Well, I have an interesting audio interview for you today. It’s with Randolph Turpin who recently became a mini-Internet sensation when his son posted videos of him playing Portal for the first time.
Poll Question 218 – How do you feel about Portal 2?
Portal 2 is soon to be released and whilst PP doesn’t really focus on it, I am sure a lot of readers will buy and play it.
However, others might be less worried. This week’s poll question is to gauge PP readers’ feelings.

Poll Question 217 – Would you like Episode Three to include co-op gameplay?
With all the talk about Portal 2 and its co-op feature, finding a first play-through buddy etc, it got me thinking about whether co-op will become the new black.
I believe Valve won’t include it in Ep3 simply because it’s popular in one game, but it might encourage other developers to try it.

R.I.P. Jasper
It is with great sadness that I announce that Jasper, an active member of the PP community, died on Monday. I am sure I speak for all my readers when I wish his wife and family our deepest sympathies.
Jasper was always interested in helping visitors to the site and I feel honoured that we managed to work together on some other projects.
I know that the maps and mods he found here brought him great pleasure.
When I started this site, I never thought that I would be posting anything like this, but that shows how much a community we have become. His contributions to the site, with reviews, message, ideas etc will be missed.
Please use this post to pass on any messgaes, although under the circumstances, I don’t know if they will be seen by his family. I am sure they have more important things to think about than a gaming website.
Comments on this post will be heavily moderated.
Rest In Peace Jasper.

Poll Question 216 – Has Source modding peaked?
I hate it when two poll questions appear on the site without other posts in between.
A lull in releases is always frustrating but recently things have been pretty bad.
I know I have one or two maps still to post and hundreds to update, but let’s be honest we want “new”, “big” and “beautiful” and those are few and far between.

Poll Question 215 – What would you most hate to happen in Episode Three?
Loosely inspired by this SteamPowered thread, this poll allows you to enter three answers.
To be honest, I only checked the first post of that thread and haven’t had time to read the replies.
Anyway, please vote and also comment if you feel strongly enough or there isn’t something listed.

Poll Question 214 – When there is a lull in mod releases, do you replay older mods or try new games and demos?
Let’s be honest, this year and for a lot of the end of last year, there wasn’t much to play, with regard to mods. I’ve taken the time to work on other projects, but if I were “just” a player I wonder what I would do. When I say just, I mean not having to run websites – no offence meant!

Aetherfor Half-Life 2: Episode Two
You find yourself in a barn, with the objective of getting some Combine plans and then getting back again. “Easy in, Easy out”, as people like to say. But of course, it’s never that way. “Difficult In, even more difficult out”.
Good luck and be sure to really explore, you may find some hidden weapon caches!
