There's a game, it's called Portal 2, it's out now. It's pretty damn good.

Hey there! It's been a while. It's been very boring while you've been gone. Not a load has happened, to be honest, but, you're here now, and that's the important part, I think. Important to stay focused on the positive aspects of our current situation.

You may notice a few things have changed since you've been gone, and, just, don't panic. I can't stress enough how important not panicking is. You may be saying "why is he in charge of these things?", but not to worry. I have everything under control. Don't panic.

For instance, did you know that we have co-operative testing now? Brilliant, really. Carpool to work. Always helps to stay in groups. You won't get lost, stick with your buddy. Did you know that the average lifespan of a thing in a group is 70% longer than someone alone?

Well, actually, that might not be an accurate statistic, but, chin up. It's important to have friends in this time of not panicking.

Now, there are a few videos here, just in case you need to be brought up to speed. To be entirely honest, I haven't watched them, but I assume they're very important, so if you could watch them and then maybe just, remember all the important bits, that would be absolutely brilliant. I think that'll work nicely.

Investment Opportunity #1

Investment Opportunity #2

Investment Opportunity #3

Investment Opportunity #4

Um, so yes, if you've watched those, I think we're good and ready to start then. I'm gonna take myself down from this bar n--

OH NO WAIT SORRY I FORGOT ONE MORE VERY IMPORTANT THING

Now, you may be awfully quick for this testing. I mean, you don't seem it, but it's possible, so, I think it's for the best if you just keep everything you see very, very secret. Best not tell anyone anything with enclosing it in
tags, because, well, if you don't, you die. That's what they tell me.

Oh. You don't need me? Well, how about I just wait here, and you come back when we're good and ready. Yes? Yes. Perfect. Absolutely brilliant. Remember to not panic.

    did you hear the one about how the golfer hit the ball onto a cake, and they wouldn't let him take a mulligan

    it seems that according to the PGA rule book, the cake was a lie.

    so anyway

    i roasted some red peppers for a sandwich the other day and I have a really hard time deciding which I like better, roasted or raw

    roasted draws out the flavour nicely but I also really like the cold crisp of a raw pepper, especially if you cut it so it's straight and not the weird C-shape that a standard cut gives you

    makes sandwich insertion easier, too

    You must be new to comedy. You're still rather green.

    Until then, stop trying to wedge it in wherever you can.

    I'm pretty convinced Valve will be releasing coop puzzles as DLC.

    I think they have to know that not everyone will get around to playing through the coop at once, so you'll end up having friends who want to play together but one has already gone through coop and the other hasn't, etc..

    So, just finished the single-player of this game. It was absolutely fantastic. Ending spoilers:
    For an ending where you get exactly what you wanted, I was surprisingly sad about being kicked out by Glados. Oh, and poor Wheatley.

    I also made a bunch of screenshots, some of which were pretty shitty, to be honest. Here they are, but be warned: There be spoilers.

    Now to do the co-op campaign.
