Unfortunately it's hard to talk about Portal goodness without spoiling.
I can say that ending song got into my head.
Mal: Zoe, why do I have a wife? Jayne: You got a wife? All I got is that dumbass stick sounds like its raining. How come you got a wife?

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.
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.

My favorite character creation game is Warlords. Warlord 4 gives so many different options for hero creation, 'tis ridonkulous. I've got characters who combine brute force with nature magic, nature and fire magic, dragonlords, dark elves, demons, endless possibities. I've run the main campaign through once with one of my heroes after I built him up to about level 20 (he's now at level 54, I don't play him anymore, there's no challenge.) I've got 5 other heroes that I'm in process of beefing up with smaller scenarios until I think they're ready to hit the big time.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Apparently, the GTA4 has landed. That, or knave is teasing the hell out of me by SMS.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

The cake is a lie.

Yep. Pete called me to let me know he has purchased his copy.
The cake is a lie.
Ha! Portal was the only game Pete played in recent memory that I enjoyed listening to.

The following puzzle is impossible. Make no attempt to solve it.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I only know Portal from the song, but the song is enough to make me want to play it. If only I had some sort of gaming console!

Yes, Portal is a wonderful & devious game.
I have GTA IV. It is running on my Xbox.
The opening credits & sequence were beautifully 'filmed'. If this were a film I would know I was about to watch something where the director knew how to actually tell a story.
My in-game cousin has, after I drove very slowly to get used to the controls, informed me that I "drive like a bitch". Ah, good times, good times.
