Did IQs just drop sharply while I was away?
I think I know why I got confused. I thought they were tearing the guy apart who said Portal on PS3, but really, it's just supposed to be the fanboy frenzy after hearing the news because they are FANBOYS while the informer sits just off-frame grinning.

Bearing in mind that the cockney voice is not comrpessed or mastered, I highly doubt it's the voice which will be included in the game and is most likely placeholder / guide dialogue and will either be replaced with decent voice acting, or heavily pitch-corrected and modulated like GLaDos or both.

That still doesn't make sense. Why would the fans be attacking each other over that?

"Wheatley's casual British accent heard in the Portal 2 demo at E3 2010 is actually a placeholder voice provided by Valve animator Richard Lord. However, due to very positive feedback, Valve is considering making the voice official." -- (

They don't seem to fighting each other, just screaming/going nuts.

Those aren't happy faces. Those aren't happy faces at all.

Jesus, ZB, I mean screaming/going nuts in an angry fashion. Fanboy ranting.

That struck me as a quote from somewhere. Damned if I know where though.
Aaanyway definitely sounded like a Thomas the Tank Engine v/o if moved to London and not as good. Where do I register my disapproval?
Otherwise the environments and animations are nuts. Seems like they really let the designers off the chain this tme around. Looks great.

So who are they angry at?

It just gives you some perspective.
Not that your pic was very accurate, as no one is raging over this and 90% of people who care about Portal probably have PS3 anyway.
