I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

This comment on slashdot pretty much sums up my view on this. Stuff is cheaper over seas, people buy it. I can bet all the physical parts of the release (the packaging, manual, CD/DVD, etc) were made in some third world country at dirt cheap rates, and they have the audacity to deactivate copies of the game people bought from one of these countries? Absolutely ridiculous. Not only is it a douche move, it should be illegal.

You wont be disappointed. Tf2 is awesome, each class plays so differently and balanced that you wont get bored easily (plus it is highly addictive too lol). Portal is fun for the few hours it takes to beat, and still fun for a long time after. I couldn't tell you if hl2:ep2 is any good, but I've heard it is awesome :D

Well, I finally got unlazy enough to do a really slow go-through of the level.  I don't rush at all.  Seriously.  In fact, I even timed one of the GLaDOS speeches to repeat the word "Drugs" over and over at the end.  Oddly enough you only hear two of GLaDOS's speeches in the demo - Weird.

Here's the demo file: http://maide.ca/private/level15.dem .  You will need Portal installed to watch it. Place it in your Steam accounts Portal folder (DRIVEHERE:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\ACCOUNTNAMEHERE\portal\portal by default).  Start Portal, and in the developers console (Shortcut is ` or ~ by default) type: playdemo level15.dem . 

Just for fun, I'll show you my speed run: http://maide.ca/private/15_speed.dem .

This is impossible
I'm making a note here:
"DO NOT ATTEMPT"

It's hard to overstate
How hard this game is.

Aperture Science
The achievement cannot be unlocked.

It's far too hard for all of us
Except the ones who cheated.

And there's no sense trying
Any of the gold tests.
You just keep on trying
Till you collapse of stress,
And nothing gets done
And it runs out of fun
For the people who just want some points.

I'm getting so angry...
I don't even want to try 18.
Even though I want to get the achievement.

It just can't be done.
It's far too hard for words to describe.
I need to drink fifteen coffees
Before I put the disc in.

Now the least steps tests
Are a massive waste of time
And on Test Chamber 17
Try to get gold time!
I'm so glad that I learned
The achievement can't be earned
For the people who
just want some points.

Go ahead and try them.
I think I prefer to sleep with women...
Maybe you'll find someone else
To do them?
Maybe you'll succeed?
That was a joke! HAHA! FAT CHANCE!

Anyway I've given up.
It's making me have a stroke.

Look at me still talking
When there's other stuff to do!
When I payed £40,
I'm glad I got Team Fortress 2.

I've got to play Half-Life some more,
And find all the Lamba Cores,
For the people who just want some points.

And believe me I just want some points.
I'm playing Half-Life and I'm getting points.
I'm having fun and I'm getting points.
When you're seizing I'll be getting points.
And when you're dead I'll be still getting points.

Getting points.

(Getting points)

I laughed when I read this.  I am one of the few people to have the achievement.  :)
