Half-Life 2
Half-Life 2 is an amazingly cool game.  There are so many different modes of play, and the physical environment constantly changes.  The story behind the game (for people like me who have a hard time following plot lines) is incredibly in-depth and interesting.  Wikipedia refers to it as "Half-Life canon".  I was addicted to this game for most of the month of December, and the vividness of the graphics and storyline haunted me for hours after playing.  I'd say to Wendy, "I have to kill the zombies with a shotgun because otherwise the head crabs are still alive and will come after me."  Weird, frightening, yes.  But awesome. #entertainment

Chick-fil-A meh (2)
The verdict is in on Chick-fil-A:  It's not that good.  I received a few recommendations from southerners, and I was further attracted by the fact that they sponsor a bowl game.  But really, saying this place is special or any different from other fast food places is ridiculous.  I'd say the only reason it's found such a warm spot in the heart of many displaced southerners is that Chick-fil-A's are only found in the south, so going to them reminds you of home.  Other than that it's just a typical fast food place, but instead of beef, everything's made of chicken.  Big deal.  To be fair, I got a chicken wrap, and it wasn't too bad.  But I could tell as soon as I walked into the place that it wasn't going to be what I expected. #food
