Just this evening Me, HunterVP, DiscoBeaver and Kainelor were planning our Friday night and thought it would be awesome to get a good session of Gears & Beers on the go again.

We were wondering if anyone else was up for some of this sweet Gears action? We'll hopefully kick off about 8ish. 

So if your down dust off your copy of Gears 2, pop it in the disc tray, grab your alcoholic beverage of choice and join us for some chainsaw fun!

Hope to see you there. awesome

 

Also. It would be great to get this going on a weekly basis again. Hopefully we'll get a enough people together this Friday and in future Fridays to make this dream a reality.

Thanks for your time wink

I gave my copy to a friend so he could play it as everyone stopped, just going to wait for the beta.

I should be able to make it, assuming there's room for a little 'un.

 

Edit: I'm afriad I'm now unlikely to be able to make it to an xbox till fairly late, but if there's still action in the early morning I may jump in.

Where the fuck is everybody? People want to get their game on! 

I would join in but not having the game and being utterly shite has always been a bit of a drawback.

 

Surely one of those Community Manager types could get this organised?

If you had checked out Twitter then you would see that I am working and everyone else has made excuses because they miss me (not literally as i am such as easy target in gamefrown)

 

I will be back next week with nice wine (not Hock) and a supply of freshly sharpened pencils.oh-yeah

Got a £6 copy of Gears.. Check.

Download the on offer Map Pack, with all maps for 400 MS points… Check.

Ready for my first Gears and Beers session this friday!!

 

Also wandered into Game at lunch and asked about the pre-order beta.  It turns out Game will give you a code, in hand rather than via email, for a refundable £5.  They practacly told me that I could cancel my preorder at any point and that they wouldn't hound me to buy the game from them – Reason being you have to pre-order the collectors edition at £60 to get the beta code, and they want you get THAT one. But you have to cancel it with 28 days of the game release… *snif* Not too bad. wink

Ahhh so there will be a number of people who enjoy the beta and think "well I've got it pre ordered now.. sweet" and kinda forget about the price they are paying for that copy – a very interesting way of doing thing that I'm interested in seeing if it pays off

The Game website will allow pre-orders and Issue a Beta code via E-mail wihtout a Deposit just has the usual 'while stocks last' tag line. Looks like the Beta Codes are going out on the 21/04 from Game so a good few days before the wider beat is opened.

I got stung before with buying Crackdown for the Halo 3 Beta so as Bulletstorm didnt hold my attention after a rent i wanst too bothered about the Early Beta access.

Looking forward to this Friday though as i just had the nod that Mrs Discobeaver will be out so its just Me, Ninja Dog and a whole lot of lancing.

Yep, me too. Baroness Von Pleb has granted me a eight o clock start, rather than the "When i fall asleep" norm.

Which game are we on for tonight? I've got GoW2 and the Beta.

 

TBH I'm not ready to let go of my retro lancer/sawn off combo yet, seeing as how I suck a lot less with it.
