Portal 2 walkthrough with commentary; Chell screenshots
A Youtube user uploaded a Portal 2 playthrough, edited down to the developer commentary portions. Above is part one. (The paint/gel mechanics are derived from a student game called Tag: the Power of Paint. Very interesting to listen to how the designers "train" the players as they play through the game.)
And speaking of Portal, here's some Chell screenshots:

Erik Wolpaw to play, speak about Portal 2
Sure hope this is going to be posted online:
Next Thursday, May 5th, the Game Center will be hosting a lecture by Erik Wolpaw. Erik Wolpaw is a video game writer currently working at Valve Software who has earned numerous awards for his work. He has contributed to well-known games such as Half-Life and Psychonauts and his work on the Portal series is widely considered to be a high-water mark of game writing and interactive storytelling. Before becoming a game developer, Erik was an influential game critic and humorist. As one of the co-founders of the legendary site Old Man Murray, he illuminated the absurdities of video games and video game culture with a thermonuclear wit.Via.
The format for the evening will be a brief guided play-through of Portal 2 with Erik, followed by an interview and general discussion moderated by Game Center Interim Director Frank Lantz. The audience is encouraged to join the discussion. Please bring questions about Portal, game writing, criticism, narrative and the overall subject of games in general.
The talk will begin at 7:00 PM at 721 Broadway, Room 006 and is open to students, faculty, and the general public. We welcome everyone, whether your research and teaching is related to games or you are simply curious about this rapidly evolving field. Please come, and feel free to bring any interested NYU colleagues.
And speaking of Portal, here's a cool screenshot:
