So my internet was spazzing out lately and it turns out my modem was dying. I was still using an old NTL box which is funny since NTL got taken over by Virgin Media years ago.

The bloke was surprised I was using such an old relic. But hey, if it works, why change it. Well, in this case, changing it made me realise what a dope I was. The old box didn't really support the speeds I was paying for but I was never bothered for some reason.

In other news, second week at Beatnik Games was average. I did more level design and played some Left 4 Dead 2 with a few of them. I also watched a video playthrough of Amnesia Dark Descent. I see why people find it scary but there's no way I'd play it cause dark games, at least as dark as that, frustrate me to no end. But I do like my horror, Silent Hill, Resi Evil etc

Finally, Portal 2 eh? I replayed Portal an hour ago. It's a really short game although they did say it was more of a test and they didn't expect it to be such a big hit. I'm just getting ready to record a playthrough like I always do. Why? Well, I was bored one day and recorded HL2 EP1 and suddenly got a few subs. After that it became tradition. I don't record anything else except Half Life related games.

I think that one comment from an afghanistan gamer made it worthwhile. He said something like not being able to afford the game and thanking me for allowing him to continue to follow the Half Life universe.
