Indeed, and they seem to have added another clue for the portal ARG going on with the underlined letters in the announcement.

It's probably a username for Aperturescience.com.

Which also has a webcam of a room with the companion cube currently!

That site always worked with the cjohnson thing. Unless they changed it to allow that new hint. Might work with the bbs instead.

I will have to check what people have to say. I mean, people who are actually trying to solve the puzzle. =p

Wait, holiday season?

This is probably going to be a LOT bigger than Portal. It's interesting how the sequel is a major release announced nine months before launch when the first one was just an experimental extra game in a bundle.

Hopefully they capture some lightning in the next bottle, or people are going to feel betrayed. People got pretty intense about Portal.

It felt a bit like a movie in which two stoners try to steal a military helicopter

Unlike most other modern games, you have to think at least a little bit to play it.

It's got genuinly challenging puzzles, that work based on a mechanic not really seen before in games. Plus its got some mystery surrounding the narrative, and a pretty decent way of telling it.

Also its pretty damn funny in parts.

Dang. Beat me to it.

I noticed something odd about the announcement and figured it had to be a cipher as well.

User: Dr. Attmann
Password: h0nee

Or if you want to use all underlines

Use www.steamgames.com as a password.

Let's try and look for other anagrams within it. Or maybe even assign numbers to the letters or something. There could be more to it.

EDIT:
Wow. Lotta candidates that could work.

I can barely contain the excitement, I might explode in a flurry of innards!

Portal really captured my mind, I wonder if they are going to link it in with the half life universe more this time round.

It's obviously anagram for Dr Manhattan, which leaves us with 0ee.
