#E3 LateNews! - Portal! PORTAL everywhere!!

Wait a minute... Shenmue 3 was finally confirmed? And we will finally get a Final Fantasy 7 remake? And The Last Guardian will be released!?!

This can only mean one thing... The apocalypse!!!

Or... #HalfLife3Confirmed guys!!!

Wait, did we get anything vaguely Half-Life-ysh or from Valve at this E3 this year? Well, not exactly...



The super-duper random epic Lego crossover game LEGO Dimension will be getting a Portal pack! Featuring GlaDos! And even Stephen Merchant reprising his role!

Man, I just can't get used to seeing Legos talking, but that's probably just me.

AND



Pinball FX 2 will also be getting a standalone Portal-themed table!

Portal everywhere! That sort of counts as Half-Life-ysh, right? Man, I wish Valve simply decided to jump on the hype-train bandwagon and randomly announced HL3 even if they're not actually planning to go through with it, just to mess with people. Could you imagine it?

At this point I'd actually take a Portal 3 instead, what with all the promotion the series' been getting lately.

#FanFilm Friday - Aperture: Lab Ratt

For today, here's a pretty fantastic Portal fanfilm, like there's so many out there.

This one being pretty fun - more so than the more "fanfic" ones - being actually an adaptation of the official Portal comic book Portal 2: Lab Rat.

It follows the story of the schizophrenic invisible protagonist of the first game, Doug Rattmann.
It starts before Portal 1, runs alongside that same game and then ends up a lil' before Portal 2.



Doug Rattman was an Aperture employee. He survived when GLaDOS took over the facility but slowly went insane. When GLaDOS made a list of test subjects, Rattman moved Chell to the #1 spot to be tested first because he had read her file and had a hunch about her....
 
And here's a link to the online version of the comic book.
My only complaint with all these fanfilms is how serious and moody they all are, when the game's so full of humor....

Music - Still Alive cover by Roomie

Here's a neat find of the day.
Portal's Still Alive ending theme song by some dude named "Roomie".

Okay it starts a bit slow and the guy looks like a douche kinda (sorry Roomie!) but the song is pretty darn catchy. Love the rythm and his rockin' voice!

Check this out:



Awesome!
Exactly what I needed to wake me up one this week's debut sleepy morning.

Aperture NEWS! Portal 2 Getting In-Game Map Editor Next Year

Here's a great announcement!
People loved the recent update Valve brought to Portal 2.

Well, next year you will be able to create your own levels thanks to a future update which will add an in-game editor to Portal!
Valve says the editor will allow users to create both single and co-op stages, and will be “easy to use,” which suggests an interface much simpler than what is usually used to build levels for games.
Players will also apparently be able to “view, play and vote on them [levels] with a simple click.”
And here's some early screens of said editor:



Looks pretty simple and straightforward. I love it already!

Gamin' NEWS! Portal is back..with robots!!

Portal 2 is looking up quite nicely.
I really liked the first one, one of the great FPS surprises of these last years.
Who knew it would become that popular? Probably nobody expected such a reaction from the public!

Anyway, Valve's been twickin' the sequel.
Now with more puzzles!
Longer campaign!
More difficult!
More twists and surprises!
More plot!
And now with co-op!

   

Neat! A playable co-op mode in a side story, from the point of view of two bots!
