I can't remember the last time I watched the credits for a video game. 
That song is great!

Overall, it was a really fun game.  The puzzles weren't as hard (or 
annoying) as the flash version (though I haven't tried the bonus levels, 
yet), and the length felt right (not too long, not too short).

Who wants to bet that the next Half Life will have some type of Portal 
gun? :)

It should, considering.  I don't know if you've played Episode 2 or not yet, but
it seems like a fairly reasonable thing for them (The Resistance) to be able to
build, albeit not that small.

I'm just curious as to *when* the next Half-Life will come out.  I haven't heard
much of anything about it.

I haven't played it yet.  I got the Orange Box and Mass Effect at the 
same time off eBay a few weeks ago, and started playing Mass Effect first.

Unfortunately, the dialogue was so atrocious that I had to put it down 
(the first time that's happened to me with a Bioware game).  So I 
started on Portal, and just finished it this afternoon.  I should have 
done so earlier, but I haven't had much time to play this week.

Next, I'll start on Episode 1, then 2.

Yep.. ;)

Strangely enough I recently downloaded the game (what, last week?) Great 
game!

My wife was getting annoyed at the computer's voice, though.

To increase motivation levels, a penalty was been added. Touching the

I got bored of it pretty quickly, I don't know how many levels there are or 
how many I did, but it seemed like I did 30 or so and they were all very 
repetitive.

Yeh, it would be a good thing to have in another game, but I don't think it 
works to well as the main and only concept for an entire game.

In places it *is* kind of frustrating being surrounded by gun-toting 
robots and being completely unarmed.

Did you know there's an extra challenge where you redo one of the 
levels, except that you can't kill any of the robots? As far as I can 
tell, this level is mathematically impossible, but anyway...

I think the idea of the "challenges" is a bit lame. Hey, redo this 
puzzle you already did, except now it's even more tedious.

Still, I liked the game in general, even if it was a little too hard in 
places.
