Think you can take down Shoe, Demian, and the Bitmob crew? Now's your chance to prove it.

Join us for a few hours of mayhem on Friday, Sept. 30, at 6 p.m. PST/9 p.m. EST as we shoot the hell out of Locusts, Lambents, and each other in Gears of War 3. 

And because every good soldier needs good allies, Jason Bertrand and Ryan O'Donnell from AREA 5 will be playing, too. Even better! 

We'll be battling throughout the evening, so drop by whenever you like. You'll want to look for these gamertags:

• Dan "Shoe" Hsu: Bitmob Shoe
• Demian Linn: Bitmob Demian
• Jasmine Rea: ReAg3nt
• Rus McLaughlin: Sybarat

If you're new to Gears of War 3, you're in luck: Bitmob community writer John Michael has spelled out some basic multiplayer tips just for you. And other community members have been pumping out great articles for our Bitmob Wants You callout, as well.

So read up...then lock and load. We'll be waiting.
