We were lucky enough to be out at Valve just over a week ago, and while I went on a massive hunt for the Half-Life 2: Episode 3 team, they tricked me and I fell into a portal landing in, you guessed it, the Portal 2 room.

Suffice to say, like all Valve products, I just couldn't say no and got down and dirty with the game.

After that, I also had a chance to chat to Jeep Barnett who served as a programmer on the game, but he was also part of the original team who worked on the Portal idea before it was even picked up by Valve, so the guy knows a thing or two about portals.

Moral of the story is, click here to check out my interview with him, and as usual we've served it up as an embedded videa atop a full transcript with a HD streaming option. Damn we're good to you people.
