Gearheads of War

***** The piece that Crunk wrote was actually his cousin who was recently banned from our site.

His account is being reactivated, and he might post a more in depth explanation. We know he is definitely sorry to those who were offended at all by what was posted.

As most Gearheads could tell, it was a very untypical post for Crunk. Happy New Year 2009! :)

I'm at work, i'm the IT Director and i have to run cleanup and utilites until 2am ET.  So i will be here a bit.  But i will be on later.  I hate this time of year.  Then on 1st i have MORE reports to run, oh joy....

Anyway.  

I got "Resident Evil: Degeneration" on Blu-ray yesterday and i will be putting up a review.  I just need a few days to review, there are a ton of special features but i would like to get the story down and review.

I started it last night but fell asleep, go figure...

But i'm here maybe i will see you all on after i get out after 1am...

I have been stuck in work all week last week, with the exception of xmas.  Today i'm at work from 8am to 3am working on inventory in my computer system.  I hate this time of year.

Hope everyone at the gearheads had a great Christmas and sorry i didn't get back to all the "well wishes" sooner.  I have been busy and my son is home from College and has been kicking me off the xbox and ps3, not for long as his girlfriend comes in tonight at 6pm.  So hopefully i will see you all on sometime soon.  Please keep up the invites.  It's my son who ignores them and i'm ticked he doesn't reply.

Merry x-mas and happy new year.  Hopefully we will all be prosperous and have a great gaming year!

Played about an hour of L4D last night with Giggles, Goggles and The BoxinLeprechaun.  So much fun!!  And we dominated!

Want to play again tonight!

Who's in?!  

Post your love for the game here or teamwork strategies or when we are going to get new maps.

All I know is that it really IS a ton of fun.  And want to get some time in with Tyrus, Suns, Blankman, Papi (did you get your box back yet?!), Robbins, Infidel, Grymm, Boxin, Degrees, Really Doe, Hypnos, on and  on,  man if we could get a 8 player room going that would be Awesome!!

I'll be on at 10pm eastern if you can make it.  Sign up even, we'll make it a date!

Alrighty now that regular nfl season is up the playoffs kickoff next week with wild card week. THat means that only 12 nfl teams remain, and only two go to the superbowl. So gearsheads who is moving on through the wild card week, and who is going to end up in the superbowl.

NFC
ATLANTA FALCONS
vs
ARIZONA CARDINALS

MINNESOTA VIKINGS
vs
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES

and the winners of those gone on to play the NEW YORK GIANTS or CAROLINA PANTHERS, which for those who didnt watch was an amazing game last week.

AFC
INDIANAPOLIS COLTS
vs
SAN DIAGO CHARGERS

BALTIMORE RAVENS
vs
MIAMI DOLPHINS

and teh winners go to play TENNESSEE TITANS or PITTSBURG STEELERS

now my superbowl prediction is Tennessee vs Carolina, but i am a huge southern fan being from GA. However Carolina is my team. SO Panthers

Whether your fancy is the Xbox 360 or PC of Left 4 Dead, many players have seen a little bit of rabid action or plans to.  While the gameplay is nearly perfectly streamlined in Valve fashion however, no one can argue that the game's greatest shortcoming is the lack of content on disk.  4 campaigns, each with 4-5 maps, and only two of the campaigns available on versus mode.  Sure, playing versus and co-op, not to mention some fun and rather well thought out achievements, can stretch out a 4 hour game to a couple of months, but what then?
Valve has voiced that they will support the game post-release and supposedly much quicker than what they did for Team Fortress 2. So what content are you looking forward to?

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to throw a quick apology out there for my absence this week, just got back from visiting family! It has been a wonderful week and I'm sure you've all had fun too...I'll be out of town the next few days as well but should be back with early next week.

While I'm sure few care about the sweet study Bible I got, or the tickets to the Vikings game I'll be going to tomorrow, there is one gift I was blessed with that should put a smile on many of your faces...

The short story is that my girlfriend's dad just came home with a Blu-Ray player one day and I jokingly rubbed it in my dad's face saying "Why can't you do that?" Later that night he went to Blockbuster to get a few movies and found a perfect way to get back at me. He talked them into giving him this:

MERRY FRICKIN' CHRISTMAS!!!! =)

First off I just want to say that I'm really surprised that no one else has done a write up about Home yet. I'm just going to do a quick little synopsis about what I think of Home so far. It's basically Sony's version of the sims. Except a lot less fun. The only real thing to do so far is to go to the bowling alley and either wait until a lane opens up, wait on a pool table to open up (good luck), or wait until an arcade machine opens up. The arcade games themselves aren't all that bad. There is a block breaker game, echocrome (which is like a mini version of the full arcade game you can get from the ps store) and then this other game which I have yet gotten the chance to play. Bowling is pretty much just like the bowling in GTAIV. Which means it gets old fast.

Okay, here's a little bit on sharing the love for Gears 2.

This is a huge rant about memories and little revelations I've had concerning some of the personalities of fellow Gearheads. This is in no way intended to be offensive or degrading. I think that's pretty apparent when you read it, but if I offend anyone, tell me. Like I said, it is not my intent.

It's funny what you see in game...

  Hey im just wondering what everyone's favorite gifts were(and why they were) this year for Christmas.

  I got many but I have to say my favorite is my replica of the lancer. When you pull the trigger that revving nosie we have come to love... and sometimes hate fires up. also it has a handle so that you can pretend to slice and dice up the locust drones.
  But my runner up is Shawn White's Snowbording.I got many other things like clothing and candy but finnaly im going to be able to get L4D by useing a giftcard(50.00$) I got with the help of a 10$ discount off a few games including Left 4 Dead

First of all, please recommend this diary immediately so that it stays up top for a least a couple of days.  Second, let 'er rip: anything and everything that isn't quite worthy of a full diary. Share it here, but keep it spoiler-free.

I will start.  

CASTLE CRASHERS PATCH!  Woooo!!!  That game is still rocking my house with its visuals and music.  ...and Tim sculpted a figurine complete with clubs!  Picture to follow (maybe a couple of days from now).

Even with the release of the new dlc, Gears 2 is still fourth in the charts behind Halo 3, CoD:WaW, and CoD4.
