There is a significant change to this game. Replay it. NOW.

In case you haven't picked up on it yet, this is part of what seems to be an ARG of some type. A recap on everything that has happened so far is on the Steam forums.

Even after having not played the game in over a year, I still remembered all the puzzle solutions/tricks. But the Radios are a nice addition. There were a few tricky ones.

Apparently the ending has been changed! It's already on Youtube but I'm waiting till I get home to see it in game.

I watched it on you-tube because I do not actually have the game (although I have beaten it multiple times on my brothers steam account). Is that a male sounding GlaDos? The back up? I do not know.

Given the wording, it's likely it's got some close connection to glados; since the bit where glados used it was built up from previous 'conversations' it doesn't seem reasonable that someone else would use the term out of the blue, even if it was a prior backup of glados herself. In other news, if anyone finished portal and found it a bit easy (I'm looking at you, Edison) go give the free mod Portal Prelude a try: www.portalprelude.com/It's decently polished, and the difficulty ramps up pretty well from the end of Portal. A lot of the stuff they teach you in the original gets used in actual puzzles in the mod.

It's just a party associate, guys! There's nothing to be worried about, we're just going to the party!
"Place the device on the ground, then lie on your stomach with your arms at your sides. A party associate will arrive shortly to collect you for your party. Make no further attempt to leave the testing area. Assume the party escort submission position, or you will miss the party."

Also, Portal Prelude is, in my opinion, harder than a puzzle game should ever be.

Yeah, I played a bit of Prelude before I got stuck. It was pretty damn tough.

I beat it eventually. A couple of the rooms took me hours. Well, over one hour at least.

So, I bet the massive ARG will lead to a random building. The answer is obviously to show up, with all our most valuable possessions, and assume the party submission position until the party associates show up and take our stuff and us to the party. Of course, we can go on the second trip after all our stuff is delivered, right?

"Leaked?" Printed in a magazine counts as "leaked?"

It is from a magazine (Game Informer) issue that wasn't due to ship for a week or so, I believe. Some guys got their hands on one (presumably in the office) and scanned the portal pages to get the news out early. So, yeah, is is leaked.
