My Last Post As A Bachelor

In three hours, I am getting married. After the wedding reception, it's honeymoon time. So it may be awhile before I post again.

I'd like to go into length about how I beat Call of Duty 4 on the Recruit setting (easy), and how amazing every aspect of that game was - especially the story. I can't recall another first person shooter with such a gripping storyline. I just don't have the time right now.

And Portal - wow - I could go on forever about that one. Such a refreshingly original game, with mind-bending puzzles and the best 3D platforming gameplay since Super Mario Galaxy, Portal was one of those games that, once I got it and got into it, I played every free moment over the last few days until I beat it, too. The ending was just epic and left me wanting more. I could easily ramble on a very long time about how good Portal is.

But I have to go put on my tux and get married now. Some things are just more important than playing videogames, and far more important that blogging about videogames. If anyone's still reading - see you in a week or two.

Congratulations! Enjoy the honeymoon :)

Portal is indeed awesome. I loved the fact that the Still Alive song from the end of it is available as a free download for Rock Band on xbox 360. I thought Portal pre-dated SMG though. ;)

Thanks Speedman!

You're right - Portal came out before SMG. I meant that it's the best that I've personally played since SMG.

Love that song at the end, too. I might have to pick up Rock Band when I get back...hmm.
