Well, they said on steam during the update message that it would unlock at midnight PST on October 10th.

I'm looking at the ticking countdown right now. WHEE!
I'm not sure whether I'm going to play this or Ep 2 first TBH, since I've been looking forward to both of them for a long time. I might have to alternate levels or something.

Oh God. They both have achievements. One of them involves carrying a gnome around. I'm doomed. :-(

So fucking awesome.  The re-centering camera pissed me off so much on the 18th test, though. Every time I go through a portal and WHOOSH I'm looking in the worst possible direction. |

Portal wasn't meant to be much more than that. It's well worth it and the replay is there. I'm still trying to figure out if I could of got the 30,000 feet achievement by cycling through the same hole. BEST. CREDITS. EVER. |

Which reminds me of Bioshock's end credits. Wait. Where are the end credits? |

Decrypting the files ATM, I decided to sleep and go to work before I play. I do not know anything about this game.

Fucking fantastic.
FUCKING FANTASTIC. I was laughing to myself the entire time I was playing it, a game has not done that in A VERY LONG TIME.
Inventive, charming, clean.
A++.
Yes, best credits ever.

LOL. Mike Patton as the anger sphere. Thought that last bit's voice sounded familiar.
Agree with everyone else, Best Credits Ever. They should make some kind of special award to honor them.

Best ending ever!! I've never felt so satisfied after completing a game.

It was a good ~2 hours, a bit repetetive, felt like they somewhat wasted the potential a bit. Still good stuff.
Now, throw that whole portal shit into a real FPS togheter with the gravity gun and it could be intresting!

4 hours and a half for good ole poorly coordinated me.
Still alive... after all that pressure, I must join the flock: best end credits ever and probably one of the most satisfying ending I can remember.

I only got to test 15 last night, but enjoyed it quite a bit. Must play more later.

I thought you were going to say to throw it into TF2. Honestly, I just want them to replace the teleporter graphic with an industrialized portal graphic and make it two way. You could actually escape from a fucking pyro that way - actually hell, let them shoot through the portal. Offensive teleporters for the win. |

Well, now that its in the engine, I imagine it wont be long before you see moders start making use of it. I'm sure somebody could easily make a shooter based around it, or mod it into existing games. I'm sure you'll also start seeing 1'000's of custom made portal levels hitting the internet, which I imagine should give the game some more longevity.

Portal + TF2 really fucking badly makes me want to learn how to use HAMMER. Maybe me and Yegolev are stupid enough to try since Ookii is a big pussy.

I was just told that there's supposed to be a computer voice/narrator. I haven't heard it at all. Anyone else have this issue? Other sounds are fine.
Edit: Nevermind, I switched it from english->german->english and it worked. Time to replay from start and get the "plot"
Edit2: So far, my favorite part is "In rare cases, the portal may emancipate teeth fillings and enamel"

It's a puzzle game, I figured it was self explanatory. There was a bit of style just waking up not knowing where you were, with just music playing on the radio, going from room to numbered room.. like cube, the movie, only with less death.

I can, because I wandered around looking for a little girl for about 30 minutes thinking it was going to turn into motherfucking silent hill up in that shit. At that moment, I thought it was 50 times cooler than it is. Now I know where a modder should go with it though. |

It was definitely quick and a bit easy, but the atmosphere throughout was just awesome. I suspect the bonus maps are where the brain breakers are. The ending was in fact made of awesome. I was pretty happy with the FMV, but then, yeah. Brilliant.

I look forward to trying the challenge and advanced maps. I do think they kind of copped out on the puzzles towards the end, relying more on a mix of platforming and portaling skills rather than really forcing you to do hellish real-time-portaling jumps.
I expect the custom map makers will satisfy my desire for fucked up, hair-pulling Portal maps before long.
And yes, both the credits and the turrets are extraordinarily awesome.
Edit: Credit song MP3 plz.
