Anybody else get a chance to play it yet?
I found it quite interesting so far. It should keep me busy for awhile.

It's installing (downloading) right now.

I ended up pre-ordering it, because Best Buy suddenly was selling it for nearly 50% off. Got it for $35 + $10 gift certificate (net-$25). Which I couldn't really pass up. I went to pick it up today and it being backordered online (yes, my pre-order was BACKordered. Because that makes sense)

So, I haven't played it yet. I think I'm going to run through Portal 1 again first, though. I haven't played it since 2008, so I didn't see all the stuff they changed.
Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

WOW! 4 hours, patience grasshopper.
I don't know how you guys do that, even when I was really big into gaming I didn't do that.
I simply can't sit there and play that long anymore, never could. Probably due to my age, I didn't start seriously gaming til later in life. I'm alot closer to 60 than 50 and have slowed down abit.
Still love gaming though, I'll never grow old when it comes to computers and games.
I ain't sitting around waiting for my next Geritol dose or Bingo event f--k that! :D
Though I do like my AARP discounts on vacations. :happy:

Took me about 5.5 hours to beat - I spent a long time checking out all the environments and posters and such. Couple puzzles really stumped me. I'll wait until everyone's beat it before saying anything much, but I have one gripe that I can't figure out if it's actually a gripe or a clever intention of the dev team.

Still haven't tried to co-op either.

Like I said im not happy I beat it that fast. I did take the time to admire the huge underground regions.

Its pretty cool how the test chambers are moveable on tracks in the apature science complex

I tried co-op for like 30 min. Its vert clever, but you really need a friend to do it with. Lest you get the rage quitters.
