[HuskyCOGtnt118]

The statue is made by the lead art designer of gears

[panserkjempen]

i used to play gears but then i took a torch bow arrow 2 the knee

[SingaporeanDUDE]

I saw a Epic edition gears 3 but decided to buy the regular gears 3 cos the epic edition cost about $80 and the regular cost about $40 :/

[Zlofpgu]

can we still get this?

[madskillzdotcom]

@Zlofpgu Thanks for your question. I did, in fact, see a couple Epic editions of the game at a Gamestop near my house. Check with your local retailers. Thanks for watching!

[samoyedcentral]

@Zlofpgu you can probably get it on amazon

[NoodleKing8]

@Zlofpgu It's $99.99 on Amazon.com.

[TheFlopaSkaters]

HEY WHATS THE CODE FOR ADAM FENIX

[madskillzdotcom]

@TheFlopaSkaters It's on the back of the COG medal. It unlocks the Adam Fenix MP skin. It's been redeemed ;)

[YourFace148]

@panserkjempen Gay, just gay.

[MarleyboroCinema]

but anyway...

[Rodge133]

did anyone notice the codeon the back of the cog whats that for

[Sloppern]

@mastergamerOO1 Some stores might have some left. I know one store here in Norway has some left. Costs only 400 NOK / 51 € / 70 $. Kinda want to buy it but i don't know :p

[93394348]

Nice review. I like how you were yourself and was careful of evrything

[mackdady2173]

how much was this



[madskillzdotcom]

@mackdady2173 Microsoft sent it to me for review for the newspaper I work with - the Houston Chronicle in Houston, Texas.

[LinkinparkGreenday1]

@madskillzdotcom were you able to keep it?

[TheJunk64]

the sattelite is the hammer of dawn

[TheJunk64]

sattelite is the hammer of dawn

[madskillzdotcom]

@TheJunk64 Yes, I know. Thanks for the update.

[TheJunk64]

@madskillzdotcom

thx for being one of the nice people who dont turn around and go I DONT GIVE A F@#K

[fablerockerj]

[TheJunk64]

@fablerockerj

[oHaiinexD]

@fablerockerj TROLOLOLLOLOL

[fablerockerj]

[samee0101]

"so this is... just a letter"

JUST A LETTER!? that was not just a letter!!

that was awesomeness on paper...

[madskillzdotcom]

@samee0101 I know, I know ... thanks for watching and thanks for your comment.

[fanofclevver]

how are you calm , oyu got EPIC edition EARLY

[madskillzdotcom]

@fanofclevver +1 for not saying jack about my nails and for being able to READ. Thanks for your comment.

[XCOGX1]

ok im not jealous that you got the game early im just sayin that you should admit that you have a job which includes gaming

[madskillzdotcom]

@XCOGX1 Ummmm, I state CLEARLY in the info that I work for a newspaper. Did you not read that? Where did I say I was a private citizen?

This: M4d Ski11z of the Houston Chronicle unboxes Gears of War 3: Epic Edition.

If you read over this, it's not my fault. Thanks for playing ;)

[robotskater143]

i got the limited edition... not all that worth it

[madskillzdotcom]

@robotskater143 Depends on who you ask. I'd pay $150 for it. A lot of people love the extra swag. It's not as impressive as the Halo: Reach Legendary Edition, but it's still pretty sweet. Thanks for your comment.

[cartoonman4427]

102 people suck

[madskillzdotcom]

@cartoonman4427 LOL. They just haters. ;)

[soulreaperx7x]

I'm giving you a thumbs up cause I love Gears Of War 3, but your video was really boring man. I actually stopped it around half way through cause it was boring. You should be more hyped up man.

[madskillzdotcom]

@soulreaperx7x Thanks for your comment. I am a professional journalist. I have to be balanced - and while I did enjoy the game and was excited about getting the game mucho early, I have to stay somewhat calm. It's not that I am a huge fan of the series - I love the series and really loved the game that was a huge inspiration - kill.switch. However, this is an unboxing. I will keep it calm until further notice. I do see where you are coming from. Thanks for your comment.

[cheesythegreat]

gears of war 3 virginity edition

[madskillzdotcom]

@PragmaticDany I know, but your moms said she needed them to trim her whiskers. Meow. Lol.

[Asshole1202]

damn i just play gears with u capture the leader im irish1809 xD

[jessedrew45]

your a boss plus Skyrim collectors Edition ?

[madskillzdotcom]

@jessedrew45 LOL. Thanks for your comment. I talked to Bethesda about it. When I get it, I'll most definitely do an unboxing. Thanks again for your comment.

[MrJoemullins]

how much did this cost? did you get this for free to show in this video

[MrJoemullins]

how much did this cost did you get this for free to show in this video

[MrJoemullins]

how much did this cost did you get this for free to show in this video????!

[madskillzdotcom]

@MrJoemullins It was sent to me on loan from Microsoft. When they ask for it back, I'll send it. Thanks for your comment.

[squaredread]

@madskillzdotcom Last Time you cut your nails?

[madskillzdotcom]

@squaredread Yes, I cut my nails.

[hevyAccel]

So if I haven't played 1 and 2, is 3 a game I can play? Or will it not make sense without knowing 1 and 2?

[qmarkr333]

@hevyAccel it would make alot more sense if you knew the back story of the previous games but there is a video actually in the game for people who havent played the other two in order to fill them in on whats happened. Its an awesome game, you for sure should get it.

[halofan8100]

@hevyAccel yes you need to play 1 and 2 first.i got two before i got 1 and the story diddent make sence untill i beat the first.or you cn get three and google the story it should be a wiki link.

[hevyAccel]

Damn! It's almost a game just trying to get to the game!

[madskillzdotcom]

@hevyAccel Thanks for your comment. LOL.

[monstersgamingshow]

is this game so good that someone that didnt like 1-2 will really like gears3?

[madskillzdotcom]

@monstersgamingshow If you didn't like Gears of War or Gears of War 2, you won't like Gears of War 3 much.

[monstersgamingshow]

@madskillzdotcom ok just wonderin cuase people say gears 3 will make people that didnt like it love it and i didnt want to trust that.

[FatherTime19921]

sfigato!!!!! tagliati le unghie!!!!

[BlackZeepa0415]

Your amazing man!! I love your vids you should make more unboxings!! Whats your gamertag

[madskillzdotcom]

@BlackZeepa0415 Thanks for the comment. I'm chrongamer on XBOX Live and PSN.

[EdWaRdEoDB118]

YOUR REALLY COOL MAN p.s. so getting that soon!

[madskillzdotcom]

@EdWaRdEoDB118 LOL. Thanks for your comment. I normally get games before release so I can have a review ready for the paper. It's an awesome game. Loved it. ;)

[glitchesandmods1]

[Ninjabob64]

You should make more unboxing vids!!!! Whats your gamertag it would be a honor to play with you.

[kgfizzle66]

BIG BABAAAY!

But for real though, we should like play some horde or something sometime. :)

[madskillzdotcom]

@kgfizzle66 LOL. Fo sho, though I have so many games to review, after I review it, I rarely return to it unless Microsoft sends me some DLC for it.

[kgfizzle66]

@madskillzdotcom

GT:EZ C4k3

[madskillzdotcom]

@kgfizzle66 Adding you, homie. Much love - Ski11z and check out my other videos too. Tell your peeps!!!

[kgfizzle66]

@madskillzdotcom Getting my gold back in about a week, keep your stuff coming. I got a load of niggas that'll watch it.

-Cheers

K

[madskillzdotcom]

@kgfizzle66 That's a bet. I will add some Forza 4 gameplay Monday with the Kinect.

[kgfizzle66]

@madskillzdotcom Oh shit! Can't wait mane.

[InSorteDiaboIi]

I really hate how shit manuals are now for some games. They aren't even manuals anymore

[FableAlbion]

@InSorteDiaboIi HEY! its saving the environment!! no im jk i completely agree lol

[madskillzdotcom]

@leb4lyfe1 Thanks for your comment. No, it's not plastic - it feels like some type of rubbery skin over the box. It's legit. You get the same box in the Limited edition as well.

[21rigger]

how much was it

[madskillzdotcom]

@21rigger Thanks for your comment. The Epic Edition will set you back $149.99 and change. Microsoft sent it to me for review. When they say send it back, back it goes.

[madskillzdotcom]

To the clowns who continue to tell me to cut my nails - I approve all the comments - it's an exercise in futility. I am not allowing any comments that aren't related to the unboxing or the like.

[MW2bored]

the ''satellite'' was blueprints to hammer of dawn

[madskillzdotcom]

@MW2bored Yes, I realized that. Thanks for your comment.

[LilGrimmy54]

i think you are supposed to put Markus in the middle of that cardboard thingy that protected it

[bocajbee]

I jelly :/

[bocajbee]

I jelly. :/

[bocajbee]

I jelly, I only got limited.

[ThaWeedKing]

you should put a Price tag in the Discription now that would be Useful

[madskillzdotcom]

@ThaWeedKing I will add it. Thanks for your comment.

[MrPJVidz]

i think that is worth the extra money

[madskillzdotcom]

@MrPJVidz I agree and thanks for your comment.

[SaintSantiXIV]

YES i got Gears Of War 3 at sears because those people are RETARDS YES!

[SlyStrikerFTW]

[madskillzdotcom]

[SlyStrikerFTW]

@madskillzdotcom thanks man :D np

[iaanBast95]

@SlyStrikerFTW im jealous too but i aint gonna dislike

[iaanBast95]

@SlyStrikerFTW im jealous too but i aint gonna dislike

[iaanBast95]

[SlyStrikerFTW]

@iaanBast95 thats cool man i know not everyone unfortunately can get the limited edition but at least you didnt dislike it out of jealously good on you :D

[onlinegamer453]

the shematic is the hammer of dAWN

[xXDarkLegend16Xx]

im sorry but you have THE most wrinkly skin on your hands!

[SticKHeadshot]

No body fucks with the COG

[ASSASSIANScreed546]

yeah thats a good way to unbox it drop it upside down.....cool vid thou

[elite3661]

how much would this cost in english money

[madskillzdotcom]

@elite3661 $149.99 plus tax U.S. Can't confirm other country's prices.

[deakon452876]

@elite3661 how u get it 7 days early?

[madskillzdotcom]

@deakon452876 Thanks for your comment. I think this comment was for me. I cover video games at the Houston Chronicle.

[deakon452876]

@madskillzdotcom yes t was how u get it 7 days early?

[madskillzdotcom]

@deakon452876 I get video games before release so I can have reviews for the video games done for the paper. Thanks for the comment. I am playing through RAGE and Forza 4 right now. Check out my other unboxing videos.

[xLW321]

@elite3661 it ill be bout 120- 130 i think :)

[SlyStrikerFTW]

@elite3661 im from Scotland man and i would say around £60 to £70 (just a guess but its difficult to say i just bought the normal edition

[Shadowx011]

Pretty cool stuff to have especially for major "Gears of War" fans...however, I think every game that one pays extra for to have extras included there should always have a bonus disc showing how they made the game...original concepts, etc.

[madskillzdotcom]

@Shadowx011 I agree with you on the bonus disc. The artbook is cool, but a disc with bonus content, videos and the like should be required, especially at this price point. Thanks for your comment!

[theswurve69]

my testament and stuff came wrapped inside of the cog flag and the thing that surrounds the statue is just like the halo 3 legendary edition and reminds me of the halo reach legendary edition, but it would have been cool if they made a cog helmet like they did with the halo 3 and killzone 3 hellghast edition i wish i could have gotten the epic edition ps i subed :D

[madskillzdotcom]

@theswurve69 The COG helmet would be awesome, but think about it - aside from Carmine, all of the main players NEVER wore helmets. I think the approach is sweet - however, I would have loved-loved-loved to see a toy lancer with simulated blades that appear to move. Thanks for your post!

[theswurve69]

@madskillzdotcom oh hey you know they do have toy retro lancers that are pretty big for sale for like 100 dollars i think, i would have gotten the epic edition if it had more stuff but a statue just isnt worth the extra 70 bucks so i had to pass on it. oh did you use your infected omen skin because i really want one :D

[Dylaneggs]

HOW WAS THIS UPLOADED ON THE 13TH WHEN THE GAME CAME OUT ON THE 20TH!!!!!??!!!!!!

[madskillzdotcom]

@Dylaneggs I cover video games for one of the biggest newspapers in the U.S. I often get games before release. I should be getting Forza 4 shortly.

[Dylaneggs]

@madskillzdotcom Thats pretty cool.

[3daysgrace121]

I'm putting all this in my parents basement; Codename:Man Cave

[joshandseb]

Good vid

[madskillzdotcom]

@joshandseb Thanks a million! I am still very new to the unboxing video world. As I get more practice, I'll drop the 'So anyways' and keep my nails trimmed. ;) Thanks for the comment!

[joshandseb]

@madskillzdotcom well it convinced me to get the game otherwise i wouldnt have :P and the so anyways arnt a big deal :P

[madskillzdotcom]

@joshandseb Wow, thanks for your comment. I am honored!

[horizontalearthquake]

Awesome unboxing dude

[madskillzdotcom]

@horizontalearthquake Thanks for the comment!

[warboy56]

Please post it loved ur vid Wana play

[englishclub101]

idk if this worth $150

[AmFlyingPhoenix]

Dood you gave an awesome unboxing, ignore the ignorant and immature comments and keep doing what your doing:]

[madskillzdotcom]

@AmFlyingPhoenix Thanks so much for the props. I will get better with more practice. I am hoping I can score MW3 early but Activision didn't say much. Maybe BF3, huh?

[LoganStalker389]

don,t break it know

[Tryana103]

I'm not even interested in consoles.

Someone should log into their own accounts.

[MexicanSuperFreinds]

is this supossed to light up or glow in the dark cause my one doesn't

[hariii070809]

@MexicanSuperFreinds

You're supposed to keep it in the light or sun for a while so that the imulsion and the lights on marcus fenix's armor can glow in the dark.

[bigl723]

Good unboxing homie

[DahMuffinMan]

u say "So" alot jus sayin lol

[Gihaal]

I like your voice

[Tezarious]

It's the Hammer Of Dawn Sattelite.

[gunsliger599]

All I want is all the codes

[thegosquad]

rofl why you guys looking at his nails? is his nails more interesting then the game?

[dyllman5]

it also lights up:P

[oGTrystan]

He most likely has long nail's because he play's guitar? If not that's fine there nail's? Try not to cry to hard kid's.

[henrikroxs]

spoiled

[TheScienceiscool]

Fucking amazon, they have not shipped mine yet

Delivery Estimate: Oct 4 2011 ya, thats great service Amazon!

[padaliny]

COME OUT LANCER DAMN  YOU!

[FMJUnlocked]

Cut your nails.

[ryansas]

can you talk a little faster damn

[madskillzdotcom]

@ryansas I was operating off 4 hours of sleep. 

[SwizzedOut]

Where is the code for adam fenix i couldnt find mine?

[madskillzdotcom]

@SwizzedOut It's on the back of the COG medal if you bought the limited or Epic edition of the game. You access the skin via the options menu.

[SEAnimeForever]

@madskillzdotcom If U don't mind me asking why is it called "Gears" of war? I don't play shooters that much. I think the special Gears 360 system & controller looks awesome

[madskillzdotcom]

@SEAnimeForever That's a good question. I can ask Microsoft about that, but from my understanding, Marcus and his group of soldiers are called COGS. Cogs in RL turn gears. Thanks for your comment.

[SEAnimeForever]

@madskillzdotcom hmm interesting... let me know how the story concludes after U finish the game :) I think this 360 vs PS3 war is silly thing to argue over :) I have all 3 feel free to watch my system collection video if U wish

[playernumber2001]

xbox is so cool we got halo we got call of duty early and better and gears of war series ps3 sucks ballz

[MrRuMaAr]

@playernumber2001 uh shut the fuck up. why cant you just like both. i do. plus ps3 has a lot more exclusives.

[Tryana103]

@playernumber2001 Yet, ANOTHER XBOX fanboy, get on with it, you like XBOX, okay. You don't like PS3, just shut up, you don't need to bash it. Think rationally, I hope you're not a troll trying to troll, if you are "unsuccessful troll is unsuccessful" And if you're someone under 16, please understand the concept of "internet". You bash a console, a flame war starts. A PS3 is not superior, but also not inferior, same with the XBOX not superior, not inferior.

[playernumber2001]

@Tryana103 i wasnt starting a console wars but fact are facts anyways i like the ps3 too but like xbox better peace no console war :)

[08posdom]

how did you get it so early?

[M21cat]

@08posdom HOLY SHIT I JUST LOOKED AT THE UPLOAD DATE WTF THATS NOT POSSIBLE!

[madskillzdotcom]

@08posdom I cover video games for a major U.S. newspaper, the Houston Chronicle.

[ThePhreshGamer]

@madskillzdotcom holy shit how do you get a job like that?

[WarriorOO1]

I bought the halo reach legendary edition and i was so happy that day but let me tell you, all that stuff like the will and the artbook wont entertain you like the game will. But i have bought the gears 3 console simply because of its memory.

[lmnk7]

I want 2-day XBOX LIVE pass.

[AlphaX500]

the epic edition kind of looks like a waste of money. didnt come with anything too cool.

[MrXBlAzEx]

my nigga cut your nails

[illimino001]

got the game

AWEOSOME

[TheBL00DAssassin]

@IGeTsNiPeZz GoW 2 is fucking awesome, but Matchmaking is a piece of fucking shit: Searching for players... *10 minutes later* PLAYER FOUND *only one more player* Resetting search... Searching for players... *30 minutes later* Searching for players... PLAYERS FOUND Gears of War 2 *loading* You have been disconnected because the connection to the host was lost, i hope they fixed GoW 3's matchmaking :3

[projectsik]

Nail clippers, they don't cost much.

[kornkid22]

Hey to the person that made this video everyone waiting in line in California said u take too damn long opening shit up!

[TechKanon]

[JayBont]

[IllegalShadow760]
