- it will be more solid than episode 1 in terms of overall length and the friendly ai being a gang of tanks

- it will be slightly more open ended, which for this series will be a revelation and quite possibly a curse

- the new weapon will fail to be completely bonerriffic

- driving! lots of driving!

- the hunter will become the hunted

- it will not be available to play after 12:01 tonight because the steam servers will continue to get rocked

- portal; aka the little tech demo that could, will go on to be a model of diy candoittiveness or sticktoittiveness or whatever the term should be; as a game it will be kinda ehh like most indie stuff, but still, really neat idea.

- The game now has third-person cutscenes with cool slowmo effects so that they can work that Dog vs. Mini-strider scene into the game.

- More (red) blood than previous

- there will be at least one elaborate setpiece involving two pieces of large timber crushing a hunter

I just pray to Bethesda that Episode 2 is longer than Episode 1. I remember putting a frozen pizza in the oven before starting up Episode 1, only to have finished the damn game five minutes before my pizza was ready.

It's a good thing I got that game for free, or I would of been pretty angry.

Yay, Episode 2 is longer, and Portal is pretty fun.

I may need to wait until I get a better video card/psu before I finish Portal though. With how choppy it's running now, I doubt I'll be able to accurately complete puzzles that have you creating Portals mid flight.
