While I'll be at work for this tourney :mad:, I'd still like to see where I *would* be drafted. Please? :masterofthetorqbow:

-fe

 
Watching "The Breakup" with Vince Vaughn talking trash to a 12 year old playing Madden pretty much hit home.

Watching the Texas Chainsaw Massacre may prepare you for future on Friday night.

Otis - Just becauseOrcinus - 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 mapTlef - last night I think his line was 0 0 0 0This team right here would be untouchable.
:bag: for the record, it was my very first time playing. I did have a few kills, and a decent amount of take downs. I literally took the game out of the box and logged onto multiplayer. I also, as i mentioned, have not played a console shooter since goldeneye (yes, i have never played halo) so my stick aiming skills are subpar.Im a good PC shooter player, so i will be able to adjust. I think ill be able to play on friday, but i cant know for sure, and probably wouldnt be drafted anyway. So, count me out for this week. I cant practice tonight cuz ill be at the RAC for the rutgers bball game. maybe next time.edit: if someone wants to draft me as a project, feel free. But right now, i cant finish off anyone and know nothing about the maps or weapons.

I can give you a definite "NO" on the wife playing.

At 11 EST she'll most likely be

A) Sleeping

B) lying on the couch watching HGTV or a movie

So my limited board "cred" is in jeopardy

 
I vote to turn FRIENDLY FIRE ON!!!

We could probably win just by hanging back and letting the other team chainsaw themselves to death (altho I will admit I was guilty a few times myself :bag: )

 
I'm taking off work Friday to prepare for the tournament FE and will be online playing all night Thursday.
:nerd: :D I just got my game, but I stil need to practice. I need to get more comfortable with all the switching of guns/ reloading down. I need to learn all the multiplayer levels as well.

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****
:lmao: :lmao:
 
Ive decided to hire an agent and go pro and enter the draft this friday. As a result I found a profile of my draft status and breakdown on one of the draft pages. Copied it here for any of the four teams to scout me with.

This seriously made me laugh out loud in my class full of kids taking a math test. Thanks!

What means this? :confused:I know what you all about, I see you in the Deadpool all the time. I arrive and say, 'Hi orcinus, dead again? Me too.'
 
ONLY TWO SPOTS LEFT!

If I didn't know any better, I'd say Bonfire was trying to weasel his way into the wives' match.

Nice work with the profile!

TLEF, you know you're taking one of those spots. Sign up already and get it over with.

 
I thought the 4-team tourney was Thurs night -- am I mistaken?

For the record, the Otis-led team (still unnamed) will be on tonight doing some hardcore scouting. The draft board will largely be coming together tonight.

Something to keep in mind tonight when your wife asks you to watch Dances with Wolves with her on TNT...

 
Well, it seems I have pissed off my wife over something. :shrug: I might be available on Friday as a stand-in if the night does not go well. :shrug: :shrug:

 
ASIDE

By the way, for any of you who may be on the fence about whether or not the XBOX is worth buying just for this game alone, another game coming out soon will be potentially the best multiplayer online game EVER.

Team Fortress 2

For those of you who never played the online multiplayer shooter Team Fortress Classic, which is a mod based on the Half Life engine, it was for the PC only at the time and is easily in my opinion the bext multiplayer game ever (even though it doesn't eclipse GoW graphically, it does in gameplay, IMO). This new version 2 of that game makes the characters more "cartoon-like," but attempts to keep the same multiple classes options and the same awesome game play (the capture the flag format is seriously the best thing ever -- I've never seen 18 year olds strategize so hard about anything ever, including about girls).

I probably won't buy another XBOX game until this comes out. Between this and GOW, it will be well worth the price of admission. Just one guy's two cents.

Carry on.

 
Welcome to the party, newteech!

You're just in time for our little tourney/event Friday evening, and we have two spots left. A bunch of us have been playing around the 9pm - 11:30pm CST period, but if you add the FBGs in this thread to your friends list (you'll find the list on the first page and an updated one from me every other page or so) you'll see folks around all the time.

Don't worry about dying helplessly ... that's usually when the fun begins.

Just played some at lunch with no fbg's and came out strong with 3 kills and a down, then proceeded to play the next 7 matches with 2 kills combined. :bag:

You know the FBG move here.Make it so.
Go home tonight, tell her to make me a pie and clean the house, then when Friday comes around have her take me to dinner, but when it is over say let's go home, do her in about 3 minutes, say you have important stuff to do, grab the Doritos and rock the 360 with GoW?
 
i guess ill make myself available for the tourney, but im still sharing an HDTV with the family, so there i chance i wont be able to make it. Still, consider me draftable, and ill try to let you guys know if i cant make it friday night.

Just got a few rounds in. Im getting more accurate with the lancer, and using cover, so im able to hold my own in fair fire fights. But, im constantly getting flanked by shot guns and nades. Having everyone on mics should help that a little, but i think getting a better idea of the map would help a ton.

I definetly wish there was a mini-map with icons to show where your teammates are. It would definetly help.

It is hard to adjust from BF - I keep wanting to spot the baddies I see for my teammates, but there is no Q button to hit. :sadbanana:
 
and by the way, my younger brother is also usng my xbox live account. So if you send me an invite or message and i dont respond, its not an insult, just him playing.

And just a quick FYI - he sucks as a leader of any kind and cannot fly vehicles for crap. :hot:

this has been established. However, he does contest that he placed that spawn beacon before the sentry gun was put there. From what ive seen, he does a decent job as SL. Moves his beacon all the time and gives orders. I think you just caught him on a bad night. And if not, you were still a fool to follow a 13 year old. :ptts: As far as flying, yeah, he sucks. good thing there are no vehicles in GOW. Hell, he's probably better than me right now/ He's got HALO experience.

I would say Halo <> GoW - very different games entirely.

back a few pages there is a post that has all the maps on it, it even shows where the weapons are. If your a true :nerd: you will print these out, laminate them and keep them in front of you while playing so that you know where everything is.
 
I think I have been playing to much. The other night at Home Depot I saw all the chainsaws and thought, wonder what these would look like hanging from the end of my gun?

me too. i had to break an old rake in half to fit it inside a garbage can at work, so i put it up against the wall and curb stomped it.
 
lol. Yeah, you got it bad. Last night I locked myself out of my house, and called in Jack to cut down the door.
