I have to say this is isnt really funny anymore, Valve are just taking the ****.

Refund.

Really?

REALLY NOW?!

They're advertising INDIE games and advertising them, and if we do what they want we get the game early, but if we don't we get it ON THE DAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO RELEASE ANYWAY..

Crying about it is pathetic, and saying you want a refund because Valve is supporting Indie developers is pathetic and sad.

Doubt this is going to affect anyone but the Walmart in Whitecourt, Alberta is selling Portal 2 already for the Xbox 360.

That happened when Half Life 2 was coming out, Bestbuy broke the street date. :shiftyninja:

Still got my receipt and pictures when I bought it heh.

Wow... Portal was 3 gig. Portal 2 is 10. :blink:

And I'm officially ready to rock and roll! :happy:

Considering it was just a "plus" to the orange box and not a standlone game, normal that this time around they have made alot more content.

Also, there are 2 games in one: Single player and co-op which is different.

While unlikely, if any of this ARG stuff does turn out to be Half Life E3 related, I will be very happy.

None of it is about Half-Life 3. It's entirely related to Portal 2.

The game has also leaked, and there doesn't appear to be any hints at the next installment of the Half-Life franchise as was speculated.

Look at the Portal 2 achievements - "Ship overboard - find the missing experiment"

Also speculation that thewatcher is Gman. I said it's unlikely, but some of it can easily be interpreted as related to HL2e3. Portal 2 is set in the HL universe, there will be some references to it, even if they weren't even making it.

That's exactly what I'm saying. The game has leaked, and nothing has indicated any information about Half-Life 3, despite the assumptions. Portal 2 takes place hundreds of years after the events in the Half-Life franchise.

Half-life 3 will be like the new Duke Forever pretty soon.

Except the situations are completely different. Valve is a company thats just growing and making more money, Duke Nukem has had a string of problems that there is no reason Valve would have.

I'm personally still convinced they will tie up the series, they occasionally drop hints in interviews, and other things, and considering how secretive they are about everything who knows. If they want to make it they will, if they don't, they won't - but I doubt it's in development hell.

What if the experiments on the Borealis were not just portals in space but in time as well which is why the ship dissappeared it could have been transported into the Portals timeline hence the achievement?

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
