Based off of the popularity of the Playdate we will be starting game nights each weekend and throughout the week.

Our first game night will be this Friday at 9Est-playing Left4Dead either Co-op or Versus.  If you would like to participate in this game night, please sign up here with a comment.  Include your gamertag as well so that we can invite you.  This game night is INVITE ONLY so you must sign up.  If you are willing to host a room as well please include that in your comment.

UPDATE:  Winner of Blue Dragon for the 360 is BIG DEZ.  Send your address to preacher(at)christian-gaming.com.

It’s been a crazy week here at HCG Central. Most of the presents have been unwrapped, the turkey and ham have been eaten and Grandpa is still passed out on the couch from his food coma.
So as you play your games, listen to your iPods or workout on your Wii Fit we just want to remind you of a few things.

-HCG Community Playdate. 28 December (Sunday) at 8pm Eastern time. If you have COD:WAW just be online and we will send you an invite. Look for one from someone with SOG in their name.

Following suit with our recent giveaways, I thought I’d jump in on this action too. If anyone has yet to use an Xbox 360 chat pad, I would encourage you to do so. I got one on Christmas eve, and I absolutely love. Fortunately for me, I received another one on Christmas day. What better idea than to give it away to one of my brothers or sisters here at HCG. So, in the comments section, tell me what the best gift you got this year was and why. Don’t be all inspirational. We know that Jesus is the reason for the season and His birth was the best gift of the holiday. Tell me what cool stuff you got!

There aren’t many opportunities like this one in life, so I highly encourage anyone that is within reasonable driving distance to participate.  Husky Beast is going to be hosting a Meet and Greet during the Superbowl and Dave and Busters.  Here are the rest of the details, and if you would like to know more, sign up on the forums and PM Husky Beast.

DaveandBusters

Wanna play Halo 3 with HCG?  Tonight at 8pm Central send a message or friends request to SOG Froobin or Twispby and tell them you want to play.  The games are invite only so please make sure you give the guys a heads up so they can get you in the room.

After weeks of deliberation, and tons of quality entries- it’s time to announce the winner of the Chicken Sword Ultimate Fan of Complete Ultimateness contest!

Blood was spilled, emotions flared, and entries were poured over, all in an effort to determine who is Chicken Sword’s most epic fan.

The final tally wrought such deliberation and facepalm-inducing dialogue that voting became more like the Civil War, and less like an episode of Sesame Street.
