Knives Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Fun concept, needs more real world (i.e. Halo or HL2) application. Like this?: http://www.primotechnology.com/2007/10/17/half-life-2-portal/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunnowhathuh Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Keeps crashing on my computer for some reason. What I've managed to play so far is pretty fun though. Now, if only I can get the damn game to play for more then 10-15mins without crashing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunnowhathuh Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Try this trick as it may help you... Thanks for the suggestion. Yeh, I'm pretty sure I've been having severe paged pool memory issues ever since I got my new rig. Halo 2, Portal, Hellgate London Demo and a couple of other games I can't remember have all been having a crash fest on me they all crash the same way (screen goes black, looping sounds). Gave your suggestion a go and it seemed to do the trick but I can't be 100% certain, only gave it around 5mins. After I gave Portal a go, decided to see if the Hellgate demo would work but it still had the same problem. Will get around to trying Portal again when I have time (longer than 5mins this time) and hopefully I'll be able to play the whole way through. Thanks again.

Schwaltzvald Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 What exactly does this do? It's an odd issue as it has to do with how memory is managed, in particularly with games that run on direct3d more so than ogl. My rig has about one gig of ram, plays Quake Wars, Quake 3A, Quake 4, FEAR+expansion beautifully, yet when it came to games that are dependant to direct3d, unless I was running on very low settings, would crash on me after a while. I could be wrong, but my vid card was more or less catered to playing games likw Quake Wars (ogl) although it can play games like HL2 beautifully after I did the trick. If any one else with more knowledge about the issue and how the trick alleviates the problem are more than welcomed to give more info. Edit: Dunno, what's your system specs..? You might even have a hardware issue for all I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhsu Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 So I just beat it. I'm almost in tears at how awesome that was.Also the first time I watched myself fall through a hole in the floor while stepping out of the wall at the same time bended my mind. My mind was bended. EDIT: Also chasing myself down an inter-dimensional hallway I made was one of the coolest things I've ever done in a game. EVER. Sounds like someone never played Narbacular Drop...

Penfold Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Got to play Portal for the first time this weekend, and I've gotta say it's brilliant. I was expecting it to be good, but it turned out to be better than I imagined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BardicKnowledge Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Portal was a triumph all around -- I can't wait to see HL2: Episode 3 now though...I hope they fully integrate the Portal gun into the gameplay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knives Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Portal beaten in 18 minutes in one sitting: Part 1, Part 2 A must-see for everyone, except probably those who are stilling waiting to get the game and don't want any spoilers or hints at how to complete the levels, though the guy does it so fast I doubt watching this video gives away much of anything except the silly humor valve implemented.

BardicKnowledge Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 ^that's slick. Has it been posted to speeddemosarchive yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knives Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I think Groobo (the guy who did that run) may still try again for a faster time before submitting to SDA. There's actually a big portal thread on the SDA forums where he's contributing along with other portal enthusiasts and speedrunners on how to beat the levels in the fastest manner possible, so the video sort of did originate from SDA, but has yet to be submitted and posted.

Fishy Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Fucking hell, that was bar-none the greatest game I've ever played. Great idea, well executed with a beautiful sense of humour. The sudden change of atmosphere was superb, and the puzzles were challenging but do-able. Also, best ending/credits to a game aswell. I can't wait to see if they incoporate this gun into any other HL titles. I loved the feeling of being this guinea pig to some maniacal AI that probably killed the entire Aperture staff itself. The way it tries to convince you otherwise was a constant source of entertainment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wacky Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 "Good news. I figured out what that thing you just incinerated did. It was a morality core they installed after I flooded the enrichment center with a deadly neurotoxin to make me stop flooding the enrichment center with a deadly neurotoxin. So get comfortable, while I warm up the neurotoxin emitters." "2+2 is… 10… in base four." "There was even going to be a party for you. A big party that all your friends were invited to. I invited your best friend the companion cube. Of course, he couldn't come because you murdered him. All your other friends couldn't come either because you don't have any other friends because of how unlikable you are. It says so here in your personnel file: Unlikable. Liked by no one. A bitter, unlikable loner whose passing shall not be mourned. SHALL. NOT. BE. MOURNED. That's exactly what it says. Very formal. Very official. It also says you're adopted, so that's funny too." "Look - we're both stuck in this place. I'll use lasers to inscribe a line down the center of the facility, and one half will be where you live, and I'll live in the other half. We won't have to try to kill each other or even talk if we don't feel like it." This must be what SHODAN is like if she had the Girl's sense of humour. And Petulance. I loled. I am still lolling.

Fishy Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 GLADOS is actually the best character ever. She was so good at creeping you out and making you laugh at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antipode Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 So now wacky you see why everyone wouldn't shut up about this game just recently. I think the writing is probably the best of any game I've played. "We had some fun though, right? Remember when the platform was sliding into the fire pit and I was all like "goodbye" and you were all like "NO. WAY." and then I was like "we pretended we were going to kill you!" That was great..."

Shadow Wolf Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I have portal sigs! HORRAY! Now that you mention it, Wingless, where did those sigs come from? Because if I've got my timeline right, you had that sig WAY before portal came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
