It seems to go down at least once a day. I think the game became more popular than they expected.

I got in a few rounds before it went kablooee.

OK, I gave it a whirl. Sarcastica is a pupil of Peev.

How come it seems like my brute is the weakest with the fewest weapons at her level?

My brute sucks! Dude has a big old club that gets 20 or so hit points of damage. What's he whip out? A knife. @@

Pete, you'll be happy to hear, I finally cracked open Orange Box. I have no clue how to gauge progress. In the sewers. Manhunters after me. Snagged an uzi-esque gun.

Omnis, the main Half-Life 2 (not including the episodes) took me twenty three hours to complete. It's a great game and I was astonished by how long it is.

Portal is also brilliant, but Team Fortress 2 is my favorite just because it's a team shooter that understands it's about teams and about having goofy fun.
