If it's not too far out of my way I'll go shoot the wife so she can have a quick, painless death.

I don't mind the absence of the crushers, but I wish there were more levels for me to play around with gels in. Oh well, I guess that's what modders are for.

What's the British fascination with that town?

I just realized

I looked it up, "prize" is an accepted "alternate spelling". I looked it up because I too thought it was "prise" for prying. Also, GOH, it's true in America too? I have never heard/seen anyone except Commonwealth people use prise/prize.

US "pry" = UK "prize" As in "he pried it open"/"he prized it open".

You say "also." Could you elaborate on the other meaning(s)?

And just finished Portal 2 coop with Dave. Took us about 4.5 hours.

If I leave out broken games then the hardest game I've ever had a proper go at is probably Super Mario Bros 3. I'm not one of those gamers who thinks that a game has to be smash-your-head-against-the-wall-hard in order to be fun though. *Edit* - Yeah, I've always thought of Legendary as hard enough to be challenging but not hard enough to get frustrating, which I think is the perfect place to be. There are a few parts in each game that get pretty damn hard, but on the whole Legendary is quite fun.

Well yeah. Isn't it a legal requirement that he be in every game ever? I know Australia will refuse a game classification if he isn't credited.

Yeah, he was a perfect JJJ.

I've never noticed squinting. I explain it by concluding that you must have designed Shepards that squint.

Yeah, I think I like the ending song from this one even better than Still Alive, though it will never be able to overcome the sheer nostalgia from Still Alive since that song came as a complete surprise.

Ah yeah, that part gave us some trouble too.

I figured it was something like this, but I hoped there was a secret trove of puzzles I was missing so I could have more Portal to play. *Edit* - And yeah, when the GT review shows actual bits of the game it almost always shows the player(s) doing it wrong, so it doesn't really give away solutions, which I thought was a nice thing to do.

Oh yeah, beat Portal 2 SP in one sitting (not that that's a huge accomplishment) on Tuesday. Did most of the coop campaign yesterday and plan to finish it up today.

I honestly don't understand all the GTA IV hate, I fucking love it. Course I also think Vice City > GTA III > San Andreas, so maybe I just get something different out of GTA than most people. Also, do we have a Day 37?

Sony's doing well with the marketing for this game, I keep forgetting it's not a PS3 exclusive.

Okay, so I watched the Gametrailers review, and there were a couple of puzzles shown in it that I remember seeing from pre-release videos but I don't remember from the actual game. Were these sections cut or am I missing something? In the linked video, the relevant puzzles show up at the following times: 1:13 5:23 5:50 (I'm less sure about this one) 6:04 (I think this is the same one as 5:23) 6:13 (Might also be the same as 5:23/6:04) 7:58 (I think this is the same as 1:13) 8:14 @Thursday: Yeah, DaveStrife and I played coop last night, and you would never have known we weren't on a LAN.

Which one is that? I don't remember any of them taking too long.

I agree wholeheartedly, Brain.

That does sound awesome.

Alright, home from class. Who wants to co-op it up?

lolwut? I fucking love Halo, but they're only like 12 hours or less on a first run through. Also, and this is a big thing for me: at least on the PC Portal allows mods, which allow user-created test chambers. There's theoretically infinite play-time once you take that into account.

A lot of the comments on the article are ragging on the author for how retarded it is. *Edit* - But then I just realized that those people seem to have been linked there from the Steam forums, and are mostly men. So there's that.
