# heh lully
portal's cracking, can't wait for the next one, hope they keep making it cleverer.

# I was resisiting it for ages
because of twats on the web spouting catchprhases.

Thanksfully GlaDOS has many excellent lines and the "cake is a lie" thing didn;t annoy me too much.

And the credits music's bloody fantastic.

# the hype is deserved in this case
annoying as whittering nerds can be.

# same here
I hate those puzzle games, played Half Life for the atmosphere.. But yes Portal was top notch!

# hehe likewise
It was a lovely weekend and I sat inside as people wafted BBQ smoke into my window to tempt me out :)

# after the epic session
did you walk around town thinking about how to zap yourself about to get places faster?

# I did it in 2 sittings too
and then indeed wanted one for real.
Depressingly, I'd most likely just put one in a locked office at work and the other in my closet at home.

a number of games, mostly Titan Quest: Immortal Throne have had their claws into me too much for me to go back and do all the challenge levels though.

# i've been inspired to do it over
it's been long enough for me to have forgotten how i did most of the levels!

# They haven't announced a second one, but I do hope they do it.
If you're talking about the one they were talking about recently, that's just the standard game but with the "Flashportal Map pack" included, for consoles.

I really do hope they do make another one though.

# I've not looked
but it strikes me that there MUST be hundreds of shit fan-made levels and a few really, really great ones.
Anyone in a place where they can check? I doubt I can hide the kind of webpages that game modders make.

# The only decent one I know is this one....
portalmaps.wecreatestuff.com/

It's the map-pack of the flash version.
