Through the Portal: For science!

Bells · 04-14-2011, 02:00 PM

So, this thread is for 2 things:

First... Portal 2 is coming, and i'm sure quite a few of you are getting the game. So, that is great. We now have a thread to discuss portal 2.

Secondly, this Thread is also for discussing the ARG for Portal 2, for those curious about it.

I just want to point out that this ARG seems so freaking Convoluted, i can't hardly think of myself as being a part of this stuff. Some people just have WAY too much time in their hands.

Funny thing though, it seems that the ARG developers themselves are part of the ARG crew in the forums... many of the "ARG players" have disapeared, their accounts "hacked" and strange "GLADoS" like messages have appeared in the ARG website.

Fun to watch, but wouldn't touch this stuff with a 10ft pole...!

when is portal 2 coming out anyways?

Melfice · 04-14-2011, 02:17 PM

Next week if all goes well.
21st or 22nd in the Netherlands (and very most likely the rest of Europe?)

18th, I think, for the US and Canada.

But this IS Valve. We all know they do funky stuff with time.

Valve: Time? What's that? The wizard in the back tells us when to release stuff!

Nope. We got Portal 2 in today. It's definitely coming out on Tuesday in NA. I could go play it right now to prove it to you!

Pyros can't do much in the ARG because there was math! NOBODY SAID THERE'D BE MATH!

If saving the world from an insane murderous robot obsessed with cake and a distinct lack of subtlety requires me to know the fibonacci whateverTF, then the world is screwed.

Or it would be if it weren't for the fact I could beat Portal without the portal gun, and am handy with a potato peeler.

I'm so jazzed.

I'm going to wait until the 20th to play though. It's going to be difficult to resist, but it will be worth it.

tried pre-ordering it, steam wont let me buy it (with credit card or pay pal) and then it wouldn't let me contact tech support

Play it, beat it, and spoil the ending for everyone.

Does Gordon Freeman save the day? I bet Gordon Freeman saves the day.
