I'm here to make you look good
And you have! Mission accomplished.
Sometime we should have another Infection tournament. They built a really nice map where the humans spawn inside a 'house' and the zombies outside.
I had a whole section about civic pride.

Omnis is on the Fraggin' List. No change there.
So the big GTA news is that some copies of GTA - on both PS3 and Xbox - are locking up right at the start of the game.
Rockstar has absolutely no idea why.
Not good. Not good.

Hmm... There are upsides to only being able to play console games when they hit the home computer platforms.

Does anybody here play Oblivion on the PC, Xbox 360 or PS3? It's amazing.
I play it on the PC where I've modded it up a bit. It's great. I've made two characters and may start a third, but not for doing the same quests. I'm only planning on using one to do the main quest. I'll probably be playing it on and off for a few years.
I just got The Orange Box with a gift certificate I got for Christmas. I got it mostly because I wanted to play Half-Life 2 since I haven't played any of them, but so far I've played Portal (short but great) and Peggle. I'm itching to try Team Fortress 2, it looks like fun even if I'll be annihilated.

Portal!
That is all.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Interesting approach, Gud -- I had a second character for a while (until I, umm, accidentally overwrote her only save file. Le sigh!) but rather than use different characters for different quests, I went for two totally different styles of character: my main girl is all about the stealth, and the second one was made expressly for mindless banging of heads. Great fun, and an utterly different way of playing the game.

Unfortunately it's hard to talk about Portal goodness without spoiling.
I can say that ending song got into my head.

Almost exactly like my two. The stealth and sniping character is a whole lot of fun, but I get through places a lot faster with my brute.
