Every time I see a Valve thread with a teasing title like this I expect you-know-what and I know I'm just setting myself up for disappointment... oh well.

It's presentation is definitely a league above the majority. Genuinely witty writhing, superb voice acting, despite its age the source engine is still really nice to look at... It's definitely a runner up for game of the year... although, considering its 2011 and 9 years are left before the decade is up, game of the decade might be stretching it. I honestly hope the competition is stiffer then this in the next 10 years.

Left 4 Dead 3 will come soon, Miracle.
You just have to wait with the rest of us. XD

OT: Bit early for any game of the decade awards to be handed out. I'd say wait 8 or 9 more years, as I'm sure that there will be other games out in this time that make Portal 2 look like an average game at best.

Did I tell you I finally got to play L4D2? I hated it. Weird, huh?

Also, 'Army Of Mantis Men' is undoubtedly going to be the next meme we have to hear over 9000 times a day.

I was just saying the other night to a steam friend, everything they show about portal 2 makes it look that much more epic.

No, you didn't. Have you reviewed it and I've somehow forgotten about it/didn't notice it? And I wasn't too keen on it either. It was fun for a while but after playing the original L4D for about 150 hours, in split screen only, it was just a bit...boring, after about 20 hours or so. Plus the AI was about as intelligent as your average new born baby on occasions. Examples are me being pounced by a hunter with Ellis right next to me. 5 seconds later with me about to die, he finally shoots the bloody thing of me. Grr...

Wow. Gameplay footage actually making me laugh. That not something that happens every day. Or even every week.

It might be a tiny bit early to start throwing around phrases like "Game of the Decade" though. Then again, as far as I'm concerned, Portal 1 was the Game of Last Decade. So who knows...

Now that's... that's blasphemy.

OT: Hardest version choice ever.

I want to do coop with so many people and all of them have it on different systems.

It'll be a solid puzzle game with some good humour, just like the first one was. Nothing more than that.

I for one am really looking forward to it, despite not being able to really hear much in the video you posted.

I loved how they poked fun at Chell's silence as well... "Press the Jump Button to Speak".

That is complete eyecandy. You can scream to me all day, I still think the Source Engine is beautiful.

And it's funny. I actually laughed at the dialogue.

The hype meter just jumped up.

Yeah.. truly funny dialogue is so awesome when it works. I'm still at work and had to cover my mouth lest everyone come and see what I'm laughing at.

The test group thing was just hilarious.

Bah, portal 2 will be great, but ... if they're claiming "game of the decade" now, they're just admitting they have no plans to make Half Life 2 episode 3.

It is just me, or does Cave Johnson sound just like JK Simmons (the guy who plays Jameson in the Spiderman movies)? Am I crazy, or does someone else hear it too?
