*Spoiler Warning* If you plan on playing Valve's Portal and would like to be surprised DO NOT read any further.

It's Saturday and that means it's time to chill out, relax and unwind from the work week. Unless you're a guy who likes to play video games. To me Saturday is a day of work. I get up early so I can get as much play time in before I actually have

something to do. Working full time and enjoying a 4 hour a day commute doesn't exactly leave a lot of disposable time for gaminess but I make do. Sometime I even finish a game, this happened last week with Valve's Portal. A game that was only about 6 hours long but the ending made it all worthwhile, a rare occurrence these days.

In recent years game endings have kind of taken a backseat to massive in-game cut scenes. So I must say that it was refreshing to see an ending that was creative, clever, funny and most of all very very cute. I liked the ending of Portal so much, that I'm going to share it with you.

The only context you need is that the Lab's computer goes all Hal and then tries to kill you. So you destroy it, there good enough? We now join our regularly scheduled program already in progress.
