That is insane!

Word up on the oldness.

And it is not a mod, but a full game being developed by some of Valve's more recent acquisitions.

I must say I like the concept, but it looks repetitive to make a game only based on portals....

Well it is based off of portals and gravity. Nothing but a surreal puzzle game, and we know puzzles can be repetitive, just need to be harder with each stage.

Steeples scrape the sky, Praising God.
Everything here exists for God, is sacrificed to God.
For those who have nothing to sacrifice,
It can be a very heartless city indeed.

I've never played Episode 2, nor Portal or Team Fortress. But the flash version of Portal is kinda neat: http://portal.wecreatestuff.com/

Wow some people are so obsessed with portal they have overanalyzed it and found feminist undertones...

I absolutely loved "still alive" as a song and the VG cats flash adaptation was hilarious (even though I have never played Portal or Half life). I put it on repeat until my gf had to leave the room because it was too freaking annoying.

If you are interested enough in half life to be reading this thread, you've probably already seen or tried the mod to get the portal gun in a half life game, but here is a link anyway...

I posted that same clip in the General Gaming News Thread when it had just come out.

Ze article wrote:A psychoanalytic reading would likely conclude that the portal is an image of the female sex organs: oval and receptive, and also a metaphorical birth canal through which the protagonist is constantly being born into new trials.
Some people read too much into stuff that just happens to be.

I can imagine the design meeting in Valve's HQ: "Dude, lets make a game about a birth canal and giant vulvas flying around in space that you can jump through! That would rock."
