The Orange Box = DONE

I intended to do Portal without cheats, I really did. Then I spent about 2 hours on the first time challenge and decided that I really didn't want to. It's not that I was unwilling to put in the time and effort, but that I didn't want to associate Portal with anything negative. When I hear "The cake is a lie", I associate that with GLaDoS and Valve and everything I love about video games. I wasn't willing to add "flashbacks of two weeks of pain and frustration" to that.

So, I broke down and used the whole cheats exploit thing, and it only took 2 days to sweep up all the golds. Orange Box is done now, 99 achievements and all. I put MW2 on my card as well, and I should have that done relatively soon.
