Orange Box


For all of you that don't know (My audience of me and the occasional visitor who got on the wrong internet offramp,) Orange Box is a collection of games from gaming company Valve. They've created such fine games like Half Life 1 & 2, Team Fortress 1 & 2, Counterstrike and other fine games. You can view their games list here.
The games that are included in Orange Box are:
Portal
Team Fortress 2
Half-Life 2
Half-Life 2: Episode Two
Half-Life 2: Episode 1

If you want to know more, do the research. I'm a horrible educator.

I should be more excited about this, that would make me a hardcore gamer. Being that I'm just "core" makes me a little sad. Not that I'm not contemplating buying Orange Box, I am heavily contemplating (and maybe electroplating and misinterpreplating) on buying this game.

Do I need another First Person Shooter? No. I still have to beat Halo 3 and the rest of my collection of FPS' and other very exciting games. That is a subject for another day, time and argument with my wife about my incredible laziness.
Maybe I'll see if Blockbuster has a copy. If not, they'll have a copy of something. Who knows, maybe tonight's the night where I finally rent Vampire Rain.

Trust me, buy the game... if there is any game worth buying, its the Orange Box. You cannot spend a better $60 on gaming... imo...

I agree with Duff on this even if you never play Team Fortress 2 the game is still a bargain for $60.

PGR4 (or Thank God I Rented this Game!)

Project Gotham Racing 4 (PGR4) is a racing game by Microsoft Games Studios and Bizzare Creations. From what I had been hearing this wasn't a bad game. I figured instead of dropping $60 on a game I hadn't been anticipating, I would rent it. And thank God I did! I'm not saying that PGR4 is a bad game, it's not. I'm just iterating that it's boring. I guess if I had been more excited, like I was for Forza 2 (pronounced "Fortza Too"), getting into this game would not have been a problem. But it was. I've had the game for 3 days and have played it twice. And I've only really enjoyed myself once. I'm not a big fan of losing my first race, or my second race, or my third race, or my...well, I think you get it by now. Normally with a slightly difficult game I really wouldn't have a problem, but it's a freakin' racing game! I'm slightly good at racing games, I don't lose races until it starts getting hard. I'm n...

How to be Depressed.

  I am clinically depressed.   If you look up the checklist (from  www.uclahealth.org/resnick/checklist-for-depression ) you will find the following list: Depressive mood.  Do you suffer from feelings of worthlessness, helplessness, or pessimism for days at a time? Sleep disturbance.  Do you have trouble falling asleep at night or trouble staying asleep, or are waking up in the middle of the night or too early in the morning? Are you sleeping too much? Chronically fatigued.  Do you frequently feel tired or lack energy? Isolation.  Have you stopped meeting with family or friends? Increasing isolation and diminished interest or pleasure in activities are major signs of depression. Appetite disturbance.  Are you eating far less than usual—or far more? Severe and continuing appetite disturbance is often an indication of depression. Inability to concentrate.  If you can't seem to f...

Altered Weapon, Redux. (or "How I am learning to love myself, and you can too."

I always thought that I could be someone great. Whether it be a famous actor, millionaire, business mogul, or anything else. The sky was the limit. Ability was never the issue. I have ability for days. I'm sure you feel the same way. There is nothing that we cannot do, no mountain we cannot climb, no obstacle that we cannot overcome. But that isn't the truth. That is far from it. The truth is that I am lost. Unhappy, unsatisfied, and searching for meaning, I've never been given direction, never been coached, never had someone take the time to invest in my ability. This sucks. If you are feeling the same way, I am so sorry. That is painful. That is the world we live in. But what can we do about it? What can I do? We can share our knowledge. We can give what we have not received. Advice. There are people out there who are in our shoes, only younger. The combined knowledge we have has the possibility of changing a person's life. It can make them successful. It can save t...
