Really... this is one that does not disappoint. You should play it immediately.

If you want someone to play the coop with give me a holler. I think it's been long enough that I won't have it memorized. Or if I do still remember I can play dumb and let you figure it out if you prefer. Whatever. It's always fun to play it again with someone who's not a random pub moron.

I just started playing Portal 2, and so far, it's awesome.

The insults GLADIOS throws at me every level are hilarious.

Ah, in that case you and GORDON should do coop together once you're both done with the main game. It really is better if first played with someone else who doesn't already know all the solutions.

Does the coop maintain the same humor?

Yes, although it's less dense. But there are certainly some very nice touches here and there, and there's even an overall story going on if you pay attention.

Mostly it's just fun to figure out puzzles for four portals instead of just the mere two.

Just got the Vertically Unchallenged achievement before calling it a night.

I love Cave Johnson. Best character of the game, IMO.

One of the best characters in any video game.

Really? Don't spoil this for me, but I'm guessing I'll be meeting him or something because so far I'm just listening to some funny recordings. "Wait, legal just told me not to talk about the control group."

I did notice that his company was always runner up in the government contractor category. Another Black Mesa joke.

Yeah, I was about to announce that I am done discussing it until he is done.

Got home late from the bar a bit buzzed so I didn't want to play LoL, thus I jumped into Portal 2.

I am "back up top" with the walking boxes. I hesitate to say more because I think we should have spoiler warnings. However, I now know things about Gladios...

I'm Cave Johnson, and we're done here.

This game is BRILLIANT!!!!

I cannot wait for Portal 3. I will buy it on the day of release. This development team deserves it.
