Sounds like a theory about the ending of North by Northwest...

Took me and my partner to do portal, surely could have done it alone but it was soooooo much more fun.damn those genius's. pity about the end. great song though.

I gave this a try on my lunch break yesterday and well it certainly proves to be quite a game!

That computer voice is horrible to listen to though!

In-case you didn't see the Christmas wishes.

You had the chance to order them, now they're gone. If you weren't on during that frantic first hour of ordering then I'm afraid you're unable to get them until the next batch.

However, there is:

Not in cruelty
Not in wrath
A parcel claimed today
The postman visited
this gray path
and delivered, for Christmas Day...

I entered the Secret Santa for Penny Arcade's gaming subforum. I sent off a plush Jawa to my Santee, and received the following in the mail today...

Discussion with the apartment managers:
Me: "I have 2 parcels waiting?"
Them: "Ok", *turns around and searches*
Me: *notices familiar friend atop the parcels* "Um... I think it's that one there"
Them: "Oh yes..." *hands over both parcels* "We ... 'haven't' been making fun of it all Christmas"
Me: "Well, it's from a video game...... which doesn't make it any better, does it?"

Also, I received the following, seperately (explaining why I've not opened the cube):



My question is...

The cube is WEIGHTED. Now, is this weightedness more goodies inside?

Will I have to.... euthanise... my companion cube?... D: This is both the best present... and the most upsetting present, ever...

For now, I am overjoyed.

Part 2:

The cube is recovering. And I'm.... astounded.

I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

(Images too wide for the forum)

And within the Kinder eggs:

I love the little ghost with a D6 inside it! It works well!

I'll post the results of the cake making too, once I get some eggs and butter tomorrow!

I was even planning on buying I Am Legend for myself, or go watch the movie on my lonesome because all my flatmates are still on holiday!

*bursts into tears*

THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH! WHERE IS MY COMPANION CUBE PLUSHIE, GOD DAMN IT! What am I supposed to cling to during the cold, lonely nights? A T-shirt isn't going to cut it!

Ross, did you steal chairs from an office or something?

Welcome to the wonderful world of student accomodation. The chairs that go around the dinner table are akin to the plastic school-chairs you get.

Not a big fan of portal

i think Team Fortress 2 is much better.
