I loved every moment of Portal 2, this post confuses me.
I was going to reply but I feel that I should at least try and finish it first.
I am burnt out there's no question about it and this may be twisting my opinion on the game. There's always the chance at the end I could turn around and go GOTY!
Rez, I have no idea what my ideal game is. These days I seem to focus on the annoying negative side of whatever it is I'm playing over the enjoyable aspects.

Had a shit week leading up to when you started Portal 2? Would certainly explain your reaction. That or you had sky high expectations that nothing could have lived up to.evlcookie said:

The week was shitty but i don't think that would explain my lack of new pants requirement over portal 2. I had no expectations going in and i thought portal 1 was entertaining but not new pants worthy either.

Nope and we are, Although it's late so not a lot is going on.
OK, time for something completely different.
Apparently, there is an 'undisputed' statistic flying around the United Kingdom at the moment that 'Six out of Ten Australians wish to get rid of the Preferential Voting system and want to switch to the First Past the Post System'.
What say you, fellow AusGAFers? What do you think about our voting system?
Edit: Seems this stat is taken from the Australian Institute of Public Affairs - Voting Report from October 2010 (Page 10)

Just finished Portal 2. Amazing. And they somehow got Nolan North in there.
Easily Game of the Year for me. I see lots of good games this year but, for me, nothing will be able to surpass this/hyperbole
Only down spot
I'm going to have to stay away from games for a day. So good

having to load up the last two in-game vids (just before and just after the credits) on YouTube as they were mute in-game for me

Most guys have received it when shipped via Courier, and this includes the big KE and TE editions. So it seems Customs doesn't care as much as they claim to be.
It looks like it's just like with any other RC game. If you get caught (and it seems unlikely) you'll get a notice and not a fine.

The way the question is worded completely ignores the possibility of an optional preferential system, which we use at state level.
Personally I think a First Past the Post System would be disastrous long term since it would make it very difficult for any additional parties to get a foothold at all. I've seen Canadians on Reddit complaining about this, where 60% (ish) of voters vote for a left wing party, but none of them individually get enough votes to beat the conservative party. Under a preferential system this is less of a problem.
The problem is, most people view politics like football, they choose their favourite team at an early age, and then stick with them forever. So I wouldn't be surprised at people not caring about the plight of minor parties, but that particular survey is obviously weighted towards getting a result for FPP.
I would love to read an in depth opinion on why portal 2 was amazing, Does anyone know if one exists yet?
I don't mean a review but something a little more. I want to see which parts i disagree with or if it's just my disappointment in certain places that are more prominent in my opinion than they should be.

Bought some Creme eggs from the shop, one is currently in the freezer. This better be good!
It is a waste of time. You say "counters" like you expect an irrefutable argument to appear to make you realise you like a video game. It won't. You're not the first person to dislike a critically acclaimed game, and you won't be the last. I don't understand why people love the Uncharted series so much, but I don't let it bother me.evlcookie said:

well, you could just accept this is a game you're not into and screw the hive mind
I know I'm like that with certain games others go on about- TF2, WoW, FF
on the other hand P2 is:
- Polished shinier than the sun (apart from those pesky mute videos at the end)
- Well-acted script that unlike most attempts at humour in games, is incredibly funny (this depends if you found GlaDOS in P1 or Extras funny. Stephen Marchant is basically reprising his Agent role from Extras. Cave Johnson takes the piss out of Andrew Ryan in Bioshock. There's also a lot of subtly in both script and performances to be found as well as
-Like Portal but with more of it- this is probably more of an issue since many people are trying to blast through it so they can be party to the conversation. If you can get past that and play it at your own pace, you might get more out of it. I know I couldn't sit and play this in one sitting (or any game for that matter).
-oh so that's what all that shit about Potatoes was about.
-new stuff is worthwhile. the new gels gave the a new dimension game great and while some of the puzzles with
light tunnels
- that sense of achievement you get after beating a puzzle, particularly the harder ones is pretty powerful.

So best (cheapest, fastest) place to get MK? Also is it region locked on 360?

The thing about Valve games, Portal 2 in particular, is I never feel like I'm seeing the seams. I mean, I've played a lot of games, I can spot the tropes, but insofar as what I'm feeling on a moment-to-moment basis, it feels more like I'm reading a great book or watching a great movie. I'm not thinking "oh wow, they did a great job given their constraints", I'm thinking "this experience is a complete class act". Everything about the game, or at least every shining moments in the game, work BECAUSE of the medium, not in spite of it, and that's really valuable to me.

So I had a frozen Creme Egg, not that fussed about them really. The chocolate and the cream both tasted slightly better but not by much imo. Im not really a fan of Creme Eggs, but it's been a while so I hadn't confirmed it. All I get when I eat one is the taste of meh chocolate and sugary goo. Am I missing something?
