General Raam is dead! Again.
Whoopee! I finally made it through Gears of War on Insane. My skills improved a lot, but slowly. It took 19 days to finish the last Act, mostly trying to whack Raam. I spent an hour or two most days, starting play at around midnight. At the end, I was out of grenades and ammo for the Torque Bow and had just a couple of shots left for the Longshot sniper rifle. Raam cooperated this time by standing pretty much still. I think this was, in part, because I was hitting the active reloads perfectly most of the time and using grenades and the Torque Bow to blow the Kryll off him so as to get clean shots with the rifle. And, I didn't have to make the difficult run to the other end. I did it all from my original position. Now, I've got 27 of 49 Achivements unlocked for 550 points. More points would require online play and that takes a Gold account which costs money. I'm not ready for that...yet. See Gears of War at the Wikipedia for the scoop on the game. So, now what?
