Oh yeah, the turret. As soon as I saw him with his cute voice I instinctively picked him up. I also sorta walked him into the emancipation grid that came afterwards...
I don't know if I've mentioned my funniest quote yet. It's isn't really a quote, but more of a single word that just gave a good on my face: "Now just waddle on down to the elevator..." There are other parts which make me laugh more, but this one feels different. It's such a little comment, but it's both demeaning and funny (both because 'waddle' sounds funny and the mental image) which makes GLaDOS feel a bit more alive.
Midway through the game I checked through the achievements and found: Lunacy - that just happened. Seeing that I wondered what the achievement was for, but I guessed I should finish the campaign before searching for obscure stuff.
And then there was the ending. I saw the moon, thought back to the achievement's name (Luna is moon in some language; latin I'd guess) and thought to myself "no freaking way". I finished the game in nigh disbelieve that something that ludicrous was actually the solution.
Currently I've got this odd bug. Haven't looked in the steam forums yet for similar problems, but I can't seem to complete the co-op campaing. I played course 5 with one person, but when we reached chamber 5-5 it was getting time to stop. A day or two later I wanted to finish the game with another person, so we started at 5-5. Played the game, finished all chambers, but I didn't get the achievement. When I go back to the hub I see that 5-5 isn't completed. I replayed it from 5-4 with the second person to no avail.
I haven't had the time to play with person 1 yet. Perhaps that might solve the problem...
EDIT:
Moss? Seriously? That would be so awesome! Current voice actor does a good job as well of conveying the well-meant but in the end annoying stupidity that is Wheatley.
As long as it's without Chell I don't have a problem with it. Her chapter has been closed. I haven't finished the co-op mode yet, so perhaps they can continue the story from there.
Still, it's an incredibly amusing game. The music, settings and humour are excellent. Less freedom than its predecessor but the puzzles are of a different nature as well so you can't really compare them.
I actually find it funny how different yet similar both games are.
I liked Wheatley... in the beginning. After a while though he just becomes really annoying...
I haven't been able to finish co-op yet.; too busy with university stuff :(. Hopefully some time next week. Single player was really cool, with a pretty deep storyline. The writers really knew what they were doing, and the programmers knew how to translate it to a game. Awesome interactive experience.
I don't really have a lot to say about Portal 2. It's clever, funny and extremely well-paced. The only thing I find slightly disappointing is this: you don't have as much freedom placing the portals as you did in the first game. This webcomic is what I mean.
