Yeah this is going to be my last week on system wars (well really on the Internet outside of Cyber Monday) as well (for a while at least). Life is about to get really busy between taking 2 and a half weeks of leave, settling in to the barracks in Alaska and getting used to life there.

Finished Half-Life 2 again @10 hours. Still arguably the best story-driven FPS to date (though Bioshock is a bit of a contender I think). The puzzles, the atmosphere, the gameplay, the characters and even the bits and pieces of music you get are some of the best to experience in a game. The ending always gets me wondering as to what the GMan could possibly be talking about in regards to bidders and chills me. Taking down Striders is immensely satisfying and the little headcrabs are cute as well. I'll admit I wasn't fond of the whole boat chapter but the rest of the game is strong enough to carry it through regardless.
