Gears Of War
I soooo want an XBox 360 to play this! This is the best game ever made. I need this like I need food or air. Daily and plenty.
Update - Sunday, Jan. 7th, 12.18 PM :
I didn’t think it would become such a big deal to just post two clips that have been around for such a long time already. It just looked fun to post them here, after all these long posts I did. But since Randy thinks I’m stealing content from his blog and decided to ‘unsubscribe’, let me rectify the situation here:
Thank you Nathan, for posting this back in November. I saw it back then, but didn’t repost it. It’s cool you posted so many spoofs.
Also, I’ve seen it on The Official XBox site, (also here), and I didn’t link to the hundreds of others because I haven’t found them and don’t have the time to look for them.
Then I wanted to add, for the record, that I honestly missed Randy’s post, I haven’t checked my feeds since the last post I did on Marketing Thoughts, which is January 4th. I just didn’t had the time. I have over 3000 items to read in the ‘Friends’ folder. I check that one less regular. Then when I posted this post yesterday, I started at the top of my feedreader which features the folder of ‘Advertising’ (comes before the folder ‘Friends’ where Randy is) and I saw the commercial linked on AdArena. Since I don’t post YouTube clips, I went to look for that commercial elsewhere, and ended up on DailyMotion, where I also saw the second clip that is posted above. Accidentally, those are the only two official trailers out there that have been linked to from all over the globe, and both are really awesome, so I linked them.
The only thing I didn’t do, and I’ll take the blame for that, is link to AdArena, because I saw the TV commercial there, which reminded me again. And since I’m now more into XBox then when I was still working for i-merge, I decided to blog it because it’s the main reason why I’d try an XBox 360.
Sorry it has to go this way Randy. You of all people should know that I’m a linker. We go back quite some time already. Weird to see how fast things can take a turn. Especially over something silly as this.
The last phrase of your post “You belong with Microsoft”. Dude. What’s up with that? Is that what it’s all about?

It looks good. Colours, story and overall like on PC’s.
Is this game also a part of training for the newbie? ;) I wanna be a newbie :))

Notice you are using DailyMotion instead of the YouTube videos I linked. Just wondering why? Is DailyMotion better?
You should have an employee discount on the 360 ;-)

Hmm. YouTube is owned by Google, and I already had my beef with them when they kicked me out of their service. I never post YouTube clips anymore. Not here, not on my other blogs. It’s a personal choice. Also, I’ve been using DailyMotion for quite some time now, and I must say they’ve become my favorite, until I get an MSN Soapbox invite. Then I’ll start using Soapbox, obviously. :) I totally missed that you linked those clips. Weird. Sorry ’bout that.
Ahmet: gaming isn’t part of the training, but since I’ll have to go talk about XBox 360 too (it’s a product for consumers) I definitely have to check it out to see how the MS Marketplace works, how the communities function and how the games are like. It’s a hard job, but someone’s got to do it. Might as well better be me :)

A 360 would definitely go well next to my Wii. I have some friends who play Gears of War and they all love it, though I have yet to get a chance to play it. I have a lead on a 360 so I might wind up getting Gears if I get the 360.

As soon as you and I get one Jason, I challenge you! (Or we can make a team, depending on how much I suck)

Wow, imagine that. You blogged the exact same two clips as me only 3 days after did the same. What a coincidence. I mean, they are not even new clips, they are months old. And you read me blog. And you blogged the exact same two clips. Not one or the other, but exactly the same two clips. I love flying pigs. Unsubscribed.

Miel,
I know, I’m just having a fun-time and to me was always interesting: how we are all alwyas and again always impressed with new games

You say ‘You of all people should know that I’m a linker.’ You say you sourced it from AdArena. Where’s the link to AdArena? If you didn’t wrong me, then you wronged them. Half dozen or 6?

@Randy: please stop it. No serious, stop it. You’re making a complete fool of yourself. At this point, it doesn’t matter if you’re wrong or right, you simply look like a wanker with an ego-problem.

Too many words, for nothing.
I would like to know more about this game. That was the whole topic about and the title itself.
Also, I believe that Vista and Games will same language speak? :)

To completely forget the above blahblah, I invite you Miel together with Tom to get some serious gaming done at my place.
You bring the game, I take care of cool beers and an even cooler Xbox 360 ;-)
And if we’re tired of gaming we can always watch some TETN !
