Oh this is interesting. I just had a go on Audiosurf and tried to play Still Alive. I invite anyone else who has it installed to have a go and see what happens.
Well, that was....interesting.
Portal 2

^I'm a little irritated since I wasn't logged in when I first did it (and have forgotten my password) so I didn't hear what she said after the track ended because the damned tutorial thing played over it reminding me to log in. Grrr.
Anyway, to those that don't have Audiosurf: your specimen has been processed, please proceed to android hell. Good-bye!
You have to hand it to Valve, they certainly know how to promote a game and make it fun.

"It may not have been your fault as our instrumentation is not able to measure such levels of extreme lack of effort"
You mean like Audiosurf and World of Goo which are better than a lot the full priced titles available?Yeeeaaaaaah... no.I'm not buying games just for the privilege to buy another game.Besides, they're indie games and all indie games are crap. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going back to building a village in Minecraft.
Indies games are often some of the funnest and creative on the market these days.
The reason no one talks about them is because nobody knows about them or dismisses them simply because they are indie games, probably more of the latter than the former as evidenced by the responses I've been getting. Fortunately companies like Valve are working hard to change that thanks to their heavy efforts to promote and support indie developers.

This is an example of why we need the percontation point. Or some other irony mark.

And what exactly do you call that massive thread dedicated to Minecraft? You know, the one you started?
Anyway, it looks like people playing 'The Wonderful End of the Word' had done their part. Looks like they shaved a good few hours from the countdown. Mind you, at this rate we only may get it a day or so early...which was probably the intent from the get-go.

^ Yeah and 'AaAaAA!!! - A Reckless Disregard for Gravity' is hot on their heels. Still can't see it making much of a difference though. I think if we're lucky we'll get it Monday instead of Tuesday. BTW, if anyone has Audiosurf and the Tron Legacy soundtrack, I highly recommend it. Those two were practically made for each other (especially when you set the game sound effects to 'circuits'!) 
I'm actually tempted to reinstall Portal and give it a playthrough to get me back in the mood...but I think I should just save it and wait.

..Well this is interesting. I just had a look at the achievements for Portal 2 and...
I noticed one of them is called "Ship Overboard" which you apparantly get when you "Discover the missing experiment" and the icon is of a ship's anchor. So...looks like the Borealis is making an appearance. Neat!
That was my thought too.
I'm hope from work and I'm ready for some Portaly goodness. Now I just need to wait for it to decrypt.
