JK Simmons should be in more stuff.

" Looks awesome and hilarious. The writing is great, Wheatley is not annoying, nobody is "trying too hard" (the new "jumping the shark"). "

A writer cramping like a dozen so-so jokes that feel like they're straight out of a Pixar movie into a segment that's a couple of minutes long is the exact sort of thing the expressions "annoying" and "trying too hard" were created for. It's like he sat there thinking: "Well, if I throw this many jokes in there, at least one of them must stick!" "

I am really amazed at the eye movements with Wheatley. For a giant eyeball-looking thing, the little guy's really expressive.

I didn't really care too much for the first Portal, but I have to say that this is looking mighty good :)

J.K. Simmonds compels me to buy this game!

Considering about half of the video was a mash up, and the other bit was the very start of the game, I'd say your being a bit narrow-sighted. "
