Portal

Fixed the link. I think you're right, if memory serves it doesn't have proper momentum conservation (not in the alpha release anyway, but I'm sure in a video of the next, as yet unreleased version, they appeared to show a player reaching terminal velocity through momentum conservation).

A nice video of Exite mod

Alpha 2 development (momentum conservation ftw)

Still, worthy of a bash for those who haven't purchased the Orange box.

Spoiler

When the tests are completed you will be... missed

If I could love a computer game, this would be it.

THE CAKE IS A LIE!

Rep for the first person to find me a t-shirt with "The cake is a lie" on it, preferably with a picture of said cake.

 

[BiG D]

I was kinda hoping for a Companion Cube shirt.

 

[elDiablo]

Rep please, thatbloke

 

[thatbloke]

one that's english and isn't gonna cost me a packet in shipping would be preferred...

And o look, apparently I love you too much anyway.

 

[SgtFury]

Big D I think your influence is catching

 

[DocBot]

...okay, we know that everyone wants their own weighted companion cube. Until someone starts selling them, you can always make your own. If you're the handy type, that is. Best part? You can murder it by setting it on fire if you want!

Note that, if you do, I WILL FIND YOU AND YOU WILL MEET A SIMILAR FATE.

Just finished it, best 2 1/2 hours I've spent in a long time. Quite a few bits of genius writing in there as well, something woefully lacking in a lot of games these days. Now, it's on to the advanced maps.

In addition, the credits song is awesome, truly the icing on the cake.

By the way, anyone else seen the portal flash game? It's a decent tribute, and does in fact include momentum conservation.

YAY! Advanced maps are easy (though 18 is annoying), but the challenges are where it is at! Especially the Least Portals ones!

I do HA HA at your pun, sir! Also, the cake is a lie, apparently...

Indeed. I finished it last week, and it's fun in places, though annoying in others. Obviously not as good as the real portal And it has "easy" conservation of momentum as each portal is always at some factor of right angles to the other, making it nice and easy to compute! But that's just me being a geek, and a bit sad!

Just over two hours of Portal and for what.......probably the best end credits I've seen on a game.
