Episode Two Portal Trailer
I didn't mean to create another blog about Half Life, but this video was too cool to pass up. Valve released a video that showcases a new first person shooter element called Portal that will be introduced in the upcoming HL2: Episode 2 game. Portal allows you to enter one area and come out the other.
Portal is a new type of single player game that changes how players approach, manipulate, and surmise the possibilities of any given environment in a manner similar to how the Gravity Gun changed our approach to how an object may be leveraged in any given situation.
You might be thinking, "Didn't Prey have this feature before?". Technically no, since apparently Valve hired the team from Nuclear Monkey Software who created a game with this feature back in 2005. Besides that, didn't The Twilight Zone feature this concept in Little Girl Lost?

How did you find this? Through the news section of Steam? Cool video though. Opens up a lot more possibilities in the Half-Life universe now.
In the Wiki link for Little Girl Lost, it said this:
Disney's Twilight Zone Tower of Terror has a wall in the basement area of the tower in which you can hear crying and a little girl calling for help along with the sound of wind and the feeling of air being blown at you from the wall.
I never noticed this but will take the time to look next time I'm visiting DCA. Or I wonder if this is a Florida only easter egg?
Leave it to the creative minds of the Imagineers to create something so cool. Hopefully it's at DCA and not WDW like you said. I want to hear the horrified cries of the weeping girl...
You gotta love Wikipedia, they have such awesome trivia tidbits...
"Matheson wrote the short story based on a real-life incident involving his young daughter, who fell off her bed while asleep and rolled against a wall. Despite hearing her daughter’s cries for help, Matheson’s wife was initially unable to locate her daughter."
BTW, I found this on a VoodooExtreme link. Everybody loves the trailer and can't wait for E2!
Voodoo Extreme? Don't those people know that 3DFX is dead? ;)
dang you guys for making me want to go to dga and see if it's there or not!
i can wait... i can wait darn it!
maybe...
Krudd, go check it out and let us know if it's actually at DCA! It won't kill you to visit the park once and while!
yes it will.
