Note to hardcore gamers: While it might seem like a good idea to wear diapers to a Gears of War tournament, it's not. Seriously. Really, really not.

Funtechtalk.com brings us word of a Fort Collins Gears tournament that went horribly awry over the weekend when a team in the tourney for the popular 3rd person shooter decided adult diapers were part of their uniforms "in case of emergencies."

One unlucky 16-year-old drank many caffeine-laden energy drinks, then suffered an uncontrollable gastro-intestinal event in his Depends. He was asked to leave the tournament; the stink was too much for his competitors.

Rather than slink away in shame, to remain a virgin in for the rest of his life, the crappy dude complained to the police, who were thus alerted to the contest, which turned out to be an illegal paid gathering. The cops shut everything down, and all the Gears players were like, "Damn. that sucks."

Moral of the story: No matter how 'leet you are at Gears of War, they'll only remember the part where you crapped your pants.
