The Zone

Pictures of last year's (such an original witty remark!) Gears of War New Year gathering. Fist thumping and guitar jamming pics inside.

The competition doesn't start for another hour or so, yet there's already a crowd.

Blake and chapree (?) jamming it up on Guitar Hero II.

I didn't realise I look that serious when playing Guitar Hero II.

Spotted: an Xbox 360 with an awesome-looking clear casing mod. God I want one so bad.

The first team to battle!

Bloodthirsty crowd revelling in the amount of virtual blood and gore being spilled. Scary.

Everybody's still friends with each other after the matches! ...Maybe. 

The GaX team goes up against Gamer's Hideout team!

After the comp, uncle Blake gives a heartwarming speech about how chainsawing an enemy behind their back inculcates friendship, love, and peace on earth.

Special Q&A session yielded Xbox 360 goodies for Gamer's Hideout members.

One of the lucky winners posing his mug for the camera!

Obligatory zany group photo!

Thanks to everyone who came to the gathering and made it a blast. Hope to see you guys more in the future!
