so i just finished HL2 episode 2. it was great, slightly longer than episode 1 but much better. the only peeve i had was with the antlion caverns. hate such environs. like that of the monotonous doom 3.

in any case, when i was playing the game i was on the look out for the garden gnome to get that achievement complete. i did remember there was one in the early part, but seeing as how some of the achievements were either straightforward (running over so and so many zombies) or do-or-die tasks which one has to do, like defending the base from the striders. so i didnt imagine the bloody task to actually be so hard as to carry the dang gnome for the entire story. in any case, i hereby declare, lke many others before me, that HL and the series is god-like, but not the best. that would be Mafia.

i realise this post will only seem the remotest of familiar to mark and ben, but what the hey. gaming is a part of me and this is my blog. join in the fun and get HL2 then!
