Everybody should know about last year's critically acclaimed Portal by now, and if you don't, then just get the HELL out of our Internet and let the real people interact with each other, okay? Now that we've separated the human beings from the wretched failures, it's time for us to talk. Gather close, sit ye down and listen to the word of righteousness.
Portal 2 has been confirmed by Valve.
Now, as the collective semen of a thousand excited gamers launches through the air like a liquid volley of silken arrows, I must remind you that any idiot could have seen this coming a mile away -- Valve already talked of more Portal, and the first one was too successful to not be continued. This is the first solid confirmation of an official Portal 2, however, as specified by lead designer Kimberly Swift.
The world now holds its breath for further details, but knowing Valve, most of us will be dead of oxygen deprivation to the brain before we hear more. Until then, rejoice! The twisted world of Aperture Science looks set to suck us in once again, and we couldn't be happier.

Exciting news indeed!
IT'S A GREAT DAY TO BE ALIVE!!!!!
(no pun intended)
Will be waiting to see where they take the storyline. Hope they find a way to fit GLaDOS back into the mix...or maybe an EVIL(ER) TWIN GLADOS!!!!
The ideas you propose make me week in the knees.
@Valve
Make this happen
Much like Valve, I would like to reveal a new product that takes an already fantastic concept and makes it +1 better.
I call it...
Boobs +.
Any interested venture capitalists wanna get in on the ground floor?
I can't say I didn't see it coming, but it is nice knowing it's official.
Are they going to freeze Chell for twenty years, then have her show up on a train and randomly run into the companion cube, who's all "hey, I'm secretly trying to infiltrate the GLAdoS Thingy in City 17?
It'll make total sense, and everybody will be all, OMG! NO WAI, and then people will be all "WAI!" and then it'll make lots of awards.
Stupid HL 2 story.
My guess is yes.
Also, ZOMG!?!?!
or an expansion pack where your just solving new puzzles back in the lab
or something else entirely
cant wait to find out more
also, cocks.
This is why I look forward to just about everything Jim Sterling writes/says...his cunning combination of wit and the English language almost always result in resounding lulz.
MY GREAT GRANDCHILDREN ARE GOING TO LOVE THIS GAME!!
fapfapfap
BUT NOW ITS CONFIRMED!!!
fap fap faaaaaaaaaap
cream...
Jim, have my babies.
Still, we knew it was coming. Eventually. :)
Don't over saturate a good thing.
This line should be in the Dtoid Hall of Fame...Epic Jim simply Epic
A beautiful, disturbing, hilarious image. Thank you, Jim.
Seriously, I hope they actually produce a 50-60 level puzzle game like the superior "Flash Portal" and not just a lame-o rehash of the first one.
Also, I'd like to see the difficulty for the puzzles increased about 100-fold. I think a lobotomized chimp could have finished the first Portal. If it took you longer than 3 hours to finish portal, I think you should hand in your controller and follow the companion cube down the incinerator.
The problem I had with portal was the side stuff, or the lack of. Sure, make the main story short and "cute" but make some stuff to do afterwards. You are completely done with everything Portal offers in 3 hours. That's not worth my money.
