Portal 2 Co-op

[weldaSB]

I finally bought Portal 2 when it was on sale, and played through it. Imo one of the best games ever. I have a problem though. All of my friends are console gamers. I really want to play the co-op mission though. I tried the random player option, but got many different people like one that played through it many times and left me lost, and another that had to be like 12 and had cheats on before we got out of the elevators. I figured I could ask this community, the most mature online community I have ever seen, if anyone wanted to play Portal 2.

I would like to play with someone who has not played one co-op before, but is still good at portal.

I've been in much the same position as you. However, I'm currently on a system which can barely handle web browsing, let alone games.
What I'm saying is, if you don't find anyone between now and when I get a system (best case: a month, worst case: October), then game on. But if you get the chance before then, definitely go for it!

G'luck, man.

Thank You!
I hope you can get a new computer sooner rather than later for both our sake. I understand how you feel with a dated under performing computer, but there are ways to help alleviate that. Installing Linux would make your computer run flawlessly (or near flawlessly). If you want help, just PM me, as I have a lot of experience with Linux.

Woah woah woah! Lets back this truck up! Portal 2 works in a linux environment? Please point me to some info on this! :D

Nope, not yet. Portal 1 has a Linux beta, and portal 2 will eventually be ported to Linux. You can also run steam with wine. I currently dual boot winxp and mint and debian so I can play black mesa, portal 2,and other titles. I can't wait till it does work on Linux though, because loading anything on a software raid 0 is fast. I just said that I would give eriottosan some tips on how to install Linux and make his slow computer a bit faster. So back on topic: do you have portal 2 and have you played the coop? If so, please add me on steam, if not, would you add me anyway so I don't look like some noon with no friends? Please?

:D I do have the portal one and two! I have tried to play Portal 2.. and.. well my laptop can handle it fine, but my interwebs that my man is an entire different story. Feel free to send a friend request steam name is "MagikEh" :)

So, weldaSB, here's your choice: Someone with good interwebs, but a computer that can't play the damn thing, or someone with a computer that can play it, but with crap interwebs ...

Beggars can't be choosers, I guess ...

:P. And nah, I'm not gonna fuss around with Linux tbh - mainly because this system does what I need it to while I have my first year exams at uni, and I'd rather not risk anything. After they're done, perhaps.

Ok, I understand your choice, it is a big jump with finals coming up(mine are in 2 weeks), but if you ever would like to take the dive, just contact me. It would not be hard to setup a dual boot with windows, and I can promise at least a 20% speed boost, but likely more. Good luck on your finals!
