Can I just say how excited I am for Valve's upcoming Portal (Tom's link). After Tom recently posted it, I've watched the trailer over and over, downloaded the predicessor Narbacular Drop, watched the NB speed runs, and have already begun plotting Deathmatch strategy for when the portal gun gets integrated into a future game.

It's great to see a flair of mind-numbing originality like that in a game these days. This game will bring me back into PC gaming since I quit after Half Life 1 and Deus Ex. Portal will be my only reason to upgrade to a top of the line gaming machine from my current Athlon C 1.4 GHz which serves me just fine. Heck, I actually want to get GOOD at Portal.

Just had to vent that... and watch the trailer again.
