Someone tell Fast Eddie it's safe to log in and play now.

Chew me Nah, had to double check all the financial stuff for tomorrow night's "camp" at Walmart. That and giving some time to WoW.I'll be back on Saturday...just lemme know when you guys are gonna quit, so I can log on :redheadedstepchild:-fe

I just read your post about tomorrow night's PS3 hoarding you will be doing. Good luck man! That's some serious moolah you will hopefully be making!

[Otis]

i cant believe im actually considering not going out on friday to stay home and play this.

 

[The Gator]

:headsforthecoffee:

 

[Otis]

I better do some practicing tonight before tryouts.

Playbooks are key.



"alright guys, lets run Goose 46 here. If we lose anyone, fall back to Delta ZERO ONE NINER, I repeat ZERO ONE NINER"

Also, putting all these plays on some sort of wristband will be very key. I also think they need a coach Mode.

Plays are key. My direction last night of, "There's a guy over there!" didn't seem to work very well. <_<

 

[Otis]

I think I unlocked an achievement for spectating.

 

[Otis]

So you know you are pathetic when you get home really late after a long day of work meetings (midnight-ish) and are so psyched to settle down for an hour or so of GOW when a scantily-clad ex girlfriend surprises you and rings your doorbell for some fun and you are sort of pissed about it.



Otis could not make it on last night but tonight WILL happen. I need to Gear Up for the tourney. I'll also be scouting heavily.

 

[CGRdrJoe]

Man was it a bad night to be a locust for the other team.

 

[belljr]

I started off so well and sucked at the end

I think my eyes are bleeding.

Even though I logged off at 1. My adrenaline was still pumping

Thanks for the games at the end

 

[Usual21]

Man, I was off my game last night. I won't let my team down like that again.

I also know who my first draft pick will be for friday night. This dude was pwning fools last night.

 

[JerseyToughGuys]

I think two things would drastically improve my game:

sobriety

skill

I don't see either happening anytime soon.

GDB expending all the effort in the world to carefully roll up behind someone and sneak attack their flank only to (1) forget to reload and run out of ammo; (2) have the wrong weapon ready; (3) hit the GD wrong button; and/or (4) just plain old get owned and look like a fool.

That was funny, I went for my guy and I see you zoom past for your guy only to hear aw #### I don't have any ammo.

 

[CGRdrJoe]

also orcinus is always worth having on your team regardless of kills just to hear him take a beating from his wife.

 

[orcinus]

I discovered some new skills last night that, without a doubt, make me the top draft pick available. While adding these new wrinkles to the arsenal that is orcinus, I'll admit my overall play might have slipped a little bit; however, I still proved my worth on the field of battle tenfold. On a scale from one to ten, I'd give last night's performance a weak 9.8, only because I was having to battle my wife's sarcastic barbs (shut up, reaper) in addition to the COG soldiers. In fact, I'd say I'm the best FBG GoW player we have right now, and that's not an exaggerated boast.

And the bad news for the rest of you? I'm only going to get better.

In the interest of fair competition, though, I'll share some of my discoveries with the less fortunate among you. That's right ... you know who you are, Gator.

1. I'm really good at making mad dashes for weapons that are heavily guarded on maps I don't like, and by heavily guarded, I mean lots and lots of bullets. I think the COG team cheated somehow and had the bridges shooting guns at one point. I filed a complaint with Epic Games on this, though, and will share the results as they come in.

2. I've mastered the art of grenade tagging without even pressing the correct button. My first three matches showed flawless execution of this move, in fact. Grab grenades, dive and roll up to panicked bad guy, press "Y", wonder what the hell my spleen is doing sliding down the steps. I think part of my problem is the fact I get a little bit too excited at times during this game, but I also know that can easily be corrected by adding more beer to the equation.

3. I'm getting to be a really good complainer. So much so that I'm probably the most feared adversary the death pool has ever known ... and that's only the things heard when I'm not all alone in there. From lagging to dying during stupid chainsaw animations that show me pwning souls, I've had ample time to expand my vocabulary and work on my complaint letters.

4. I rule the Death Pool with an iron fist. You think you're having a bad match because you got picked off by a sniper? Friend, your trials and tribulations have only begun. My advantageous entry into the cool kids club each match gives me ample time to unscrew all the salt shakers, shake up your beer and spit in your cheese dip.

It's a jungle out there, and I'll use every guerilla warfare tactic available ... even if it means coming over to your home and flipping breaker switches.

So remember one thing come draft day ... orcinus = victory.

Without me, your team is a d****

press "Y", wonder what the hell my spleen is doing sliding down the steps.

your team is a ditka?

 

[CGRdrJoe]

Otis - Just because

Orcinus - deathpool master and would be yelling at niloc to quit turning in circles and go find somebody.

Niloc - well we all know it is more fun to die early and watch him roam the map

Tlef - last night I think his line was 0 0 0 0

This team right here would be untouchable.

 

[ren hoek]

Also, tack me onto the list of people whom are curious to see where they will/would be drafted.

 

[Bonfire]

had a blast last night, but i check in to this thread in the mornings, and it feels like i am missing 80% of the action. you west coast guys must stay up late, im in bed before some of you sign in.

much much more fun to play with FBG than random people. hilarity level is higher and screaming into the mic or raping levels are lower as a whole ive found. but i have heard that otis likes to drop a funky beat when killing, looking forward to that when i get to play with him.

my current most feared FBG: Jersey. i swear he chainsawed me from across the map at least a couple of times.

 

[The Gator]

also orcinus is always worth having on your team regardless of kills just to hear him take a beating from his wife.

 

[orcinus]

Can we delete this thread and start over?

 

[The Gator]

What about a ***Official*** draft thread? Should be fun.

 

[orcinus]

Patience, Grasshopper.

Draft thread is coming; however, we still need to fill our final five slots. Also, our master game tag list is missing a few of our GoW n00bs. Be sure to add your gamer tag and update your availability for this Friday evening.

Who dat?

 

[orcinus]

My six-year-old brother, but don't tell anyone else.

Thought it would be funny to have a team drafted by a first-grader.

 

[belljr]

Still amazes me how one game you can be on fire and then the next you couldn't shoot your way out of wet paper bag.

Not very good usually with shooters but this game is too much fun.

 

[goonsquad]

Tango Zulu

Who dat?

 

[goonsquad]

Anybody up for an earlier game tonight? I'm thinking like 7:00 p.m EST or so. I can't do the 10 to midnight thing during the week.

I agree, very up and down. One game im at the top, the next im in the Deadpool the whole time listening to orcinus be berated by his wife, again.

Hey, I play GoW at a third-grade level. I pOWN first-graders.

 

[Usual21]

All this game needs is molotov cocktails. Then again, any game would be made better with some flying flaming weapons.

 

[Cowboys#1]

i am officially OUT for the draft.

sorry guys

That was my wife I believe. She was right next to me. Laughing at me. She called me a ####### for shooting my own teammate. I agreed.

 

[Bonfire]

i am a maybe for the draft/tourney

 

[belljr]

GB my wife. Sent her an email seeing about Friday.

me: "We're just hanging out Friday right?

Don't laugh too hard but there's a gaming thing going on Friday night I think I want to play in. I know I'm a "

her reply: "I don't think you are a geek baby...I find it cute!"

who knew? Otis may have another option in his arsenal.

I'm IN for Friday.

 

[Usual21]

You BETTER be! Your stock is up after last night. Last night was like the combines and I was keeping track of everyone's skills.

 

[Schmegma]

My problem - I like to play hide and seek, but always forget the seek part until all my 'mates are dead.

 

[orcinus]

Down to the final four.

Participants, be sure to pressure the folks at the bottom of this list at every opportunity. This is an excellent chance to practice your teamwork skills while utilizing mob tactics at the same time ... win-win!

Could have been. My wife generaly stays out of the room. She did come in last night to say good night. I told her to 'watch this' as I was sneaking up on someone. As soon as I fire up the chainsaw I get my skull split in two by a sniper. Me- , her - 'wow, your good. '

 

[orcinus]

We're going to have a wive's-only match before all is said and done.

Mark my word.

 

[CGRdrJoe]

pretty sure Launch said he was in for friday night.

I'm in the basement so at least I'm removed from any spousal abuse. She would have to go out of her way and she's not so much into watching me game with my imaginary friends

 

[Mad Cow]

I was up and down last night. Started slow, had a couple of strong matches with belljr and then went to mediocre with a couple of rounds with the rest of the FBG's. I still need to learn these maps. The 45 total minutes I have played multiplayer seem to be insufficient.

Also gotta let go of the chrage in guns blazing mentality.

 

[orcinus]

The more I think about this, the more I'm convinced we simply HAVE to make this happen.

Between round in our tournament Friday night, we're going to have a one-match skirmish between wives and girlfriends. While it's up to the rest of you to convince your S.O. to grab the controller, here's the e-mail I just sent mine.

Starting tonight, you're going to need to sneak in a little Gears of War practice.

Apparently, I'm not alone in the spousal mockery realm for dorky little headsets and cries of "take that, #####."

Simply put, we're not going to take it any longer.

Friday night between rounds of our tournament, we'll be hosting a special Wives'-Only Match. You've been nominated to play, along with a few others. in a bout that will take only eight minutes of your time. It's also something you can't refuse. You see, our little iworld works a lot like Lord of the Flies and refusing to do this for me would severely damage my online board cred.

You don't want me to have any more "Kill the pig" nightmares, do you?

Game time, baby ... gear up.

We can make this happen.

 

[goonsquad]

Same here. It especially helps that the wife is scared of basements.

Hey MC, the COG guys are on the SAME TEAM. YWIA.I think i've taken more shots at my own team then the other team.
