Eh, Antichamber had a fantastic start but it kinda felt like they ran out of steam towards the end and just leaned on the cube gun puzzles too hard rather than the spacetime fuckery,

I agree with you but I have similar feelings toward the Portal games as far as meandering in the later parts, and I think in the end Antichamber just had a lot more to it.

He has only forbidden to you dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allah . But whoever is forced by necessity, neither desiring it nor transgressing its limit, there is no sin upon him. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful

It's also worth mentioning the Stanley Parable demo is completely separate from the actual game and worth a short look at in addition to playing the game.

If you're gonna do the Stanley Parable, download & play the demo first: it's actually the prologue and gets you in the mood.

Good to know, thanks for the heads up.

Looks like Black Forest gâteau which I believe is acceptable as a Christmas cake. Chocolate Roulade is also acceptable for the season.

Portal 2 is good. After you're done check out some of the community maps, they can be pretty awesome. Some are actually hard.

The obsession with the companion cube makes no sense and is dumb as hell. You only see the thing in 2 levels and use it for like 4 minutes of gameplay.

Why the loving obsession?

I understand the cake is a lie because the whole game builds up to it slowly... But the companion cube is barley in the game.

gently caress gamers and their memes.

The first one was really good, never really got around to playing the others. I watched my roommates do the co-op campaign or whatever for the second one. Seems like the magic was lost.

It's like the only other thing you really interact with in the short 1-2 hr game that might elicit an emotional response (even if it is just for a moment when you hesitate to burn it) :shrug:

I agree that the second one wasn't as subtle, but I really enjoyed the fast paced humor that it had, had me cracking up a few times. All in all, the writing for it was great.

dunno i never played it, been hanging around in too many bethesda games threads.
in any case I think it's a source game so it probably wouldn't be too hard to gently caress around in.
