Gearheads of War

I was really frustrated last night trying to figure out what could possibly be wrong with my Xbox. Did Gears 2 cause it to overheat (that's when my Xbox started and then Red Ring'd)? Is there something my modem is doing that causes only single player games to work without a problem? Do I have to much HD space taken up?

Sure enough, my Xbox only had 1 gig of memory left and I decided to clear off everything from games I don't play any longer. Got rid of some map packs for Xbox Originals and old games, removed some DLC for Rock Band I only played once and retired, and then I noticed something. All of the past data I had from Halo 3 (maps, game variants, etc) was still on there... And taking up space! With that I'd like to inform everyone to check back on their old Halo 3 data when the next chance comes.

Also, I installed CoD: WaW and my Xbox is running great. It hasn't overheated once yet and I'm going through the campaign on Veteran. That probably isn't a good idea because I hadn't gone through campaign on a lower difficulty, but it's surprisingly easy.

So once I get my new HD on Xmas I'll be able to rejoin the GearHeads on their GoW shenanigans. Until then, you'll be able to find me on Treyarch's Call of Duty.

Last night was a night like any other.  Or so I thought...

It is Wednesday night.  Normally not a night for much gaming.

But this is Thanksgiving Eve.  Gaming with the sweet knowledge that there will be no alarm clocks to disturb the next day.

I get online and see that Blankman and company are in a private room.

Full.  damn!

So, I play some campaign (I'm up to Act 5 chapt 3), yes I'm probably the last Gearhead who hasn't finished.  

Then after about an hour, I get an invite.

In the room is Blank of course, Hydro, Infidel, Hanzo, Cable, Wonka, and
Razor Hanzo.

The other two guests were people that I didn't know.

Chantaljoy and CliffyBisTHEMAN.  

I'm thinking, okay... Whose friends are these?

The room has just been re-opened and a couple of us got in at the same time.  We were talking "Who has a GT saying CliffyBisTHEMAN?!".  Some sort of rabid fan out there or something.

We started the game and Blankman was on my team.  Chantal and the "Cliff lover" were on the other team.

When were were just our team of five, Blankman says...

Just wanted to wish the Gearheads a Happy Thanksgiving.  Also a big thanks to everyone for making this such a great community :)  Eat some turkey, watch MY Cowboys play ;)  and have fun being with your families and enjoy it.  I'm very glad to have the 4 day weekend because I'm still getting over a nasty cold.

I'm hoping to get in some Horde with you guys over the next 4 days.  Lets blow up some locusts LOL.

Happy Thanksgiving Gearheads!!  

Found this over at major nelson's site. Apparently Microsoft has decided to have it's own little black friday sale. Major Nelson has a list of everything that is on sale starting Friday. It can be found Here They cut the prices on some premium themes which makes me happy.                                                                                                              

This diary is basically just to show off my new avatar. I have a story about this avatar and some of you already know about it. So this is basically just for you guys. You will understand once you see the avatar. If you don't know the story and you would like to know then ask me about it and I suppose I can tell you.

The flash on my camera completely hid Circuitz's name. The final score is always shown so quickly. :(

(Cue Queen's 'Another One Bites the Dust')

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust

You got that right, Gearheads. About a week from taking down the Day One map in Horde on Insane, we've taken yet another one down for the count! The beast that was TKO'd is the Blood Drive map. At this rate, we're averaging one map per week! We've got thirteen more to go.

Ok so this is the finished product that I put in the art show a few weeks back. This picture was when it was on the wall at the show. I have a bunch of pictures of other paintings but just have not got around to posting them up yet. Pretty good stuff the winner of the show was a Big Daddy from Bioshock that had LED's mounted behind the canvas but since it was light you couldn't see the glow. But in the dark I'm sure it was sweet. Here is the link to the shops photo album if anyone is intersted. Hope you enjoy guys thanks!

Don't forget today is the release day of one of the best official soundtracks, our own GOW 2. Picked it up at lunch and found something. First you find the biggest stereo system available to you or just go to a BB or Circuit City. Insert said soundtrack, turn up volume to ear bleeding levels and press play on track 2. You will never be the same, by the third movement it really kicks in and you are in for a treat. Don't miss this guys it's great. That is all for now, go get it, boys.

Thank god for Gearheads.  Seriously.

The gearsforums community honestly has to be one of the worst i have ever even seen.

It is not a community for fans to discuss games, its only an outlet for people to whine and post glitches they do.

Seriously, it's a mother fucking jungle.

Actually, forget my title statement. Go to the official forums, and see what my eyes have seen. You will appreciate this site even more!

Hey Guys, I just wanted to wish a very happy birthday to David Ellis.  I didn't realize his birthday until today when I was listening to 1up Yours.  Yes, I know ChrisB wrote a diary already, but I figured I'd make Ellis' birthday into more like a Hanukkah celebration instead ;-)

Seriously, happy birthday, David.

This is an article written by Dan Hsu.

It really made me worry about my gamertag because of the credit card information I have on it. After reading it, ive decided to remove some personal information from my bio. Inside the article is a mention of a gamer called "Skyllus vBi". I happen to have played with this gamer back in gears one. Turns out he got his account hacked because he received a double-edged-sword called "Recon Armour". This can only be given directly from Bungie. One could see why some pathetic people would desire this. Skullus got the amour because of this video.

The first video is a countdown that Jason Bertrand produced. He counts down his top 5 weapons from Gears of War 2.

Feel free to add your thoughts on his choices.

The second is a cool animation that one of our users did. What would happen if Marcus Fenix became a rock star?
