Glad to see you...

If the gaming industry is an automobile, and the game designers are the drivers, then that makes us, the players, backseat drivers, and we'll be damned if we're gonna let the industry keep on heading the way it's going (good or bad) without letting them know what we think. So buckle up, feel free to complain about there being no air in the back, and bring your most critical and analytical mind to the open air discussion of the current age, Backseat Gamers!

Gears 2 XP Extravaganza

"Not too long ago, Gamer Syndrome reported on an up-coming Gears of War 2 Multiplayer event which was being decided via Twitter by none other than the Gears Viking himself, Rod Fergusson.

If you remember, Rod Fergusson stated that the amount of extra experience points earned would be the amount of his followers divided by 500. For example, 4000 followers on Twitter would equal 8x the normal amount of XP.

Well, Rod Fergusson was blown away when his followers list broke the 10,000 mark in a couple of days and decided to stop it at 20x XP.

That was all we had heard of the event.. until today. Rod Fergusson has today revealed the duration of the event via a Tweet on Twitter:

“So 20x XP SDCC Event is going to run exactly SDCC hours – July 22nd, 12:30 PM EDT till July 25th, 8 PM EDT. Get your wings!”

Also, Rod announced that just like last times XP event, Horde mode will receive a modification during the event. But Epic Games hasn’t decided what will be changed as of yet:

“Yes, we’re going to change Horde too, just haven’t decided how yet.”

As soon as Rod Fergusson announces the alterations with Horde, we’ll be sure to update you all so stay tuned."

  1. Oh, I guess you must have traded in this excellent 360 exclusive for a multi-platform game on PS3 that you formerly played to completion on 360. Don't get me wrong, it makes perfect sense.

  2. Oh wait...nope...I've still got it. It's right here next to "Gears of War" with 2 inches of dust on the case. Can't believe I forgot I owned the 2nd manliest game of all time. Guess that stuff happens when nobody has played it in almost a year.
