candyland | PORTAL! (Reply)

I can has it... *clings to game box*

I've always wanted to play Portal, but it was only available in the Orange Box with two other games...neither of which I had a lick of interest in playing. And I have to admit that I also have no interest in shelling out upwards of fifty bucks for three games when I only wanted one. So I sadly resigned myself to remain Portal-less...

Until last night, when I went to Target in search of a copy of TWEWY, which NO ONE AROUND HERE SEEMS TO HAVE EVEN BLOODY HEARD OF. And lo, instead I found a copy of Portal, all by itself! Just Portal! For a far more reasonable price! And lo, the Candy did buy it, and lo, the Candy did squee like a little girl, and there was much rejoicing.

I haven't started playing yet. I really need to get off my duff and finish Scratches first, since I've been playing on that game for, oh, a few YEARS. Should really just finish it.

Priorities? What are priorities? I HAS GAMES.

I should have a copy of The World Ends with You soon, though... *clings to

lwyn, who is hereby nominated for sainthood* Games, games, games...must also keep up on

summerwrite. Not that I'm falling behind or anything... *stares at word count* I think I can break forty thousand words by Wednesday \o/

While I'm on the topic of Ye Olde Games, I was poking around on YouTube last night in search of something to watch. CONFESSION TIEM: If I'm with friends, I frequently prefer to be the spectator for a video game session. Don't ask me why, but I have just as much fun sitting and watching my friends play and making jokes with them as I do when I'm actually playing myself. In some cases, I think it's more fun.

And lo, I found this site. (There's a lot of lo-ing in this entry.) People play through video games as fast as they can, record it, and post it there so you can watch. I'm...watching Donkey Kong 64 *laugh* Never did finish that game. Just want to see the ending. Have been perusing the list, and see a few others I might want to sit and watch. It's nice because I can do other things while I watch :D
