I don't know. I just have it in my head that they're called ratman holes. Did you find the one in the companion cube stage?

It's hinted that you were always meant to survive the fire pit and 'kill' her though, it was all part of the test. Also whatever GLaDOS is doing seems to be for the overall good of humanity which can't be bad.

That was pretty much my thoughts. I wonder what tests we'll be given in the next game looks like we're out doors

Anyways, I still don't trust a computer that sits there and tries to kill me especially when trying to dump me in A PIT OF FIRE and kill me with DEADLY NEUROTOXINS.
And she has the nerve to call the main character a monster... although that's really part of how fucked up Glados is.

It has to be more complicated. We already know that it's in the HL universe and Aperture Science is a rival of Black Mesa, eventually some greater connection will be made.

That doesn't mean I can't ignore it. Portal told me everything I needed to know about the story of Portal. Until I play the sequel, there's nothing else to it.

Sure, ignore it if you like. I'm just pointing out that there's an overarching story.

God damn. That looks awesome.
Knowing portal though, you'll end up having to kill your partner.

I'm sure that will be the end of game decision where it says die or kill your partner, but there's probably some elusive way to both get out.

I can't imagine you can play this with an AI partner we should all let each other know if we're getting this.

That co-op is just a 'bonus', there's still a single player campaign. Actually I remember Valve mentioning multiplayer as well, hopefully that gets confirmed. At this point I'll be buying it for PC, unless the Sony/Valve partnership adds something new to the mix.

Co-op and single player story are supposed to be about the same length.

Holy shit this is out in 6 days. And that's assuming the rumor that Valve are releasing it early isn't true.
