The weekly sessions of 360 game play started off to a decidedly weak start.
Last night’s session of Gears of War was fought between DirtpileFox, whiteh0wler, and Archbishop Xero, and several other unknown soldiers.
The first 3 matches were mano y mano bouts between DirtpileFox and Archbishop Xero. Xero was humiliated in all 3 matches by a dominant Dirtpile. A rivalry between brothers seems to transcend into the gaming world.
The tide seemed to have turned when whitey joined the frey. Two on one: Dirtpile has an obvious disadvantage, right? That’s where you’re wrong. The humiliation continued as Dirtpile piled up the frags against the weakling duo. In a dismal showing, it was 6 rounds to 1 for the victor.
To close out the evening’s play, 2 more matches were played including intarweb outsiders. Xero and Dirtpile against the masses. Saving some face, Xero managed to win a round while Dirt took it all the way home for the win, including rallying from a 3 round deficit.
For those keeping track, some statistics:
- DirtpileFox:
- Matches Played: 5
- Matches Won: 5
- Total Kills: ~45
- Memorable Moment: Headshot on Archbishop Xero from 3 blocks away… using the pistol.
- Archbishop Xero:
- Matches Played: 5
- Matches Won: 2
- Total Kills: 12 (including 4 on Dirtpile)
- Memorable Moment: Boomshot kill on 2 intarweb opponents for a decisive round win.
- whiteh0wler:
- Matches Played: 1
- Matches Won: 0
- Total Kills: 0
- Memorable Moment: Attempted to frag his own teammate… repeatedly.
Join us on Sunday night for another session. Either Burnout: Revenge, Halo 2, or Bomberman Live!


I spent most of the match unable to hear anyone talking, and trying to figure out the controls, since I’d spent months playing EDF (which is quite different).
And I only shot you once on purpose. =)
