What video game is your personal Game of the Year?
Submitted by SimpleNate.
Portal has got to be my favorite game of the year at this point. It's very short (about 3-5 hours to go through the main story) but what's there is the highest quality gaming experience I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing. Excellent puzzles, great gameplay mechanics, awesome story and voice acting, an engaging plot twist… Portal has it all.
And that's not even counting the end credits. Portal is included in the Orange Box for around $50, and I'd probably pay $50 just for portal alone. It's that good. If you haven't played it…GO! PLAY!

Ringtones: What's yours and how often do you change it?
Submitted by enrico.
It's the standard telephone ringing sound that came with my Blackberry. I'm not big on custom ringtones since I find them really hard to hear when other things are going on that are making noise. It's easier to hear a piercing phone ring than it is to hear a song while you're in a car (in this case it would be in somebody else's car) when there's music playing.
Additionally, I never really got the whole "spending $3 for 30 seconds of a song" thing. It just seems excessive to me. Maybe I'm slightly too old to get it. "Slightly" because I'm not really "old" exactly, just old enough where the generation of people 2-4 years younger than me confuses me greatly sometimes.
