    The first time I played I completely ignored her apart from when she said anything. Now I just drive, not looking at the road and trying to navigate by Alyx's varying expressions of surprise, shock and terror.

    One portal on the roof, one below, fall through, fall trough again, shoot the roof portal next to the platform.

    That must be the only way to get less than 10 steps.

    Because the 10 seconds were easy to get.

    Less than 10 steps isn't that bad.

    Ya, I kinda expected them to integrate that earlier in ep2, but it ended up being more like a minigame.

    Also,
    Did anyone actually bother trying to fight the hunters or did you just do like me and take them out with the car?

    Third person is for losers.

    Speaking of losers, I can not get 52 seconds on the level 16 time challenge. I've gotten 54 twice, but that's as low as I can go.

    If you're going to cheaply make the game harder by throwing a million asshole enemies at me, I'll cheaply make it easier again by fucking cheating.

    It wasn't even hard

    "run over the 2-3 hunters. Grab magnusson device, destroy strider."

    Repeat this a couple of times and you're fine. It was a bit stressy, but hardly difficult

    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 done

    If there was a way to incorporate Call of Duty type battle scenes into a game like HL2, it would truly epic. All that time fighting for the resistance and they are getting mowed down trying to hold a gap while shit is exploding all over the place while you try to solve a puzzle of defeat a bad guy or something.

    Maybe I missed something, but I just read this whole thread over the last few days, ever since I beat Portal... and apparently I'm the only one who thought Chell
    died at the end? I guess people are just assuming that she lost consciousness? The way all the other bits and pieces from GLaDOS's chamber were rainging down, I figured she had hit the ground pretty hard herself.

    I guess everybody took the line "and when you're dead I'll be still alive" to mean that Chell had not died quite yet.
