Worst. Clan. Ever.

Playing Modern Warfare 3?  The game's broken virtually every metric of success for not just videogames -- but across entertainment overall -- so, it's pretty safe to assume you are.  The game's a gorgeous thing, its narrative making me well up a few times, and the multi-player is incredibly self-aware and nuanced.  But I'm not going to write a love letter to MW3.  No.  Instead, I'm going to formally announce the start of the worst clan in Modern Warfare history.

Fanboys and fangirls, the good folks at ReedPOP and Reed Exhibitions have banded together to start [RXUS].  This clan, composed of Reed employees who fancy themselves warlords and nation builders in their off hours, is now online and getting its ass swiftly handed to it by twelve-year-olds.

If you spot a member of RXUS online, please be gentle.

Seriously, it's long been a pet project of the team to start up some regular playdate with fans, whether sanctioned by Xbox LIVE or not, and we're hoping RXUS is the first step toward something bigger.  The PAX guys regularly privately play online, but the larger team only had one internal playdate I can think of.  It was pretty fun, despite Settembrini spending the entire night camping. Well, fingers crossed something becomes of RXUS and we can build some legit online gatherings out of it. 

Until then, I'll be the guy you just destroyed with an ACR.
