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:
The Valve store sells Aperture Science tank tops, but no orange jumpsuits.
Portal fan art, Aperture logos, Ratman's lair wallpaper

Wedding proposal by video game character
Kotaku:
Ben reached out to Gearbox a while back, mentioning that when he and Tora first started dating, he had to give her "the gamer talk," in which he explained his hobby and the fact it might make him incommunicative and emotionally unavailable for hours at a time. Tora's response: "I love Borderlands! Let's play!"The video's very funny.

Funny Portal 2 moment, Portal 2 in third person
If you go back after escaping Wheatley's first trap, he tries very hard to convince you to jump into the pit. Sounds like there's some great stuff down there.
Also, here's two videos showing Portal 2 in third-person (fyi, there's a childish, leering moment late in the second video, but it's otherwise very cool):
And while I'm at it, here's the every end of Portal 1 in third person:

Tetris in heaven
A recent funny xkcd strip featured Tetris in heaven. The concept has already been turned into a game you can play in your browser. As you can see, every so often, you get the perfect piece.

6. Destructoid's review of Portal 2:
Portal 2 is, without a doubt, one of the best games ever made. It's a game that not only seamlessly blends puzzle and adventure elements together, but makes a name for itself as a true "comedy" game, where witty dialog and laugh-out-loud concepts have been given an equal billing with the gameplay itself. It's funny, it's challenging, it's inventive, and it boasts memorable moments that will stick in your mind and make your hair stand on end every time you think about them.7. Seriously, even if you don't like playing games, you should watch the single and multiplayer campaigns.

A high-res screencap of P-Nut's appearance in the single player campaign.
High-res screencap of Wheatley.
Valve added several new Portal t-shirts and posters to their store, including three turret moon.
