Gary Gygax, the original g33k. R.I.P. (sniff)

As people may or may not know, the father of tabletop RPG and co-founder of Dungeons & Dragons, Gary Gygax, died on Tuesday, March 4th. (sigh) This man started me down the road to g33kdom. I don't play as much as I used to in recent years, but back in the day I have clocked hundreds of hours sitting around a table. There was nothing better than hanging with some great friends, talking tech or anything geek related, and throwing that d20--hoping, against all odds, to get that critical.

So. with that all said. Hail to the original father of the geek! Rest in peace my old friend...

Hail To The Geek

Portal End Song - Still Alive

Portal End Song

I was over at a friends house who owns Orange Box, a video game. He had just beat the game Portal and as he is showing off this crazy game he tells me about the end song. Waaaay cool song and now it's now on my favorite play list on my iPod. A song from a video game...(sigh) I'm such a geek :P Now play....

This was a triumph!
I'm making a note here:
"HUGE SUCCESS!!"

It's hard to overstate
my satisfaction.

Aperture Science:
We do what we must
because we can.

For the good of all of us.
Except the ones who are dead.

But there's no sense crying
over every mistake.
You just keep on trying
till you run out of cake.
And the science gets done.
And you make a neat gun
for the people who are
still alive.

I'm not even angry...
I'm being so sincere right now-
Even though you broke my heart,
and killed me.

And tore me to pieces.
And threw every piece into a fire.
As they burned it hurt because
I was so happy for you!

Now, these points of data
make a beautiful line.
And we're out of beta.
We're releasing on time!
So I'm GLaD I got burned-
Think of all the things we learned-
for the people who are
still alive.

Go ahead and leave me...
I think I'd prefer to stay inside...
Maybe you'll find someone else
to help you?
Maybe Black Mesa?
That was a joke! HAHA!! FAT CHANCE!!

Anyway this cake is great!
It's so delicious and moist!

Look at me: still talking
when there's science to do!
When I look out there,
it makes me GLaD I'm not you.

I've experiments to run.
There is research to be done.
On the people who are
still alive.
And believe me I am
still alive.
I'm doing science and I'm
still alive.
I feel fantastic and I'm
still alive.
While you're dying I'll be
still alive.
And when you're dead I will be
still alive.

Still alive.

Still alive.
