The Source-Error's Apprentice:

That old Source-error has vanished;
In an update, gone away!
All the graphics glitches banished,
My commands Steam will obey.
Every single nook and cranny
That this platform use, I know;
And with these achievements canny,
Gaming prowess I will show.

Come, old boom-stick, you are needed,
Take these shells and blast them round you!
See! The pixels they have bleeded!
In streets of Ravenholm, I've found you.
Blast the legs! They cannot stand!
Add a headshot for good measure.
The headcrabs made them less than man -
and the horde hides lambda'd treasure.

See her, toward the portals racing
The game was free with Steam from Dell;
Through the chambers, Rattman chasing;
Escape this nightmare Android Hell!
Timer running - see her hasten!
Those medals make me rant and rave...
Turretfire - into the basin!
...better load that recent save.

Ah, the worlds Valve has mastered
Make PCs a boon once more!
See, they save and process faster!
My mouse is ready - off to war!
Ever new, the online mail;
Every one, by Gaben read.
We ask for 3's, to no avail,
Curses be upon his head!

Brood of G-man, you're not mortal!
Is waiting strategy, or blunder?
We want Half-Life, and more Portal!
Listen to the voices thunder:
"Hats are L33T, and zombies scary,
But sequels bring a greater thrill!
And even though we're trolled by Gary,
We have waited, and are waiting still!"

"He'll return, the crowbar swinging!
Combine slain, with no remorse!
Hear the adulations ringing -
Resurgent lambda's second Source!
So! Spread misinformation, Wheatley!
Tempt us at those VGAs.
For when it comes then, oh-so-sweetly,
We'll see the end of endless days!"

These games, they run; becoming better -
from 2K, Valve, and Enix vying.
The digital tide that naught can fetter!
...though Call of Duty's always trying.
At E3, we are STILL excited.
With every breath, we ask for more.
And though our hope seems unrequited,
We'll wait, encamped in Steam's dark store.
Freeman fans won't be ignored.

Of worlds gone to chaos,
A city burns at night--
And stands above its shapeless shroud
With many wond'rous powers endowed
In suit of black and white.

A sextet of sunken Worlds
Lie opened one by one,
Why should one lonely man, I wonder,
Shake up the dust of time like thunder
As darker goes the sun?

In a story clouded by memory
What plot shall we discern?
Behind all lies a mystery
Of misery or victory,
And scientific history,
- to the worlds I return.

Arthouse and quaintly coloured
Are the scenery, it's true
The second in brightest day remains,
yet through the others, sunlight wanes
while in the lastmost, nighttime reigns
- the first, in deepest blue.

Of a good man on an journey
Who wields the power of time;
And as he walks from door to door
Finds puzzle pieces; then finds more
While wond'ring what may be in store
in symbolism sublime.

Yet Tim is not a fairy tale;
His days as our days ran,
Though he can fast reclaim an hour
Or flee from rabbits, dressed as flowers,
Though the Princess is in another tower
In the place where all began.

His Princess lost and lonely
We look from poor Tim's eyes,
We know he feels his life a wreck
And he remembers but a speck,
Of puzzles he must reconnect
and often, undisguise.

Go with him; in memory of the hours
He walked these paths alone.
And saw his ghosts in purple hewn
Or shimm'ring green to time immune,
- for he knows he'll find her soon!
In his long journey home.

As Tim goes through a doorway
Blow's brilliant puzzler came
With its merits here assayed
It's on Steam (and also Live Arcade)
And purchase should not be delayed,
...for it stays my favorite game.

I want to sincerely apologize for the ruined run. Never failed so absurdly in this game. Guess there was something with my head and I missed that boss had literally one hit. Again, sorry for that

If you're looking for a +rep on this profile you've come to the wrong place, but if you're looking for an outstanding garlic bread recipe you've come to the right place.

Ingredients
4 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons extra-virgin :wink: olive oil
1 loaf crusty bread, split
3 tablespoons grated cheese, Parmigiano or Romano, optional
Chopped fresh parsley

Directions
Combine garlic, butter, and oil in a microwave safe dish or in a small saucepan. Heat garlic and butter and oil in microwave for 1 minute or in a small pot over moderate-low heat for 3 minutes.

Toast split bread under broiler. Remove bread when it is toasted golden brown in color. Brush bread liberally with garlic oil. Sprinkle with cheese, if using, and parsley. If you added cheese, return to broiler and brown 30 seconds. Cut into chunks and serve.
