Oh shit. Banksy is Stephen Merchant.

Was that Stephen Merchant?!? I thought this was a gag video at first with quotes from The Ricky Gervais show added.

yep it is and I think it really ruins the game for English people maby if they had applied some auto-tune / filters to it so it didn't just sound like Steve merchant doing a voice over through 60% of the game then it would have been ok.
I think they were looking for a "generic" English type person john clease typ thing and steve was the only one they could find lol.
I think most people will enjoy portal and think its utterly amazing. It is better than allot of games and is pretty polished , but at the same time i think it feels really dulled down as a game and although some of the puzzles and the mechanics available are really good , it missed allot of puzzles that would just be "fun" to do and certainly lacks puzzles that allow for th player to compleat them in multiple ways or in creative ways.
I think it suffers a tiny bit from consolitus ( no where near as bad as most games nowerdays)
What i don't understand as well is why the pc multipler is not set up in the same way as the CSS surf maps worked , where u could join into a server and play custom maps with a bunch of people that would be Realy good. i guess they wanted to do a split screen typ coop for console users.
im sure sum-one will mod it and it will evolve from there so that will be interesting to see

Didn't ruin it for me (an English person) becuase Wheatley is supposed to be a moron. Perfect voice for such a purpose.

Am I the only one who is seriously annoyed by the sounds Gervais makes when he sort of Laughs Out Loud?


Quite possibly. I think it's a great laugh.

It's how he laughs. In fact, it's that honest outburst type of laughter that makes me truly love him.
