    Default I just bought the Orange Box

    Really it's just incredible, all of it. I'm going through HL2 and it's so thorough in it's presentation that I'm enthralled at every part. I just want to stop in my adventure and take it all in. Everything-the characters, the environments, the baddies, they're all perfectly done. The physics are also awesome. Right now I'm in Ravenholm and I had to stop because I'm playing in the middle of the night .

    I did a few brief rounds of Team Fortress 2 and it's VERY entertaining because they all look like they came out of The Incredibles. Gonna try Portal soon. Anyway, you all should buy The Orange Box. Amazing deal.

    Totally agreed. Orange Box was one of my few purchases that made me go "wow, I only spent like $40 for all this???". Best PC deal ever.

    I haven't even gotten through Episode One yet.

    The Orange Box is probably one of the best deals in gaming ever, really.

    Have fun with the story-telling, it's why Valve is such a good company.

    Meh, all it was for me was Portal. TF2 was no where near as interesting as TFC was to me years ago, and from what I heard patches ruined it even further. HL2 I bought when it first came out and got bored by the time I got to that prison part, I just don't see why everyone was calling it best game ever. I loved the original HL, one of if not my favorite games ever, HL2 just didn't do it for me. It's why I'm really not interested in Crysis, first of all it seemed like just a giant tech demo, second, if PCgamer is calling it the best game ever that means it must be mediocre.

    I've just become completely unsatisfiable of late. I mean I've always been like 95% unsatisfiable, just now I'm probably like 99%

    It's because you're so concious of your existence that you cant enjoy anything.

    You can't just be.

    According to the Theory of War, which teaches that the best way to avoid the inconvenience of war is to pursue it away from your own country, it is more sensible for us to fight our notorious enemy in his own realm, with the joint power of our allies, than it is to wait for him at our own doors.

    valve also released a game of the year edition a while ago that had half life 1 and 2, half life deathmatch, counterstrike, and the lost island for 30 bucks.

    i really enjoyed that deal, valve has a history of releasing great deals
