Everything Valve touches turns to gold in my opinion. They have yet to disappoint me. Don't get me wrong I'm waiting for it to happen, but it hasn't happened yet. Unless you count not releasing or even mentioning Episode 3 in years.
Having never played the game(s) because I don't do Steam... well... no need for a turret here.
Duder. Dudeness. Duderectomy. Put all anti-Steam thoughts aside and get yo'self some Portal. It is your duty as a gamer... NAY! as a HUMAN... to play Portal.
If you really, really must avoid Steam ( ), and have access to a PS3 or 360, get the console version. If you don't have access to a console, find somebody who does, and tell them that you haven't played Portal. If they have any decency at all, they should hook you up.

I would agree, except Episode 1 wasn't all that great. They found their footing again in Episode 2 though.
Episode 1 wasn't the best, sure. But it was still fun and still engaging.
And I don't think Valve actually made Ricochet. Wasn't that a sort of Day of Defeat/Counter-Strike type deal? Either way, it was an experiment. It didn't take off, sure. But even if all that's true, they were trying new things. Taking risks. And that's why I respect them.
I feel so bad for you. This is one of the few games that I think everyone should play.
I completely endorse this sentiment. Portal and Portal 2 are awesome and anyone who enjoys thinking in a game will have the time of their lives playing them. OF THEIR LIVES.

At least the first game which is absolute gaming perfection in every aspect. Even the short playtime (let's face it Portal 2 has some boring lengthy segments).
Just beat Portal 2 this morning. Never actually completed the first game... 'bout darn time I did. The original is way harder than the sequel, but Portal 2''s co-op can get brutal.

I actually liked Portal 2 a lot better. The story was more enthralling, and that's the main thing I look for. The puzzles could have been harder, but it doesn't matter that much. As for boring, lengthy segments, I don't know what you're talking about. I had fun the entire way.

I hate steam too but it's seriously worth picking up a PS3 or 360 just to play Portal and its sequel, as those versions don't require you to use steam. Yes, the games are that good.
Putting the turret on hold for now, too much grad work to do. Making a GLaDOS-coming-out -of -a-portal to carry at the two conventions I'm attending this summer instead. Interestingly, this is nothing more than a canvas, a shoebox, some paint, and an old garden hose. Just need to attach three pieces of hose to GLaDOS's head and punch holes through the canvas to have her come out of it. Cost maybe 10 bucks and less than three hours. Cheap, easy, fast, AND it looks cool? Win in my book.
Sometimes she kills me or strands me on a platform somewhere instead of properly executing the solution to a puzzle in co-op. It's terrible until a few minutes later when the thing is actually done right.
Me? I don't make such mistakes. I'd never accidentally kill or strand my co-op partner.
Whenever she dies or gets stranded due to my own actions, it's completely intentional.

You just do it because you love me. And the Steam achievements.
Also, I added the wiring into GLaDOS's head. There's three LEDs for the eye, and a speaker hidden inside. You didn't think I was just going to paint her and be done with it, did you?
So, the joke is "We just mentioned Pokemon AND Portal! LOVE US, INTERNET!", right?
Not really. Pokeballs don't make any sense, because they hold creatures that are larger than the pokeballs themselves*. So the suggestion that they come from a physics-defying corporation from another game series... I mean, it qualifies as an actual joke. The execution of said joke in this comic is pretty "meh," but it is a joke, and they are making a connection that is mildly, mildly clever. The reworking of the line from Still Alive is extra weak though.

I'm having a memory of a picture that I think I once saw of the inside of a pokeball. It was like a resort. I have no idea if this is a real thing or something that my mind made up to somehow justify the Pokemon's captivity.

I'm pretty sure that the canonical explanation has to do with the pokemon behaving as data (hence why you can save them on a computer and stuff. I have no idea how that makes any more sense than shrinking, but there you go.
As for the little resort inside the pokeball, are you sure you're not thinking of classic sitcom I Dream Of Genie, in which she had a little lounge inside her bottle? Hah

I've never seen I Dream of Genie, though. I think it was on Deviantart...or maybe it was something that I was attempting to get a friend to draw or something. I don't know, I just have that mental image of a Pokemon resort inside the Pokeball.

I think there was a set of toys that were basically personalized Pokemon paradises in each Pokeball.

1. It was I Dream of Jeannie, not "I Dream of Genie". She WAS a Genie, her NAME was Jeannie. Pronounced the same, spelled differently.
2. The pilot episode of Star Trek doesn't think a resort inside a Pokeball is a valid excuse for captivity.
...
Unless you're ugly. Your priorities should be, in this order:
1. Be sexy
2. Freedom
3. Happiness
As far as Original Series Star Trek is concerned, anyway. The later series greatly value being DULL and DRONING ON FOR HOURS about THINLY VEILED POLITICAL COMMENTARY.

Well, I have never actually seen the show. I was just going off of what LugiHann was saying.

The whole captivity thing is also quite alright if you aren't human or are completely paralyzed, also according to Star Trek. Also, there are a lot of ugly Pokemon.

I think you are just trying to get a rise out of a certain Comrade with which we are both acquainted with this statement.

I think so too. One day, it must be on GOG.com.
Edit: Here's what the progression looked like. I'll write a proper tutorial next week.
Stop being so awesome, you're making the rest of us look bad.
Just wanted to leave this here.
I found it humorous.
No I didn't. I just fangasm'd on the probability of the presented idea.
For my shame, I didn't give two fucks about wit -or anything to pretend as wit- in this case.
Just... I like spinoffs and conjunction.

GASP! And here I was, thinking you were pretty shameless!
Pokemon are really Time Lords using the Chameleon Circuit to look like weird little animal thingies!
