On the weekend, I was priviledged. I got to see Portal in action at the house of Binks. Or rather, the cell of Binks. The proper nomenclature escapes me. The point is, I saw it in action. And, Lord Binks was kind enough to transfer all the necessary files onto my computer.

When I returned home, I intended to complete the nineteen levels of Portal in a single sitting.

But…tragedy struck!!!

Half-Life 2 was no longer installed on my home computer. And where were the necessary CDs for installation? 5+ hours away in my brother’s suite in Peterborough. Alas, alas. In order to get Half-Life 2, I will have to ‘legitimately acquire the game’. I have acquired 46%. If anyone can help with a pirated copy, I would appreciate it immensely.

I am also reacquiring Bioshock. The copy I had got originally was missing some files.
