Happy Valentine's Day from Gears of War photo

Epic is giving us all a Valentine's Day gift of... ummm... epic proportions. The guys over at the Epic forums put together a list of experience bonuses that could be implemented as a Valentine's gift to the community, and now they have chosen three that they will be giving unto us Feb. 8 through Feb. 14. The total amount of days hasn't been announced yet, but it will be at least three.

The bonuses we will get? Revives are double points in all game types, Wingman is double normal XP (4x XP) and Horde is double XP. Wooo, points and things. I'm ditching this box of chocolates I got my fiancee and delivering to her three days of me playing Gears of War 2 online. She loves when I totally ignore her to play videogames.

Hearing about this reminds me about the unfitting valentine cards you can get on Walgreens. I remember seeing some about the G.I. Joe movie.

Best thing about those cards are how bad the pun/product writing is. "I only have Snake Eyes for you." "You've Duke'd it out with my heart and now I'm yours to command." "I have a Cobra Commander in my pants."

I am not sure what is the best part of the last one. The "cobra" or the "commander"

This would be great if the game wasn't utter garbage online.

No kidding, I picked up the "all DLC" package cheap last month, thinking a year of updates would have fixed it, but the matchmaking is terrible. Every game comes out like a " Pros vs Pubbs" match where the new kids get stomped. No team balancing at all.

It's a nice gesture, but flogging a dead horse much?

I guess they've just decided to embrace the whole Marcus 4 Dom thing. That's good.
