Nightmare on Elm Street when I was 5. Seeing Tina get dragged through the school in a bloody body bag was...something. Even better, that Halloween my friends mom had a party and hired a friend to dress up like Freddy and hide in the basement. And then sent us down there. The 80s were something...😂

What I really love about Gears E-Day MP is between the movement, the weaponry, and the map design, it feels extremely well balanced already. All weapons are viable. And you don't have to Gnasher rush. In fact, it often gets you killed. That said...sometimes you need to kill a team in 5 seconds.🤘🏼

Great job, Joe. And happy birthday man!

Yard work this morning and Paul always likes to help.

Thanks! It’s definitely tough - takes a lot of practice to do well. But I’ve always loved it.

Absolute classic. It has just a specific vibe to it that has never been replicated.

This is the truth. In application dev, AI-assisted development, AI-assisted code generation, and Spec Driven Code Development (AI writing all the code) are prevalent everywhere already. Not sharing an opinion. Just confirming it’s the truth regardless of it’s talked about openly or not.

That and fucking Beard trying to be young. 😆

Forever the best sport. 🤘🏻

Oh hell yeah! Very tempted to get this one.

I LOVE this. I have an extremely busy career and I've been employed without a single gap since I was 14. Bet that I'm going to spend my time relaxing with something like this once I retire. 🫡

For sure, Gary. It's excellent.

Hell yeah man. It's a great one - enjoy it.

Gears of War means a lot to me for a number of reasons (too much to type here). Being able to review Gears E-Day while also being fortunate enough to celebrate it with friends and cool collectibles has been really special. #Xbox #GearsEday

Very well could be. It looks absolutely marvelous.

😂 For me it's probably the next Halo. Of course that's years away so realistically, it would probably be Fable. I'm so excited for it.

Remain jealous of the ability for the UK to use “cunt” regularly versus it being basically a banned word over here. 😅

It’s insane. Just let people live their fucking lives FFS.

So I sadly see comments on social about the "controversy" that Gears of War E-Day features pride flags. If being inclusive is a "controversy" to you, you need to rethink your priorities. FFS

Had a great time with my friends at @thenerdchatpodcast.bsky.social last night and then, because I'm off of work today, stayed up till nearly 3am playing Gears E-Day multiplayer with some buddies. #Xbox #GearsEDay It's great to have a new Gears game. Like old times!

Sounds like something a nerd would say.

Even releasing on Game Pass, and having a $30 upgrade path on Xbox PC, Gears E-Day has reached #1 selling on Steam. #Xbox #GearsEDay Love to see it. 👏🏼

It's just so exhausting - especially as someone who as advocated for positive gaming coverage for over a decade now.

I agree Arthur (as well as one Gears 6 - comon!) As for collectibles, I'm not sure if it helps at all. But if you turn up the sound, you get the classic collectible sound when you're in the vicinity of a collectible too. That helped me a lot.

I'm not going to share the link as it's not worth it. And I rarely speak on socials about this stuff. But one of the major gaming sites has a headline: "Gears of War E-Day review scores are high, but likely won't stay that way" right at launch. Comon. Gaming coverage can be better than this.

Ask myself this literally every day.

That's good! My buddy I play most shooters with is Mexican and the flag he looked for immediately and was like "WTF?" 😂

020

Oh that’s true. Those are there. But not sure why it forgoes the national flag. 🤷‍♂️

I love E-Day and I can't wait to spend tons of time in multiplayer and Horde. It also has a ton of customization/unlocks at launch which rocks. But perhaps one of the craziest misses I've seen, and people who know Gears will understand, is that they have country flag banners but NO MEXICO. HOW!?
