Finished Portal 2 last night. (Note to self: remember, momentum is conserved!) Oh my god, THIS GAME. It's fantastic and clever and mind-bending in all the right ways. The story and dialogue are as sharp as can be. And despite the fact that she doesn't talk, Chell might be one of my top female game characters. (Word of God apparently says because she's too obstinate and pissed off at these shennanigans.) Chell is a goddamn ninja and makes physics bend to her will, as apparent in the official Portal 2 Boots trailer.
In any case, more fun and games in the Enrichment Center, and some interesting history lessons on Aperture Science itself. Plus amazing gameplay and puzzles, and seriously guys, Valve knocked this one out of the park. Unless something mindblowing comes up, Portal 2 has my Game of the Year vote, and it'll be very hard to dislodge it from that spot.
Seriously, I want to go play it again. Just because. I could not stop grinning after I beat it. (There's also the amusing side effect of seeing surfaces at work and home and thinking "I could put a portal there.") I strongly encourage everyone to play these games. They're worth every penny.
(Next on the docket is finishing ME1 and DA1...at some point. I seem to have acquired Civilization V and there's still Portal 2 co-op...)
