There's something about the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games that makes me step outside my own head. I make sure the Marked One is fed, clothed, has a safe place to sleep, is getting good rates for his artifacts and picks up all the stashes he can in his travels even as I sit there half-dressed and having eaten nothing but coffee before 3pm. The world is so terrifying and compelling. I spent about 3 hours in a firefight clearing a military base, and then as I was looting the bodies in a building a pack of dogs must have wandered in to eat the corpses I had left outside. I walked out (luckily having found a stash of health kits and bandages inside) straight into the pack and they immediately scattered and started running up to attack randomly. I barely limped out of their reach and had to sit on top of a building picking them off until their numbers were depleted enough that they broke and ran.
Then I ran into a pack of about 7 bandits setting out in the middle of the night from their hideout, heading for the rookie Stalker camp. I was full up on hardware from the military base assault so i killed my light, stealthed up to them and dropped a frag grenade in the middle of their cluster. I was cackling madly and shouting taunts at the screen as their bodies cartwheeled into the night and the few survivors freaked out and scrambled for cover, and probably would have continued to do so had my wife not told me to shut up and stop yelling at a computer monitor.

I've started messing around with minecraft classic until I get money for the full game, and I sort of ended up flooding my planet so I think I'm going to make a waterworld made up of islands and interconnected floating platform cities. Much time will be wasted.
I'm watching my bf play and it's straight corny on the xray moves. Johnny Cage's crotch punch is pretty amusing, but this tattoo on his chest is straight lame.
Damnit, finished Portal already, and I was hardly paying attention to it between eating dinner and other stuff. I forgot how quick that game was to get through.
Now, if only there was a way to play more levels without paying €50...

There are map packs around the Internet, but I don't really have any recommendations for you. I always figured it would be unlikely that any amateur mapmakers would be able to make maps as interesting or well-designed as Valve's.

Mortal Kombat is so stupid and great.
Also, Goro sucks!

I really enjoy Kratos's finishing move.
