Game: Portal
Author: Harry-UK
Started: July 20th 2010
Ended: August 10th 2010
Description: An experimental first-person-puzzler / shooter from Valve, the developers of critically acclaimed games such as the Half-Life series and Team Fortress 2. The game sees you (Chell) waking up in a prison-like environment whilst an A.I (artificial-intelligence) walks you through a series of tests involving the use of the A.S.H.P.D (Aperture-Science-Handheld-Portal-Device) or Portal-Gun for short. Taking place entirely in the labs of Aperture Science, the A.I, GlaDOS soon shows that she is not as autonomous as she once seemed...

Without further delay, here's my Let's Play series for the popular and incredibly fun game, Portal! Rest assured, when Portal 2 is released, I will be making an LP of that too!

This is hilariously brilliant and I kind of wish I'd just watched the video right away while everyone else was already telling you that.

I concur, this is excellent. You really know your way around this game, and the random voices added throughout are damned funny.

Thanks guys! :good:

Episode 2 is up!

Well, I can tell you that I lol'd.

One thing that bugged me was that the GLaDOS voice you put in there didn't have the same feel as the real her. It felt like it was too fast in its speech and the spaces in between felt a bit short. Other than that it was a damn good job on recreating GLaDOS.

Harry-UK · **Posted:** July 26th, 2010, 1:05 pm

Haha, yeah, it is actually my voice, but since mine is deeper than hers I'm raising the pitch and speed a little to try to make it sound right...I'll go back and have a better stab at it for Part 3.

There is a SLIGHTLY shorter shortcut you could have used in the room with the lifting stairs. Just put one portal in front of the lift, climb the stairs, wait for them to go down, pop open a second portal on the now lowered stairs, jump through, and bam. If you fiddle with it right, you can leap right to the end.

Then again, you DID show me several shortcuts I DIDN'T know, so kudos!

Good stuff, I love it!

You sir, have done a great job with this. Keep it up.

I will give this LP my seal of approval. (That means absolutely nothing since I have no special rank but maybe it makes you feel good or something)

Haha, thanks a lot guys and yeah, that does feel mighty good.

I watched the first episode, and I'm a little surprised that you made an LP of Portal work. Your editing really brings it all together.
However, I found that you ran through the game way too quickly. Showing off shortcuts is good, but I think there is (or was) opportunity to play through at a slower pace with a little more commentary.
Regardless, this is a pretty cool LP.

When you were flying and screaming, I think you actually managed to hit the same notes as the music.

'Twas beautiful.

This is pretty awesome! If you can keep the level of humor through the whole LP it's gonna be one of the best I've seen in a while!

Harry-UK · **Posted:** August 3rd, 2010, 8:46 pm

I'm glad you like it guys! As for it being a short LP, it's my first, so I kind of made it as a practice run to see what it is that you guys do and don't like for my future LP's. With that in mind, I'm hoping my next LP's will be even more enjoyable!

Sorry for the delay guys, I've been busy with other stuff lately; however, Part 4 is online!

TheAbsentMinded1 · **Posted:** August 5th, 2010, 10:03 pm

This is really good, can't wait to see what's next

QuantumCrayons · **Posted:** August 6th, 2010, 3:17 pm

I love you seriously.
I do echo what Mush Man said; this LP could have gone on for a bit longer in the end, but what you're doing is nice. Awaiting Part 5 here.

Harry-UK · **Posted:** August 6th, 2010, 9:14 pm

Thanks guys!

Unfortunately the final part will not be up for another week as I'm going on holiday tomorrow. 8-)

Quantum / Mush Man - This whole LP was more of a training exercise for myself as it's my first LP. I did it to find out what you guys do and don't like and to improve my own work.

Cya on Saturday! :good:

I've made this post before watching any of it, but..

Are you doing anything related to the now defunct Portal Alternate Reality Game? (Like figuring out what that sound is)?

Harry-UK · **Posted:** August 22nd, 2010, 11:18 pm

Sorry for the long delay guys! Finally got this one wrapped up though, and I'll be asking for it to moved to the Finished forum soon.

Thanks a lot for your comments and of course, for watching! I'll have another, better LP soon! 8-)

Nice ending. :good:

Rath-Dragonatrix · **Posted:** August 23rd, 2010, 2:31 am

Seriously, the ending was a damn nice surprise I didn't see coming. I predicted part of it, because it wouldn't make sense to do otherwise, but I didn't expect it to be done quite the way it did.
