Ah, Valve, a company I'm sure many of you have at least heard about, weather it be the many amazing games they made, a lot of which ending in 2, Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode 2, Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead 2, Portal 2... a uh... a whole lotta 2's.
BUT what some may not know is that they are the creators and owners of Steam, which is to my knowledge the most popular way to buy/play games on PC ^^

I guess that recently I've gotten into a "Valve Mood," take what you will from that, but essentially I've been going back and playing, well, all of those games I had originally listed and played in the past, primarily Half-Life 2, gonna make a few vids on it that aren't primarily a playthrough type video so I'm excited for that ^^
The way that I'm playing Half Life 2 is the only way I've experienced it, on Xbox 360 with The Orange Box, and even though Team Fortress 2 isn't as popular as it used to be on Xbox, it WAS REALLY FUN "back in the day."
But what I used to regard as the "low point" of the Orange Box.
Now please, please understand I was kinda really not all too smart a few years back, so I used to look at Portal as "WOAH! Half-Life 2! Super cinematic super soldiers and robot spider giants, wonder what's next-! Oh... puzzle game... ok... OOO TEAM FORTRESS 2-!"
That's pretty much how it happened, quote me on that.

But now that I'm older, I can actually appreciate just how amazing this game was even when compared to Portal 2 and the rest of the Orange Box ^^
The puzzles make you think and they make sense, and there's something very, unique feeling about the utilization of the Source Engine in Portal 1 compared to its sequel and the Half-Life 2 trilogy.

I guess that brings us to, well, this video ^^
Ever since the first video type like this I did for Fallout: New Vegas, I hadn't thought much of another video like this, the Big Iron video was really a personal project with the goal to just have a video about New Vegas on my channel, but when I beat this game I was just like "Man this music is amazing..." then I started humming along, and bing bang boom, this video ^^
