I agree that Portal 1 & 2 is an exception; they did take an interesting game mechanic and develop a good game around it. But my argument still stands. For me, Portal still wasn't a title that pushed the envelope significantly for Valve - you may agree or disagree.
Look, I'm not gonna bullshit...
Yeah, this is it. I don't hate Valve. Far from it. I really like the company. I'm just expressing disappointment. I also sincerely hope that their next-gen stuff will shut me up, slap me across the face and say "Yeah, we're still trying to push the boundaries here." I expect this from Valve...

I nearly choked on my food when I came across this thread. Jesus holy christ, please, please, pleeeeaaase do a good job of 'enhancing' my favourite games of all time. This is unbelievable.

In full agreement with this article. To be honest, I couldn't really stand having Alyx 'tagging along' in Episode 1. Don't get me wrong, Valve made a very, very solid effort to make her more than just an 'AI companion,' but unfortunately, that's exactly what she was. Her off hand comments and...
Have you experienced this in any other games recently? These weird looking artifacts that you're seeing could be a result of your system overheating. Make sure your GPU/CPU isn't too hot. If they are, make use of a vacuum etc.
