Thank you for that. It was really well done. I hope he makes more. I liked the music. i’ve been playing with FL Studio a lot recently. It’s amazing what you can do with it. ---

The metre seemed off in a few places, but it’s good despite that. ---

Very nice. I really should play that game some day. It so weird that I know absolutely all about it, without having ever seen even a gameplay video 😕 ---

I like that they used Gordon Frohman as the singer. ---

Ooh I really enjoyed that! Catchy song and clever lyrics. And the voice in the chorus sorta reminds me of Cyndi Lauper! Plus, of course, the video is well done, too. I don’t remember Chell being that pretty, though, even as little as I was able to view her by fiddling with the portal mirror effect. Wonder if they did some editing of her model? **muldoonthief** , heh … that guy will always be Frohman to me, too! Actually, I was surprised by the excellent synching of the voice and character’s mouth. I didn’t know that was possible to do (except for the game’s developers). Garry’s Mod has that capability? **Kobal2** , omg, you _have_ to play it! _Portal_ is utterly fabulous. Gameplay is great, the writing and performances are even better. Plus: cake! ---
