> …he KILLS YOU! Wheatley tries to get you to jump in the pit promising there’s a Pony farm at the bottom. And a Boy Band! And they haven’t seen a woman in years! And much more additional hilarity. Here, if you missed it like I did on first run: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BcPJfWxYLc](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BcPJfWxYLc)

I always stuck around in most scenes until the NPC’s started repeating themselves. One of the most amusing parts of the area you mentioned, though is:

When you go back to that location after Wheatley has told you to “come back” (or if you just stand there after escaping the death trap, which is what I did), GladOS berates you for being stupid and going back.

Anybody playing on steam or PSN co-op? I’m sinjineer on PSN and sinjinerd on steam. The steam co-op seems different than the PS3, in the same living room, co-op game. So far I’ve played with 3 folks on steam. One was as clueless as I was. One was really helpful but I got kicked off the network. The third was an idiot.

I’m slow but eventually I figure stuff out. Poke me if you want to play. 🙂
