Addiction

I want to hate Half-Life 2. The jumping puzzles, the wonky physics, the frustrating vehicles, they all serve to make me want to never deal with that game again. But then it pulls something awesome like giving me command of an insect army to lead an assault on an abandoned prison to free the leader of the human resistance, and it's SO. DAMN. AWESOME. that I end up awake at 4 AM still running and gunning and doing that damned jumping puzzles.

Curse you, Valve, and the hold you have on my soul.
