Stranded: Gears of War 3’s opening scene

This is the opening to Gears of War 3, which very briefly retells the events of the first two titles while setting up this latest installment. Suppose I was bound to stop watching that .GIF of Cliff Bleszinski getting celebratory Gears-themed cake on his nose eventually.

If for some reason you’re on a media blackout (Do people actually do that for this series?), I wouldn’t worry too much here — it’s basic information on what went down between the previous game and now. Spoiler warning: they give away the origin story for the Lancer with spray paint on it.

Doesn’t do much for me personally, but I am really looking forward to the single-player portion of Gears 3.
