…Is pretty damn awesome. I’m not going to talk about it, most of you probably already played it.

What I would like to know is why Valve decided to include a teaser for some unrelated movie coming out some time in the future. Of course they got paid off to do it, but it feels like this doesn’t belong in the game at all, even if it’s in the extras section.

Also, I’ve heard there’s people complaining about the cash shop similar to the one we all know and love (heh) from TF2. Come on, this isn’t half as bad as the mann shop back there, you can’t even buy items in Portal 2 that influence the gameplay in any way. ‘Course, even with me deciding I won’t spend any money on it, I’d still like to have some of those custom gestures.

Oh, and I’m also really glad that they’ve decided to keep the spraytag system in co-op. It’s something I’ve been really enjoying ever since HL2 came out.

The newest TF2 update is called The Hatless Update. There’s no new hats in it! That is if you don’t count the update before it which was exclusively hats. Ah, just joking, at least Valve noticed they were focusing too much on the wrong things.

Meanwhile there’s rumors Portal 2 may be coming out very early – like 7 hours from the time of this post early.

Nine minute video of Portal 2′s coop over here. Not that new but I didn’t have much time for things lately. The first half of this month was and still is hectic, so I’ll be taking another short pause while I keep falling down all these exams.

Valve’s put up a couple of Portal 2 gameplay vids on their official youtube channel. This isn’t news if you’ve seen E3, but it’s nice to see everything in glorious HD.

The polycount contest has ended, and there’s some rather nice entries in there. A few of the posters are down though, it’s never a good idea to use imageshack as an image host when your site’s about to get bombarded by a whole userbase. Anyway the contest winners will be announced on the 12th of July, though Valve will probably have to take a break from all the judgin’ before actually implementing the new weapons.

Valve announced no Portal 2 at E3 a few days ago or so, but I thought I already posted an article on it. Apparently the surprise is P2-themed, but the surprise is the fact that P2 gets delayed. Don’t worry, they’ll make it better. Cheers for the link, Odin.

Meanwhile, I’ve been making a small python script that reads your spray directory and cycles your active spray randomly from them. Okay, this may not have any real use to most of you but I felt like doing it. Might upload it later on as .exe and source if people ask for it.

EDIT: Oh, blog update. White earphones means nothing interesting will happen.

Isn’t it a bit counterproductive to only have a few items pop up every time the item cap resets every late wednesday? This new item drop idea did stop most idlers from idling (for some fucked up reason people still do it), but I feel that people that care more about items and hats will stop playing for the rest of the week after they’re certain they hit the item cap.

Valve also announced that Portal 2 won’t be at E3 this year, but they do have a surprise in store for us. It’s probably that Midnight Riders DLC for L4D2 that was hinted at a while ago.

As for me, I’ll just be right here getting stressed out by upcoming exams.
