Hilarious, Cave Johnson, Lemons Quote, Video



Portal 2 is a hilarious game that was released by Valve in April; now, there is an awesome meme going around from the game - it's a line from the new character introduced in the game, the owner of Aperture Science, Cave Johnson...

Portal 2, DLC will be free



Portal 2 came out not too long ago, but Valve has already announced that they're releasing DLC (downloadable content) for the game. Now, it has been revealed that the DLC will be free - and they didn't specify a console, so I'm guessing that means it's free on PC, PS3 and 360.

I'm surprised, because Valve usually only gives it away for free on PC and has to charge on the 360 to cover costs of releasing on the platform; however, this time they have released a game on all three platforms, two of which have Steam - allowing for instant updates through their own systems and cross-platform play between PS3 and PC.

Portal 2, Comic, Lab Rat



Portal 2 now has a comic called Lab Rat. It features Chell, Companion Cube and some other guy that told Chell something important in Portal: the Cake is a Lie! The comic is awesome and I really think that any fan of Portal (and any fan of comics in general!) should check it out!

Portal 2, hilarious walkthrough



iJustine is an internet celebrity with hundreds of thousands of people following her on YouTube; she also plays video games. She recently played Portal 2... or attempted to, anyway. Here is a hilarious video that she made, failing at making a walkthrough. She doesn't even know her character isn't a robot eye...

Portal, Excluding Steam sales - sells 4,000,000 copies



This is what the room below looks like after many years
Portal, the game that was originally released in the Orange Box in 2007, has sold over four million copies at retail alone; this means, not including the high amounts of sales on the digital distribution program, Steam. There are probably millions more copies that were sold on Steam that were sold at retail.

Portal 2 was just released yesterday, and there's no doubt that the sales numbers on it are as high, if not higher than Portal. Portal 2 is an awesome game; I couldn't stop playing it when I played it yesterday. I went ahead and reviewed the first of the two campaigns included with Portal 2 - you can read it HERE.

Beginning of Portal 2 - Yet many years before actual gameplay
I hope that Portal gets another installment in the series within the next few years; Portal 2 was worth every bit of hype surrounding its release, unlike many other games released in the past few years. Dragon Age II was far lower quality than the hype surrounding it led everyone to believe; DA2 wasn't the worst game ever, but it definitely will not be in a group of games that people will remember, forever.

Portal 2, early release is staged and all lies



Portal 2 is being released 'early' according to the viral marketing campaign, but are they really? GlaDos has finally started using the potatoes which are supposed to overclock the 'CPUS' which are being unlocked around the clock. However, some are wondering if it's all staged.



According to the people who are working around the clock to get the early release of Portal 2, the game can release NO EARLIER THAN TUESDAY AT MIDNIGHT in some places. What was Valve thinking? you might have asked; well, Valve may have been trying to be like GlaDos.











  • GlaDos promised Chell there would be a cake at the end of Portal, but there was no cake - the cake is a lie.
  • Valve promised fans there would be an early release at the end of the ARG, but there is no early release - the early release is a lie.

It is all a lie, according to those who believe the theory; I smell lawsuits and investigations coming!



Here is GlaDos' Log so far:

08:57 - Default boot scheduled to finish in 19:23:01
08:58 - Activating emergency distributed computing grid...
09:00 - GLaDOS@home starting...
09:01 - Recruiting cpus to force faster boot sequence...
19:55 - Calculations complete for The Wonderful End of the World. Recalculating a new launch projection...
11:55 - Calculations complete for 1... 2... 3... Kick It!. Recalculating a new launch projection...
21:00 - Calculations complete for AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! - A Reckless Disregard for Gravity. Recalculating a new launch projection...
04:00 - Calculations complete for RUSH. Recalculating a new launch projection...
10:15 - Calculations complete for Cogs. Recalculating a new launch projection...
15:35 - Calculations complete for Toki Tori. Recalculating a new launch projection...
20:20 - Calculations complete for BIT.TRIP BEAT. Recalculating a new launch projection...
10:50 - Engaging starch-based power cells
11:00 - Reboot safety test protocol initiated...
11:00 - Relaxation chamber locks released...
11:00 - Involuntary hazard mitigation associates have assumed testing positions...
11:00 - Pre-release lethality assessment initiated...

So, it looks to me that this is all fixed. They SOMEHOW unlocked at EXACTLY 11:00, which seems a little suspicious. It seems that Valve has fixed the whole thing to unlock only at a specific time! What was Valve thinking? Only time may tell.

Will we get an early release? Not according to GlaDos, so far!

Warning: This article contains SPOILERS.



Portal 2 is very likely going to release today, according to the viral marketing campaign going on right now that involves us buying and playing games in a package deal called the Potato Sack. These 13 games allow us to play their new Portal 2 based challenges to unlock Portal 2 early.



Anyway, here is a recap of the story thus far from Portal - so you can remember before your Portal 2 playthrough! *SPOILERS*

  • 1) Chell in a test chamber's holding cell
  • 2) Chell escapes the test chamber holding cell
  • 3) Chell goes through some tests, meeting the computer GlaDos in the process
  • 4) GlaDos messes with and taunts Chell as she goes along, with her sarcastic remarks and threats
  • 5) Chell meets Companion Cube, her only friend
  • 6) Chell is forced to kill her new friend, Companion Cube
  • 7) GlaDos tries to cook Chell in Android Hell to bake her into cake
  • 8) Chell escapes the clutches of GlaDos' Android Hell
  • 9) Chell runs around the employee areas of Aperture Science, finding that all of them are dead
  • 10) Chell randomly finds markings that tell her about how the 'cake is a lie,' left from another test subject
  • 11) The other test subject escaped before her
  • 12) Chell finally escapes the whole area, to find GlaDos awaiting her at the end
  • 13) Chell kills GlaDos
  • 14) GlaDos sings about how she's 'still alive'
  • 15) There is cake and the Companion Cube is still alive

So, are you ready for Portal 2, now? I know I am! The story may have not seemed very epic, but it really was! And I'm sure that Portal 2's story will be way more epic than ever!

Portal 2 is releasing a whole day or more early

Portal 2 is going to be released early, because of a viral marketing campaign that has united almost the whole internet. The way we can help it along is by buying Valve's Potato Sack on their online distribution program Steam. When you buy these games, there are challenges in each of the 13 games based on Portal 2. You play these and beat these, which unlocks Potatoes. The point of the potatoes is to power the character GlaDos (from Portal) according to the marketing campaign.

So, we're now done with 5 of the 12 games in the Potato Sack. The current focus of people is the game Toki Tori, which is 71.9% done. According to http://www.hasportal2launchedyet.com, there are about 48 minutes left from the time I typed this sentence. Go on over there and watch, or go and buy the Potato Sack and help out!

At this rate, we'll be getting an early release in no time!
