Recently I found myself watching the Zero Punctuation review of the Orange Box, and specifically for Portal. I don't really need to add my accolades to the pile that was heaped on to this game. Game of the year, most innovative game, blackest humor of the year, etc.

Anyway, watching the review, I was encouraged to go play it again. it's just a short game, taking only 3 1/2 hours or so, especially the second time through. And, after a really fantastic boss battle at the end, up came the song. That wonderful song. It stuck in my head for weeks after playing the first time. And now it's wedged back in there tight as ever.

So, I present to you, "Still Alive":

I have in-laws staying with me this week, so I haven't been thinking about the blog much. So, here's an 'encore presentation' from one of my older defunct blogs.

This guy sure does hate Pachelbel.
