Gearheads of War

Last night was all about getting old friends back together.  I played for the first time in a long time with Blankman, PMS Legend, Jambi Bum and Sai Tyrus.  I had played with aamato and hoot recently, and they were both there.  And I'm not really sure if I've played with Razor Hanzo before.  He was there too.

I will say that even though I'm most definitely ready for Gears 2 to come out because the Gears maps and glitches are starting to feel stale to me.  Don't get me wrong, I still have a blast with the Gearheads, but I'm just not as crazy about it as I was.  You know one of the things I'm most excited about will be getting a team of Gearheads together in Gears 2 and heading out into XBL and beating opposing teams DOWN.  

But I digress.  Last night was, surprisingly, one of the first times I've ever been on aamato's team.  Usually he's killing me with the torque or his deadly shotgun and his bullet proof vest, so it was interesting seeing from his perspective for the first time.

I also had one of my best nights with the shotgun, in particular on War Machine, so I pulled a George Costanza and said, "Thank you, everyone, that's it for me, good night!"  I went out on a high note.  Especially after I pulled the worst Hillary Clinton Award EVER.  I threw a grenade towards the other team and it must've hit the ceiling and bounced back and killed every. single. person. on my team.  I've never seen that before when one grenade killed all three teammates.  That was a first.  All you can do is laugh at that point.  Surprisingly I still wound up with the most points on that map despite the huge subtraction for my "D'OH" moment.

The boom was mostly good to me last night too.  I had a couple of double kills.  Blankman at one point said that Jambi, aamato and I made a pact with the devil because we all wound up with six kills.  6-6-6, the number of the beast FTW.

Sorry about bailing early but I had a lot of work still on my plate for my day job.  Thankfully I'm finally done.  What do you remember from the evening?
