Gearheads of War

I'm no longer going to be in any more FFF's. My xbox didnt die or anything, but I'm officially done with Gears 2. I took that piece of shit and threw it right where it belongs.. in the trash. If anyone wants to play CoD: World at War, which IMO, is a fuck-ton more fun than Gears 2, send me an invite.. and of course some Rock Band 2 as well. Also, if anyone wants to go back to Gears 1 any day soon, I'll be more than happy to join. I'm not even going to bother waiting for EPIC to fix this game. I just played a few games with Kenai and co. , and had absolutely NO fun. Personally, I hate the game, and I'm not trying to change anyones mind here. I'm just letting you guys know that I no longer will be playing Gears 2, and I probably wont be in any more FFF's. Adios, fellas.

Gacky, this is for you, big guy ;)

Now, I want to start this diary off by saying, if you havent played Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay, you MUST play it immediately!! This was easily my favorite game on the original Xbox (sorry Halo). The campaign itself was just incredible, and during its time, it was one of the best looking games out. Now, Assault on Dark Athena is not a sequel, but a HD remake of "Escape from Butcher Bay". Also, on top of the whole campaign for Escape from Butcher Bay, Starbreeze is going to add an entirely NEW campaign onto the original! Apparently, it's going to add 10 more hours of gameplay and story to Escape from Butcher Bay. And for your viewing pleasure, here's the first trailer for Assault on Dark Athena!

Does anyone want to do some co-op on Insane with me sometime tonight? I just bought HellBoy 2 on Blu Ray, so I'll be watching that until 8ish.. but afterwards I should be on. I'm sort of at the middle of Act 4, and I just want to finish Insane quickly, and get it over with since I've been doing it all by myself so far (its A LOT tougher than Gears 1 Insane by yourself!). If anyone could help I will love you forever... and I'll also help you whenever you run through Insane, too :D

HUGE props to L3TS D0 TH155 on the official forum for finding these vids. They all look INCREDIBLE!! Canals is definitely the best ;) Mansion is a close 2nd. Tyro is 3rd just because I dont like that map, but it looks damn good now. Enjoy!!

Only 3 MORE DAYS!!!!!

Since Gears 2 is only a mere 9 DAYS AWAY! (even though it feels like a million days), I was wondering if anyone wanted to start coming up with ideas for groups in Wingman and Horde. I'm extremely bored right now so I really dont have anything else to do. But anyways, if you want, post below what teams you think would be very successful for Wingman and/or Horde. I'm gonna go back to watching a live broadcast of Fallout 3 :D

While being EXTREMELY bored, and having nothing to do.. I jumped on myspace for some reason. However, I came across this pretty awesome little tidbit of info.. with a trailer! Michael Bay will be producing the remake of the original Friday The 13th. I definitely think this movie has as much potential as 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' did to be one HELL of a scary movie. The trailer definitely seems that way, anyways. Check it out and let me know what you guys think.

Oh yes! So, I havent watched the entire vid yet, but I've seen a few little things that I like. You can see the ranks for the people in the room (much like CoD/Halo), and if you look at the map selection on the side, you can see how the map voting works now. Its all with the triggers. I dont think I can wait 16 more days...

So I just got an HDMI cable when I went to pick up FarCry 2, but I'm having some trouble setting everything up so I get picture and sound. I dont have any sort of surround sound system. Its just my xbox and my HDTV. Any help on how to hook everything up?

Found this on the official forum. This guy is playing with a few buddies (as you can see them talking), and at about 7:28 he nails RAAM from afar with the Torque bow, directly in the skull. It...looks...amazing. Also, this is on the map 'Jacinto'. Looks PERFECT for Meatflag (f*ck Submission) and Horde especially. ONLY 16 MORE DAYS!!!

The achievements for our beloved and highly anticipated zombie shoot 'em up are here. They look relatively easy, but we dont know exactly how hard the game will be, or how tough the enemies will be to take down, but nonetheless they are pretty creative. Also, remember that the demo for L4D will be arriving early next month!! Hooray!

While I was surfing the good ol' internet, I came across this sweet trailer for FarCry 2 titled "Welcome To The Jungle". Yes, the Guns n Roses song comes to mind, but its not involved with this trailer at all :P. This trailer shows off how you can approach a certain situation more than just 1 way. All I will say is.. if I didnt love Dead Space so much, and if I had a little extra cash, this badass game would easily be pre-ordered by tomorrow. Anyways, check out the trailer, and drool over the amazing graphics and explosions. Enjoy!

OH...MY...GOD!!! I absolutely cannot wait to play this. This was just recently posted on Gametrailers (I think..). I like the new animation to pick up the sniper! Only a little over a month.....
