People with too much free time on their hands equals...

(didnt think this should go into the [Official] Gears topic)

The Gears of War Lancer replica is certainly cool to pose with and the Nerf version is definitely... cute. But neither packs the actual killing power of the real-life version with working chainsaw attachment.

A few enterprising gun enthusiasts have gone the extra mile for their bayonets, strapping on 14 inches of chainsaw for proper eviscerating. They call it the "Firearm Mounted Anti Zombie Device" but we know it better as the standard issue Lancer from Epic Games' third-person shooter.

Yes, it works, as proven by the video of the thing in pumpkin-slaying action.

Here is just one of a half-dozen videos of these things laying waste to squashes and tree limbs. We'd definitely recommend not trying any of this at home, especially if you don't have the health regenerative powers or biceps the thickness of Marcus Fenix's.

Wow. :woot: I want one.

Chainsaw isn't as powerful as I'd like it to be, but it'll still do the job on those stubborn tree limbs in the yard. :laugh:

Heh. I can see it now: Ultimate Deer Hunting

"Oh, you didn't die when I shot you, huh?..." :p

I've been to WI (Janesville)...I'm sure that would work real well for hunting up there!

There's another video on YouTube where the guy is showing a close up of the saw part of the gun and the pumpkin guts on it. At around 20-24 secs, you can hear the unmistakeable sound of someone in the background cracking open a canned beverage. :laugh:

I was going to say "aesthetics > performance?" but then I looked at it again and noticed it looks lame and nothing like the lancer.

So... pointless.

That's what I thought when I saw them too. If I were to slap a Lamborghini logo on my Mitsubishi, it wouldn't become a Lamborghini no matter how hard I wished. :p

Remind me to never invite them to the house for dinner, they might offer to cut the Roast Chicken and I like my kitchen table to be in one piece if you don't mind.

Poor attempt at making a Lancer, IMO. Doesn't look enough like one to be called a "Real Gears Lancer".

Agreed. I came in here expecting a frickin' Lancer, and instead I get this poor hack job.

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.

      You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.

      Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?
