Be Excellent To Each Other

Me and Lord Rixondale are half way through co-op.

We are having such fun we are considering slicing our brains in half and meshing together the hemispheres. FOR SCIENCE.

I'm not, you fucking wierdo. Consider my xbox out of bounds.

I was a bit disappointed that the DLC for this had no real single player content (sticking a timer on each SP level doesn't really count) although, to be fair to them, I had wondered how they'd slot SP content in without buggering up the story they've already finished telling in the main campaign. I really should get round to playing the new co-op levels, although that would involve buying a new PS3 controller and goading Mrs Bamba into getting comfortable with the controls again. I actually played the majority of the original co-op levels myself by jusy swapping between the two pads as required. Obviously you're not going to win any speed awards that way but it's surprising how many of the levels can be knocked off relatively easily that way; I think there were only a few levels where simultaneous actions were genuinely required from both players.

DLC TIME, CRAS!

This has upset me loads...

DOWNLOADING

Fucking impressive too, frankly!

To be fair, it's much easier than you'd think in about 90% of levels. It was pretty much by choice I played it like that as I'm the kind of terrible misanthrope idiot who'd rather do that than try and co-ordinate things with a real live human being. Well, I'm happy to do local co-op but trying to manage it online just seemed like a massive nightmare. Luckily Mrs. Bamba eventually overcame the motion sickness she felt when she initially tried it so we finished the last set of levels together if that cheers TheVision up at all.

The Perpetual Testing Initiative - yay! Thanks Valve!

Over to you, Cave Johnson!



Out on May the 8th!

Played through this over the last few days. Was fair tickled by some of the puzzles, felt cheated by some of the others (barely visible tiles positioned fucking miles away ) & was a bit disappointed that...

Every cunt's dialogue was the highlight though, particularly when you stood around like a spare prick after they'd asked you to do something

There was definitely one place I felt that (the point where you're making your way up inside a sort of tunnel-y thing) but mostly I felt it was pretty fair in that respect. Actually, there were a few times when I didn't realise that a bit of wall or whatever was actually portal-able, but it was usually staring me in the face rather than being hidden by being put really far away and I was just being a tit. And you only needed to learn that lesson once and you always spotted the same material whenever it was used again.





Probably my favourite game ever though and the only one in recent years I've played through multiple times.

Also one thats worth playing 2 player , the robots and the 2 players with 2 portals at the same time make an interesting change to the way it all works.

@Bamba: There were a fair number of times that I felt a bit of a tit anaw, but that's half the fun of it

@Zaphod: Aye, I'll play through it on co-op at some point. Will need to be on the typewriter though* so that will cut the number of potential jogadors by a fair bit

I have it on the typerwriter as well (although i've never played that version of it - it was on offer at some point for about £2 so i picked it up)

This game is in my top five for this generation.

I started replaying this around 3 years ago and inexplicably stopped, so I'm finishing it now. I'd forgotten how funny it is (and pretty much all the puzzles too). I'm currently at the part where he kills us (this is that part).

"Holmes vs Moriarty. Aristotle vs MASHY SPIKE PLATE!"

I have this in my Steam library and completed the single achievement I have for it in May 2011, according to my Steam stats.

1.2 hours played and I have never returned to it for no apparent reason whatsoever.

I will rectify this once I have finished my DOOM playthrough.

Old games are better than new games, fuck all this live service 'do something everyday' shit.
