HI all.

Now i was more in for buying The Orange Box (it will now be called TOB, because im lazy) on the computer, but due to already being brought to the brink of throwing my computer out of the window after useing 'steam' on it i decided to go for the safe option.

Firstly i could not belive what i got with the game, Half life 2, Half life 2 EP 1, EP2, TF2 AND Portal!! wow, amazing value for money (il be a wise trader yet!, 50 points to ANYONE who knows what game thats from, remember points make....errrrm prizes?)

anyway, half-life 2 is just as i rememberd playing it on *shudders* steam. Fun, Long and a great story-line, but the real issue is when i got to EP 1, it is short, boring and overly annoying.
but thankfully, EP 2 saved it!

i mean, HOW CAN YOU HATE A GAME THAT LETS YOU SEND A GNOME INTO SPACE!? i loved that part, i did it for the pure enjoyment of carrying a small smiling garden gnome into battle with me, seeing that smiling face reminded me WHY i was playing this game, and whenever i felt beaten or fed-up that little face cheered me right up! we went in a car together...we went through an ant-lion infested cave together...we went through alot.

EP 2 is a little odd, being the middle child and all of the episodes, all that was annoying was the fact that a new person was introduced into the game (DR Magnisen? i think you spell it) and everyone act's like we all know him, it was a little daunting at first when i was paniking thinking "ahhhhhh i missed out some VITAL storypoint in EP1 OR HALF LIFE 2!!!" untill i found out he is just some guy they through in to get on my nerves.

Team Fortress 2 is really fun! it cartoony like graphics make it near impossible to get mad or fed-up while playing it, it's week point maybe it choice of maps but the maps they do have are VERY FUN and highly addictive not like a certain other game *cough* halo 3 *cough*. the classes you can play as range from the crafty spy to the big heavy gunner, it's fun for anytype of player from the people who enjoy large guns to people who enjoy a more subtle choice.

Portal is a uniquely amazing game with nice mind games that range from easy to "how the ---- do i do that!?" and the robot voice never ceseces to make you giggle with her witty and odd remarks, (party, anyone?)
all in all this game rocks, and i dare anyone to reply saying they dident feel sorry for your *sniff* companion cube....
oh and if that dosent rock your boat, then theres CAKE and a really catchy song at the end of the game....

apature science, we do what we must because we can.

---Gtag is "wierd carrot" add me if you want. little rocket man owner and happy he's in a better place.

write to me meldo...where ever you are.....i miss you
