Out of the Blue [Nov 27, 2004, 12:55 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
A follow-up for my fellow coffee lovers after a long-ago discussion of coffee
grinders. I recently found a new grinder that seems to fit my requirements,
which is simply a burr unit that won't require constant shaking and banging to
keep the beans flowing to their ultimate destiny. This
KitchenAid Coffee Grinder fills these seemingly simple needs in a stylin'
form. I've only been using this cast-iron and glass contraption for a short
time, but its solid construction is clearly built for the long haul, and the
only complaint I have about its operation is a bit of scattered grounds in the
area when it's done. We even found it on sale in a Williams-Sonoma outlet,
though they didn't have the spiffy blue, so we settled for kitchen white.
Anyway, I've put the blade grinder away for emergencies, and it's good to get
out of the same old grind.

I don't know why I'm using secret text here since this isn't a spoiler of any kind - just a personal theory.
I've been playing the game under the working theory that the G-Man is actually Gordon from the future. I don't have any good arguments to support this but the G-Man (G for Gordon?) does look like he could be an older Freeman without the facial hair. There is also the point in the game where the teleporter seems to have transported Freeman a couple weeks into the future - so they could be building up to a time travel slant.
The thing I'm missing from the story is what the "new order" has to do with what happened in the first Half Life and the other world that was involved. I probably don't remember enough about it and I never played Blue Shift or the other add on game so maybe I'm just missing a big part of the story.
Now I just have to look back at an earlier post that told how to get the blue grav gun so I can play the game over with just that!
