    Ofcourse there will be! I heard the portal gun would be introduced into HL2:Ep3. But that might just be a rumour.

    portal is connected to half-life already, the borealis is shown in episode two, and the borealis just so happens to be run by the same company out of portal, (apeture science), in episode 3 u have to go find the borealis so im guessing portal comes in there :p, whether u get the gun or not, who knows.

    But is that it? Do people only like it due to the cake jokes? I admit the song was catchy, but the gameplay didn't wow me. If it had been more than a puzzle game I might have been more impressed.

    I just don't get it. :(

    Check this out,
    for halloween, my friend Kate wanted to be Portal Girl. So I made her a portal gun, and she made the uniform.
    Anyways, it was pretty cool

    Here are some pics:

    If I remember correctly wasn't the "portal girl" topless in the game? You'll need to make some costume adjustments and repost. ;)

    Bah, that's a couple of months old... And about the most boring thing vgcats has ever done... :(
    I was seriously disappointed when they posted that about a month after everyone else had done their Portal jokes.

    Other than that, I love the costume, and can't wait for Portal 2 :D

    As for what the deal is with Portal?
    Well, it's just a good game. It's one of the few games that manage to merge an original story with innovative gameplay, and pull off an excellent presentation, with humor, graphics and voice acting that just work really well together.

    Tough luck if you don't like it. :p
