Spoils of Gears of War

So last year, Cameron and I went on a road trip for OXM with the folks from Nightmare Armor Studios. They create sci-fi armor out of sheer geek love, and they’d built the armor and weapons from Gears of War, so we arranged a surprise visit to Epic Games and documented the trip. It was a fun, surreal time and everybody went home happy. The article was a hit.

Friday I got an unexpected box in the mail. I opened it and couldn’t believe what I…saw. My very own Lancer!

Christina built it, and Sid painted it. And then Kat photographed it.

Obviously…I’m thrilled.

Naturally, Cliff has one too. I’m totally going to challenge him to a duel.

    That is T3H PWNZ!!! You’re such a nerd, lol.

    Yes, somebody actually reads your blog, and listens to the podcast.

    Oh, and when I was editing my profile on here, it said this at the top of the page:

    “A new version of WordPress is available! Please notify the site administrator.”

    Why wouldn’t it just tell you?

  2. Wow. Must be nice. Color me completely jealous. I guess we know who everyone thinks really wrote the article, eh? :P

  3. Okay, obviously that comes across like sour grapes in cold text. I didn’t mean it like that at all! I’m just jealous. It’s just further proof of what we already thought after meeting the Nightmare Armor folks: they’re just ridiculously cool people.

    Relax, Cam. It didn’t come off as sour grapes. Just that you outed Dan on what everyone already knows. HE NEVER LEARNED TO READ…AND WRITE!

  5. It’s his secret shame. Dan, you weren’t in any after-school specials were you? I bet you and Scott Baio would’ve been peas in a pod.

    I have a fake weapon, you know.

  7. Good luck trying to get that thing on an airplane without having your final destination changed to Gitmo, champ. I’m not afraid of you! ;)

    Very cool. Definitely a nice start if you wanted to dress up as a COG soldier for Halloween.

    That first pic screams: “BE MY MEATSHIELD!!”
