Portal! Portal! Portal!

I presume he has now romped his way to the awesome and immensely amusing finale then?


I *heart* the end song.

Haha, yes, he finished it today What a brilliant game!

I just ordered myself two Portal T-Shirts; A "The Cake is A Lie" one and a "Weighted Companion Cube" one.

I've had that bloody song stuck in my head non-stop for nearly a week. Quite by far the most powerful earworm I've ever experienced.

I'm totally bouncing up and down in my head after playing level 18.

I'm now playing HL2 for the first time,
I love being behind the times,

just did Burnout 3 on the old xbox a couple of weeks back.

Old games are still good games, just cheaper...

Class tune. Killer key changes.

Right then. What are 'advanced levels'?

Right then. What are 'advanced levels'?

Once you've completed the game, it unlocks a selection of levels 1-18 but with modifications to the materials (eg, the floor is all acid, and there's much more 'hard' metal) to make them much harder.

 

[alsoknownas]

I see. But I completed the game (Xbox 360) and all the menus etc. seem the same. Do I just start a new game? Or is it PC only?

 

[ChrisC]

Someone explain to me what Portal is?

I have bought The Orange Box and it comes on that. I have it installed, but not bothered with it. Been playing Half Life 2 related stuff.

What's the fuss about am I missing something wonderful here?

 

[dlx1]

I missing something wonderful here?

O yes. Have a look at Youtube (Portal)

 

[Crispy]

O yes. Have a look at Youtube (Portal)

No! Don't, that might spoil things.

It's great, Chris. A mixture of tight, innovative puzzling and some of the best writing and dark humour in videogames. Short and sweet. It's a masterpiece, IMO. Play it now.

Yes. I'd go so far as to say it's one of the very best games I've ever played.
Do not look at any Youtube stuff.

Just had to resinstall my windows partition (and put it a better GPU) so had to reinstall all my Steam games - started Portal from scratch again. What fun!

 

[dlx1]

I didn't mean at walkthroo!

Completed it all in one go yesterday and was so nauseous that I actually threw up an hour later.




Worth it.

 

[Mooncat]

Just finished Portal and Episode 2 this morning. Dunno what to do with myself now... Suppose I could... Enjoy the sunshine... or something

 

[The Groke]

The Sunshine is a lie.

[dervish]

I'm so loving this game at the moment,

Has to be the best game I've played all year.

Downloading prelude now..

 

[Crispy]

what kept you?!

 

[dervish]

Don't play games much, only discovered this cos I was looking for some new games for the laptop. Was really looking for a low impact simulation or stragy game, something I can play when it gets boring at work but I don't think I'd get any work done with this.
