You could always play Lego Dimensions and make up with him again.

Ah, I see they've gotten to "The Part Where He Kills You."
DreamingOfDistantShores
Cave Johnson elevated that game from a good game to a good game with a stellar narrative experience. He's still one of the most easily-quotable game characters to date and he never even had any time on-screen. Simmons is a hero of a voice actor. It was actually stunning hearing him in a much sadder, more serious role in Baldur's Gate 3 but he did that well, too.

He had his chance to die for the little ball, and he didn't take it.
AnonKneeMoose
You mean at the part where he kills you. The part where he kills you, you know, that part.
DrNick
This really needs a third act.
Lazarillo
A third act? In a Valve post?
memesis
brandonblk
to do.... what exactly?
also there was a third game that wrapped up some plot lines, it was appature desk job
DrNick
A third comment about when they got back to the modern science lab.

Outside. I'm thinking fallout with portals.

more puzzles? expand the universe? why not have more fun

Portal 2 was a scenario masterpiece. Still my favorite game ever.
TagaryenFangirl
Very much in my top 5 games of all time
AllTheGoodOnesWereGone
It looks like it’s just going to be a puzzle game, but man, best story ever. Best game ever.
smashpro1
One of only 5 games that I consider to be a masterpiece.
creepyguyheygurl
come on now... lets have the others
smashpro1
Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Mario Odyssey, and Red Dead Redemption 2.
RevolutionOnHerLips
I actually hated that guy so much, I was glad when he was gone. I was in 2 for Cave Johnson and potato GladOS

When life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons, what the hell am I supposed to do with these?

Burn your house down, with the lemons

You mean mother fucking J.K. Simmons?! That man is such a good voice actor.
ponkoponko
Good times https://youtu.be/dVVZaZ8yO6o?si=-qbbSAz8FXXDZW01 Want you gone
RuminatingYak
I guess he made it to the part where he kills you.
smashpro1
Well, this is the part where he kills us.
TheSnacker
Most likely just to the part where he gets knocked down the elevator shaft
IFoldlyGo
Or where Wheatley gets control over the Facility and wants to show off how powerful he is to Glados?

Is this the guy that couldn't say "purple burglar alarm"?

Dad, are you space?

Just a reminder, the Space Sphere is orbiting because of how *dense* Wheatley is.

Did you know that Nolan North (Nathan Drake and TLOU's David) voices the Space Core?

Holy shit, he is!

"went to ebay and ordered portal 2" - what the actual fuck?
CollieSis
This sounds like the beginning of a creepypasta with lots of blood, 4th wall breaks, and the usage of the word 'hyperrealistic' somewhere
KilgoreCemetery
That's where I get all my software

Back in my day, video games came in a box with an instruction book. I kept my Nintendo 64 cartridges in a dresser drawer.
hetnkik999
As someone who bought an Xbox 360 copy of Portal 2 (to play on Series X) off eBay just last year, we exist!
CrispyNougat
I bought the orange box for 360 for play on series x last year due to a video from digital foundry
hetnkik999
Orange Box was my first exposure to Valve games way back when and it was a blast. Enjoy!
CrispyNougat
I actually already owned and played it on PC. Looking back in not sure why I bought the 360 disk version last year. Lol
hetnkik999
That's pretty funny. Sometimes it's just nice to have a physical version of something you like.
Wolfwod
I would do that if I really like the game. You'll never know when it's going to be delisted or your account banned on online "retailers". If purchase is not ownership then piracy isn't theft.
neospor1n
I do it on occasion. Prefer physical media, and sometimes to find old stuff it’s just much better priced than competitors
NovaCollision
The only issue: Physical versions of Valve games still require Steam, which means they can delist/restrict it anytime anyway, regardless of the physical copy.
neospor1n
Not sure that’s true for my PlayStation version of portal 2
NovaCollision
Oh, hm, yeah, consoles excepted.
mjperk
This is not true and there are ways around using Steam.
middlenameconfusion
The old ones disguise themselves as those of fewer years (poorly) to walk among us, whispering secrets of a time long past. Smile when the old ones whisper to you. They do not know what Fortnite is, and are afraid of the TikToks.
jimbodoomface
It's two weeks.
mikeatike
You might not be old enough to understand. :) Back in the days of the PS3 and Xbox360, games used to come on physical media. Ironically, it's the company that made Portal that ended that on PC.
AReallySatisfyingPoo
Can confirm. Am old one. I know the significance of channel 3, but have no concept of rizz, drip, or even fleek.
therecanNEVERbeTMI
Sadly I know what Fortnite is and I'm staying well and far away from that. Tiktoks what about Tiktoks if it's good enough it ends up here or on YouTube shorts.
Now either come listen to Sisters of Mercy or get of my lawn.
Harrumph!
MissPhoenix56
Fortnite was good in like the first three seasons and now I don’t even understand what’s going on. My kids know more now.
floatationman
Reminded of this for some reason... https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2009/07/20/welcome-to-retail-oblivion

The original post reminded me of this:
floatationman
It is of an age. I came across a copy of Attack of the Bacon Robots while unpacking some old book boxes. I forgot such a thing was even in my inventory. I wonder how it and the Narbonic volumes also unearthed will age.
Shaows
Probably only had a PS3 or 360.
TheGlow
Yeah, and if its old, you hack it and get shit for free.
Theniyaal
Yeah, but thus is from.a specific timeframe, because The Orange Box came out and ain't no one was buying Portal or Half-Life piecemeal.
lamagra22
Oh yeah, that's fair enough. I'm not a console gamer so I often forget that's a thing.
XXXSpork
Is this a poor person joke I’m too rich to understand.gif
UNHchabo
Honestly, I think PC gaming isn't more expensive, just has a wider range of cost.
Portal 2 is on Steam Sale right now for $0.99, and even "full price" is $10.
Yes, a $2000 PC costs more than any console, but this is a 2011 game with generous minimum requirements even at the time. You can probably find a PC that will run this well that someone in your area is literally giving away for free.
Unclescam
But the advantage of having a pc over a console is simply having a pc and not a one use appliance.
eppykaze
Even a gen 1 chromebook runs Portal 2 and min settings. Hard to believe anyone has a potato pc weaker that that.
hetnkik999
I'm on an 11 year old laptop lol. It runs Portal 1 in a rough state and Portal 2 not really at all. On the other hand my Series X runs Portal 2 at 4K.
10000Bees
I know multiple people who only own a smarrtphone. Only one of 'em plays games that I know of but he has three consoles
SomeDetroitGuy
Lots of people prefer to play on consoles over a computer.
Sprinx
“Electricity? From a potato?!!”
Shaows
What if his internet was only good enough to browse eBay and not download the game?
UNHchabo
Physical copies were made for PC too.
Shaows
That was just a case with a code inside, the Orange Box was the same way.
eppykaze
Downloading is just a matter of patience
