Title: A new little thing Called "Portal"
Post by: Master Goron on September 07, 2006, 07:00:22 PM
I also posted this over at HA, but this looks so awesome, I had to show it over here too. I think it's a shame for anyone who considers themselves a gamer to miss this.

It's a new game from Valve, and it's being released with Half-Life: Episode 2. I think this is amazing, and could revolutionize many games.

I think you'll agree when you see this:

If you're talking to me, I mean the rampant paradoces of that film, like how the guys saw himself running through the portal and into the next one like he was chasing himself around a corner.

Amazing stuff though!

The voice talking was annoying, though.

ALl those space-time paradoxes will drain all ingenuity from such a device. It makes my head hut now... owwwwwwwwww.

Besides, it seems a pretty cheap solution to get somewhere else... too cheap.

You didn't have to hear it to understand it.  It's probably better that you didn't hear it anyway, the voice was annoying.
