Portal

how the fuck is there not a thread on this? (don't bother linking me, there probably is and i didn't see it, fuck you)


seriously, the game's short...but thats about the only bad thing i can say about it. beat the regular campaign and shit yesterday, fucking fantastic. definitely had me cracking up all the way to the end too

There was one ages ago, but now that it's out I must attain it

Definitely dying to play it, but can't afford $60 right now...

I'm not even angry. I'm being so sincere right now. Even though you broke my heart and killed me. And tore me to pieces. And threw every piece into a fire.

It was awesome.

I thought it was over after the challenges, but its not

Oh, and some subtle background information that I picked up from inside the game.


*KINDA BUT NOT REALLY SPOILERS*


Portal takes place pre-HL1. Aperture Laboratories is a private company which competed directly against Black Mesa for DOD contracts. And I suspect that post-HL1, they started to work with the Combine. Look at your character. Notice the leg braces? They are the same braces used with the stalkers, aka combine slaves.

Ok, I just finished episode 1, and it doesn't appear that they've worked with the combine. They aren't the good guys still though.

Not what I was talking about at all!

I got me a bit of an old PC. Did Valve increase system spec requirements for the Orange Box, or is everything pretty much the same as CS Source and Half Life 2?

my computer ain't that amazing and everything runs fine now on mone

Recommended specs:

Pentium 4 3.0ghz
1gb RAM
DirectX 9 Graphics card (heh)

My P4 1.9Ghz ran HL 2 not too bad, a little choppy at parts, but overall I could still play and enjoy the game. Whateva

sweet jesus yes!

When you play this game, There is one thing you need to know....

THE CAKE IS A LIE!

Zero Punctuation on The Orange Box

You can use the portal gun in HL2, here's how



Now, follow our instructions below to the letter and you�ll be firing your gravity gun through portals at unsuspecting Combine in no time.

* First off, backup up your entire Portal directory in a safe place. It�s the folder marked �portal� in ..\Steam\steamapps\(your_steam_id)\. We, nor Valve, take any responsibility in the unlikely event of you hosing your game files. Worse comes to worse though, you could always just redownload.
* Next, download and install, if you haven�t already, GCFScape. This handy program will allow you to access the cached game files for any Source-powered game, in addition to several other Steam games you may have downloaded.
* Once that�s done, browse to the directory ..\Steam\steamapps\. There, you�ll see all the available GCF archives. We�ll start with Half-Life 2.
* Open the GCF marked �half-life 2 content.gcf� You�ll see a directory tree in the left pane. Click the box to the left of the folder marked �hl2� to see the directory listing contained within it. Then, right-click �maps,� select �Extract� and extract the entire folder into the directory \Steam\steamapps\(your_steam_id)\portal\portal. This will merge it with the existing Portal map folder.
* Do the same with the �scenes� folder
* Fire up Steam and run Portal. When it�s done doing its thing, open up the developer console with �~� (you may need to enable it under your keyboard options).
* At the console, type �maps *� to list all the available maps. Now that you�ve imported the Half-Life 2 maps, this will be a fairly lengthy list and some of the names, like citadel and canals, should seem familiar.
* Type �map� and then the map name to open that map. For instance, �map d1_canals_01�
* When the map is done loading, pull up the console again and enable cheats by entering �sv_cheats 1�
* To give yourself all weapons, including the portal gun, enter �impulse 101�
* Depending on how far you got in Portal, you may need to upgrade the portal gun to fire both portals. Enter �upgrade_portalgun� to do so
* Go lay waste to some alien scum with the power of portals!
