Portal (SPOILERS)

C'mon, no one here played this yet? Sure, it's super-short, but also the most fun I've had playing for a long while. And damn, the plot and ending are nothing like I expected, and yes, they are both great. The song at the end is pure awesomeness.

Now who managed to beat all the advanced levels? They can be pretty tricky, took me a bit over an hour

Portal ROCKED.

Still doing the advanced puzzles.

Aye, played it myself, agree about the shortness (which is shame) but man is it worth every penny Just about to start on the advanced rooms/puzzles.

Got the money together and just finished it...Still alive *whistle*

I found the plot/ending quite intriguing as well, maybe someone can have a mod add "Spoilers!" to the title so we can discuss our theories?

/Edit: If you extract the GCF file, you'll find the "Soundtrack", which includes "Still alive"

that's one of the funniest songs I've heard in a while

Can't beat Orange Box really... HL2, both episodes, portal, and team fortress for the price of one game? Sweet. Too bad I already have HL2 and episode 1

It's not a habit, it's cool, I feel alive...

I already had HL2 and EP1 but I gave them to my brother
I think it's cool that they let you gift the extra copies, so you don't technically 'double dip'


check this out:
ApertureScience
in one of the secret rooms I found scrawled on the wall a username and password: 'cjohnson' and 'tier3'
I think it was the companion cube level

also I just finished EP2 and Kleiner mentioned Aperture Science and there was also the Aperture logo on the video of the Borealis
very interesting

I wonder if there will ever be a crossover between Portal and HL. I wonder if Gordon will get to use the Portal Gun . . .
