This was a triumph!

I'm making a note here, huge success!

It's hard to overstate my satisfaction....

The first three lines of that song pretty much sum up the game. I can't wait for Portal 2 to come out.

A perfect game, A+. Any and all should give it a whirl.

Welcome to the forums!

We had the most amazing bathroom graffitti going in the bathroom before they re-painted, pertaining to Portal.

"The Cake is a Lie" scrawled repeatedly on the wall, with various illustrations of cake, bunnies, and pinnochio surrounding it. And of course, the companion cube, added by yours truly.

I took pictures on my phone, oh how I wish I could upload them.

Monsieur Hacks, are you Teim incognito? Or a new member?

He's not me, don't worry.

I never got to finish Portal, due to an incident with my Xbox that involved it falling on it's side while I had the Orange Box running in it. The CD is on my wall now as the best and most expensive peice of useless plactic I own.

It was a good puzzle game though, I love that warm feeling you get when you finally finish a puzzle thats had you for the last twenty minutes.

I was planning on getting it...just that I don't have any money at the moment..

To many things to buy!

Portal looks good and seems very entertaining!

That game is soooooo trippy. I really want to own the plushy version of the companion cube. Right up there with those plushy random microbes.

Yeah, ive got issues.

but seriously, it is a genius of a game. Its one of those mond warpers like Eternal Darkness. The latter, i would highly suggest also to anyone.

One of the folks in the office was playing this a while back, and we eventually had a competition to see who finished it fastest their first time playing.

I found the actual puzzles to be embarrassingly easy, though I took an embarrassing amount of time to get used to the first-person perspective.

Recently this came out:

It's an unofficial expansion or somesuch. About as long or longer, professional quality, and substantially more engaging(actually difficult sometimes).
