Hey Gearheads, we had a bit of a sparse gathering last week, BUT we got a really nice full room for a little while. I'm hoping to be on for a while tomorrow night but my nephew Ben has made his annual trip out to Southern California. He might be playing in my place for a little while unless we can finally figure out how to do split screen.

Sign up below. We're hoping to be on around 8:30 p.m. tomorrow night. I'll set up a room and send out invites. Hope to see you then!

to do split-screen (none / 0)

you just hit 'Y' when you get to the screen that says "Host player match, Host ranked match, etc..", and then it'll bring up the guide blade on the left hand side of the screen, and all you have to do is choose "guest" with the second player controller.

Lets Do It! I can't wait to game with all after (none / 0)

a quite extended absense. Who's up for LATE tonight?
The only gaming i have done as of late has been WOW because i have been away from home, but now i am back (and my PC is broken because i left it with idiots... which makes me an idiot)
Anyway, long story short lets play GOW! And everyone download WOW.
Actually, if you are interested in giving it a try, i will send you a link to download it. Becuase if you do a 10 day trial off my link and then choose to buy 2 months, i will get an awesome exclusive mount.
So... machete... you gots to be getting on the world of warcraft.

Not all who wander are lost

  never download WOW and I think I may be the only PC gamer who will never have it installed on his PC. Count me in for FFF.

My house is still currently tented for termite fumigation. That's $1,400 down the damn drain! Do you know how many games and consoles that you can buy with that kind of coin?!? Grrr...

Gears is MY Star Wars!!! Wooohhh!!!

I can host tonight. IF, my telephone line gets repaired. It is scheduled for today.
Probably around ten o'clock.
Anyone interested in trying a little Cod4 or Halo3?
Then switching to Gears.

    Nice to mix it up... Hopefully we actually have a FFF with all our heavy hitters doing other things tonight.
    Either way, I'll be on, hoping we get a full room.

Football camp (none / 0)

three days of waking up at 500am and running, then going full pads for hours upon end. Oh boy it was so much fun (infacious on the sarcasism)
But i probably will only be able to get on during the home football games, cause that will probably be the only time ill get home at a decent hour
