I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

EVEN BETTER.

Crap. Now I need to finish Dragon Age, and then Mass Effect. I've been too busy to play computer games, maybe I need to reprioritize.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

It will also include a co-op campaign.

IT WILL ALSO HAVE A MAC VERSION

A couple of choice, spoilery bits of GlaDOS dialog from the Portal 2 article:

When you meet GLaDOS for the first time in P2:

"Oh, it's you... It's been a really long time. How have you been? I've been really busy being dead. You know... after you murdered me? Okay look, we both said a lot of things that you are going to regret. But I think we should put our differences behind us. For science. You monster."

From a later Aperture Science Labs Test Chamber introduction:

"We're a lot alike, you and I. You tested me. I tested you. You killed me. I -- oh, no, wait. I guess I haven't killed you yet. Well. Food for thought during this next test."

"I've got a gun! I've got a mother-flippin' gun!" - Moss, The IT Crowd

Oh, hilarious, wonderful dialogue.

For me, the big news out of Valve is that Steam is coming to the Mac. This will mean I will be able to play Team Fortress 2 with all the extra maps and class add-ons that they simply haven't found a way to fit onto the 360.

We still all need to meet for some Halo shenanigans.

Yes. Yes we do. Especially now that I own Halo 3.

Then we need to set a date and time.

So, a weekend? Afternoon or evening?

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

before I gotta pack up things. Although, Xbox will be one of the last. (assuming I get the offer). This weekend? It's all previews, no tech! Wheee! Or maybe Team Fortress2?

I can't do Saturday, but let me check my Sunday schedule to see what time works for me.

omnis, did you ever get my xbox live friend request?
