I have a new happiest moment in gaming history.
Gears of War Judgement features a playable character known as the "Epic Reaper" - This character is only playable by Epic employees and one hand selected active community member a week.
Last night EPIC hosted a community event called "Reaper Hunting" - Thousands of players tuned into Twitch.TV between 7-9 PM for a chance to take on an Epic Reaper and his team of Undead Onyx Guards.
After an hour and a half of tweeting and chatting to try to get in, I managed to get in on the very last game of the night.
The best part? One kill away from the Reaper team winning I managed to get his ass.
Once you kill the Reaper you get an awesome in game medal and animated weapon skin. It's a huge honor to kill one of these, but it's even cooler to do it in front of THOUSANDS of people.
You guys have no idea how happy this made me. Here is the live stream. Skip to the 1:58:00 mark for my starting lobby and watch them mercilessly destroy my team, until the final moment where I manage to snag that god damn reaper.
Keep in mind the Reaper has the ability to levitate while falling, leap great distances (think thruster pack in Halo 4), has a insta-kill melee and is extremely hard to kill!
I'm so fucking happy.
(Note: I also get a double headshot on the employees while I was being rushed with a chainsaw. You can see it while the Reaper is respawning at the 2:00:33 Mark. Luckiest shit ever, just watch the kill feed at the bottom left!)
Thanks for checking it out guys! Hope you enjoyed it! My mild panic attack knows I did!
