Coincidentally, over the past week or so, I've been getting back into this game. Specifically, I've been looking at user-created maps for it, since I found out that one of the Fallout 3 designers made a (nearly impossible) map for it. Then this happened.

Very creative of them!

I also like that they have a developer named "Cave".

Just in case you've never read it, Here is a bunch of information from the Aperture Science website they put up when the first game came out. Cave was bat-shit crazy.

Why? I'm sure it will use the Source engine, just like the first one, although probably with some of the new features that were added in the Left 4 Dead games. It's not going to be terribly system-intensive.

Coming this holiday. Portal 2 is the sequel to 2007's Game of the Year and draws from the award-winning formula of innovative game play, story, and music that earned the original over 70 industry accolades. Features single and multiplayer co-op modes. The single-player portion of Portal 2 introduces a cast of dynamic new characters, a host of fresh puzzle elements, and a much larger set of devious test chambers. Players will explore never-before-seen areas of the Aperture Science Labs and be reunited with GLaDOS, the occasionally murderous computer companion who guided them through the original game. The game’s two-player cooperative mode features its own entirely separate campaign with a unique story, test chambers, and two new player characters. This new mode forces players to reconsider everything they thought they knew about portals. Success will require them to not just act cooperatively, but to think cooperatively.

Because Sledge does all his computing via a home-rigged Linux install on the ROM chip from an old microwave connected to the display of a vintage Timex digital watch. The kind with the red LED display.

Well at least he didn't trade his watch for a half pint chocolate milk carton with a couple of tadpoles in it.....

Meit's right. It's a RISC based Timex watch.

Will there be cake?
