Disturbing final song and everything.
I mean, Portal’s
bloody cheap now. Of course, so was Tomb Raider Anniversary, and that might take me a while to run through. I think that this is the secret: wait until the cool games are sufficiently old enough that you can buy them for cheap and play them on obsolete computers.
Hey: I’m lame. I admit it.

Portal is made by Valve, one of the best PC game producers. I recently bought Portal and can say it’s well worth the money. I purchased mine in “The Orange Box,” which is a collection of the best of Valve. I highly recommend it if you’re anything more than a casual gamer. That, and Portal ties into the Half-Life series.
I was unspoiled on the song until I played the game. Well worth it.
*pauses to play the video, despite having the song on iTunes and the iPod, despite knowing every word of the song, and despite wanting to get some work done*
I’m just glad the game works even if you haven’t played Half Life, because Half Life 2 does *not* work if you haven’t played Half Life.
In fact I might be more inclined to play a Half Life 3 if GlaDOS is still alive, and I get a portal gun to go with my gravity gun.
I’m actually working my way through Half Life again, well, Half Life Source, which is Half Life ported to the HL2 engine, as something to play on my shiny new computer. I pretty much consider HL to be the height of first person shooters and it’s all been basically downhill since then.
If you look in the credits, the voice of the female Overwatch voice is the same as that of GlaDOS.
I never played Half-Life, I just read the Wikipedia plot summary.
