Awesome indeed.

I might have to re-install and re-play it now.
I'll come up with an evil scheme later. First, it's time to build a giant robot!

Awesome. I was just thinking I needed a new game to play. This will do nicely from what I've heard. :3
nintendonut888: Hey Baity. I beat the high score for Sanae B hard on the score.dat you sent me. X3
Baity: For a moment, I thought you broke 1.1billion. Upon looking at my score.dat, I can assume that you destroyed the score that is my failed (first!) 1cc attempt on my first day of playing. Congratulations.

Wait ... does this mean I need to download Steam in addition to Portal just to run it?

I just bought the orange box a few weeks ago...  :flamingv:



But yeah, Portal ist truly a great game, 3 hours of awesomeness. That reminds me, I should probably check out the advanced maps.

Wahey, it's another game that multitudes of people have told me to play.

Haven't gone anywhere near Steam before but I'll take a look at what I can do.

For once, I am with Banana. I've only ever heard of Portal, never learned what it was.

Am I less of a person for this? :V
