I would but I don't have any money in my PayPal right now. :(

That said, I beat the single-player campaign already... thoughts?

It's definitely lived up to all the hype surrounding it, and that's only through a third of the game (Co-op is supposed to be at least twice as long as SP). I only have two major problems.

1) The Gels. They're incredibly awesome, but in some cases (thankfully there are very few of these), you have to use some very specific maneuvers to get to the next area. The stuff is hard to work with sometimes.

2) The plot is amazing, but after just an hour in, pretty much everything is a spoiler, so it's even harder than Portal 1 to describe to someone without spoiling something.

Well, I was just joking. I didn't expect anybody to actually buy it for me. XD

Yeah, I was looking forward to the gels. It's cool how you can get it on objects and it'll change their physics. No comment on the plot.

That's awesome. What's your Steam ID? We should probably have a topic for that stuff, actually.

In unrelated news, the Co-op game is actually much shorter than the singleplayer. A bit disappointing, but it was a lot of fun.

Additionally, I've found myself wondering if the multiplayer system has any support for more than two players. Unlike Portal 1, where there was absolutely no support for portals in multiplayer, it exists here, which means it might be possible. Hmm...

Co-op? I'm doomed because I have no Steam friends. :oops: :lol:

I still need to redownload Steam, though...

I noticed that someone named Kit Kat friended me on Steam, but since I don't know who that is I didn't sub back.
That would be ~xpr'd~. :wink:

Yes, it would be. :3 I got my name from TicTac, one of my old friends (we're not friends anymore, something happened) who did youtube videos and whatnot.

Yeah, it's still on my list of things I need to work on. I've fallen back a bit due to my hard-drive problems, but I'm going to keep working on it for sure.

meh too.
To Shorty, who was immortalized in an adventure.
To Marinus, who was my community older brother.
To Janet, who I will remember every time I wear a toque.

May these lost Wonderlanders find true adventure beyond us.
