I should do it now before I forget again.

Play with the commentary on for the 2nd run. I read that the only the last 7 levels were actual missions the rest was just to get you used to using the gun.

I didn't finish the game because I refused to kill the cube!

It was never alive my friend, it was never alive.

I think what people really enjoyed was that GlaDOS thought it was good at psychology but to a human it was laughable.

Since there's already a thread on this figured I would provide my input. Bought Orange Box earlier this week and decided to stop playing HL2 for a little bit to try the other games included and Portal was first on my list. Very cool and fun game. I really like the fact it's a puzzle type of game that you have to use your mind at rather than just shooting people or running around and collecting stuff.

I didn't particularly enjoy it. I played about 30 min or so and it's the first game I've ever played that gave me motion sickness LOL

I just finally played Portal too yesterday and today -- loved it. Including the ending song. Not going to make a Youtube dance video either though, lol.
