@ Jim Rossignol : “Unusual words lead to hot chicks and fun times.” I think we’re using a different set of unusual words. And I want yours.

I’ll just join everybody and say that this game is very awesome. It is short but there are lots of things to discover like those rooms you see with the windows that don’t let you see things.

Note: If you listen to the commentary, it gives away something…

But seriously, am I a total ignoramus\-anus for not getting that code straight away, and instead spend an hour of my work time figuring and spelling it out?
Is there any cake at the end of this puzzle?

[...] Often times a game will get a little bit more attention than it deserves thanks to a particular gimmick, that with the passing of time will fade, the game losing its edge in our memory. But I believe Portal completely transcends this. Portal will be remembered for its song. It will be remembered for its cube with a heart on it. It will be remembered for its voice acting. It will be remembered for its exemplary script. It will be remembered for GLaDOS. It will be remembered for a brand new game dynamic. It will be remembered for exquisite level design. It will be remembered for a near-perfect difficulty curve. It will be remembered for a fabulous twist. It will be remembered for an elegant and minimalist design. It will be remembered. [...]

Well, I’m a whole 24 hours late to the party. I thought that was pretty good, but ultimately there are only about two techniques you have to employ to get past anything in the main game. Most of the cyclical momentum jumps ‘just worked’ – Super Monkey Ball it ain’t. Best first person puzzle game evar, though, I guess.

I imagine it’ll be nightmarish with a joypad, so that’s another point in it’s favour.

Penny Arcade thrives on the use of a varied vocabulary with the occasional obscure word thrown in for good measure.
