Every once in a while you get some news that will make your day. Being a gamer I was excited to learn that Metal Gear Solid 3 would be coming out on November 17th, the day after my birthday.

Then today, finally a game I've been looking forward to since beating the original : Half-Life 2, got a release date. November 16th... My birthday.

Combined with my potential computer upgrade, it's going to be a great birthday. I mean nothing can top last year.... Drunk in Paris, France. But hey this almost tops that.

Thank you Gabe Newell and Hideo Kojima for wishing me a Happy 21st Birthday.
