Portal. That's Aperture's logo. Taken from one of the game's textures.

Aperture Science is the creator of Borealis! =O


Yeah, that was shocking. Also, some of the schematic textures in the game's .GCF files say the ship was transporting a GLaDOS!

I particularly love the turrets that you come up against...Are you still there?  There you are.  Put me down!  Hey!  I don't hate you.  Etcetera, etcetera...

And the boss going crazy at the end..."Don't believe me?  Here, I'll put you on...<dorky>Hello!</dorky> That's you!  That's how DUMB you sound!"...Classic...

I've gone and uploaded the ending theme and a few sound clips...


Yeah, They jammed a lot of personality into the GLaDOS fight. Especially how each one of her "brain spheres" has it own personality. I loved the curiosity one. "Hey, you're the lady from the test! Hi!" "Where are we going?" "Eww, what's wrong with your legs" "Do you smell something burning?".

What's your laptop's stats? If you can run the Half-Life 2 demo, you can probably run the Orange Box.

Welcome to the Aperture Science Enrichment Center. One the test is over, you will be baked [Garbled words] cake.

Anyway, Portal is one of the games that comes with the Orange Box. It's best called a first-person puzzle game, as while it uses the same engine as Half-Life 2 and Counter-Strike, the only weapon you have is your trusty Portal Gun (NOTE: Do not submerge in water, even partially) and your not-so-trusty brain.

I'll throw some screenshots up later, but at its basic level Portal is about getting from Point A to Point B. But normally this would be impossible, but not with your Aperture Science Enrichment Center Handheld Portal Device. The game itself is only 19 Test Chambers, but that's not counting the Bonus Maps, Challenges, ending levels and, of course, user-made maps.

Now for the plot:
You play as a test participant (willing or unwilling is unknown) named Chell Johnson. Yes, it's a woman. I'd like to say this: NO SHE'S NOT AN ANDROID OR COMBINE. THOSE THINGS ON HER LEGS KEEP THEM FROM BREAKING AFTER EACH FALL. Anyway, Chell is much like Gordon Freeman in that she never says anything. But that doesn't mean Portal doesn't have personality. That comes for the AI giving you directions, GLaDOS. Some of the things she says are hilarious, especially the ending song. You're promised cake at the end of the test, but the scribblings on the walls from previous test participants tell a different story...

I can't be the only one loving this game on NWR.

Which game? If you're saying that about Fallout, there's something wrong.

I'm serious, I'm a townie.

As for why I'm not on much, lots to do (and Portal, the cake is a lie!).

Urg. I've got a lot of work on my plate right now, plus the Orange Box came out (I'm in love with Portal, GLaDOS rocks), so I haven't been on much.

Fallout is what every RPG should aspire to be.

...But that's just my opinion. I can't stand FF-style RPGs where you don't have any choices.

I got kinda irritated by the bump mapping in Halo 3. It's great when left subtle, but they used it way too much. Look at Hood's face, he looks like a damn zombie.
