A long time ago, this cool game called Portal came out. It used the source engine and all that, and it’s premise was deceptively simple. You can shoot this gun that will put a portal wherever you want it, then you put the other end of the portal wherever you want to go to. Using […]
I hate the RIAA.

My wife has to spend the next couple months in the Washington DC area, attending some training. Because she’d be out there so long, she wanted to bring her car. To make a long story short, I decided to drive her out, see some sights along the way, and fly back home; we […]
