Orange Box. It Half Life & Portal!

[ShinOBIWAN]

Here's an age test:

The cake is a lie.

Know that if you cannot answer this you are almost certainly mature. If you can then the Clearasil is on the 5th aisle, halfway down on the bottom shelf.

 

[penance]

eh?

 

[ShinOBIWAN]

eh?

Your good.

 

[penance]

Why thankyou.
Still none the wiser tho...

'The cake is a lie' is a song from the computer game 'Portal'

Its quite possible this isn't man made and more likely some cast off from the gods.

I think this should be the signature tune for Stereo Mic.

Oh right.

Are there space ships in it or can you shoot Germans?

Neither. Its puzzle based revolving around a device that can open up portals used to traverse the map. No violence involved.

Not a very good game then

Few! Its a good thing my copy of Orange Box came with a badly printed serial code and I couldn't install it yesterday or I might have been classed immature!

I thought online verification via Steam was required and no serial necessary?

I preloaded via electronic distribution rather than the retail copy so I'm not sure.

Episode 2 rocked BTW but I thought Portal was even better.

Just completed it - it's bloody marvellous

I just pre-ordered it on Amazon, I forgot you can buy things directly from Steam. But at least I have a proper disc to keep. But yeah, the booklet with the serial code on it (gets verified by steam) was misaligned and half the serial code was off the edge. I also got the first half of someone else's though, mwaahahah! :JPS:

Way off topic but it's probably best in this case.

How long did that take you?

Not for me it wasn't

I can see where Meridian got the idea for their new clock radio.

'Bout 3 and a bit hours.... did it all in one hit... how 'bout you?

 

[Tenson]

2 half evenings for me. I like it when the games are not really long, it gives them more pace.

Have you tried Lost Coast? WOW! The graphics are insane, but also its a really good level.

I haven't got it (yet) I completed the following quiz:

Do I have a social Life?

Do you I want to do something about this for the next few weeks?

I decided that the final answer was 'no' and bravely withdrew from purchase. The same goes for Football Manager 08 which was calling out to me this weekend. 3.5 hours is pretty good. I am inept and It would surely take me longer.

 

[bottleneck]

For £40, 3.5 hours sounds a lot of money! - but then it would probably take me weeks.

 

[i_should_coco]

£40 for portal? On Steam it was £30ish for HL2 Ep. 2, Portal + Team Fortess 2....

It is a very fun 3.5 hrs, though....
