Just How Many Times Do We Need To Review Portal?

Post by 2000AD »

Can we plaese stop reviewing Portal by Grahan Kennedy please. Just when one review thread dies down, another pops up and we are reminded of the torture that is reading this drivel. We all agree that it is a pile of sh*t so why do we keep on making topics about it. If we keep bringing it up newbies will want to know why we hate it and read it, thus subjecting their minds to something they should not or, worse, giving them the GK view of ST vs SW !!!!!

HERE IS THE DEFINITIVE REVIEW OF PORTAL:

It is a pile of sh*t. Don't read it for fear of losing your mind!


PLEASE. NO MORE PORTAL REVIEW THREADS!!!!!!!!!! :evil:

Yes, but those involve reading the damned thing, and that's just hazardous for your health...

Anyone guess what SNL skit that's from?

There are some lessons to be learned by disecting Portal and trying to understand why it sucks so bad, but they really do not justify the risks associated with having some of GK's style rub off onto more serious writers. It is not worth reading.

People who are posting reviews of "Portal" nowadays are jsut stating the obvious. Almost all of us have heard of it, and, with the exception of DarkStar, we all d it and knew that is was poorly written, and heavily biased.
