Today’s game is Portal 2 again. Made it all the way to old aperture and stopped today. Honestly got me thinking about Wheatley. I think yesterday I said he’s on a spectrum of loveable villains. Just a different Axis than Glados. Or at least I find him enjoyable.

Anyways. I was just thinking about him again. I almost wonder if we’ll ever see him again (outside of LEGO Dimensions of course). I do think Portal doesn’t really need another entry but it would be interesting to think about.

While doing the test chamber with the Lazers I also went out of my way to do it in the most impractical way possible. Anything but the right way. At least I don’t think this is the right way.

Anyways. I made it all the way to old aperture today. This game goes fast. I kind of like it though. It’s nice to have games I can tear through in like 4 days rather than a few weeks. I miss having games like that.

Anyways. I think I’ll go through the Multiplayer with my friend after the story. And by that I mean we’ll terrorize each other in whatever way we can for a few hours while stumbling our way through a level. My favorite way to play it.

    Oh, hi. So, how are you holding up? Because I’m a potato.

    Truly, the best voice line in video game history.

    I was always slightly disappointed by the lack of difficulty in Portal 2’s puzzles. Half the game is just looking for distance patches of white paint to jump to.

    I do enjoy The Part Where He Kills You however. Creative use of an achievement popup.

      Definitely some simpler puzzles. I always end up seeing one of my friends play it and going “oh. That’s why it’s so simple”. Not to make fun of them, but puzzles like that definitely aren’t their strong suit

        Yeah, I think Talos Principle 2 has it right. Lots of puzzles, you only need a certain amount to proceed, and much harder optional puzzles dotted about.

    Portal 1 was an almost perfect game and Portal 2 the perfect sequel and advancement regarding story and game play! I would love to get a Portal 3 but it’s unlikely to continue this way so better stop when it was perfect than making just another cash cow out of it.

      They’d have a hell of a job in front of them if they were to ever try to make a Portal 3. I’d say it’s damn near impossible to beat Portal 2 for me personally

    I love the architectural style and environmental storytelling of Old Aperture.
