(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.

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!
