Woohoo, saw the news on Blue's!

Come to me Half-Life 2! Come to me with your swanky and sexy moves in the cold of November, and bust them out for me, right here, you and me, on my computer, and we will spend hours together, yes, HOURS, maybe even all night along, yes that's right, ALL NIGHT LONG, and you will prove to me how sweet and smooth you can be, and you will spoil me for life like no other, I will not be able to look away, you will be beautiful. You will capture my soul and I will succumb to the desires, and we will be like one, you will steal my heart and take me to a higher level of existence...and higher, ever more higher, until, YES! YES! And life will never be the same again!

Er...sorry for that but HL2 is going to be so singularly awesome I can almost taste it, like chicken, you know? I might have to call in sick to work on 11-16! :P
