Hey guys, Might be the U.S. much better off keeping Syria's Assad?

So , so, SO true.

[url=#user_comment_61767]@Narbodi[/url] Inside the Companion cube is love!

@Dead Herald
Even considering the not so perfect state of companion cube? Q_Q

PORTAL2

portal
portal2

Sooo... since they're referred throughout the game as Aperture Science Weighted STORAGE Cubes, I have to ask.

Has anyone else found themselves wondering what one might find by cracking open one?

Or what the Companion Cube would have inside?

So satisfying I didn't mind that I was on a rail. Really... I was heading that direction anyways... on my way to brutally dismantle two of the most aggrieving creatures in the Half-Life extended universe.

I guess by the time I was getting near the end of the 1st part (going to see "her" again) I was feeling a bit angry. Then "he" started in and I got really mad. I was really happy we I got to shot a portal at "it" that was so satisfying.

Remember, kids, dark environments are stylish!

(I know that's not what this comic is getting at)

[url=#user_comment_61760]@Cirno[/url]: The jury is still out on that one, some guy named Schrodinger can't make up his mind.

So, is the cat alive or not?

This Means Absolutely nothing and That cube is quite the looker.

You know I was looking at the Test chambers up there and if they are basically the same with except with Portal 2 Trimming the fat (Portal Surfaces) away.
I really only see one way to finish it unless the pit is filled with Blue Goo and since we know only Portal 2 Has Blue Goo Theoretically

[url=#user_comment_61713]@Alex[/url]: Also that health problem might only apply to manufacturing. Chell has had worse things near or on her, and not forgetting the (65% more bullet per) bullets. I suspect Chell may have super-healing... considering.. well... you'll figure it out...

[url=#user_comment_61713]@Alex[/url]: To continue this purposely-vague conversation: That thing that happens was probably only capable of happening with the current ASHPD, the older models probably lacked the finesse for that.

I personally liked the change to remove a lot of the twitch factor from Portal 2. It's worse knowing what you are supposed to do but failing 10 times because you can't get the correct portal off in time or its 1 inch away from where it's supposed to be.

[url=#user_comment_61719]@ghostjustin4[/url]: It's alright, you can be one of us people who torments "miners" for being the pervy pedos that they are.

This is what made me sad about Portal 2.

Too many times the only reason I was stuck was because I couldn't see the white panel.
And similarly the most fun I had was when I was spraying conversion gel everywhere and could solve a puzzle however I wanted.

Jo, you are so right on with this comic. And I didn't even realize it myself.

I think this almost makes the campaign feel like one massive tutorial, which leaves potential for endless custom rooms or future challenge dlc. I loved the campaign and co-op, but I think that with proper dlc support (which Valve does better than anyone) the possibilities are endless...

KILLING YOUR CO-OP PARTNER IS FUN >:D

i'm f***ing tired of the "Mine!" photo notes. there isn't even a girl in this one and people still figure out how to put at least one in.

and by "portal" I meant the original.

I don't think you remember how much of portal had "un-portalable" surfaces towards the second half of the game. Plus, with the white gel, you can put portals near anywhere and have to figure that out.

[url=#user_comment_61713]@Alex[/url]: Because only by buying [posthumously removed] and turning them into [also posthumously removed] were they able to imply that that was capable.

Now that I think about it. If doing what was done at the end was possible, why would Aperture Science have to buy (spoiler)

[url=#user_comment_61704]@Yoyo007[/url] Well, it would only make sense, considering something Cave Johnson said. Considering something else Cave Johnson said about the same thing, I wonder hoow long Chell will still live...

i have to say/agree, i did in final hour(chapter?) or two notice the following: ...i haven't used the namesake of this game for a good FIVE MINUTES what happened =(

A Fantastically Brilliant game however, depite my sadness at the decreased amount of portal oppurtunities (YAY WHITE GOO^^)

OMG, Valve was reading in my mind when they made the ending.
I always wondered if it was possible to place a portal on "this place"(no spoil), and thinking it would be a fun thing to do.

Well, it's easy in the Portal 2 panel. Just go up on the hill, put the portals below and on the other panel, then jump and the cube is yours.

SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!

White gel/goop/paint....I wonder how long before the areas where you get to spray it around are dubbed the 'Money Shot' levels? ;-)

Portal 2 was really fun, and I'M IN SPACE.

It did make me a little sad that they took out a couple "advanced" portal tricks, like shooting a portal beam and ducking through the open portal before the beam lands and creates a new one. Now if you try it you're immediately ejected from the portal you're standing in.

One could also argue that having more places to put the portals is easier since you could circumvent any intended puzzles with overlooked shortcuts.

Players being generally more clever at subverting a games intended difficulties than the people who made the game.

Dont forget, if the portal chamber is too confusing, they put markers on the surfaces where you're suposed to put portals.

I totally agree, Jo. The main reason P2 looks different is because what was once mostly white surfaces is now mostly black surfaces.

Ghast: The white surfaces are portal conducive. The black ones aren't. The comic is implying that Portal 2 is more linear and there's less creativity involved in choosing where to put portals.

This illustrates wonderfully my only issue with portal 2 so far - a good portion of the puzzles are "Find the portal conducive surface"

You nailed the EXACT problem that I have with POrtal 2. It's a wonderful game, but there was a comment Wheatley made about "yay, I'm off the rails! Now where do we go? Uh.. just stay on the rails I guess..." that would have been hilarious if it wasn't so sad.

So this comic is implying that the two games are exactly alike in graphic design / game mechanics? ...

:(

...Actually taking 'R A W' out makes it 'PotlTo'.

...yeah, so much for that gag.

...huh. Now that I look at it taking 'raw' out doesn't spell 'Potato' after all. Gotta take the L out too. Ah, well.

I'm su prised people en't still spouting th t 'fou hou g me' c p. Guess the 'channe s ll went home.

Th t side, ight no I'm ishing I sn't the only one out of my g oup of f iends th t h d the dispos ble income h ndy to g b Po ta T o.

Where's mah tentacle rape, Jo?

@Liro Raeriyo,
I just finished Portal 2 and it was spudtacular! *don't me hurt, it was for science*
I looking forward to some enterprising person stuffing HL2 levels into the engine if possible. Better yet portal guns in a death match mode :D

so are we gonna get some sort of POTATO jokes coming around now? i mean VALVe is basicly a trend setter in the gaming world, or more really a meme mine

Portal 2 is meh just like Bioshock 2, Fear 2, Far Cry 2 etc

Gotta agree with CosmicKirby. You could almost bill Portal as a tutorial for Portal 2.

Man.. I want this game baddly, if only I could buy it :/

another valve game? hohoho

Definitely noticed this on Co-Op.

However the later level's challenge was more timing and what to do in what sequence rather than just placing portals everywhere.

Whereas Portal 1 is more about mastering the concept of portals, Portal 2 is more about mastering the mechanics of how to use them.

[url=#user_comment_61638]@Monocle_Lad[/url]: You mean the portal gun isn't a unicorn? Blasphemy...

Well considering what the white paint was made of I can see why they started cutting back on its use inside of aperature labs. I'm assuming the portal gun itself has some unicorn horn in it somewhere as well.

Despite your great complements on this fine game I feel that this comic is going to be very good trollbait....

The Enrichment Center apologizes for the lack of paneling that supports portals. We are currently undergoing maintenance to invent a portal gun that works on all surfaces.

Jo did forget to mention conversion gel. AKA, white goop, which makes any surface accept portals. But it's only really used a few times, near the end of the game. It does add an element of planning. I wish they had utilized it more.

For the first time in my life, I want to visit the opera now...

INB4 "mine" notes on the cube...

Huge amounts of non-portalable walls/floors in portal 2 DID make the actual portalable, and thereby necessary walls a bit obvious.

Great game though.
