Thread: Cave Johnson Here

Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: Why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: Why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired.

Did you play the first one, Xei?

Yeah, and it was pretty awesome. I love anything Valve does. Portal 2 looks 10 times better than the first; the awesome gels and bouncing platforms and all that shiz, and a full-length co-op game, and Stephen fucking Merchant, wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

i knew they're would be something we saw eye to eye on

later

yes.

Looks more like a Pixar movie to me.
Doesn't seem to have the same beauty of the first one.
Regardless, I'm sure gameplay will more than make up for it!
Looks cool!

Game will be sick. Cave Johnson is awesome. Wheatley is awesome. GLaDOS is awesome. The bots are awesome. Chell is awesome.

Can't wait for the 19th. Already preordered it.

By the way, a massive ARG started on 1 April. It seems to be related to Portal 2, potatoes, and possibly Episode Three.

I've actually been helping out with this. There's a wiki for it and an IRC channel if you want to help, too.

Yes, I've been following and helping since a few days ago. It's awesome

Too cool.

If the ARG is anything to go by there's half a chance we could be playing this in a couple of days.

I believe it was already stated that the release date was the 18th. You do know you can pre-load the game now right?

Official release on Steam is the 19th, but in the ARG there was a hidden message saying something like "19/04/2011 = 15/04/2011". Could be for a demo, an early release; nobody really knows.

I can't preload yet because I need to build my computer first.

Need a new hard drive and processor.

Waaaaaah only 100 minutes before the mysterious timer hits 0.

Could be playing Portal 2 so soon, I I I so excited.

P.S. keep this thread spoiler free pluzh.

It's time to play some games.

Open your games.

Do it.

And we get early release.

You have to be playing one game at a time, and actually playing it. So don't just load up a game and idle.
Here's a guide on finding potatoes which do help significantly: https://docs.google.com/document/pub...DgalKUfE&pli=1

I believe as I write this, everyone is playing 1..2..3..KICK IT! to get it raised to the top. The Wonderful End of the World is already 100% complete.

I don't think you need to play, idling is fine. You just need to restart the game every now and then, to add hours played to the counter thingy. That's at least how most people believe it works. Also, potatoes work as a multiplier. If you have extra potatoes, you help more.
