    My son finished Portal (original on Orange box) last night. For those that haven't finished it before, there is this really cute song sung by the computer at the end. It's so awesome and unexpected, I went to bed with a big smile on my face :D Does that sound weird?

    Not weird at all! After I beat the game, my kids fell in love with that song and were singing it for weeks afterwards. :)

        Jonathan Coulton (may his name be glorified on high) wrote it. There's a version with Sara Quinn (of Tegan & Sara) singing it on his last album, Artificial Heart. Yes, I like the song (see my sig) :)

          No... this was a triumph... ;P my guess would be, that everyone, who's played the game, doin' a sing-along in the head... which will last for the next two hours

            One of the reasons why games are largely so derivative these days is that no-one is willing to do something different, no-one wants to take a risk. I find that a little sad really. In this case, someone took a risk and suddenly we get a game that can properly be called "iconic". Someone should really beat the guys in charge of EA et al and shout at them with a loud voice "It's OK to take a risk: we won't crucify you if you make the occasional blunder as long as you make some really great things as well." Well done to Valve for having the faith to give those guys a chance. On another related topic, when are we going to get the next episode of Half Life 2, for crying out loud?

                He will like it, my daughter did. I liked it too. The Wheatley character is a hoot. Has a lot of great lines such as "So there's a slight chance that you have a minor case of serious brain damage"

                It was broke, so I fixed it.

                I like to sit and listen to the hilarious things GLaDOS says. I never finish the 'tests' in a reasonable amount of time because I'm sitting there laughing at the computer. Remember the Portal trailer? "If at first you don't succeed, you fail."

                  In Portal 2 Wheatley and GlaDOS get irritated with Chell when you don't respond to them. It is half the fun the comments they make.
