Portal: No Escape (Live Action Short Film by Dan Trachtenberg)
Length: 6:58 min

I'm not sure if this is an unofficial fan film? It looks absolutely professional in any case. Suspenseful, well-acted, great production value... actually it makes me want to play Portal.

This is very cool! (And I don't play action games; I got enough stress in my daily job. I like strategy though. ;)

I swore off computer games when I was at university because I could lose hours playing them so it seemed wise to go cold turkey. But this one does look like fun.

It's a nice original game, not such a first person shooter. More like an action puzzle game with humor. Steam has on sale periodically, but its normal price is only 9 euro

No kidding, 9 Euro, that's nothing. I'm rarely tempted to play games but this one looks really fun. Maybe I'll check it out...

I used to play on C64 and stopped when I gave my machine away. And really, most of the modern games don't even tempt me, no matter how cool the graphic looks. As far as I'm concerned, nothing will beat the classics like Cauldron II or Paradroid. ;)

I also started with a c64. I didn't stop thou.

If you are interested in "old" games from the nineties and forward. I can recommend the GOG site (Good Old Games) I replaying now, for the n number time Planetscape, that I re-bought there

Do you know if you can play that game with the normal keyboard, or does it need some kind of game pad?

[lakrids404]

keyboard and mouse, with pc games that is the standard with 99.9% of the games

Hee, thanks for the tip, man. I'm in level 5 now. :) (I'm allowing myself one level per work break.)
