Beating Portal 2 - I don't even go on here much, so I didn't care really~...though I am curious as to why it has been having problems recently.

Went about normal studying.

Nothing compared to the great Reddit Downtime of 2011 (also known as the Amazon EC2 outage). Now THOSE were a rough couple days.

EDIT: And beating Portal 2, of course.

I'm assuming Chad pissed off Anonymous by removing some BS feature that a fraction of a percent of the community uses...

SPEAKING OF PORTAL 2... bought the boyfriend a copy for his birthday and stupidly delayed on getting self one because of money shortage. :(

Anyone have an extra PC copy (perhaps that they got with the PS3 copy?) that they'd be willing to sell for cheaper than store price? Maybe with one of these personalized necklaces as a portion of payment?

Beat FFVii... I've had an emulator for about a year and finally got around to handling the Northern Crater...

Man I wish they'd remake it... up the graphics and the difficulty, add a few side quests so its a bit less linear...

Party was Cloud, Vincent and Cid, if anyone cared enough to read this far down...

Gotta try harder than that. xD It's Portal 2. I was lucky, though, as my best friends (whom I've known for eight years) helped me get Portal 2 by paying for half of it. Ended up paying 25 bucks instead of 50. Steam, of course.

Been playing through FFIV and it's sequels on the PSP. I'm in Brampton right now and my PS3 is in Hamilton so I haven't really been affected.
