(I got it from orange box with hl2, so I may be wrong)

The HL2 orange box is / was a pretty awesome deal.

$20 bucks for orange box is a hard yes. My wife ordered it for me on the sly and I married her two months later. When you know, you know.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Jaysus yes. It's so fucking good. Portal 2 is so fucking good.

Best logic/puzzle game ever.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Echoing the above..I want to say;  I never played it again after I beat it.  It was worth every penny for a one time playthrough. It;s sitting in my tray and if I could trade games I don;t have copies to I;d give it to anyone who was interested.

-It;s that good.

It's okay to have a brain. 

And Steam can't get their server going. I've been trying for a while now. Air strike in five.

Portal 2 is one of the best games ever. VERY satisfying game, like really deeply satisfying. Best ending ever, too!
