Okay, every good thing you've heard about Portal?

IT IS ALL TRUE! HOLY SHIT I NEED THIS GAME! HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT!

There are portals! And momentum! And the greatest physics engine I have ever seen! And cake! And accurate infinite mirrors* effects! And HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT!

Man, I just do not *get* enthused about video games (except for RockBand) But this is SO PRETTY (it really is just simply gorgeous) and it's clever and neat and a huge elaborate visual/spatial logic puzzle and CAKE and Jonathan Coulton did the music and just...yeah!

Can I have it? Please? Pleeeease?

(Seriously, I was this close to calling Nik and being all "Nik? I am buying you this. You are not allowed to play it except when I'm watching, until I've watched you beat it. Then you can play it as much as you want." I still might. It'll be his birthday present or something.)

Yep. It is glorious, and I haven't even played it yet, I've just watched Dave. *drools and lusts*

MOOP!

Yeah, I need to get that game as well.I've only played the flash version, which is pretty neat, but there's no plot or underlying story.

It is made of pretty and win and cake!

[kdsorceress.livejournal.com]

Yes! But the cake may be a lie. :(

...but the cake is a lie.

[kdsorceress.livejournal.com]

I refuse to believe that. I will play the game through, and get cake.

If you don't have room for beads, how can you have room for a video game (and the Playstation to run it)?

[jannyblue.livejournal.com]

Portal is also a computer game you can download.

No console system required.

...

And with that dangerous tidbit, Sorcy is going to go off and not be seen for the next eight months...

:P

Question? Do you know how much space I am referring to when I say my beads? I could fit a PS3 and a copy of The Orange Box into the briefcase that holds *most* of my beads with room to spare.

(And the clear goal here is to just spend all my time at someone elses house to play it)

You've, ah, you've seen this (http://portal.wecreatestuff.com/), right?

[kdsorceress.livejournal.com]

Thats, ah, dangerous.

That's our Sor! Always blooming late. :p

Anyway, you can get this online with Steam for 20 bucks, although it may not work for a Mac because Macs suck.

Be advised that Portal is like whoah short, so if you don't like the idea of paying 20 bucks for like 5 hours of game (yeah), go borrow it from somebody else. It shouldn't be hard. You're in college, I'll bet at least 9 of the 12 people living closest to you have it, or know someone else who does. And luckily for you, everybody not only loves Portal, but wants other people to share that love.

I'll put go ahead and put "weighted companion cube" on your list of "Things I want for [gift-giving occasion]".

[kdsorceress.livejournal.com]

I don't care that it's woahshort! Plus, I'm bad at video games, so it'll take me longer.

See my response to skullx for my retort to your late bloomer comment. :P

YAY! Weighted companion cube, glee! Although I really just want cake.

~Sor

Oh I just can't resist...

Oh ok...

I'll say it...

Welcome to 3+ months ago. ;)

I AM EVIL! :D

*grins*

You're evil? No, not really. I know damn well that I'm late with my squeeage. I blame every single person I know for not taking me and saying "You know this thing? Go check it out." until I did.

It's okay.. as long as i am around, you'll never be the last one to discover things...

*goes off in search for this Portal*

Probably one the best games I have played in a long while, and the cussing is terrific (mine) but I lurved the puzzles.
