I decided to sort of write about Portal 2 this week, a game that fills me with anxiety largely because I think that the first game may be one that really doesn't require a sequel. However, a few words from the game's writer, Eric Wolpaw, about the importance of intimacy to the first game has me feeling better about the possibility for a follow up.
The notion of intimacy between the player and GLaDOS in Portal is actually my real topic though. Mostly I am simply proud of myself for having written a piece on Portal that never mentions cake or uses the phrase, "still alive," even once.
