    Portal

    Because it deserves it's own thread.

    I was "thinking in portals" all night and finished it up in about 3.5 hours. The best level imo was the 10th level because it was confusing as hell until you realize what you're supposed to do, which I didn't lol. The last level was fucking epic too, amazingly well done. I love this game and I wish they'd make it into some sort of longer single player game. I'd buy it independent of how much it costed.

    I know most people aren't getting it until tomorrow but I ordered mine online and they shipped today and I got it today, so I finished it tonight. Feel free to PM me questions about any level you might get stuck on but I advise playing through without help because it's so fun XD

    Re: Portal

    Isn't there supposed to be support for making your own levels? If so, give it a few weeks and I'm sure there will be a lot of user created levels you can download.

    I have a pounding fucking headache from playing it. The spinning around and such after you leave portals fucked me up big time.

    Re: Portal

    There are 19 levels, then there are advanced versions of levels and then there are challenge levels. Just like TF2 there are achievements to unlock as well.

    Magus, have you tried the advanced levels? If so, how in the hell are you supposed to get past the room with the four sentry guns and the gap in the middle?

    Re: Portal

    no mp (i believe i read it's being worked on, not sure though) but the puzzles and possibilities of the mod are so cool, and of course it won't be nearly as good as the portal that comes with orange box... for being free it's fun enough.

    tricen if you mean what i posted, if your computer can handle hl2 it can handle portal (exite) easy enough. i'm running on a 2.4 celeron with 512 ram and a 32 meg pci (not X, just regular) video card and i can handle medium settings on it easy.

    if not then my bad

    Seconded. I was hoping someone would already have a link to an MP3 or something in this thread already.
    I've had it on repeat for a while. A friend of mine sent it to me over MSN. xD

    Want to share the mp3? Just beat it (2h30min playtime or so) and loved it, plan on trying the advanced / challenge levels soon and i can't wait for custom levels. can see some crazy shit happening with it.

    Re: Portal

    Apologies for the noobiness, but, I DL'd the mod, but not sure how to run it. I've never really ran a mod of any game except BF2 which autoinstalled and ran from its own startup link ^^; Anyhow, any help appreciated.

    Edit: NVM -.-;;

    Re: Portal

    Can I just buy portal/TF2 together without having to buy HL2 ep1/ep2? Or do I have to bother with the orange box?

    Re: Portal

    You can buy them separately but it would probably cost as much to get the bundle.
