Gearheads of War

 Hey guys just wanted to give everyone a heads up on this.  Dylan's Birthday is on Monday and he was wanting a Marcus Gears action figure.  I went to my local Toys R Us and they only had 1 Cole left.  My Wife asked one of the workers if they had anymore in stock and she went and checked and came back and told us that they are discontinuing them :(  She said they would not be getting anymore series 1 in.  She even checked some other Toys R Us stores around the area and they were all out of them as well.  So if you guys were wanting to get your hands on the series 1 figures and was planing on going to Toys R Us to get them you better hurry and check if they are still available in your area.  She said she wasn't sure why they were discontinuing them and I told her that series 2 is coming out and she said that's probably why.  I did get him the Cole train :)  The detail of these are fantastic.  I just wish I would have went to get them a lot sooner.  I did get it for $9.99 because Dylan got a  $3.00 off gift card in the mail for being signed up in the Toys R Us Birthday club.

Good ole smart ass Baird gives the run down of the

top 5 deadliest locust from Gears of War.  The

commentary is kind of funny :)  Enjoy Gearheads

 Cliff said in a interview that Gears 2 would not

be made for the PC.  He says that piracy is the

reason why they will not make it for PC..  Click on

 Not sure if this has been posted before but it

seems Gears 2 will have filters that you can turn

on to turn the blood off and have it show sparks

instead of blood.  Plus you can filter out all

the curse words, to be a more kid friendly game.

Just thought I'd share this with you all,

especially those Gearheads that have kids.

  The new video of Dead space looks amazing.  I'm very excited for this one.  Survival horror games are awesome.  Check out the video from gametrailers http://www.gametrailers.com/player/40173.html        

"Your save game is unreadable or invalid and can be deleted from the xbox dashboard.  Please press A to continue."

I have tried clearing the cache and it still says the same thing.  This also happened to my Daughters saved game but she was no where near as far as Dylan was.  Thanks for any help guys, I think he is going to have to start all the way over and he's not very happy about that :(

  Just wanted to pass this info along to those that bought NHL 09.  They are reporting this over at www.xbox360fanboy.com

 Sports fans, grab the tissues because the tears are about to start flowing. Users on the official EA Sports forum are reporting widespread disc read error issues with NHL 09 -- over time. Many users are reporting the popular hockey franchise works as advertised during the initial play through but eventually crashes after loading saved modes or regular games once the Xbox 360 reboots.

 Hey Gearheads, have you heard about the experiment that's going on early in the morning our time?  The Hadron Collider at the Swiss-French border will be turned on tomorrow and they are saying it will reproduce the effects right after the big bang theory.  Claiming that the world as we know it could be sucked into a black hole ending all life on Earth.  I was shocked nobody posted this yet, as it's happening tomorrow.  I'll post some links so you guys and gals can read about the experiment.

I was just wondering if any of you guys and gals have any Tattoos?  I've been wanting to get one for quite some time, and actually want to get a Gears related one.  What are your guys take on tattooss?  I know it would have to be something

amazing because it's something I would always have on me ;)  This might be the oddest diary I have ever posted.  The Cowboys won today as well YES!!

  I just wanted to say Happy Labor Day to all of

the Gearheads.  Hope you all have a wonderful

Labor Day.  Have a cook out and enjoy your day

off, hopefully you all do have the day off :)
