Where Portal came from, how the "tutorial" levels (a large part of the game) are a masterclass in teaching the player how to think with portals, and the subtle writing that makes the game so memorable.

In two weeks, we will conclude our discussion of Portal and announce the next game!

The conclusion of our discussion about A Link to the Past covers Turtle Rock, Ganon's Tower, and our overall thoughts on the game.

The next episode will be in two weeks, and will begin our discussion of Portal.  As the game is short, we will all have played through the whole thing, but our discussion in the first episode will primarily cover everything before Chapter 19.

A reminder that you can always follow us for updates on our twitter.

We discuss the item designs in Link to the Past, the overworld navigation post-Titan's Mitt, and three Dark World dungeons: Thieves' Town, Ice Palace, and Misery Mire.

The next episode will be in two weeks, and will cover the remainder of the game.

Finally, for those who have not already seen on our twitter, we announced our next game!

Portal is currently available on Steam for only $0.99, if you grab it before Wednesday!  No reason not to grab it now, and join us in playing it as soon as we're done with Link to the Past.
