[9 to 5]

Saturday is the only day I am possibly free.

[King Ellis]

I haven't heard anything of a weekend event for Gears. Maybe if we can wrangle up more people for the full 5 for Horde/Beast?

Also, the info on the Impossible Mission is supposed to come out today for Gears/

[9 to 5]

Yes, full Horde/Beast with me as host is of great interest to me.

So that me, Ellis, Benji and Bret Hart? Ruki? Maxx?

[King Ellis]

Baddar?

[9 to 5]

nohomo?

EDIT - Here is your weekend event news Ellis.

Are you ready for Blades and ‘Nades KOTH? No you won’t be skating around Old Town on your ice skates, you’ll be charging with your Retro Lancer and tossing your Frag Grenades into the ring. The Snub will be replaced by the Gorgon for some close up action. In your loadout, you will have the Retro Lancer and the Gorgon and all grenade pickups will be replaced with Frag Grenades. This is certain to be one explosive playlist! Don’t forget, we’ve added a visual indicator pointing out the next ring in Title Update 2 released earlier this week.

[Baddar]

I started the Gears story the other day. S'alright, and it doesn't seem to be too hard to get to grips with the buttons. As for me being on your team, it'll depend on when. Tomorrow's difficult, and if I end up watching the PPV, Sunday will be even harder because my nephew will be here.
