Did they just drop a hint that Portal 2 will have coop?


They pretty much just EXPLICITLY stated that Portal 2 will have co-op. I am PUMPED.

While I find it funny, I do feel the need to point out that you can use any mouse. Also Apple mice have been able to be configured to detect right-clicks for a while, though it is a bit crappy as the mice generally are. Anybody with a serious intent to game on a Mac will have a standard two-button mouse. </funkiller>

Steam available for Mac and what do they offer as a free sample? A game that relies on the use of two mouse buttons.
Bwahahahaha

I'm not even angry, but it's actually true Also, they're working on a Linux Steam client.

Heh, thanks for letting me know about Better Off Ted, great show!

And it turns out the Veridian Dynamics ads are suspiciously absent from the Sift, so i added one. They're a little hard to find though, embed is disabled on most of them.

Why do I get the feeling that working at Festo is a lot like working at Aperture Science?


I think it is more like Veridian Dynamics myself.

Dude, that's so annoying, the glare, it pains me. Also, does that mean that people behind the screen can see what you're doing? Does anyone consider the usefulness of the stuff they make?

As for the glasses, you are right, it would be difficult to focus both on the image plane, as well as the objects at a distance. One possibility would be to put an artificial aperture over the eye in order to create a "Maxwellian View". In other words, you can make the eye more like a perfect pinhole camera creating theoretically infinite depth of field. The only problem with that solution is that you lose a lot of light, and would need a very bright display (not to mention a very bright world, if you would also like to continue seeing that).

robocop looks pretty pissed about it as well.

the perspective is just flattened because the aperture is wide open, btw.
