I've always wondered what it's with computers and games that scares so many girls away. You don't want to see the looks on certain girls' faces if they hear me and my friends talk about Fallout 3...

It doesn't help there's a bunch of them that always sit not far from us in school during lunch break.

Maybe I should buy the Girl's Guide To Dating A Nerd for them.

Though I wonder if it contains specific instructions for gamers.

Hey, I'm a nerd at heart, and a lot of my friends don't understand me. I've done the cheerleader thing, pep squad and stuff. I usually go for puzzle games, not shooters, but I liked Half-Life 2. It led me to Portal which offers the best of both worlds.

Well hl2 is sorta a puzzle if you think about it.

True, and you do get the added bonus of putting a bullet into a Combines head... several times over.

I am working on the final episode now! I feel it will be my best work.

I downloaded this a while ago and i finally got around to playing it. That "addictive flinging" thing you did was a good try, but you should also try to give us a higher ceiling so that we dont bash our heads into it and lose all that momentum every time we screw up. In the room where your only given a box and you have to cross a pit to a higher ledge you can't portal onto, the box was a real annoyance because it made me believe i was supposed to like climb on it or something to portal myself onto the other side of the pit. The portalable wall is too hard to spot unless you spend all your time searching for strange lines to portal yourself onto. I don't know what the egg was this time but i assume it was behind that door in the back of the BTS area.

Read the previous posts, they'll lead the way.

am i the only one having trouble opening these maps? pesp_v1_2 opens a blank hallway with a locked door, and 3 starts at the end of the game.

If you are getting a locked door, then you have not replaced the v1_2 file with the new file included in the zip.

k thanks, got it all figured out. pretty good maps.

Please Excuse this slight bump, but I am in the "Unmonitored" test chamber and I am confused.

I am sure I am supposed to get a portal onto the flat part of the celing facing away from you, but every time I try, I die

You will have to use the technique of standing in a portal's base and re shooting it elsewhere.

Thanks for the tip.

Ok, I finished it. I didn't like this one as much as the first one though...

This one was 100% Portal Puzzles, having a little bit of non-Portal puzzles mixed in makes it cool, you weren't showing too much more of behind the scenes Aperture either...

I still liked it, but the first one is my favorite of the two...

The third one will cover much of the story

So when is the next one coming out anyway?

You would not imagine how much time I have devoted to this. I am almost done the voices now, then i have cube maps, soundscapes, testing, and minor detailing. Id give it a few days.

Its all been good so far. I'm sure this one will be even better.

If everything goes well it should be released in 5 to 6 hours. I just have to learn how to make it into the special zip
