Hopefully Microsoft will fix the 100 friends list limit and increase it in the future. If I was unable to accept your friend request or play with you I apologize as there were so many people that wanted to play. We had many laughs and many k...

On a cold Saturday in Toronto, I ventured down to visit SilverSnail for the first time and I was blown away with what is inside. I was on a mission to buy some Gears of War Comics and action figures, so I didn't get too distracted by all the cool stuff inside. I ended up buying a Marcus Fenix action figure along with Gears of War Comic Issues #2 and #3. Check out the pictures below.
