Portal 2

Oh snap, I totally missed this announcement. That's one fewer box connected to the TV!

I just played shovel knight on my phone and I’m not feeling as kind as you with regard to touch controls but I’m amazed at the performance. They really have tweaked the hell out of their streaming performance.

Ok that’s entirely fair yeah. I agree with your more detailed take on it. The fact that I could make it through half a level in Shovel Knight is noteworthy even if it did make me want to throw my phone. 😂

I've seen people using some of those Doom strategies to get the achievements for beating parts of the game on the hardest difficulty. I love seeing how people exploit game engines like that.

It may be that there's a bug with reporting the time played on that. But that said, "keeps crashing" isn't necessarily a reason to give it a thumbs down anyway. I would first assume something was wrong with my setup rather than the game.

You see this with Diablo III all the time too. "I have all six classes farming Torment VI and now there's nothing to do, this game is terrible." Disregarding the hundreds of hours you had to play to get there.

Yeah the puzzles definitely require a little more thinking but you feel way less ridiculous talking through the solution with a friend than when you're talking to yourself in single player.

Awesome.

And you are right, to my knowledge the only games left to port are CS: Go and Portal 2.

Well, maybe Ricochet.

Valve's games don't age. That's one thing you have to give them. Half Life 1 still holds up to the gameplay test even if the graphics are a little dated. I still have a much fun with it now as I ever did. I'm thrilled with the Black Mesa remake, because the improved graphics may make it more approachable.

More on your topic though, Portal 2 could have been longer but it was so much fun. I played it once in about two days and immediately started another game.

After the first one I was a little worries the second wouldn't live up to the first, but it couldn't have been a better sequel.

Now I want to play it again. :)

Thats awesome. Where did you snag this?

Go to the store? :D

Still think "New shower curtain" takes the cake for awesome post titles.

Thanks for reminding me guys, I need to buy some of that.

/ZING!
