Hm, Half Life 2 and Borderlands are both on sale on Steam for under $5 each. Almost too good to pass up, even if I suck at first-person shooter formats.

So far, Portal 2 is fun. Some neat new challenges and I really like the setting, etc. Am about 12 or so levels in, so have a little bit to go, yet. Trying not to rush but I keep wanting to solve each room as quickly as possible so that I can see the next room, and so on.
