Gearheads of War

Zoso and Infidel creeping up on the Beastless Rider

I got on rather late and had to leave early, so I don't have a lot to remember or recap for Friday.  Let me just say this though.

I think it is HILARIOUS that when I jumped into the almost full room, Infidel was hosting.  This is the same Infidel with the same connection that everyone was screaming about (including me) for Gears 1. It is a testament to how much Epic improved the netcoding.  Of course, I was freaking out,　because for me (Japan), it was so bad, I was having a flashback to N64 Goldeneye days.  Literally, it appeared as superbad framerate issues.  Since I have only spent a couple of hours with multiplayer, I didn't know if that is the way it always is, or if it was just me lack of skillz and somehow diminished perception.  I couldn't believe my ears when everyone calmly told me that Infidel was hosting.

Anyway, after him, Kenai hosted, and then eventually Blankman.  All good stuff, guys!  Thanks!

Saturday was filled with Dirty, dirty horde.  I came on and the fellas were on level 28 Avalanche.  We were grinded to a halt there.  We switched to Blood Drive and would have carried that sucker all the way home, had it not been for the disconnects and RRoDs.  As it was, we got to L47.  Thanks to Grymm and Kenai for listening in on our very heated, but somewhat entertaining (if I do say so myself) live broadcast.  Cheers!

So, what are your stories of weekend game frolicking?
