Fuck you all for having Portal 2. :<

I want it too, but I don't have mooooonneeeeeeyyyy.
About a month ago, neither did I. That's why I did something with my money, which I think they call 'saving'. [Sarcasm circuit test, successful.]

Absolutely loved it even though I completed it in just one afternoon, and it did feel like some of the new gimmicks weren't as developed as they could have been. I also missed the High Energy Pellets, though I can understand why they didn't include all of the gimmicks from the previous game.
I also wish there'd been a bit more test chamber 16-style content (the one that was replaced by a live fire course). There was disappointingly little slow, thought-out close-quarters interaction with the turrets. It was mostly all either too quick to think about or a case of killing them from a distance with the various gadgets.

But yeah, I did really enjoy it. The ending was lunacy (see what I did there?) and brilliant, with a great parallel to the battle with GLaDOS; I think they constructed a really brilliant, really fitting ending for the game's story, and it gives at least some information about the far-off end of the Half Life series (the Combine hasn't destroyed the Moon and the Earth supports plant-life! Omigosh!)

The song was brilliant.
My favourite quote was Wheatley's, "It's alright, I'll manually override it - I'll manually override that wall." Also there were some turrets in a secret room in one of the earlier test chambers which were engaged in a truly hilarious activity.

Now I need someone to do multiplayer with...
