I just bought Valve’s The Orange Box:
It’s only $40 for FIVE (great) Steam Games.
Half-Life 2
HL2 Episode One
HL2 Episode Two
Team Fortress 2
Portal
I already have HL2 but the other four are new, I have played the Portal Demo though (First Slice) and really enjoyed it. Team Fortress 2 looks pretty good too, I have the Classic version of that already. The cool thing about already HL2 is the fact that Valve allows you to pass your extra copy to a friend if you want. =D Neat.
Well my Birthday is tomorrow (21st) so I went and blew $900 at BestBuy Sunday.
Why would I do such a thing you might ask? Because of this: HP Pavilion Media Center m8400f PC + 19" WideScreen LCD with built in speakers + HP All-in-one = 900 bucks in this weeks ad.

Now picture those 4 cores at 2.2GHz bringing you these results:
Rawr, been playing World of Warcraft with full settings and still getting 35+ FPS in the cities.
Not to mention I can now enjoy Half Life 2 and the wonders of Garrys Mod (even my Portal Demo as well—it’s only thing that lags slightly with the settings cranked up).
This is a huge jump from my Laptop being my main computing platform at home.
So I read online (a friend linked me) about something shown at the END of ALL the credits on Iron Man (in theaters). Slightly disgusted for not staying/knowing about it… I went and saw the movie again (although with a friend this time). It was a good surprise at the end and I’m not gonna ruin it for people who have not seen it. GO SEE THE MOVIE!
[FYI - Cam versions (of any movie) suck, period.]
