Valve Announces Portal 2
eldavojohn writes "Enough rumors, Portal 2 is due out for 2010. Valve also let users know through an announcement on Steam. Game Informer seems to be the de facto provider of Portal 2 information so far. Prepare yourselves for more aperture science! Notice anything funny about the underlined letters in Steam's announcement?"
When I heard that one my first thought was that it was a nod to Red Dwarf.
But where do all the calculators go?
The underlined letters unscramble to "NA0A HATE NET DRM", which would be phonetically pronounced as "Now I hate net DRM".
One possibility, anyway.

World Net Daily says that they're trying to turn gamers into Socialists.
You are welcome on my lawn.
I don't know what I'm more surprised at, the clever way in which Valve announced Portal 2, or how quickly their obscure puzzle was crowd sourced and solved. Heck, I only noticed the achievement a view days ago, and now we have unencrypted images from sound bytes in the game. I wonder what would happen if Valve left a little teaser challenge: cure cancer and we'll give you episode 3.
Oh sweet they're announcing a new sequel to Koyaanisqatsi too, done by valve? Wild.
For every problem, there is at least one solution that is simple, neat, and wrong.
I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS
Man post as AC to imply he is so smart portal was a breeze.

Actually, I think I'll just masturbate.
Although to be fair, Chell never talks in Portal because there is nobody to talk to.
Except the Weighted Companion Cube.
Well, the yellowcake was a lie...

Dr. Attmann honey...
Okay, who is doctor Attmann and who at Valve is in love with him or her? Using Google, I found various people with a last name of Attmann and a doctor's degree, most of them at German universities. I think this is a clue that Portal 2 will be playing at a German university.
Man, I'm good at this ARG stuff.
