    If you aren't in the know,
    portal was a single player, 1st person computer game which made a huge splash back in 2007:
    [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TluRVBhmf8w[/YOUTUBE]
    (trailer)

    Personally I liked it (not really liking video games) because it was puzzle based, not to mention hilarious, witty, clever, and looked nice and shiny.

    Last week the company (Valve) that made portal updated the game with hidden easter eggs that lead to images from the highly anticipated sequel that was announced a few days after.

    Thoughts?

    I totally loved the geeky treasure hunt for the hints of the sequel :slight_smile:

    But look at us still talking when there's science to do .. :wave:

    Thanks Eccentric,
    odd post I know, but it was playing around in my mind, and my mind is an odd place...it made sense at the time!
    But being as gay as I am, the thing I was annoyed about most with the sequel was the new costume...

    where can you get this?

    This looks like one of the mind bending puzzle logic games that can't be playd the same way twice.

    I literally jumped for joy when I saw the cover for this in the latest Gameinformer. Super stoked, can't wait, and got to play the first one again and see the new ending! :grin:

    Well I just spent 3 hours pouring over the new gameinformer,
    and apart from gasping at the spoilers I now am even more twitchy with excitement over the new game... (which is weird, me and video games normally have this hate/hate relationship)

    So now I have no choice but to go and make a portal costume...
    I like something? Quick! I had better sew it!
