We have a sneaking suspicion that Epic Games' Joe Graf may actually be a real-life hobbit in disguise, because he's giving everyone else presents on his birthday.
In celebration of his 42 years of being alive (as well as that whole American freedom thing), Epic Games has turned Gears of War 2 (http://www.joystiq.com/game/Gears-of-War-2)'s XP knob all the way up to 21-times-normal from now until 9 A.M. EDT on July 5th.

The game has also been tweaked to provide 4-times the normal amount of ammunition for the Hammer of Dawn, as well as the mortar, so those without fireworks can have almost as much fun blowing things up in their living rooms over the holiday weekend. Virtual things, we mean ... let's not nuke the coffee table, alright?

Dont misinterpet my tone as being a butt hole but i dont do news research on the weekends. The only time ill post news on the weekend if its really big news like if a major game gets canceled. Or if a really popular game gets announced. But double xp or triple xp isnt really big news.

extra ammo is cool but could care less about xp. Got my rank rest last year so gave up playing gow2 to reach 100.
