    Like A Rat is hilarious. laugh.gif I think its my favorite one.
    I like the names of the progressive advanced chambers achievements (Cupcake, Fruitcake, Vanilla Crazy Cake) too. laugh.gif

    Hmmm, some of them sure look interesting, and quite tough.

    Anyone want to take bets on when FLO 200's it? biggrin.gif

    I like the fact they've added some new and different achievements as opposed to just using the same ones from the Orange Box. Tempts me in to getting it just that little bit more.

    Vanilla Crazy Cake used to be my nickname in high school, so I may have to get this just for that achievement.

    This will be a purchase for me. Since I'm too cheap to buy the Orange Box just yet, I will love me some Portal ak-shee-on.

    Is Anyone There? and Out of the Blue might be difficult for me since I'm not exactly a meticulous player.


    "Win a gold metal on a challenge map." Well, the spell check didn't catch it...

    So is Portal getting released as an arcade game? Thats pretty awesome news. Don't think I'll get it since I already have The Orange Box though. (And Im guessing it will be 1200MSP rolleyes.gif )

    When is this coming out? Should be lots of fun.

    laugh.gif I'll be working non-stop I can guarantee you that. I cannot wait. They look fairly easy in comparison to the original Portal achievements, with the absence of any achievements aimed at getting all gold. The only one that frightens me is the "Is Anyone There?" achievement. It could be quite tricky to evade EVERY turret in the original levels, who knows how the new challenges will end up. "Out of the Blue" looks like it might be annoying at first thought, but thinking about it, that could really make things difficult at times, depending on how long you actually have to use nothing but orange... Ah, I can't wait to figure out all new maps....
