    Having great fun with this game, going replay it again soon. Only thing that is annoying me is the achievements, those challenges are hard, and I can't find all 33 cameras :p

    I've had this game for a while, but only recently rendered it playable on my PC. I'm looking forward to seeing what all the hubbub is about.

    I missed one camera the first time around and this video helped me find it.:D
  • edited May 2010
    I played through the game 4 times trying to get all the cameras and each time I kept missing one camera. I'll have to watch that video! It's the only achievement left (on my Xbox version anyway) besides the Aperture Science achievements.

    Thanks a lot. I will look into that when I am done with the radios :)

    The free Portal offer is officially over. My congratulations to those who took advantage of the deal and my sympathies for those who didn't. Better luck next time.

    I gotta say, this was the best free thing that I've ever gotten.

    Sex is never free. It may not require monetary compensation, but you've gotta give something.

    And it wouldn't be a thread without you sexing it up, now, would it :p

    You have to pay for Garry's Mod, though.
    Not the older versions (Upto 5 I believe maybe 4) are still free. It wasn't untill 6 (or 5) did they start charging for it. You can still find older copies of Gary's Mod around the net, but you don't get any of the new features or achievements people love.

    I guess you exchange sex for sex, but it's like a hug, what you give just comes back to you, and you get more out of it than if you gave nothing at all.

    what if you gave someone a bullet in their body though? they wouldnt give you anything back!

    I admit I didn't think I would like "Portal", thought it would be too confusing, nauseating, and frankly just plain too difficult for my feeble mind, yet I've enjoyed myself immensely with it and am now tackling the advanced levels.

    Actually, up to Garry's Mod 9 was free. Now they're on GM 11 (I believe). Still, it's a great way to spend $10€.

    Yes. But I meant more beforehand than during. Sex isn't even sex if it's not mutual. It's rape.

    /waaaaay off topic (though I guess it doesn't matter now. The deal's over and I started this thread anyway)

    Well you are a minority then. At least if you were a man, which you are not...

    Okay, so I guess you need to take the time to put clothes on, go to the nearest bar and ask guys "hey, wanna have sex?"
    Still, it's less bother than commuting to work for instance.

    More seriously, I see everything that happens before as the same, that is you don't do it in exchange for sex, you do it for its own merits. Just like you don't have sex in exchange for having sex later, or something.
    It's not like if you don't have sex one day you go "Oh, I regret going to see that movie with him!"

    I'm speaking from a married position.

    And I am speaking from a laying down position. :p

    EDIT: I had a "I see what you did there" picture here but it was blocked. So I'll just say: "I see what you did there."

    interesting...
  • edited May 2010
    Yeah, I use my lappy in my bed. Apparently it's bad, someone said on the IRC channel (and I already forgot who it was).
  • edited May 2010
    i use my laptop in bed too, but i get about 5 pillows and prop myself up

    i said interesting because i was wondering why you'd be lying down at 12:10 PM, but then i realised its probably night for you, eh?
  • edited May 2010
    Oh, time of day is irrelevant, my laptop is plugged in because it doesn't have a battery, so I only ever use it from my bed.
  • edited May 2010
    I don't regularly use my laptop in bed, but I have done it once or twice maybe.

    Anyways, might I suggest using a best rest pillow when using your laptop in bed?

    My family always called it a book pillow (as before the advent of laptops, it would most likely be used for reading), but apparently that's not what retailers call them.
  • edited May 2010
    We bought one the other day, I tried using it but it just hurt my back. It was forcing me in a weird position.

    I have a question about one of the achievements, the "falling 30,000 feet" one.

    How far is that in the metric system? And does it have to be one continuous fall, or does the game keep count of all falls? And how long would it take to reach that?

    Okay, those were three questions ... Sorry ...

    It's one fall. Make a portal in the ceiling, and then the other one in the floor directly below the first. Jump in -- and keep falling for a couple of minutes (I don't remember exactly)
  • edited May 2010
    Just let it fall for like 5 minutes and leave it. Then come back and check your achievements. It takes a bit of time.

    Just looking at this thread after my last post...I can't help but feel that I have created a monster.:D

    I think it's around 10 kilometres.

    I went to my grandmothers house and back while doing that. it's really a long time. There is a help option that helps you hitting the portals and always look towards the portal you are trying to jump in.

    ah, I stand corrected. I just remember friends complaining about having to pay. I never played Garry's Mod.
