Well, my birthday isn't for a few more weeks but I was treated to some early birthday presents. zeke2040 was kind enough to send me not one but three birthday presents! The Orange Box which I absolutely love. Portal is probably my favorite game out of the five that are included. It's a great puzzle game and I love the fact that it's first-person. The humor in the game is also really fun. Overlord: Raising Hell (which hasn't come out yet) is another game with lots of humor. "Yes master, you're evil! You're truly evil!" The third gift from zeke was Appleseed Ex Machina on Blu-Ray. I have yet to watch it because my other birthday present hasn't come yet, but I'm sure it's a killer movie. So thanks so much zeke for the great birthday gifts! Domo arigato :D

So, on to my other gift. It's actually a split gift, I paid half and my parents paid for the other half. It's a 40" Bravia HD TV! I AM SO EXCITED!!! I can't wait to get it and re-play all of my games. The first thing I'm going to do when I get it is to watch the intro video for Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, then watch Appleseed, and then play through Uncharted and Ratchet & Clank Future :D I will definitely have to post some pics when the TV does arrive. I'm hoping to replace my old surround sound system in a few weeks as well. That way everything matches :D

So there you go. Even though it's not my birthday yet, I'm definitely feeling like it's just around the corner, lol. Happy Friday the 13th mina!
