The cake is a lie!

I finished Portal last week. What a great game. I think Valve is really on to something with that game, and I hope they do another, much longer version. If you haven't played it, get The Orange Box. The cake is a lie.

In other gaming news, Diana is hooked on Zuma. She's not addicted as much as she's hell bent on getting to the next level. She's getting better every time she plays though. I remember at first when I watched her I had to hold back on the back seat playing, but her perception of what's on the screen is quickly falling in line with a with a more experienced player.

I'm 80% through Half-Life 2, and the two following episodes await. I don't think the game really challenges the Xbox 360 hardware, but I like the way the story isn't just a bunch of cut scenes. You're more of an active participant. Still a lot of crates and hallways, but good fun.

With all of this game playing, I look forward to getting out into warmer temperatures, which is why I'm so anxious to get to Orlando and Vegas in a couple of weeks. The cabin fever is starting to get to me a little. I mean, look at that last post (which was more about me than "people" really). Jeff minus sun equals shitty. :) But hey, hands on video games and code keeps it off food, and I lost a pound in the last week.
