In an unrelated note, my second kidney is for sale.

Yes. If you aren't playing Portal right now, sell some part of your body and buy the Orange Box. Amazing. Also (mild spoiler but not really) Did you see the Aperture crates in Episode 2? (end mild spoiler but not really) I did not play Episode 2, but I will be watching Will play and I will definitely keep an eye out. Also a mild spoiler though, did you see the projection screens in the Aperture labs? I took screenshots. |

Yeah, the Black Mesa vs. Aperture ones? Just awesome.

Also, I loved the room dedicated to the Companion Cube. I took screenshots of the cube, the room, and the thing at the end of the game...ya know the one (don't want to spoil the ending and all). I love companion cube.  |

Holy CrapYou know, I was talking about capcom doing this... I was talking about it to vinny. I was like, "You know what would be cool? If they made a next gen Bionic Commando game. It could have an updated image, cool graphics, a modern main character, and of course a bigass grappling hook claw arm. That would be so cool, but would never happen ever, in a million years." Now, please tell me I'm not the only person in the world who knows Bionic Commando.

I know it because you talk about it, and I hope I'm remembering it correctly when I say it's the game where you kill Hitler and he explodes into pixelated gib-bits.  Also, they could've chosen better hair for him.  |

I agree about the hair... and yes, that is the game, you kill Hitler and it shows (in perhaps the only NES game I have ever seen) pixelated 8-bit gore.

I just have to say, Portal is joy^2. And once I replace my failed power supply on my new computer (core 2 duo E6850, 4gb ram, two Nvidia 8800gtx's, plenty of fans etc.) I'm going to be playing Bioshock. My current setup is slow enough to make it hard to aim, and it's tough to play like that.

Portal is amazing good, yes. And Episode 2 and TF2 are all amazing games...
The only problem is I keep having the game lock up. I went all the way through portal without it locking up, and I played through much of Episode 2 as well... but now it locks up regularly when I play any orange box game. A lot of people seem to be having the problem, related to the Kernel Page Memory and stuff... but I don't seem to be having any problem with that...
I hope I find out what the problem is.

My computer is pimp so it obeys Portal and TF2 without question.  |

There's a demo for Hellgate:London? How did I miss that?
[edit] Also I fixed the crashing problem, and was able to beat Portal and Ep2. Amazing games!

The Hellgate London demo is pretty bad. I am, however, in the beta testing, and that is a lot more fun. It's similar to Diablo 2 (imagine that) in that, if someone wrote down on paper the gameplay, you would think it wasn't that good. When you actually play, however, its very addicting and fun.

Yeah the demo isn't cool. I mean, hacking things up is always fun, but I hate the way my girl character moves. She hunches when she runs, and it looks retarded. ALSO! Valve is making a Companion Cube desktop toy. I am so buying it!!!  |

That's all I wanted to hear, then  After playing the demo I was like, "Well, this has potential, but there's not enough to tell if its actually good or not" |
