i too have fallen under the Portal spell. the whole Orange Box is superb but that little game gave me one of the best experiences gaming i've had in a long time. here's hoping for some DLC levels down the road. !!!!!!

That was delicious. But I was really wanting to see him open a portal on the floor under the Combine.

And if he was really cruel, make the Combine fall 30,000 feet.

I love PORTAL like a fat kid loves cake... but man, I am *never* going to play that game as tipsy as I was yesterday. I gave such an offering to the porcelain god...

...no wonder they offer cake and not a cold beer at the end. :\ -cue TF2 fail music-

I don't know, seems to make HL2 not a lot of fun now. I think the draw of portal to me was in solving puzzles, not using it to chesse my way behind opponents.

Agreed, but if you consider the idea of using the portal gun in new, specifically designed areas that combine the puzzle solving aspects of Portal with the gunplay of Half Life, then I think you have a winner. That's what I'm hoping Episode 3 will largely be.

Yeah, makes Half-Life way too easy. Kind of defeats the purpose of being paranoid all the time in FPS, always keeping your back to walls.

Now, imagine how much fun/terrifying/crazy it would be if THEY had portal guns as well. Now we've got something.

@copa, from the site:

"Sadly, NPC’s and enemies cannot pass through portals. However, almost all ammunition, from bullets shot to grenades tossed to objects flung with the gravity gun, can and will make their way through smoothly. "

Very inventive, and excellent comic timing (accidental obviously) when he walks, just like "ok then."

lol awesome!

PC > 360

Also I assume you still take fall damage in HL2, so don't do anything like try to make an infinite loop, or you're in for a world of hurt when you land.

Man Portal is an amazing game. Though I do think its inclusion in Half-Life 2 would make the game much easier.

Tried it out, but it isn't flawless yet, the portal gun seems buggy in normal Half Life 2 levels and it would be cool if Valve would release a patch where you can just spawn the portal gun in normal HL2 (so you can play a complete game without having to load maps everytime).

One thing I never understood about HL2 is that a lot of the road signs appear to be in Russian yet everyone speaks English with an American accent.

Actually, it's more likely because people were translocated there.

you can't open a port below an enemy and have them fall to their doom? aw man


and that player was using godmode, that's the way to not die from portal falls

yeah, i read the article. i wonder if you could load the portal gun among other portal resources in hl2, the way they loaded hl2 resources in portal


also, hl2 is awesome. i remember one time i fucked around with the gravity settings enough so that when things got hit they lost their attachment to gravity and floated like in space

My friends and I ordered 3 copies of Orange Box from Toys R Us (buy 2 get one free until Saturday). Until it gets here I'm keeping myself busy with the flash version of Portal.

Actually the Flash version is a pretty good idea of what the real game is like, minus the humor. What level are you on, I'm stuck on 38!

yeah 38 was a toughie, take out the turrets first though, it makes it a lot easier


and on 39/40, remember you can jump pretty high and you can glitch portals a lil bit thru the holes in walls while jumping
