Did I ever mention that I have this preordered?

Because I have this preordered.

ASHPD, but otherwise yes, agreed. Besides, who needs public transportation when you're thinking with portals?

I'd only take the ASHPD if I cold get leg supports, too.

I wouldn't be particularly tempted to be flying around at great height anyway. You'll still die if you hit a wall.

Yeah - Or if it's too impractical to keep changing portals you could at least save on transport fees and time by leaving a portal at your departure point, and making another at your destination. Of course you'd have to do that again when you needed to go somewhere else unless you have multiple ASHPDs, 'cause you can only have 2 portals open per gun at any one time, but that'd still be awesome.

I'd probably just leave one portal on the back of my house and use it to wander with impunity, knowing I could always get back. And the return trip is always the hardest, so it would be good for that.

Saw a billboard for Portal 2 today coming home from school. I like that Valve advertises here, they had a different billboard in the same area for L4D2. It somehow makes me feel special.

I wish they'd advertise Valve games in Finland. They don't.

Count me in as one of the people who just pre-ordered, now that I actually have a PC powerful enough to play it on. :D Awesomesauce.

Been waiting 3 years for this.

Watch it in full screen on 720 or 1080. Read the find print. Laugh.

Valve knows how to make trailers, haha.

"Just try and get close to that baby, your funeral." - I love this trailer! :D

Epic.

Also, anyone know how to get that Portal Pin for TF2? I thought it would be pre-Order Portal 2 however nobody has got it.

They've updated it.

@Nate: Lol at 'Empathy Generator -> Empathy Supressor' and the entire corporte concept of 'Empathy Suppression'.

Also Awww... at 'I'm different...'

Anyone agree with me when I say I like the orginal Cubes to the Portal 2 ones.

Are you talking about the cubes that reflect thermal discouragement beams? There are different to the weighted cubes which look pretty much the same save for a glowy ring.

Strange Portal 2 comic that seems to follow Portal 1's story from the perspective of the Ratman:

http://www.thinkwithportals.com/comic/

Produced in-house by Valve, it's designed to bridge the gap between Portal 1 and Portal 2, to expand the story. See if you can spot the Half-Life references. :)

Cool! I love story progression. But... does this mean we're going to see this guy in Portal 2? He's obviously going in after her.

I'm posting it all (including the newly released second half), because everyone reading this thread will probably want to read it. EDIT: Fine. Whatever. Excuse me for trying to make your life a little simpler.

The dark humour's getting really dark now. Also, frickin' huge Portal 1 spoilers ahead.

So yeah, it's definitely Ratman and he was alive and actively helping Chell during Portal 1 (though he was responsible for her ordeal in the first place). Also, yay at CCube.

That is certainly interesting. I'm excited about the 21st. I've told everyone that I'm busy that day.

Meech was it really necessary to post the entire fucking thing here? Jeez... we know how to work a link you know.

What Havoc said.

Yeah, that was really fucking annoying.

Agreed. Please edit it out from your post. Anyone who's interested can just click the bloody link; it's not like it's a difficult thing to do.

Yeah, you could've said that Part 2 was out now.

Oh and Chell in action:

Max and Nate you two are the laziest mods I've ever seen.

Goddamnit, I'm really starting to want Portal 2 now, but I already pre-ordered Mortal Kombat and I'm most likely getting L.A. Noire.

If L.A. Noire turns out to be average, I'm getting Portal 2.

Says you.

Says me.
