So yeah, what is with the countdown?
Please be an early release, there still is so much I must learn even with the ending spoiled.

I'm just guessing but I think it has something to do with this.

Read it. Some nice GLAdoS one-liners were in it. The way the story is told reminds me of LOST. Noticed how Lab Rat looks like Daniel Faraday?

I love the Lab Rat comic. It fits so well with the rest of the series, and the art is fantastic.

I didn't notice the similarities until I read this. If only Lost had a companion cube...

Speaking of the companion cube ... since when does the companion cube talk? The companion cube was in Portal to show how GLADOS thinks a friend defines as a mute object/slave in which used as a shield facing troubles ... I don't know about you all but I feel the comic wasn't portal-esque at all ... it lacked the spirit and felt like a cheap "epic" "philosophical" story about a kind gauedian who raises the chosen one (who never gives up ... OF COURSE SHE DOESNT GIVE UP! She's a game charachter who is immortal for having the gift of saving and loading her progress!).
Also, why can't Lab Rat just cancell the whole ecperiments of GLADOS? I mean he was able to actually modify the list of test subjects ... couln't he do more than that? The writers of the comic don't say so...
I hope the games story isn't cheap. Will Portal 2 become the second game sequel better than original like Monkey Island 2 was?
I do wonder what do those pills Lab Rat took do though ... and I'm curious to know what's wrong with Lab Rat's left eye?

I assumed the talking was a halucination, because of all the drugs. I always thought the cube showed how people can cling to inanimate objects as friends when no real people are around.

The comic was not as Portal-y as Portal, but it does give some backstory which did feel natural to me. As for the never giving up thing, the end of the original she prevented herself from dying in the fire like all the other test subjects, proving that she is more stubborn than the rest of them

Because... because... well, you win this round.

There are specific tests for the graphics cards themselves, and it passed every single one. How did I fail?
Either way remember there are plenty of options, and a few launch codes to help too if you have problems?

In about 10 minutes this game is mine...

EDIT: Make that 1 minute. The last two game computations just completed and bumped up the time.
