I Bet These Guys Freaking LOVE their jobs!

Found This, made me love Pixar more. Enjoy.

Now here's something I never even considered!

I just found a wonderful blog post arguing that Portal is an interactive lesbian metaphor. Interesting to say the least. Vagina!

Oh My God

Seriously... Oh My God

This is why I love it so much!

I really love Avatar: The Last Airbender. It is an absolutely gorgeous show. Last weeks episode is one of my favorites thus far, and if you want to know why I love the show so much, it is as good a place as any to answer. Enjoy "Sokka's Master", Episode 4 of season 3.

Alex, you're alowed to have an orgasm now...

HADOKEN!

This is what I'm talking about!

Portal.

Oh my sweet sweet juicy brain juices Portal.
I've been excited for this game for oh so long. When it was first teased, the concept was almost too much: A first person puzzle shooter which would bend physical space and allow players to use PORTALS to their advantage. What? How? When?
And then it hit at about 3am last Thursday (the 11th). There aren't a great many games that can jump in front of a Half-Life Sequel for me, but this game did it. I played it from its release at 3am until about 5:30 am. Now here's the thing, by 5:30 am, only 2.5 hours after starting, I had beaten the game. Beginning to end, final boss battle and all, the game was over.
The game has been greatly poo-pooed because of this. I admit, 2 hours to complete a game is a little slim, but for those of you who read my argument in an earlier post will know, I feel that a game is justified in its short length by the fact that each and every moment of gameplay adds to the overall story. AND THIS GAME DOES IT! From the moment you awaken in the cryo-chamber which imprisons you, and you hear the cold voice of GlaDOS, the game's omnipotent Artificial Intelligence, you are sucked into the world and live in it. As you unravel the coiled reality of Aperture Science and make your way through the sadistic puzzles which present themselves to you, there is an unnerving dreadful feeling that cannot be shaken. GlaDOS's dialogue, while hilarious, is always just a little off, and as you move forward with the puzzles, and find clues left for you by former test subjects, you can start to piece together who you are, why you are here, and what it all means.
To add to that, the gameplay itself is also simply brilliant. For those of you who haven't heard, you get to play with portals. You carry a weapon which (after it is fully upgraded which takes only a few minutes) can fire off two portal "doors". These doors can be placed on most any surface, and can then be passed through, one to the other. For example, if I were to fire a portal at the ceiling directly above me, then the second portal at the wall, I could look through the wall, and see myself from a birds eye view. I could also walk through the wall, and end up FALLING back to the position I started from. Confusing? That's the point. The puzzles in this game forces you to think in ways I guarantee you never have before. Not once in my life have I ever thought "Hmm? How am I going to cross that chasm? OH! I know! I'll shoot a portal at the top of the very high wall behind me, then I'll jump into the chasm, shooting another portal at the floor on the way down. This way, my falling momentum will carry me through the floor and out of the portal on that high wall, flinging me across the chasm, solving all of my problems."
Now I have also played through Half-Life 2: Episode 2, and it also was fantastic, for many of the same reasons, but that game is just a stellar sequel to a game I already love, portal had something to prove, and hell if it didn't. Anyone who is at all interested in gaming, or even one who feels that a game cannot tell a convincing story, purchase Valve's Orange Box (available at any games retailer or for download over Steam), you owe it to yourselves to play this game!
