[Multiplatform] Portal (Delicious Cake)

Been replaying the game with the commentary running, and boy is it dry. Guess that's what happens when you ask a bunch of programmers to share their thoughts on the game, though. I was amused by the fact that they only came up with the companion cube because playtesters kept ditching the box and tried to time their run down the hallway instead, so they needed to find a way to get players to keep the box...

I wouldn't count on it. Portal is pretty processor intensive for obvious reasons. My computer (to my surprise) handles Half Life 2 pretty well with most of the eye candy on, but there were occasions where Portal just made it cry. Playing the "Run around in circles" game sends my framerate into the toilet.

Also, yeah, invulnerable my ass. Even the turrets can still kill you in commentary mode. Maybe they realized you could get stuck if you were invincible, since there's no way to climb back out of the death water in several parts.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

No, I would not suggest buying the Orange Box if you don't want Half-Life 2 or Team Fortress, but if you just want Portal there's this thing called Steam. Perhaps you've heard of it.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
