For the people that are still alive…

Just as an aside, I picked up The Orange Box recently. I really don’t know how I managed to not play it until then. Half Life 2 is an enjoyable game, of course, and Team Fortress 2 is a nice change for Xbox 360 multiplayer action. But the gem in this little ensemble is definitely Portal.
If you haven’t grabbed a copy and tried out Portal yet… uhm, get off your ass. Or don’t, and order it online. I don’t really care. Just play it. Not only will you have lots of puzzling fun with one of the most eccentric games out there, you’ll understand all of the creepy Internet talk about cake.

“While it has been a faithful companion, your companion cube cannot accompany you through the rest of the test. If it could talk - and the Enrichment Center takes this opportunity to remind you that it cannot - it would tell you to go on without it because it would rather die in a fire than become a burden to you.”
Is Portal the most quotable game since Monkey Island? I think so.
Fabulous game, welcome to the light side
