Nice, and it is playable too.

Played it. It's hard as heck. The opening music is pretty amazing, though.

Actually I never managed to roll it over either- I just took a screenshot of it after you crash-land in the Citadel to take care of Saren. And yes the handling SUCKS. I fell off the edge of that mountain road so many times...

Got a new computer yesterday, so now I can finally play all the games on my steam account- just had my first bit of Portal!

This could be epic... I'd love to see how this plays out; might even be better than the city of Rapture. :DD

I don't have a problem drivin' the Mako, is just a little more twitchy warthog and I can make one of those dance.

Fox News (an oxymoron in of itself to begin with)brings a piece of news about Medal of Honor and how you can "Play as the Taliban and gun down American troops." Even though playing as the Taliban in MoH is limited to multiplayer where SOMEONE has to play as the bad guy. The person they interviewed was more or less brought in to try and stir things up.

Although the game is based on real current events the actual story itself is fictional and multiplayer is never based on real events either.

This just feels like another stupid attempt to bash video games so people can rally together and try and force laws to censor them.

I really hope EA doesn't back down from this. I've been pissed off at these whiny jerks since Six Days in Fallujah got dropped.

New Portal 2 game footage. 'Nuff said.

Words cannot adequately express my love for this.

Looks awfully complicated and scary. The more scary Portal gets, the less I like playing it.

Portal 2 is going to be epic. And probably much bigger than the last one.

Just beat Portal again today for the fourth time. On a related note:

Still Alive slowed down 800%

It's an interesting listen to say the least.

Wow, very intresting sound.

I don't want to watch that video.
If I were to watch I'd enjoy immesurably, but I don't want to watch it.
Valve would never put major spoilers in a trailer, but I don't want to watch it.
All I know of the game has come from a PC Gamer preview article which described the opening moments and some of the new mechanics.
I want to watch it but Portal was a dish best served fresh and I don't want to spoil things for myself.
I want Valve to hurry up and release it so I don't go insane, but that would mean compromising the quality of the game; something I would never want Valve to ever, ever do.
I'm going to go insane, aren't I?
(800% slower credits song is rather soothing. Cheers, Nilo.)

As is tradition Halo: Reach was recently leaked.

What have we learned Microsoft?

You're going to go insane, yes.

I don't play video games very often, but I fell in love with Portal. It is, quite easily, hands down, the best game I have ever played, ever. My only complaint about the game is that it's too short.

I do believe that they've drastically lengthened the game now, with all the new mechanics. I truly cannot wait to dive back into the story, the preview looks amazing. If you know me at all and my attitude in general towards TV and video games, this is a ringing endorsement.

Completely unrelated to what we're talking about, but I couldn't fit the thought into the 5 word thread. Nilo. You're a furry. You're going to the navy. You liked the movie Avatar.

I note the similarities between the word Navy and Na'Vi. So, tell me, are you going to be a tall blue tree cat?
