I bought this for the 360 and it blew my mind at the time. I had never played a Half Life game before, and that coupled with TF2 led me down the path to PC building for the superior gaming platform. I owe a lot to The Orange Box!
I do exactly this, and I have for years! It's a work laptop, so I can't install whatever I want. I have a dedicated mouse for the PC and another for the laptop, hdmi switch for a shared monitor, but also a dedicated monitor for both as well. Then a shared keyboard on a 4 port is switch.
I'm in the US as well, and I had a gesture shortcut for Google Pay on my phone. For a while, whenever I opened it the app would strongly suggest I switch over to Google Wallet. I thought Pay was phased out a while ago as well, TIL.
Sounds like a quiet quitter to me, if only he went above and beyond the expectation I'm sure he'd still be there /s
