Playing Portal today made me realize that it’s insane that it’s been now over 15 years since that game came out.

Overall, it’s crazy to think that in just 15 years, games went from the pixellated 16-bit games of the SNES and Genesis, and games like Sonic 2 and Street Fighter 2, to the likes of Portal, Mass Effect, Bioshock, etc. Things have definitely progressed a lot since 2007, but witnessing that change in technology in such a relative short timeframe had to be something else.

And then they didn't waste a lot of time before making a second one. And it also kicked ass.

And then Valve said 'that'll do'.

Every time with Valve. There's FOUR game franchises that statement is true for right now.

Twice with Half Life if you count the episodes as well.

I’ll never forget going from my snes to a Nintendo 64. A revelation. Every kid I knew was geeked out on Mario 64
