Halloween Gaming Pictures Created Using Creative Kit

I guess I decided instead of gaming today that I would play around with the new Creative Kit on Google +. I had a blast turning regular pictures into masterpieces with a Halloween theme.  I spent over 12 hours today messing around with it, and have some great pics.

I figure some of these pictures will end up being passed around on the internet for years.  I would love that. Anyways I decided it would be cool to show the before, and after pics of each photo.  You will be surprised how much different they looked originally.

All of the pictures should be able to be shared, and downloaded.  Enjoy the pics.

Does Chamber 19 Ever End in Portal?

I keep cruising along in Portal.  I keep thinking I am almost done, and it is like the Energizer bunny it just keeps going and going.  I must be getting close to the end I hope.  I just want to see what the great ending is all about.

Chamber 19 has definitely tested my patience a few times.  It is aggravating sometimes to know that you have the mechanics down, but for some reason your timing is just a bit off.  I am not sure how many times I have died falling into the toxic water.

The sounds of the game sometimes get a bit annoying, and I have to take my headphones off.  I love the lady voice, but all the other sounds I could do without when I am trying to concentrate to figure out the current puzzle.

Currently I am at the part where she says she is going to kill me.  The cake may be a lie, but her saying she is going to kill me has been very true.  I thought I had it figured out, but its not killing the stupid turret or whatever it is.  I have made portals so it shoots itself, but it just keeps going and going.

Once I get stumped like this I just have to stop for the night.  There is only so much dying I can handle in one night.  Hopefully tomorrow night I will load up the game, and I will see something I kept overlooking tonight.

The game is quite addicting.  I can't just give up like I do in so many other games.  It is my mission to finish this game, and eat my cake.  Even if the cake is really a lie in the game I am buying myself a nice carrot cake when I finish it to mock it back.

Chamber 14 In Portal Is Making Me Rage

I am progressing pretty nicely through Portal.  Tonight I breezed through many of the chambers until I managed to get to fourteen.  If Portal doesn't get your brain thinking than nothing will.  My brain is about to explode from trying to figure this one out.

I am going to have to sleep on this one, and think about it all day at work tomorrow.  I know eventually I am going to figure it out.  I think I need to get rested, and have a clear mind to think how I am going to solve it.

It can be frustrating that some puzzles seem so easy, and some drive you crazy.  The weird part is once you figure it out you wonder why it took so long.

This game is crazy addicting though.  You get so frustrated from not being able to figure it out that you just keep trying over and over.  It just has this addictive power that makes you not want to stop until you solve it.  It makes it very rewarding once you figure it out.  It is better than any stupid achievement you earn in a mmorpg.

The next thing is you start your next puzzle, and you just want to check it out before logging off.  It looks easy so it lures you in, and you end up not logging off.  An hour later you are saying to yourself I thought this one was going to be easy.

I am highly recommending everyone play this game.  It has become one of my favorite games that I have played in a long time.

Where Has Portal Been All My LIfe?

All I can say is Portal rocks.  I wanted to punch my TV the first night though.  I have never been so frustrated in my life.  I just wasn't quite understanding what I was supposed to be doing.  I felt like I was going in circles, and there was no one to help.

I just needed that jump start to see someone play it so I knew what the heck I was supposed to be doing.  I literally ran around in this one room for an hour trying to figure out how I was going to get up to this area I was supposed to get to.

I tried everything, and eventually I just logged off the game, and starting playing Team Fortress 2 instead.  I ragequit that after a few games because it seemed we never had any medics on my side.  I decided to check out a Portal walkthrough on Youtube, and than it finally clicked.

I stopped at where I currently am at, and saw how easy it was.  I literally spent hours in this room, and once I saw the solution I just wanted to look directly into my portal gun, and pull the trigger.

It was amazing after finishing that puzzle.  Every room after that I knew exactly what to do after thinking about it a minute.  I now see why this game is so addicting.  It is fun actually trying to figure out the solutions to each room.

I still have a long ways to go in the game, but I can't wait to finish Portal so I can than finish Portal 2 after that.
