really rude cheaty thing where you can cheat and get infinite XP, yeah? Malc knows how to do it! Wink

I definitely want to get in on some x25 action. I've always felt slightly out of depth with Gears online but hopefully some of the veterans can give me a helping hand.

No worries Brother Brown and Nicko!

Its ALL about the shits and giggles….if the XP's are as much as they say, then you'll probably get a few cheevo's by ranking up too.

Prepare by having some random ass questions for the players during the lobby – e.g. "What extra appendage would you like to have?"

 

I should be on around 8ish if there's room.

Keep an eye on the "amidlifegamer" gamertag (send a request if you havn't already).

Oh and if you can…have a drink..it helps.

Great fun once again with everyone last night!

I think we had:

Adamski UK – playing scrabble at the same time.

DiscoBeaver – The hostess with the mostess – thanks sugar.

CurrieRox – ..ding dong the bells are gonna shine.

Marmaladegirl – potty mouth party host.

Rapscallion – representin da yoot.

Phizzy – provided intermission music and inspiration.

CagedThunder – the whispering gamer.

HunterVP – thowing a sickie for gaming.

BlueMidgetPanda – noob on a mission.

MantisMat – bladder like a thimble.

….did I miss anyone? I'm sure I have…it got a little blurry past midnight.

(I know Uncle Fista couldn't get in as it was a full house…but I think he was happy waving a mouse around all night)

 

If you are reading this and wonder what its like (no matter what you're skill level is) then put your name down and you will find someone might just invite you!

 

-and if you have a vision camera, plug that in so you can send random images to the other players during lobby breaks-

Surprised  -we need more 'arse or elbow' quiz pictures-  Surprised
