The Cake is a Lie.

This week I bought The Orange Box for Xbox 360 and have been playing a game called "Portal." It is probably the most intelligent game I've ever played. It has a gun but it's not a shooting game; The gun shoots the wall to create portals to other areas.






The game has an incredible physics engine that allows you to gain momentum by creating infinite portals. The premise of the game is to see what the test subject is capable of when offered a reward for successful completion of the test chambers. That reward is a piece of cake. In one chamber, you can find a section on the wall where another test subject has carved in the words "the cake is a lie" over and over again.






What I liked most about the game is that it makes you really think to try to figure our how to complete the puzzle. There are countless ways each puzzle can be solved so you can keep replaying the game but find a different way to win each time.

The Greer Warehouse on Old Woodruff

On Monday night, Josh and I finally got the chance to take some pictures of the old abandoned warehouse over by Taco Tuesday in Greer.

It was fast paced, exciting and interesting. I'm gonna be honest, the area was pretty sketch. But Josh said that you will oftentimes take some of the best pictures in areas just like those.

I'm dedicating these pictures to Kyle Lyons, because he spoke about doing a photoshoot there numerous times after we would go to Taco Tuesday.
