The entire series for the first time. They're pretty loving excellent games.

Just thought I'd share some positive news here for once. How are the rest of you doing?

Thanks for reminding me, I still need to finish Portal 2. I stopped a little before you start getting the weird physics goo.

Not that I finished it, or anything.

However, it could be considered a triumph.

Portal 1 is the Monty Python holy grail of games. Really loving good, but kind of hurt by the idiot fans shouting memes from them.

Aside from the "cake is a lie" meme, what others were there? I must've been oblivious to them when they were popular.

I think doing science came from there, but it's probably older than that.

There's a level where Glados acts like she's done testing and is going to let you out. When you wind up in the next test chamber, "Never Gonna Give You Up" plays over the loudspeakers.

Yeah, Portal is pretty good OP.
I've found myself enjoying shorter games more and more recently. Just condense all the neat poo poo down to a handful of hours and I'll remember it as much and as fondly as any game I put 10s of hours into.

Portal 2 was painful to go through, after each puzzle the game punished you with a terrible joke. Never replayed it.

Did buy that one in the steam sale, so that actually might be up next. Been out of video games for the past ten years, I have a lot of catching up to do.

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.

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,

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