Portal.

Well, I've been playing alot of Orange Box lately. I finished Half-Life 2: Episode 2 in about a day and a half, and it is kinda sad. I mean, I wait 3 years for the so-called "quicker" release schedule of episodic games, and then finish it that quickly, even on the hardest difficulty. I'm not really complaining though, the game itself was great... as per all the HL games I have played, it was just over way too quickly. There were quite a few parts of it that were insanely annoying and difficult, but were possible after a few fits of screaming at the computer and calming down.
After I finished it, I decided to start on Portal, another game that came with OB. It is pretty damn fun, and unique. It wasn't all that difficult to finish either though, but I wasn't expecting it to be. It had one of the greatest songs ever for its ending... but to someone who hasn't played it, it probably wouldn't be that impressive. Regardless, here it is:


The problem I am having with it, is that when you finish it, harder versions of some of the puzzles are unlocked. There are only 6 to finish, but my damned computer keeps locking up every time I finish a few, and it doesn't save my progress, thus I can't fully finish them. It's PISS OUT MY ASS annoying. I suppose it could have something to do with the fact that I am currently overclocking my system by 10% rather than the regular 5% I keep it at... but meh. I don't want to admit fault so I won't. :p
