Reactions: Portal 2 discount and much, much more

This NFL draft is too damn exciting for me to think of witty Portal 2 lines.

Boy, am I glad I haven’t bought Portal 2 yet. $35 at Kmart (360 and PS3 versions) beginning May 1st. GameStop will reportedly be offering it for $40 on the consoles and $30 for the PC beginning April 30th. Did somebody portal themselves into Kmart and GameStop’s headquarters and forge some papers?

Random: Portal Kombat

Yeah, that’s a pretty self-explanatory headline. I will say that there’s a major missed opportunity here for an Episode 3 joke. Maybe it’s never going to be released because Chell got creeped out by how silent Gorden is and performed an Awkward Silentality on him, which as we all know, would send Mr. Freeman through a portal and to whatever dimension his voice resides in. Or worse yet, she could have executed a G-Manality. You don’t want to know where his portals lead to.

Random: Alternate Portal 2 box art

InsaneBear’s policy on announcements of announcements, Alternate Reality Games, and any other such nonsense is one of staunch disapproval, but I suppose we can make an exception for Valve’s latest Portal 2 ARG. Why you ask? Well, dear reader, just take a look at all the wonderful alternate box art that’s come of it.

Feature: Gaming in 2011

It might not be the sexiest (or most original) feature you’ve read lately, but I think 2011′s line-up of games is so damn nice that it’s worth looking at twice. Also this gives me an opportunity to share some of the ways that 2011 will be affecting me personally as a gamer. Namely, I’ve decided that after spending nearly $600 on video games last year only to realize that most of them weren’t even that good, it’s time to try out GameFly. I figure the $15 a month will let me play more games at a lower cost. If I come across a game that I’m particularly infatuated with, I can pony up for it then. Heck, I could buy six full-priced games in addition to the GameFly subscription and still come out ahead of last year’s expenses. In fact, that’s sort of what this list is all about; trying decipher which six games look good enough to buy as of right now.

Reactions: Portal 2 gets user-created content for all platforms

According to Valve’s Chet Faliszek, “The mod tools have to stay on the PC side just because there’s a bunch of dependencies that require the Windows platform, but the content that comes out is agnostic, and so we will be seeing that on all the platforms. Depending on the platform you’re on I should say, will depend on how we’re delivering it.”

Gamescom 2010: Catch a glimpse of Portal 2 co-op

Certainly not much to go on, but it gives us an idea of what to expect. Frankly, I think this has the potential to be supremely awesome. I still remember trying to solve puzzles together as Sir Ryan and myself played the first Portal side by side and that was a lot of fun. I can only imagine it’s even better when both people can play and they have their own parts of the puzzle to solve.
