I probably shouldn't be quite this excited about it, but I just received 3 mugs from the valve store.  It took them a few weeks to ship, but they're well worth it.  How many of the organizations do you recognize?

Good news everyone!  According to Valve CEO Gabe Newell, Half-Life 2 Episode 3 is still in the works.  I guess they haven't forgot about us!  Oh, and this one might have something not usually seen in gaming: characters using sign language.  Things are looking awesome again.  

Wow!  I've made it almost an entire month without posting anything here!  If I can wait just a few more hours, I will have managed to skip January completely!

Wait a minute...  NO!

As of December 29th, Jenna and I are engaged. Just thought I'd let everyone know.

If there's one thing that science has proven to me it's this: my girlfriend loves stuffed animals.  I guess that's why I thought it would be a good idea for us to go to Build-A-Bear.  By this point you should have stopped to wonder why I decided to post this under the "Drupal."  My reasoning: A few days ago Adrian wrote "
