  •  If it came from Cole Train. . . (none / 0)

    you can take it to the bank.

    Or so I've heard.

    In any case, I'm afraid I've been refraining from drinking the Kool Aid.
    Don't get me wrong, I've been looking at the Kool-Aid.
    Thinking, "If only I had a glass of water, I might drink this tasty and refreshing looking beverage".

    What I'm really trying to say is, I don't want to get too terribly excited about November when we've barely gotten out of May.
    Of course, I'm sure I'll be picking the game up come November day 1, but as it stands Gears of War just isn't on my radar yet (sleepless nights from here till November? I think not).

    In any case, while I'm sure that November 16th is as good a date as any, the fact remains that I'll be more than happy with my Halo 3 until, say, September.

    This is, of course not to rain on the parade of any Gearheads who are excited for Gears of War right freaking now, but I don't believe I'll be able to be level headed about this game unless I keep my pessimism high.

    •  Sparton, I totally understand (none / 0)

      the sentiment and respect that self-control, but for me, I am just letting myself get all caught up in this one.  For me, this is THE entertainment event of the year, just as Halo was for many last year.  I may find that some of the gameplay changes in Gears 2 create big challenges for me, but I will be putting in the time to make it work.  Heck, G2 couldn't possibly have more shenanigan-ery than Gears 1.

      When the guys showed me jousting, I thought of you.  You should attend the next Festival.  Who knows, maybe by that time we will have figured out how to set up a lemonade stand by Boomshot!
