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
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.
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.

Re: Portal
I loved every minute of the game.
I felt really bad killing those bots though...
and the eyeball thingies at the end didn't deserve to go the way they did, lol

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.

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?
