Hey there... Just figured I would see if I am seeing things or not... on the Gears of war 2 Launch Center on Game Trailers (http://www.gametrailers.com/gears2launch.php) it is showing to me that there is only a little over 2 days till gears launches.... Anybody else see that on the countdown image? For me right now (2:09 pm on Saturday Nov 11th in the PST timezone) it is showing 2d 15 hr 51mn and 30sec. To me that looks like 2 days, 15 hours and 51 minutes... Am I crazy?

      It's just I couldn't tell if he was new or an old member reviving from the depths of hell(fire.) So, I was confused ;)
      
      Assuming you are new, however, welcome Me Shifty. Make sure to nab some of us on your Friends List so we can game sometime soon.

        I've been lurking the community since pre gears 1 days =) I check back every once in a while but have never signed up or dropped a note. I figured nows the time with gears 2 approaching. You guys seem like a good group with similar gaming taste so I might have to hook up with you for some awesome rounds of Horde.

Embargo (none / 0)

That's just a countdown to the review embargo. I'm capturing footage for my video review as we speak. It'll go up at the same time as Gametrailers along with Greg Ford's review for 1UP.

    Can't play any of the newer videos on GameVideos due to the flash format not being compatible with 64 bit... fun, the adobe site keeps telling me my platform is not supported when I try to install the flash player that the videos prompt me for... I haz a sad...

    I could point out that having to take a 30 minute bus right to and from the office on the weekend, lug all the capture gear back to my place, then actually you know edit a 10+ minute video for a 6:30 am PST embargo time on a Monday morning is not the most fun in the world, but ABSOLUTELY NO ONE on this site wants to hear me bitch about my work.
