Kree’s Den

Ack, I haven’t updated like I should have Hopefully this really long one will make up for that!

So, anyways, some much-needed news/ramble!

I bought the Orange Box (& Garry’s Mod) over Steam and a new iPod Nano with my Christmas mula :D

Portal was hell’a fun! It’s short but jam-packed with concentrated awesomeness! The ending song wraps it up so nicely (and gives me something to repeat endlessly on my new iPod 8D) It’s got the mind-bending portal puzzles mixed in with a great script and voice-acting! The WCC is a freakin’ INANIMATE CUBE, but he’s got a giant fanbase already XD. I wish I could find some good fan-made maps to sedate my lust for more portal content.

Also, getting Episode 1 & 2 prompted me to finish playing Half-Life 2 and I ploughed through all of them lickety-split! I feel like a real FPS guy now! I CAN’T WAIT FOR EPISODE 3! YAAAAAAY! GIMME GORDAN WITH A PORTAL GUN! :D

… and I haven’t even tried out Team Fortress 2 yet :P Btw, my SteamID is KreeTheBasilisk

The iPod was a bit of a sudden splurge (that I could have bought Mario with D: ) but it’s awesome fun to listen to the Joystiq podcast when I don’t have anything to do. Also, sorry my poor DS Lite, but this iPod is also way easier to lug around with me in those gaps of travel time.

Apart from those two things, we mainly ate tons of candy and nuts for Christmas :D Fun family times. Also, my brother got Cluedo. CLUEDO! XD ‘Tis fun. Also, I ate all my Gourmet Jelly Beans and now he doesn’t want me to mooch any of his :P

Ohh, before I forget, back before Portal and HL2 consumed my soul, I played a lot of Kyntt Stories. It’s free and artsy, try it out! There’s extra map packs and more in the forums. “Within a Deep Forest” is also a blast.

So yeah, there’s my long-winded update of what I’ve been up to. Feel free to poke me with countless probing questions! :)
