Valve has released a new infomercial-style trailer forPortal 2, as it attempts to sell us the Aperture Science turret (available in a variety of tasteful styles). As awesome as the video is, it brings with it a major downside -- I wish they were actually selling the things.
Portal 2 is out April 19 in North America, April 21 in Europe. I'm pretty stoked for it.
Not quite as stoked as I'd be for an actual Portal turret, though. That would be hot.

Does anybody out here know anything about Valve's hidden ARG (alternate reality game)? Supposedly there are 2 hidden messages obtained from still pictures in this exact video. I have no clue what people are talking about but it sounds like a virtual scavenger hunt of sorts that leads to who knows what?
Saw this earlier this morning, I thought the same thing. Just a little one to put on top of a cabinet drawer or something and it would tell you what time it is in a cute lil' voice.
This gaming is going to be balls to the moon on a cranked tuna fish car awesome, but I'm still worried that I'm going to wish that I rented it instead pre-ordering it months in advance
The Ar game will end with disappointment. You know why? Cause it s not going to be EP 3. It's never happening. The cake was a lie? Pfffft. The game was a lie you bastards. Not bitter at all.
Thanks man. I'm not a PC gamer so it looks like I will be spectating, but this kind of stuff totally intrigues me and I think Valve is awesome for giving us such an elaborate teaser.
Although I'm betting it will be over-rated as hell but I really can't wait to play it.
Although Duke Nukem Forever will stay my automatic GOTY 2011. No I shit you not.

They are some secret number codes who mention some Facepunch forums users and the guy in the Picture it's Geoff Keighley.
