JK Simmons was the best part of the Spider-Man movies, so I'm always happy to hear him in videogames.

Contrary to the general attitude of internet: it's very difficult to pass a value judgement on something that's your opinion. So no, it's not BAD, per se, it's not just for you. A wise man once said "Not every videogame needs to be for every person."

Nothing in this trailer is part of the game, so not watching this merely has you miss out on additional content.

the Portal 2 videos have all been excellent.  I like the isometric diagram views and the playful attitude.

J.K. Simmons is fantastic. This made me laugh out loud, it's a lot more amusing than his insurance commercials and this is just his voice.

I really dislike the British personality sphere they've been showing - I just don't find him amusing. Simmons however has me ready to go.

I think the single player will be just as important, they're just pushing the co-op because it's new.

Those "fun whacky nuckle-head " robots are starting to fuck me off. Are they replacing portals's subtle, clever and dark humour with nothing more than a bad laurel and hardy slapstick act???

 That's why I blackmailed a friend. I bought the two-pack pre-order and told a friend that I would give him the other license if he promised to only do his first playthrough of the co-op with me so I wouldn't end up with some random person bitching about how I was taking so long and showing me the solutions to puzzles and rushing me through and just ruining a fun experience.

Laughed so hard at the end when he said "That is not a panel. That's a crusher. We sell them too."

Yeah, I know. "Replacement" was a bad word to use. Should have said he was a great compliment to GlaDOS.

JK Simmons also wants you to get Farmers Insurance and buy M&M's, specifically the yellow/peanut ones.

From what I heard the single player will be about twice as long as Portal 1 ... and the Coop will be the same length but different levels.  
 
So even if you can't play the coop you will probably get your moneys worth. 
 
I think they just advertise the coop more because its "the new thing".

If J. Jonah Jameson is in the next Spiderman movie they better get J.K. Simmons again. He fuckin' nailed that role. One of the greatest living character actors.

The animators at Valve need to make longer cinematics. These are soo good! I'd love to see a 20 minute Left 4 Dead movie or even a feature length Half-Life movie.
