My baby has been returned to me!  In celebration, I'd like to hold an official F13 Gears of War Thunderdome Night on Saturday.  Anyone interested?

Absolutely the last person I ever thought would have a cute miniature bear asking for a hug looking at him.

That's Bobo, Mr. Burns' teddy bear!  If you look closely you'll also see that Blinky, the three eyed fish is present as well.

I fear for that Xbox 360's safety.

Oooh, it's part of an evil Mr. Burns set, now I get it.  I thought maybe the fish was a candle!  Whew, okay, everything is back to normal now.  Though the lack of a pistol/knife/ammo being in the shot is disturbing.

Guns and EA Games. It's like I'm back in Prince George's County.

You must have lived in a similar neighborhood as me. Local EBGames news (http://www.ksat.com/news/10873696/detail.html).

I find it funny you're using a TV stand as an equipment stand.. did you used to have a DLP and get it replaced with a big standing rear projection on the left?


Title: Re: My long, dark night of despair is over.
Post by: Signe on January 30, 2007, 12:57:40 PM
One of our stereo stands looks a lot like that except we have more shelves stacked on it.  His TV looks a lot like one of ours, too.  We bought one of those goofy console carts but it's not really big enough for everything.

Bingo.  My old TV got moved to the bedroom.

ETA:  But back to the point of my post...  Anyone up for Gears on Saturday?

You're missing Lost Planet.

What time saturday? Man, I suck at Gears. Heh.

What is mp like for Lost Planet? Big maps, lots of vehicles?

Multiplayer is where it's at for Lost Planet. It prompted Agnarth to buy himself a gold account for Live just for that game.

I haven't picked up Lost Planet because I haven't had my 360 for a friggin' month.  I might just pick it up used eventually, but I need to play catch up right now on some of the games I haven't finished.  And don't worry, I suck at gears too.  I'm thinking around 9:00PM EST on Saturday, but I'm up all night, so we can change it no problem.

I'm usually home by about that time.  I've only had my 360 a couple months and haven't even played Gears online yet, but if I'm around I'm up for giving it a shot.

The front of the TV is very boring.

I wouldn't post pics of your tv here. You might end up with a grief title that will live on far past it's relevance. Since you all love your tvs now, too. I'm like the hdtv christ. I bleed for you.

Your TV is bigger and nicer than mine, so no worries there, El Cristo.  I do not, however, keep mine atop a milk crate.

BG, you have to mod your 360 with a chrome skin. It stands out from everything else (including the gun).

You are aware that the gun doesn't really stay on the entertainment center, right?  I'm a responsible gun owner, I hide it under the baby's crib.

Damn it. *goes to find something to clean Dr Pepper off of his keyboard.*

ETA: Your avatar is the best/worst on F13 right now BG. It makes Signe's typical avatars look sane.

Nope, not a DVR, just the cable box Charter sends out if you subscribe to their HD package.  I wish, though.

Heh.

Seriously though, do it.
