When I still listened to my iPod, I put the short (many, 2 or 3 seconds) voice clips in my shuffle playlist, and I loved just hearing are you still there? and the like in between songs.

Sometimes, I even had the itch to listen to the voice clips all the way through. It was like replaying the game in my head.

Am I alone in this? Please tell me I’m not crazy!

When Marc Laidlaw posted Epistle 3, commonly read as the plot he intended for Half-Life 2: Episode 3, he included references to events which were happening within Aperture during the Seven Hour War. He described scientists attempting to prevent the Combine forces from taking the Borealis, the research ship that was constructed in the drydock in Old Aperture.

I think this plot point might make for an interesting game. Imagine GLaDOS commanding an army of portal-gun-wielding robots to defend the enrichment center from waves of alien commandoes. The game could be a hybrid between Portal's puzzles and Half-Life's combat. What do you all think?

I’m happy for another place to post Portal related stuff. Hope everyone enjoys this place too.
