Portal 2: Perpetual Testing Initiative
Huh, no sooner do I get done writing about Portal 2 a year on and doing a re-review, than do I hear news about a new DLC arriving for it. That’s timed to perfection Valve…scarily so.

Time for short, quote-y news today. The PAX East event recently went down across the pond and, despite rumours that angry fan trouble was brewing, the Mass Effect panel went down like the first cool one after work.
