Slow news day

I'm a little quieter here than I'd like but that's because I'm updating my gaming blog, which at this time has a very restricted readership.

Anyway, I've listed more stuff to sell on half, including a couple of XBox 360 games. Here's the link to the store. I actually sold one of the trade paperbacks, which is surprising. I dropped the prices so that even with shipping it's less than cover price, which I'm sure helps.

I have quit playing Gears of War for the moment. I've run into a maddening snag. As I've mentioned previously I'm trying to play it through on the "hardcore" setting. Well, the mission "Belly of the beast: Tip of the iceberg" is kicking my butt. What's worse is that every time it restarts it's two minutes before I see action, with two conversations and a cut scene that I can't button through.

If I hear Cole say, "Look at all that juice" one more time I'm going to throw my controller through the TV. It wouldn't be so bad if I could save at the point right before the fight starts so I didn't have to sit through two minutes of dead game. I hate cut scenes I can't button through.
