uk.gear.ign.com/articles/116/1163325p1.htmlThe console itself is reportedly as big as the original 360. The screens in the controllers were said to be 6 or so inches, so I wouldn't be surprised if they turned also turned out to be pretty massive. This also means they are somewhat unlikely to be motion controllers, which is probably a good thing. Each of the controller screens is a touch screen, and capable of streaming games to each controller, though given the power of the system, could also feasibly provide a virtualized console for each individual unit. As shown in the example above it can also do things like displaying the split screen of a splitscreen game to each individual's controller, perhaps to prevent cheating? Will retail for 350-400 bucks, apparently. Built with a tri-core processor similar to the X360, but with higher clock speeds. Still reportedly out-performs even the PS3. May support stereoscopic 3D sometime down the line. Earliest possible retail release also reportedly anywhere between mid-October and early November but that honestly sounds far too early unless Nintendo has been sitting on this secret for the past year or so. There have also already been rumours that the new Nintendo console will be home to at least one game from both the GTA and Eternal Darkness series

I think there is a slight misunderstanding here, Blue and Orange are the only colours you use because they are the only colours portals can be as defined in your roster. My point isn't really related to the stylistic decision of picking a theme colour for a character, it's related to this: It specifically says he can use different combinations of many colours, however it's always two and always the same two. This just doesn't seem particularly "creative" and would be yet another way to avoid the accusation of "every post involves you doing exactly the same thing".

This is a pretty damn good character concept and also the art looks nice, although you may find it gets annoying to draw over and over again ;)
My one complaint is that I thought he was a girl until I read the text

What also lacks creativity: Throwing explosions at people at every post Fine, your power is to explode things, but there are loads of ways you can use this to attack people which aren't just making them personally explode all the time i.imgur.com/3cwue.pngYou can make explosoins in all forms of matter, why are you not doing that? You also use the same two colours all the time. Also the undocumented power to snap your arms back on (even if ripping them off was also a bit of a dick move considering you can't reattach them)

Yeah, while it's still praise I guess maybe it's not quite the massive compliment it sounds like. I'd not rate Episode One that highly in the first place. Two was very nice but I guess maybe I've always preferred the style of Portal to Half Life anyway, even if they are possibly set in the same universe.
The close confines of the Enrichment Centre and the dearth of characters help me engage more with the story than the wider environment and cast of Half Life. It's all very well that all these terrible things are happening to people far away, but in Portal it all feels much more personal. I like Half Life, but I have a closer connection to GLaDOS and Whealey than Kleiner and Alyx.
And besides that, Valve have learned a lot about storytelling and setbuilding since they made Episode two. There were a lot of nice vista scenes in Half Life and the scenery looked nice, but the amount of work they've put into the Enrichment Centre in Portal 2 is unreal. The whole place looks alive in a way that the stark mountains and concrete cities of Half Life never did. Hopefully they will in Episode three, but they haven't before.

I strongly disagree, the script is masterful, and add to that the opinion that there actually isn't any aspect at all upon which it does not improve on the original
Portal 2 is longer, better looking, funnier, more interesting, has coop and GLADoS's new song is better than "Still Alive" It is the best sequel I could have asked for

I dearly hope everyone 1.20 (question 20 on part 1) as "yes". Otherwise you're all dirty liars. (at least, those of you with human or vaguely human characters - no calling your character that's a blatant human "not a human/humanoid" just so you can get out of this) Why would we all answer that question as yes? That's a pretty silly thing to say. Loads of people's character's look pretty human but aren't human. One of mine is a distinct seperate species, and both could well count as other species being from some other dimension. Rety must be some kind of other species because humans don't have ropes for arms. Malice clearly isn't a human, nor is Balto, Osart, the Demon Twins, Spike or even 2/3 of your own characters, yet they all looks very close. The question is not "does your character have special powers" but "does your character not have any normal weaknesses for their species", and in the vast majority of cases the answer is no. People are still vulnerable to being stabbed, punched, burned or cut into bits. The unnatural durability is from suspension of disbelief and a feature of the setting, rather than the characters themselves. If everyone was exactly as breakable as a real person, this would be a very boring website. The damage resistance is not actually a superpower owned by most of the characters.

Because exploding generally = boom, while Glace's fire-ice = melee weapons And regardless, the main point was why I would comment on a direct attack against my character to be awesome. I was commenting simply from a "that was epic" perspective. I'm not Spike, so why would I be concerned about him having his spine (possibly) broken in half? Making the distinction between user and character is important... Because it was just a cheap joke post and now we've spent five more posts arguing about really unimportant technicalities and it's not funny any more.

How is a chunk of frozen fire an exploding knife? How is a sharp object that makes fire similar to an exploding knife HMMMMMM

Names don't have to have a special meaning, any girls name you like the sound of will do just fine To be honest I tend to prefer names that don't say anything about the powers of the character most of the time because it's just ridiculous that they would be called that Like who names their child "Fireball"? And then the fact that they happen to gain fire based powers later is purely a coincidence. It's pretty silly is what I am saying. They could always have changed their name after the fact, or could just be acting under a false name like Superman, but if it's like a name and a surname it just takes a bit of suspension of disbelief.
Which is also pretty hypocritical of me considering some characters I have made before and one I am considering adding to my roster but it's only everyone else who isn't allowed to be a hypocrite.

Personally I'd prefer if you didn't write all your dialogue in Spanish as you seem to be implying that you will, it just means I'll have to read a google translator mangled version every time you post something ):
