Portal (& probably Portal 2 at some point [plus an ARG!])

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

Sticking this in PC gen since as far as I am aware the console versions didn't get the new achievement.

So it seems Valve are running an ARG for either the sequel to Portal or Ep3 or Orange Box 2 or Portal crossing over with HL or something.

Yesterday an update for Portal was released that added a new achievement "Transmission Received" (see bottom of list here (http://steamcommunity.com/stats/Portal/achievements)). Now there are 26 radios spread around the levels that you have to find, and then take to another spot in the level to receive a message, either in morse code or data.

Basically some of these could be converted to image files (http://i49.tinypic.com/s4b7zn.jpg) or other messages.

A full rundown here (http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1170872).

A current theory is since GLaDOS is in version 3.11, and Gabe Newell is receiving an award on March 11th, there will be an announcement about a new game then.

Version 3.11 of WHAT?!

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

Somewhere amongst the data files it mentioned her version number as 3.11.

Unless you're asking what she actually is.

She is a like a robot A.I. thingy.

[Spudzilla]

Yes, I have played Portal.

Maybe it's a Windows reference. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_3.11)

[Spudzilla]

I miss 3.1

For Spud's benefit, we're now talking about an old OS.

OS is short for operating system.

Wow they sucked all that information from just one achievement in Portal.

Like, at a hospital?

Exactly!

New patch for portal. New ending video. HL2:episode 3 will probably have portals... which I thought was already evident from all the Aperture stuff in episode 2.

There's a new Portal ending video? Do you have to find all the radio spots to get it?
I just played through Portal the day before the patch. How irritating >_<

Thank you for assuming the party escort submission position.

You have to play in on a new save, so just load the last level in the console. You don't need the radio achievement.

I guess this means P2 will be a sequel and not a prequel.

Interesting. The big reveal will be at E3, it seems:

Can't wait! Wonder how they're gonna build on the original?
By the way is Half Life: Ep3 still in the pipeline? I'm starting to wonder if it's turning into vapourware :(
