Fabulous Half-Life 2 Comic

Here's a tip -- if you've got a deadline, don't wander over to the Half-Life 2 comic "Concerned." I'm a *huge* Half-Life and Half-Life 2 fan, so when I heard about it, I went right over and now that's two hours of my life I'll never get back (but were oh so pleasantly spent) reading all 120 comic strips front to back. Since I've been spending my evenings and weekends playing Half-Life 2 again (why oh why aren't there any more good games?!?), all of the stuff in these comics is fresh in my mind. Plus, I don't mean "comic inspired by Half-Life 2;" the guy actually posing characters and objects from the game using a Half-Life 2 mod and builds his comics out of the screen shots, adding hilarious prose. It's like if Rory built his comics from "Stick Figure World 3D" (coming soon to XBox 360). Very highly recommended.

Pure genius! Dr. Breen not realising he was "live" was just perfect. Very funny and horribly addictive. Thanks so much for this!

No good games???

Have you tried World of Warcraft? I was a big CS Source/DoD/HL2 fan and never thought I'd like a MMORPG. Give WoW a try. The PvP aspect of the game is phenomenal (Imagine 5 hour long 40 vs 40 battles).

I don't know anyone who's tried it and quit (though I don't think quitting is possible without an intervention).
