I honestly cannot get into Portal. I played it when it came out and by no means will I attempt to refute its status as a highly innovative and groundbreaking game. I think it's an AMAZING experience and one of those milestone titles in gaming history. I just hate what Portal's fans have done to it.

I cannot enjoy the game because of how played out and exhausted its memes and iconography has become. The Glados voice, the companion cube, the blue/orange ovals, the Aperture Science logo, that goddamned "Still Alive" song, and holy hell... the thing with the cake. I hear it and it just annoys me to no end. Catchphrase humor is the absolute worst kind there is, and usually there comes a time when a catchphrase gets so overused (e.g. "Get R Done") that people just drop it by means of social scolding. That doesn't happen with video game culture so these things (and Skyrim's "arrow to the knee" bit, among others) just keep going and going and going.

Anyways, it's sullied a once good game to me.

IIIIIII agree with you.

Although honestly, I also just don't really find the games that enjoyable. Half-life is okay. Portal is a game where I can admit that there's a lot of merit, even though I don't really enjoy it. I've never been much of a PC gamer though.

I hate Team Fortress 2, however. Hate. I don't understand what anyone finds so amusing about the characters and their 'wacky' accents.
