Grey box

[Sky Ninja]

I'm seeing the grey box with the heart in the middle everywhere. Most recent is on Edge's avatar. Where is it from, and what does it meanm?

It's a crucial element to your success surviving the impossible, of course!

Go play The Orange Box. Specifically Portal.

It's a crucial element to your success surviving the impossible, of course!

And you must take a big care of it. It will be your best friend, as it won't stab you from back.

Companion cube wins it.

And to think that the Companion Cube came about as a part of game design! They wanted to make sure the player would carry it throughout the level and not just leave it behind, so they made GLaDOS talk about it a whole bunch and they put a heart decal on the sides of the box. I find that to be pretty funny. Really, I think more people should listen to the developer commentary of that game.

Though, personally, I just left the Companion Cube on the button in the dark room after activating the first lift - I didn't use it to activate the other two.

How I'd kill to be able to run Orange Box on my PC.

My friend can run Half Life 2 on his Geforce MX 420, 64MB. He also has a Sempron 3100+ and 1.25GB of RAM. The game runs full speed in 800x600 with all settings ('cept antialiasing, his card doesn't support it, for some reason...) at full speed.

But we don't know about Portal, which is the game we REALLY want to try. Can't get the damn thing to work. Explained some other topic.

I've heard of the game. Never played it. I haven't seen it at stores.

I think there are better packages, but it's a little more pricey. I got the one package of 10 or so games for 50 U.S. Dollars.

Damn. They put 10 games in that?
