Portal!

[Venkman]

Need help:

Played Portal to Lvl 15 a few weeks ago on a different computer, but apparently progress isn't stored on Steam. So I'd like to play at home but don't want to do the first 15 levels again (partially because time-played is stored on Steam). Anyone have any codez to unlock levels? Google was no help (though I did find how to unlock the levels on the Xbox Portal).

To be fair, the first 15 levels take less than 30 minutes total if you remember them... at all. Even the slightest bit. Otherwise, I'm not sure you can transfer savegames as they are tied to your profile.

30 minutes retreading the same shit (2/3 of which doesn't even have the fully-powered gun) or 30 minutes of TF2 or Crysis. I vote the latter.

Meh, you have to play through the whole thing at least twice anyways, might as well just do the it now.

Use the dev console and type "map mapname"?  Or use noclip to speed through each level?  Or just take 18 minutes to beat the game fair and square again.

Wowee. That was awesome. Here's Johnathon Coulton singing still alive to celebrate. Obviously, the operatic voice actress did it better, but the guy sure can write. I'm amazed at how fast he went from obscurity to geek stardom.

For those folks who are both iPhone owners and Portal fans, I give unto thee the happy version of Still Alive that plays on the radio at the beginning of the game as a ringtone.

If you have iTunes 7.5 and firmware 1.1.2 just drop the file onto your library and it will get added to your ringtones section. The Lechuck theme song also makes a pretty awesome ringtone.

You just made me go through the annoying process of updating and jailbreaking again. And, when I finish, it will all be worth it.

Okay, so I just got Orange Box on sale today. Way behind the times, but have been playing Portal for the past couple hours. I'm having a bitch of a time on level 19, but then again, I suck at the FPS, so... I'll get through it. Decided to take a breather and post that this is a blast of a game. Loading up TF2 next, but they did a fine job on Portal. Can't wait to try out the bonus maps and frustrate myself even more.

The bonus maps are a magnitude of difficulty harder. Still great fun though.

I'm right there with you. I got it for Christmas and finished Portal in 1 1/2 sittings. It was just that goddamn good. I haven't tried the bonus maps, though. Also, TF2 is probably requires the most "skill" of any FPS I've ever seen. And boy do I suck.

This post doesn't make sense now.

Maybe you all can help me out, because I bought the OJ box for portal in part to the paens sung to its name here. But after getting through it, I have to think its a tad bit overated.

Its a good game. Good puzzles. Glados is a solid schizo AI in the tradition of HAL9000, and its cute to hear her talk as I am the rat in her maze. But as I read the GOTY threads and posts, I have to scratch my head at this one. The writing was good, but not that good. The gameplay was good, but not that good. To hear this game being offered as a example of good dialogue/story, seems to to a diservice to games that actually concentrate on dialogue and story.

Having offered that dissent though, I think its great. It reminds me of those IQ tests they would give us in elementary school. One day, they are going to plop rugrats in front of a game like portal and start scribbling notes.

Little secret. It has already started, and you were one of the test subjects. Didn't you see the cameras?

Oh shit...'07?  It's been that long?  Damn, son...

Anywho, this game is apparently now free on Steam.  Of course, I'm sure everyone here's played it already, right?  Right? ಠ_ಠ

[Chimpy]

Only free until the 20th.

Also, way to mega-necro.
