Grim Reaper 17 years ago

Valve's new game, to be shipped along with Team Fortress 2 and Half-Life 2: Episode 2.

I'm not thinking with Portals, but I'd like to.

E_net4 17 years ago

It's almost coming, folks!

Crazy 17 years ago

Ew.

Also, it would seem that the person that made the macrocats thingy appeared on IRC.

Coincidence?

Amarth 17 years ago

Portal stuff. To be fair, I thought about doing this too, but I probably couldn't get it working as well as this.

I bought The Orange Box, it should be arriving via mail sometime next week.

...Via snail mail?!? What the freak!?

Why the hell would I use Steam?

And I finished it. Fun stuff, this stuff. I hope the 3D one is as good.

MageKing17 17 years ago

That is a very interesting little flash. I played through ~30 something levels before I stopped. Fun, to be sure. Can't wait for the 3D version to arrive.

Idiota 17 years ago

Yeah, the only thing that really made me stop playing was the fact that I was supposed to be at work.

Amarth 17 years ago

Okay. Portal is really, really good. It's a bit slow at the start (because they have to get the learning curve right for everyone - it's a totally different game) but it's a fun little puzzler, and the ending is lovely. It finishes quickly, but after that there's the challenges, and believe me, those are *hard*.

Now, Ep2.

[edit]Slightly spoilerish, but those who finished the game will love this: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=173586&site=pcg">http://www.computerandvideogames.com/ar ... 6&site=pcg</a>

Bought Orange Box two days ago, and I have finished both Portal and Ep2. Both games are awsome games.

Just wanted to say that Portal and Ep2 have much in common in terms of storyline than you might think.

MageKing17 17 years ago

Got Orange Box in mail. Parents decided I haven't been doing enough schoolwork. Orange Box taken away before I even got it open.

Goddamn parents.

E_net4 17 years ago

XD Go do them works, then.

Back to Portal, what is the funniest thing to do with the ASHPD? Discuss.

Amarth 17 years ago

Ingame or not?

I mean, ingame, it creates portals on walls, woohoo. But in real life... Well, it'll still create portals on walls, but there's a few more interesting walls to try it on, I suppose.

Sounds like your parental units are malfunctioning. You better get them fixed.

varsi 17 years ago

I finished Portal in ~4 hours (all the chambers).
Haven't completed all the advanced mabs yet thought.

I hope you meant the post-escape levels too by that (all the chambers).

Amarth 17 years ago

Won't take you much longer than 4 hours indeed. Steam reports 4.7 hours of Portal play for me, and I've been doing a couple of advanced maps and the start with developer commentary (which is interesting, if you're into game design). So I suppose somewhere around 3.5 or 4 hours for the main game.
