Where did yesterday go?

[swestrup]

I'm just now waking up, because I was inadvertently awake for close to 24 hours, because I installed a new video game. I spent most of Christmas day playing Half-Life 2. No, not the Orange Box, the version of HL2 that came out 5 years or so ago. This is the first time I've had a computer that was actually capable of playing the game, so I decided to try it out Christmas morning as a small present to myself.

The next thing I knew it was 3:00 am and I'd spent the vast majority of the day playing the game. The only time off I took was a 2-hour break to watch "Pirates of the Caribbean" with taxlady as neither of us had seen it before.

I guess its what I'm going to spend the rest of today doing as well, since things are a bit slow here at the moment, and I haven't really spent much time on a game in ages.

Half-Life has always been famous for having a really good single player part - both HL and HL2 as well as the add-on episodes to HL2.

Congrats on disappearing from the world for a short while :)

Your Christmas sounds much like my Christmas, except it was one of the Pirates sequels.
