| Gamer beware! I was once a plucky gamer, innocently avoiding Half-life in favor of games not related to counter-strike.
But then, I went and bought The Orange Box, and discovered that Portal was not only the only game that I felt like playing, it was an amazing first person puzzle-solver, and a hell of a lot more enjoyable than Myst.
I thought, you know, it's a fun game, and it wouldn't hurt to play it...and it's interesting that its story allegedly relates to Half-Life...and although HL2 and the expansions on the BOx are intriguing but my prejudices will hold...
Next thing I know, I'm downloading Half-Life.
I am Siirenias, and I am a gamer.

The Advanced maps were/are hard as hell though.

| Oh come on, Portal is NOT a Gateway game.
That's like saying drinking coke is Gateway suicide.
You just got hooked on the feeling that you MUST have MORE. This is a lie. You have to stave off your hunger for games, and then come back to it some time later. Trust me, it works. |

| Portal the gateway game? Hell no. Tetris is the gateway game.

| ...I read somewhere that there was someone who made a tetris game where the calmer you were the easier it was.
It would go faster when you were stressed out... and stuff.

So if you were stoned, would the game play its self for you?

| The game will play itself for you anyways. You'll just always lose.

| You have to hit start. So no. It doesn't play itself.
If it DID play itself it would be masturbating and that's a sin.

| Im pretty sure this forum itself could be considered a walking sin already... so what is wrong with adding another one to our list?
