    I'll say...close to a week to mail an envelope from Michigan to Ohio. Looking at Google Maps, that's a 3 and a half hour drive. Also, they have a photo of your house :p

    Well I officially have pretty much farmed the game for all its worth.

    Beat single & multi and just got the last of the 50 achievements. Sadly no unlock for that, since they have all that stuff in the store and want to make this a game like TF2 with hats and other misc items you think they would have addded a few here and there for achievement hunting but I guess they expect you to buy them all (lol)

    Still willing to play co-op with anybody that asks and want to do my youtube series still, but other than that its back to starcraft 2 for me.

    You get rusty so fast in that game if you dont keep playing.

    Yeah, I got rusty in SC2 two weeks after I beat the game.

    I'm up for videos anytime I'm on. my mic may not be up to par, I'm not sure how it sounds. It's on an older plantronics headset.

    Did anyone get Portal 2 for free? My friend said he played 6 games on some list during the event where you could unlock portal early and he ended up getting the game for free

    No. The ARG only allowed people who brought it for pre-order and pre-loaded to get in earlier. You still need to buy the game.

    I think it has something to do with the return address.

    FBI was probably tracking it and only let it pass thru to see what would happen when you got it.

    Vicious hard at work again I see! Pretty good digital deconstruction of the electronic sharpie! :p



    That would be awesome. Aperture Science stamp. Will have to suggest to Valve. Although you can get these:

    can't get those, as i have'em allready (except for the shirt, but i hate that style of shirt. i think i'll design an own one).

    the cube, o how i love it. it gets eaten by a headcrap at my place, though..

    :)


    i'd love a portal drone (non-plush) that talks and reacts. that would be perfect.

    one could actually create that with a wiimote (has speaker and motion sensors).. hmm....
