I also have to say: I do want to play Half-Life now. All I know about it is that apparently Black Mesa tried to create a portal gun and instead got headcrabs. But I might have to just watch my roommate play it, because I fail so badly at FPS's. Like, not only do I fail at playing them, they actually give me motion sickness and headaches. I got about half an hour into the story mode of Halo 3 and had to quit. It was pretty upsetting. :/ But I need to know about the aliens, and I do hope they'll tie Portal 2 and Chell into the story somewhere.
