How Funny Is It..

that I make a post saying how I'll be back in action, and then I skip a day. Sorry my life was a weird mess yesterday. I tried playing Half Life 2 again yesterday, and I got kind of far, but man I still hate it with a fiery hot passion. My guess is because I am playing it on the 360 and not a PC. I was even thinking about trading in my 360 copy for a PC copy. I don't know I am going to give it another shot tonight and if I can't get at least to the next level I am going to give up on it. I hope I don't have to, but I am just not enjoying myself at all. It has it's moments and I see where people see it's brilliance, but it's just too....puzzleish for me. It gets hard, and there is no clear cut direction to solving the hard parts other than repeating parts over and over again. That's not fun to me.

Oh well does anyone have any advice for me? I am on the part where you drive the buggy and I just got done walking under the bridge, but then I get surrounded by guards and I die. Any tips?
