(7:27:13 PM) Yang: Half-Life 2: Orange Box will be $25 at Best Buy this Fri/Sat
(7:27:20 PM) Yang: I am so there.
(7:56:34 PM) Me: You're getting Half-Life? [This surprised me because I assume Half-Life has something to do with nuclear weapons, possible nuclear winter, and Yang and me have both talked about how that scares us deep down inside]
(7:58:34 PM) Yang: Yeah, but only for the articles

L2 was down for the better part of the day last Wednesday and I...really didn't hesitate to jump to RO. Bam. New server. People are nicer. They drop more awesome junk in town (6 Ring of Minor Spirits etc. dropped all at once by someone who I guess DIDN'T NEED THEM) and they invite more people to join their guilds. I'll still play L2. I'm not done with L2. It's just astonishing how much I can find to do in RO, too.

I want to play the Orange Box for Portal because it sounds fun but there isn't a version for PS2. :/

It's all a mystery, which is also to say I have my head too far up my MMORPGs to see anything. >_> Yang was mostly attracted to this Orange Box because it had lots of games that came with it.

Half-Life 1 from ten yrs ago was about a bigass government nuclear research facility that accidentally opened up an interdimensional rift.

You play as a physicist who fights his way thru all of the aliens and zombies.

Half-Life 2 picks up 10-20 yrs later down the storyline when he gets taken out of stasis and the world is now ruled by ALIEN OVERLORDS.

Yeah, there's actually not much radioactive material in the storyline. It's mostly just the mysterious sample that caused the pivotal rift in the beginning of H-L 1.

Thank you, that was informative.

Now I have to figure out whether heard your description of Half-Life 2 in a dream I had, or one of those stupid video game review shows.
