The Orange Box

Post by Soviet » October 13th, 2007, 9:14 pm

did anyone else (besides nightmare :P ) get it? Because, tbh, its amazing. The graphics have taken huge strides since episode 1 and are phenomenal in many places. Portal is also amazing, the physics are incredibly realistic for going through the portals and it is amazingly original beyond anything I expected. Only sad cause I beat both in 10 hours :(

I must agree that both games are a bit short, but if you really want to go for the extra mile, try getting all the achievements in all three games and beating the advanced levels in portal.
They really have went up with the graphics, such as dynamic shadows, better animated destructible objects that do not bring down fps or use cpu at all.

All three games a great, and I will probably spend my time playing those, come to think of it, I haven't even downloaded the cod4 demo yet.

And now for the lyrics to the famous song that plays during the credits:
You can listen to the song here.
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. 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.
Still alive.

Portal: The flash Version
http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/404612

Orange box is one game that is going to be overlooked by too many people. It is a great collection of games
I cannot wait to play more portal levels. I think the PC version will have the greatest promise of new levels though oh the possibilities
