Wow. I just saw a video on youtube from Valve showing some 7th graders taking a trip to Valve headquarters and learning how to build levels in Portal. I am so jealous of them, especially since I want to work in video games when I grow up and work specifically at Valve. How I wish my school could use Portal 1 and 2 to teach physics. I already got Portal 1, though, but still, really cool of Valve to do this. This is definitely something worth talking about in my Portal 2 podcast.

This is awesome. Portal 2 is one of my all-time favourite games, yet I never played the original so this is perfect for me! Just downloading it just now.

"How do you use the toilet?"

"You press E."

I am still so jealous of their oppurtunity...

I'm guessing that the DLC is coming out on the 20th because of this.

Also, I really aspire to work as a Level Designer or 3d Modeler at Valve in the future. It would be so awesome if my High School did this.

Because portal is too good for free, the downside to this is no mods can't be installed

It lasts "until" the 20th. It's not available on the 20th.

Also, be thankful that most PC versions of a game are cheaper that the console versions.

Be thankful that internet purchases exist. It's a tonn more expensive if you buy a physical copy.

I know, but at least a heads-ups would be nice. I wonder if Valve will add anything special like they did with Portal 1, besides the bonus maps. Like more secret codes and stuff like that.
