Portal – As Valve announced during EA’s Summer Showcase, the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 versions of Half-Life 2: Episode Two will be coming along with a new game called Portal. VALVe has taken the idea of portal technology that was featured in the recent game Prey and ran with it. After watching this trailer I realized that I’ve never been this excited for a puzzle game before. I’ve heard rumors about this game tying into the Half-Life series, but I haven’t found confirmation on it yet, so for now I’ll call it a puzzle game. Besides the awesome looking gameplay, it also looks like the Source Engine has been drastically updated with either better graphics or maybe motion blur. You can view the trailer here… (From HeadCrap Union & Gamespot)

I never thought that installing Linux would be so easy (after my fight with Gentoo).

• It recognized my wireless card (Intel 3945ABG) and let me connect to my router (unlike Vista Beta 2)
• After connecting to the internet, it immediately informed me of about 70 updates
• By typing 3 lines of code, my ATI x1400 videocard was working
  • sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx linux-686 (reboot)
  • sudo aticonfig –initial
  • sudo aticonfig –ovt=Xv (reboot)
• Automatically logs onto my wireless connection upon boot

This only took me about 45 minutes – I'm impressed.

Overall comments so far: I like it alot 8/10.

**Update: I am in love with this – so I will chronicle my forays into the Linux world.
