**Official Portal 2 thread**

My sister is looking to get me something for my birthday next week, and i haven't got Portal 2 yet, so i thought i would get her to get it for me. If she does though, it would be from Amazon as she lives overseas, and there is no point me trying to explain steam to her;).
With the retail copy, can you activate it through Steam and have it like a normal steam game, no disc, steam chat etc? or is it just like a non-steam game where you can do limited things?
I thought that as it is a Valve game, it might be ok?

Cheers
 
So apparently Portal 2 will turn you in to a homosexual

LOL no really. At first i thought it MUST be a joke... but the site it's on seems to be a serious site.

Just look at the site. Seriously.

It's a pee-take site created by atheists to take the micky out of what you might call "hard line" Christians.

It's not what anybody actually believes. Well, anyone outside the Westboro Baptist Church, anyway.
 
So i've just made it back into the 'new' labs again, have i really got another 19 levels to complete now? If so then GREAT!! Loving it so far. Ain't spent this long in one sitting since HL2.

I ain't had any help yet and the longest i got stuck was about 45 mins (the test where you have to put the plastic bottle in front of the lazer) that was pretty early on in the game though. On average i'm doing a test in about 7-8 mins each.

It was a nice surprise for me to enter the 'old' test chambers as i thought it was the end or nearing the end of the game at around the turret production line stage. I was a little disappointed at that stage as i thought the tests were even easier than those of Portal1. The test chambers in the old section soon changed that opinion though and i've still got the gel to use in the new sections now, so i can see it getting a little more difficult.

GOTY so far for me

Haha, no way. After looking at this video

it seems that i didn't need to use a plastic bottle. I found a secret room in that level and used a plastic water bottle to block the laser instead of the cube.
