    So, Gears of War lived up to my expecations extremely well.  I consider it to be the best game currently on the Xbox 360.  The Co-op story mode is incredibly fun and the multiplayer is fast paced, yet calculated and tactical.

    There are a few bugs here and there connection-wise, but I am very pleased with the overall experience.  I had Dan and Ryan over for some network gaming and it ruled.  They both loved cutting each other up with the chainsaw guns.  My new favorite is the Torque Bow.  Shooting the exploding arrows into your opponents, then watching their bodies suddenly fly apart in thick chunks of flesh and smoke....well, it's extremely satisfying.  

    I wish I was home playing right now, but alas, I have to work to pay for all these games I play.  I am running a tournament in this game for my clan on Saturday and the prize is a Gears of War t-shirt.  I am pretty excited.

    I was in for a shock when I got to work tonight.  My partner briefed me on the goings on of the day and told me that someone at Sam's Club had gotten pinned by a fork lift.  It was a 23 year old female, and she had to have her foot amputated.  Well, Lindsey works as Sam's Club, is 24 years old, and I hadn't been able to reach her on her cell phone today.  They didn't have a name of the victim, so I was worried as shit until I got ahold of Lindsey and made sure it wasn't her.

    And that's about my week.  I haven't really had much else going on.

    If I didn't mention it enough times, Gears of War is awesome.
