It has computers and machines and a radio and friends working with cogs and wires. And all of that destruction is in service of a good laugh.īrendan: Like the secret back room where heists are planned in Thirty Flights of Loving, there's a hideout here too. By the time Portal 2 begins, Chell has apparently been in stasis for around 27 years, longer than I've ever lived in a single place, but her ‘home' is wrecked within minutes of awakening. Or at least I don't.Īnd that's why I probably enjoy watching Portal 2's introductory domestic demolition. Six month leases seem long when you sign them, but when you find yourself preparing to move on and don't even have to repack all those still-packed boxes, you don't really think of those places as ‘home'.
