The Orange Box

[cookiva]

I just got it. Almost beat Portal. Its a great game!

 

[Jerry!]

I think (hope) that Valve will release further puzzles via Live for Portal.

 

[cookiva]

I hope so.

Damn, that last one was a *****. Great game though. That along with system linking TF2 is worth the game. Honestly, its amazing.

 

[블라스]

Gamespot score: 9.5

 

[Fran]

Bought it tonight, gonna play it tomorrow

 

[블라스]

Oh Lucas, I hate you so much right now

 

[Fran]

hate = love

 

[블라스]

Except when you have The Orange Box and I don't















































(But yeah, hate = love :heart: )

Portal's actually kinda creepy

 

[SouLeSS]

I was never a big fan of HalfLife 2, or any of the games that spawned from the Half Life franchise, so eh. I might pick it up when it hits 30$, but who knows.

Have you beaten it? First off, announcer chick, scares the crap out of me.

 

[Fran]

Announcer chick? Is that the one in the commercial? If so, yeah, she's creepy.

Quote from gabe newell, one of the co-creators of half-life:

Investing in the Cell, investing in the SPE gives you no long-term benefits. There's nothing there that you're going to apply to anything else. You're not going to gain anything except a hatred of the architecture they've created...I don't think they're going to make money off their box. I don't think it's a good solution.

Portal is the only game I care about.

Announcer chick? Is that the one in the commercial? If so, yeah, she's creepy.

If you play the game, she actually becomes really scary by the end.

 

[Capt Throbberson]

Just beat Episode 2, wow.

 

[Jerry!]

I heard that Episode 2 is even better than HL2. Is it?

 

[クジラ]

You know this is the only fun I like to join...

God bless Gammy

 

[クジラ]

I am picking this game up on Monday probably or sooner. Now it is Half Life 2...Episode 1 and 2 ...or Half Life 2 and Half Life Episode 2

 

[Jerry!]

5 games total. Its Half Life 2, HL2: Episode 1, HL2: Episode 2, Team Fortress 2 and Portal.

 

[クジラ]

What's the difference with HL2..and the episodic content?

 

[Jerry!]

Think of them like expansion packs. They both continue the story where it leaves off from the previous game. Like mini-sequels.

 

[クジラ]

Awesome,sounds very good.I played HL2 on my computer...but this seems like an amazing deal I cannot pass up.

 

[Jerry!]

Yeah so did I, I thought about getting EP1 but my computer really isn't that good to where it would be able to run it like it should. I'd be able to play it, but not at the quality I wanted. So I figured I'd just wait for this. Just took longer than I thought. So really almost everything in the Orange Box is new for me.

 

[クジラ]

That's awesome.

What's Portal all about?
