What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Ha ha ha ha. Looks like Ryan North heard the news.

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.

Hi Peeve! I get to see Jilli tomorrow. Wish you were here too.
And, uh... I like gaming and stuff.

Well, look who showed their face in this part of town!
Do not mock me about seeing the Jilli. It has been a long weekend of interminable deadlines and dead lawnmowers.

What game requires you to frag a lawnmower??
23 hours for you!!!???!!! Frack. That's gonna take me a good 50. Too bad there is no map thingie to get a sense of progress.
Soooo. Since I didn't get any pupils in Brute, and not satisfied with only 3 fights, I made some pupils. My fav is the brute who has knife & sharp weapon skills, and no weapons. Why is that site so addictive?
Sean. Welcome back. Missed ya.

MyBrute is a fine game. I've gotten one guy up to Level 7 and he's facing some wacky powers.
Still, he gained a piledriver wrestling move that does - on average - 84 points of damage. Insane!
Actually, watch this extremely short fight to see the piledriver in action: [link]

watching that video, all I could think was, first the dude gets pile driven for a ton o points, then the little dog nips at his heels. Suddenly I had the wicked witch of the west "and your little dog Toto too!" cackle in my head.
ION, Pete. Help. I'm at a point in Orange Box. Stuck. Room of barrels and ladders and big pipe/conduits. I suspect I got to go through the little HVAC hole up high in the wall, but can't seem to jump to it. When ever I try to move a barrel, it lands on the side and rolls around, not so good for the climbing on. In the other room, is just a big drop down 20-30 feet to water with pipes and schtuff, and a view to another chamber. any idea what I'm talking about? Any tips would be welcome. Did I say 50 hours? Make that 75.
