Loved this game, so did my housemate who doesn't really play games but played through it in one sitting. It's pretty short and easy though, hope the sdk comes out soon for some player designed maps.

I'm actually stuck with portal atm.  I'm on the level that introduces the Companion Cube (17 I believe)

I'm at the point where you need to hold two doors open, and let the beam thing shoot the beam catching thing.  It's pretty cool though.

been there done that and yes, a fun level

I played the flash version, it's pretty fun, got to like level 35.

if you need help on what to do there:
you can stand on one button and put the cube on the other

also, on a funny side note, the local traffic information station in my area on 1630 AM has the same synthesized female voice as the one used in Portal. I don't think i could ever take that voice seriously now.

The voice in Portal isn't synthesized. GLaDOS has a real voice actor, but they did modify the audio on the voice to make it sound more synthetic.

I wanna play Portal SO BAD, but all the illegal downloaded versions I've gotten make my PC restart whenever it gets to the LOADING screen. >:

this is a pretty bad complaint

Yeah, portal is pretty awesome.
I have beaten all of the normal levels and advanced levels,
I'm working on the challenges now. I've gotten perfect for portals on level 15 and 16 (or possibly it was 14 and 16)
the rest are really tough

man that was so good! I got the one from the zoo, but I think I'm going to GO CRAZY and buy it before I do any of the bonus levels

but man, that was really just enjoyable all the way through. there are some really brilliant people using the hl source engine or whatever it's called! in recent years, I don't think I've ever wanted to play an fps that's not a source mod or developed by valve

I see what you guys are saying about this becoming part of a half-life game, but the same time I'm pretty glad this game won't be the last we hear of this stuff. edit: by this I mean GLaDOSxChell fanfics

ALSO the ending was kind of ruined for me it was too hyped for me  to enjoy it for what it is

I flooded the enrichment center with a deadly neurotoxin to make me stop flooding the enrichment center with a deadly neurotoxin.

GLaDOSxChell fanfics

What?

No... seriously... what?

well naturally there would be a glad/chell/companion cube relationship triangle. hehh I guess you must be a Chell 'x' WCC shipper... (also maybe not realize I'm not being serious here?)

Isn't that more of a... great feature than a bad thing.

The cake isn't a lie dammit! I saw it at the end! Now I wish I stayed behind 'cause it looked tasteeeeeeee!

it was philosophical, because the game was a piece of cake.
it was delicious for a few moments, and you wanted to eat more, but there was only one piece...

If you wanna get technical, there were 19 pieces. I actually liked how it was so short. I completed it in one sitting and it was entertaining 100% of the time (unlike Half Life 2 and it's episodes).

I was just reading online that someone has modded Half-Life 2 so you can use the Portal gun.  I haven't tried it myself, but I imagine that would be pretty cool too!

It's not actually a half-life 2 mod, if anything it's a portal mod.  All you have to do is import the half-life 2 maps and scenes into the portal folder.  You'll have to get a program to open up the gcf's, but that's it.  You just go into portal after that, open up the console, and load a half-life 2 map, then you can start playing through half-life 2 with the portal gun (after you use the impulse 101 cheat to get all guns or some other way to get the portal gun)

It's a whole TON of fun playing through Half-Life 2 that way :P
