Before Valve's new game comes out later this month, we thought we might interest you in a supplemental comic, Portal 2: Lab Rat. What, you'd prefer some crummy video game instead? Think about it. Would you rather (1) dirty your hands hands interacting to force the fun out of a disc or (2) just look at a screen and have the fun happen to you? When the first part debuts on IGN Comics tomorrow, the choice will be clear.
Besides, the comic has people like Powers co-author Michael Avon Oeming, and Erik Wolpaw and Chet Faliszek working on it. Nobody at Valve could possibly compete with -- oh, really? All of them work there?
... Well, the comic's also free.

Maybe it's just this pic, but it looks like they omitted Chell's racial ambiguity in this comic. She looks as pale as a Whitey McMMOPlayer :s
Lame...

How can this possibly be good when someone has a bot says, "target acquired?" That screams that they have a writer on it who's never so much as watched someone playing the game.

@Godmars Except I'm pretty sure the turrets in the game actually say that? Just imagine it with a cute girl voice.

No one ever mentions that Jay Pinkerton also works at Valve as a writer.
Probably because he's Canadian...
Racists.
