Still Loading #344: Portal w/ Andrew Kinsey and Pilisa Mackey

Still Loading Podcast

Portal is a triumph of a game and many a note has been written on it's huge success.

Ok enough of that. We are here this week to talk about Portal! The legendary first person puzzle game from Valve. I'm joined by returning guest to the show Andrew Kinsey from The EXP Point but we are ALSO joined by Pilisa Mackey, another EXP Point member and it is their first time on the show! We talk about how we all got into Portal, how the game teaches you to think in Portals, some history surrounding the game and how pervasive it was in gaming culture for a long time and still is to some extent. This one was a long time coming and I am so happy I finally covered Portal on the show!
