Portals + Time Travel = I need to sleep on this one.
Portal 2
Small Bit of Progress in Portal Reloaded
I solved a couple chambers on my Steam Deck during lunch today, and obtained the legendary THREE PORTAL DEVICE! I haven’t gotten around to firing the third Portal yet, still understanding how to traverse time. Wibbly Wobbly etc etc. If you haven’t heard about Portal Reloaded check out the trailer! It’s free if you own Portal 2!
The Science Will Continue
I don’t own a Switch, but I know quite a few who do. I’ll have to tell them about it!
Spooktober Gaming!
It’s October! It’s my weekend! It’s time to play some spooky shit, well… at least by Portal 2 standards. I was thinking to myself that I haven’t really played any Portal 2 in awhile, and kinda wondered if there was a good selection of Halloween mods I could download. Surprisingly I found quite a few different maps varying from challenging to interactive shitpost tours.
I’ve only played a few out of the handful that I downloaded from the workshop; they had more than enough content to keep me busy this evening, and plenty more when I can be arsed to return to it. It’s nice to have the holiday option!
Has Anyone Checked Out Portal Reloaded?
I checked out Portal Reloaded this evening. It adds a whole new dimension to the game, or rather two. Aside from the traditional orange and blue portals you can also utilize a third green portal that allows you to travel between the present and the future. You can move a cube in the present, walk through the time portal, and find that the cube is where you left it. It’s really quite trippy, imagine your past actions having an impact in the future, and immediately accessible through a time portal!
If you like Portal or Portal 2 I’d give this a try. I’m only on test chamber 4 so far, and I can already tell my brain cells are going to be in for a ride! 😛
That One Time We Played Portal 2 Single Player in Co-op
Between the two of us is a brain that can solve single player puzzles! or mess up the game, which ever…
Watch Out For This Source Engine Exploit
If for any reason you find yourself playing a multiplayer Source Engine game DO NOT accept any invites from strangers.
Secret Club are a not-for-profit reverse engineering group who’ve found a number of exploits with Valve’s software, which they explain in a series of posts on Twitter. Each of these exploits are remote code execution flaws, which Secret Club told me via email gives a hacker “full control over the victim’s system, which can be used to steal passwords, banking information, and more.”
If what is being reported in the article is true then Valve has been aware of this exploit for two years. This is a serious exploit to have open in the wild, and hopefully the exposure encourages them to get off their duffs to 86 it from their code! Be very careful when playing Source games until this gets resolved.
It’s ironic reading this a day after playing around in GMod with Yutram! Fortunately, it was just the both of us goofing around on maps that would probably be unappealing to twelve year olds Fortnite enthusiasts.
Early Animations From Portal 2
Went looking for early development stuff for Portal 2… was not disappointed. I always like seeing what creativity unfolded, and what would eventually lead to the final product for a game. Some of the included animations make it look like it could have been a horror game. Out of all of it I did like the tube ride!
Portal 2 SFM Diary
I’ve been plugging away at this again. I would have done some animating yesterday, but my adventures through Kamurocho left me in constant suspense. My head is back beyond the clouds though, and not just because I have that good watermelon laced shit. 😛 More fiddling planned for tomorrow.
I wonder who these might be?
Here’s a hint: Only one of them has to try to be humourous.
