Want to Wear a Cowboy Hat in Gears of War 2?

Two days ago, Gears of War 2 level designer Dave Nash introduced players to the "dizzy hat" Easter egg, which appeared to equip all characters with Dizzy's cowboy hat. After a day of intense searching and claims of PhotoShop, Gears of War 2 forum member Grindhouse solved the riddle and uncovered how to unlock the hats. The best part? Unlocking the hats results in giant-hat-wearing corpsers who yell demonic "Yee-haws".

LOL this would go well with a little Ministry- "The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste" in the background!

Got it. Played it. Traded it in. Couldn't care less. It really enjoyed Gears 2 and now it's over. Looking forward to another descent 360 exclusive. Next!

What do you mean that's it?

Just because I don't bow in the direction of Microsoft once a day doesn't mean I'm not a fan of the 360. I loved my 360, back in 2007. So far I've only bought 2 game I though were worth anything in 2008, Fable 2 and Gears 2. Nothing else interested me, but I bought a truckload of games in 2007. That's why I'm disappointed with the exclusives released in 2008 and lack of exclusives geared up for 2009.
4 Xbox 360 consoles will change anyone's gaming habits. With my warranty up, I buy all my multiplatform games on my PS3 because I just know my 360's doomed and I was sick of not being able to play the bulk of my games while my 360 was being "repaired/replaced". I think the 360 would be the best console hands down...if it worked, but as it doesn't I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I've actually talked to people in stores a couple of times and stopped them from buying 360's simply by relaying my experience to them. It's simply not worth the hassle. Hopefully it's fixed now for new buyers - but the crap I went through with mine and the hellish "support" I received from MS will prevent me from ever buying a piece of MS hardware again, and I will continue to share this experience with others as a cautionary tale.

You buy a car and it completely dies on you in 6 months, you'd probably tell someone, even if the company replaces it for free. If it does this twice more, if the company charges you twice for it then won't give you you're money back - damn straight you'd tell everyone you know - and even people you don't.

No, but I want to wear a Cowboy...er, I mean ride a Cowboy....wait a second, strike that.

What I meant to say is that I want to ride a half-cow and half-boy creature -- think Minotaur, only with utters. That way if I ever got thirsty during a ride I could simply milk him and be back on my way. Is that still sick?

Maybe I should still be taking my meds?

Almost as good as the toaster easter egg, and a cowboy hat on a Corpser is hilarious!
