Pink Lancers Fight Cancer 2

By Craig “Craigums” Kaufman

Coming in two very short weeks, Dedicated Servers (Formally GOWCharity) is hosting the 2nd annual Pink Lancers Fight Cancer event, a 24 hour Gears of War marathon benefiting the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Last year, Dedicated Servers along with Epic and their pink Lancers raised over $3,000 to benefit Breast Cancer Research and Prevention. This year, we would love to top that amount while continuing to fight breast cancer. The Dedicated Servers crew has expanded Pink Lancers to welcome the Gears of War community, such as The EGFC, GCON, Warhoundz, Epic Games Universe, Gearz and Beers, and many more.

The event starts October 12th (Noon PM EST) till October 13th (Noon PM EST). What should you expect in a 24 hour livestream event? Dedicated Servers will host special guests from the gaming community, play Horde, jump into some random matches, and give away prizes to viewers, as well as people who donate.

If you donate, you will be eligible for our prize raffle, which includes a new Pink Retro Lancer compliments of Epic Games! We will also have prizes you can win from our other sponsors, as well as lots of surprises for those watching. If you want to join in and play Gears, The Epic Games Forum Crew and Gearz and Beers will be hosting lobbies, so make sure to follow http://www.twitch.tv/team/pinklancers for all the livestreams of the event.

Gearscon’s PAX Prime Prize Pack Giveaway

Written by Waldo Kinne, aka WaldoRtk7

PAX Prime starts on Friday August 31st, and Gears Community Online Network (GCON) will be there in full force covering all the Gears of War: Judgment action and all the latest from Epic Games. Also, just like PAX East, we’ll be doing something for those who aren’t able to attend PAX Prime. We’ll giving away some very awesome and rare swag we’ve collected from our travels this year, including a signed Gears of War Board Game by the developers. If that isn’t incentive enough, we’ve also pack a few other choice items inside such as a Chicks Dig The Baird T-shirt, COG Tags, Lambency Stickers, & Gears of War Art Book.

If you are lucky enough to attend PAX Prime, we’ll have some extra swag to give away if you are able to find us out on the show floor. Though be warned, our supplies will be limited! Below are the people to look for at PAX Prime and make sure if you see any of us to say hello and maybe snap a picture! We’ll be retweeting all the images that are sent to the Gearscon Twitter, so if you find some awesome Gears of War action somewhere at the convention make sure to let us know!

Epic Gamer of the Month: Waldo Kinne

Gears of War superfan, GCON member and Epic Gamer Waldo Kinne was flagged down at San Diego Comic Con by G4TV’s Jessica Chobot. Jessica asked if he would get a Gears of War tattoo so Epic Games Director of Production Rod Fergusson would announce the release date of Gears of War: Judgment. Being the fan that he is, Waldo said, “Hell Yeah!”  Tattoo artist Steve Soto, aka “Mister Cartoon” inked the design at Tribal Gear’s HQ.

We want to thank Waldo for being such an outstanding member of the Epic Games community and have chosen him as the Epic Gamer of the month. We will be sending Waldo his choice of a Gears of War 3 Team Metal Lancer, Gears of War 3 Electric Green Lancer or Gears of War 3 Deadly Cute Lancer and an Epic Games swag bag.

Gears of War 3 Lancer
