As someone who is quasi-patient, 12:01 am on Friday is going to be a day that HAS FINALLY ARRIVED. I thought that 11/5 would be the day I was looking forward too the most, because it signaled the end of a 2 year election cycle that drove me bonkers. November 5th also signaled the end of a VERY annoying month long add blitz in the state of a Virginia which also happened to be a swing state. Well, at 12:01 am tomorrow, another highly anticipated day will arrive. What day is that? What could be so important that I couldn’t wait until tomorrow? GEARS OF WAR 2 is released to the general public. Me, for one, am not going to let one minute more than I can help pass without owning that game. Why is this so important? The original Gears of War was the most played game of my life. It wasn’t just the single player that I played a lot, but it was the multiplayer (mp) that I fell in love with. You can point to the wonderful mp game play, but in fact it was the very first game I played with Geezer Gamers. I remember the first time I hopped into a mp game with SparkStalker and McJeepers. I sucked and I sucked bad, but I had fun. Two to three days later I was signed up at GeezerGamers and introduced to fun and enjoyable multiplayer action. It was also when I was introduced into GGSE (Geezer Gamers South East – the Clan). So, in a way, Gears of War 2 is a reminder of how wonderful it is to be a Geezer...that and I can now Chainsaw people at will!
I remember more often than not, getting my ass handed to me by other Geezers in Gears... but still a lot of fun. A few Possums will be picking this up, but it looks like they're more of a Halo/Call of Duty lot. :)
