Episode 562: Portal (Patreon)

When Valve released their incredible The Orange Box in 2007, an audience hungry for more Half-Life content had no idea the main attraction would end up being Portal: a mind-bending first-person puzzle game tied to an inventive and empowering new style of play. And after one brilliant sequel, this unique series left us forever—only to exist in the form of content found in other video games for the past decade-plus. On this episode of Retronauts, join Bob Mackey, Henry Gilbert, Jess O'Brien, and Diamond Feit as the crew assumes the party escort submission position and discusses a series that shone briefly, but brilliantly. The veracity of baked goods will be determined!
