    Portal 2 soon! Finally on the final month.

    Portal 2 Release

    There is something special I have planed for this game. I really want to play through the co-op mode from beginning to end and record it via fraps and make a series of videos for youtube.

    It should be entertaining and possibly educational at the same time.

    So what I need is a person(s) that are up to the task of playing with me that do not mind being recorded and must be willing to vocalize, I will be communicating with you via my mumble server to help coordinate the game as this game is supposed to be very hard.

    We will be talking our way through the game, possibly tossing jokes and insults and just hopefully having fun.

    So its a requirement to be open and vocal and to have a decent quality microphone and a setup that wont send reverb into the recording, so you will have to wear headphones probably.

    I do not have a fixed game time or anything yet, but I can try to do that if somebody finds a set time they can play with me. Will probably just keep an eye out for anybody that is part of my "portal 2 team" on my steam friends list and if I see you on I will ask you to play.

    So if you think you would like to participate in my project post here and I can try to further organize things once I have some participants.


    An example video, a popular co-op series the yogcast for Magicka



    <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/wZHhwUK8aj8?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="390" width='640'>

    I want to be fun and outgoing like these guys, but not nearly at the level they are at.... Plus magicka is a lot more hectic than Portal 2 anyways (I would think)

    Recap:

    Need
    >To want to have fun
    >A microphone that works well
    >A setup with no reverb (headphones or really good push to talk use)
    >To have Portal 2 on release
    >To be on my Steam friends list
    >To download and use Mumble a free VoIP service

    A/S/L - Do not matter, however if your under 18 get your parents permission (or tell me you did)

    If you gift me the game, I'm down.

    I have a quality vocal microphone and headphones. I can be fun and animated. I can fraps myself at max settings (definitely 720p, MAYBE 1080p) and send you the avi files. You can mix them in back or forth or render them side by side or whatever you like ;)

    =)

    Just a term "portal 2 team" basically I mean anybody on my friends list that I know is interested in this project.

    I could create a portal 2 group like the NBR group to organize it easier but thats probably not really necessary.

    Lyrics:
    This was a triumph.
    I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS.
    It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.
    Aperture Science
    We do what we must
    because we can.
    For the good of all of us.
    Except the ones who are dead.
    But there's no sense crying over every mistake.
    You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
    And the Science gets done.
    And you make a neat gun.
    For the people who are still alive.
    I'm not even angry.
    I'm being so sincere right now.
    Even though you broke my heart.
    And killed me.
    And tore me to pieces.
    And threw every piece into a fire.
    As they burned it hurt because I was so happy for you!
    Now these points of data make a beautiful line.
    And we're out of beta.
    We're releasing on time.
    So I'm GLaD. I got burned.
    Think of all the things we learned
    for the people who are still alive.
    Go ahead and leave me.
    I think I prefer to stay inside.
    Maybe you'll find someone else to help you.
    Maybe Black Mesa
    THAT WAS A JOKE.
    HAHA. FAT CHANCE.
    Anyway, this cake is great.
    It's so delicious and moist.
    Look at me still talking
    when there's Science to do.
    When I look out there, it makes me GLaD I'm not you.
    I've experiments to run.
    There is research to be done.
    On the people who are still alive.
    And believe me I am still alive.
    I'm doing Science and I'm still alive.
    I feel FANTASTIC and I'm still alive.
    While you're dying I'll be still alive.
    And when you're dead I will be still alive.
    STILL ALIVE

    The one game in the last 3 years I've been excited about playing, and the day it comes out I'll be on a business trip. As soon as I get back, I have to turn around and drive 200 miles to spend the weekend with my in-laws. There is no justice in the world. :(

    Ok anybody that wants to participate just join the Portal 2 group and that will be the easy way to do things. When I am going to play I will see who is online for the group and ask if you can play.

    I just pre-ordered Portal 2. But then I realized I was dreaming when I did the pre-order, and I just pooped my pants. Yeah... I don't have many friends, and will definitely need someone to do some of the co-op with. My steam id is also Isavetheday.

    Also I have a copy of Portal to give away to someone. Just be the first to PM me the answer to the question below with your steam name, and you get it.

    A neon lamp contains ____ gas

    EDIT: Portal copy given away to ronnieb since he was the only one that even bothered caring enough to answer the question after many hours of waiting on my end.

    I am in! Made a thread about playing through with someone, and a dearest 'Baka' directed me here. Anyone have one of the 2 pack left to sell? :)
