Let's make this happen!

Reshared post from +Becky Taylor

Since Half-Life…
It has been my dream to go to Valve.
I think I'm going to ensure this happens some day and not give up on it.

You should never give up on your dreams… specially one's you've had since your childhood. Sure, some are silly… but there are those ones that define you. Don't ever loose them.

:) I even finally fulfilled my dream of meeting moot~

Moot!!!!<3

Any favourites from the last handful of years? Are there are decent Avenger related games on PC?

I'll probably run through Arkham City again… but would be nice to pull out some more Marvel-centric stuff too….

Cause big ad budgets are what makes apps worth getting…. right?

Why the hell haven't they made a game where you can design/test Iron Man armour and gadgets? There was a really shitty Iron Man PC/Console game, and a only slightly less crappy Iron Man 2 Console game they didn't even bother to port to PC…. but there's a real opportunity there for some some serious fun just playing in Tony Stark's workshop that goes unexplored, and it sorta gives me a sad.

In anticipation for that, I'm watching the movies that lead up to it. Because I'm a giant nerd, I want to watch them in chronological order of events, instead of the order the movies came out.

This leads me to a small issue of figuring out when the events of the Hulk took place in comparison with Thor… I know I have a pile of nerds following me (anyone that takes offense to that isn't a real nerd, so whatever)… so I ask you, kind folks of the internet… in what order should I watch these movies in?
