So what do you plan on doing during day 1, what do you expect from this game?

Okay, I might as well say something.
Well, I think it'd be beneficial if we analyze Portal's characters.

There are very few characters, and apart from Wheatley and a turret, I wonder who could be Mafia.

The Space Core? Any other random core that appeared some time during the game...?

I don't really think that Mafia are cores, I think that glados is just trying use human test subjects pited against each other, the survivors will be promised cake... yadayadayada...

AFAIK Portal 2 had a lot more characters in the old (C)aperture Science labs...

So technically, it's a lose-lose game

Most likely yes, we all are pited against glados, so the chance of surviving without a portal gun is near 0 ;P

Talkin and votin. I expect it to be fun! I've never played portal so I am again clueless on this theme.

How awesome I was afraid the game wouldn't start for a while.
I am loving the flavor.

that list doesn't have some fun things that might be in the game like mantis men though.

I have two copies of Portal(not Portal 2) I can give away to anyone on Steam.
