WHHHHHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Yes, can't wait.

Yeah, can't wait.

Also bought Black Mesa when it was on sale during Summer Holiday too bad it not compatible with Mac, but dev said they have a good chance of porting it

The mod is really enjoyable so far, I already recommend it

Black Mesa... *envy*

To be fair, I can't play Black Mesa yet because it is only for Window so far. The team said the engine they're currently using allows for port to both Mac and Linux, so keep your fingers crossed!

As for Portal Stories: Mel... I played about 1/3 of it so far... interesting game. Not quite as tight an experience as both official Portal games are, but still not too bad.

I have Portal 2 in my Xbox 360, not sure how I'll be able to download it...

You should convert to the PC Master Race o-o

Of course, guess why I have problems with looking for games for Xbox 360, the games I want are either for PC, or are much better in PC.

In PC you can download addons, mods, extentions, even creating them with tweaking the game. Endless posibilities with PC!

I play more on my Mac than on my console for the past 5 years. Am I slowly turning myself into PC Gaming Master Race?

Nah. I just don't have the opportunity nor the interests to buy a Wii U... yet.

As for Portal Stories: Mel... I finished it. Liked it? Yeah. But it is not as good nor tight nor interesting as the main Portal campaign. I had better experience playing the Workshop pieces on Portal 2, such as:

- Portal Era
- 12 Angry Tests
- Cosmogony
- The Lone Future Starter
- the ever popular and perhaps the best and better companion piece to main Portal campaign, Designed for Danger!
- not to mention several individual pieces that offer challenging puzzles without being too obtrusive with its difficulties.

I give Portal Stories: Mel a score of 8.4 / 10 for being an interesting addition to the Portal mythology, even if it somewhat bogged down by its extreme difficulties in some of puzzles, not very tight of an experience, a simple and average story that started and ended so damn interesting yet unable to fulfilled its own lofty ambitions.

I'm still not done with it- and have to use walkthroughs. I still think it's great but also the hardest Portal "thing" I ever encountered, and I already have 166 hours of Portal 2+ user chambers playtime. (Lone Future Starter is awesome)
