Anime Body Type Scale
Traditional body type scales allow choice through the following type of image:
Here at MRHP we promote the following anime version of this scale as not only does it promote a more ludicrous sense of the female form, but it also manages to be a more aesthetically pleasing version also.
Where would you like to be positioned on this scale? We opted for the saiyan-esque 0.
Why Finnish People Shouldn't Eat Liquorice
Now I wouldn't suppose to stereotype one nation by claiming that they have an intolerance for liquorice, however this video speaks for itself. This guy should not eat liquorice especially not Skipper's pipe liquorice. I do like his curtains though.
Robert Bunsen Bangs Paris Hilton
Fellatio and anal, air and gas, just like the bunsen burner, that's how Robert Bunsen and his divine invention the Bunsen Burner, his way into showing off to the ladies, a real chick magnet of a device does his bachelor pad justice at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
Important looking people in white lab coats, scientists dresses and plaid suits have found bits of Bunsen's 200 hundred year old body in Parish Hilton's vaginal canals. One of Egypt's top archaeologist was quoted as having said,
Paris Hilton's antiquity sites are being looted by scientists like Robert Bunsen,who have found her interior so exciting and sexy like cacodyl derivatives. Sir Isaac Newton's book Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy was also found inside her along with Thomas Edison's calcium tungstate fluoroscopy screens....
Paris Hilton has not denied that a sex video may surface in the future...

Muslamic Ray Guns
The whinings of a bigot and racist are put to a very catchy tune in this video. End all forms of racism and prejudice, we are all human beings; nationalities, and religious affiliations are fleeting, they won't stand the test of time. So for now have a laugh at the racist and his intolerance and watch out for his Muslamic ray guns.
Nintendo 3DS: An Ashens Ramble-thon
After sifting through a variety of Nintendo 3DS reviews we discovered that one of the best reviews is in fact a ramble. At this point we would not only promote you watching the following video from tech-gent Ashens, but also beg you to consider delving into his reviews of a variety of different tat. Here at MRHP we would like to give two grubby thumbs up to Ashens and his consistent dissections of stuff you generally find in pieces dumped in a local skip.
Poltergeist Caught On Camera
This ghostly footage has been doing the rounds on the internet recently. Thirty-four year old Lisa Manning from Coventry claims that her house is haunted by an evil specter. The family dog has already mysteriously died and light switches, drawers, and doors are constantly switching on and off and opening and closing. A priest has already performed an exorcism in the house, but warned the occupants they should leave nonetheless. Furthermore, a medium claims that the house is a portal that evil spirits are using to get into this world.
So decide for yourself is it a ghost or a poltergeist, or is there someone on the floor with a piece of string? I am going with String theory.

Can Homosexuals Play Football too?
There's not much to say, thanks to the homophobia that has hung over the game like an iron curtain.
Until now...
This month Anton Hyséna left-sided midfielder openly came out as a gay footballer, he plays in Swedish fourth division. The only other footballer who has came out as gay was back in 1990 with Justin Fashanu, who eventually hanged himself, eight years later after been shunned by the footballing world. Let's hope the football world has changed 20 years later and that Anton Hysén does not suffer the same horrible fate as Justin Fashanu.
Comments from Vlatko Markovic, the head of the Croatian football federation suggest that football has not progressed much even in such countries that are considered to be a part of the developed world “as long as I’m president, there will be no gay players. Thank goodness only healthy people play football.”
On the other side of the curtain Mario Gomez German international and Bayern Munich's star striker urged gay players to come out and to break the last "taboo" "
We've got a gay vice-chancellor [Guido Westerwelle]; the Berlin mayor [Klaus Wowereit] is gay. So professional footballers should own up to their preference
On March 9, 2011,a TV programme called "Får även bögar spela fotboll?" ("Can homosexuals play football too?") was shown on TV4, with Anton the subject of it. Anton's father is former Liverpool defender and Swedish international Glenn Hysén. Anton coming out is the equivalent of say Nemanja Vidic's son coming out.
To celebrate and add to the momentum of Gomez urging gay footballers to come out, here are a series of photographs to celebrate gay footballers. We will start with a sexy photograph of the Italian football team, where recently a third division player claimed that he worked as a gigolo and had slept with many Series A players.
Jedward: Muppets or not?
Personally, MRHP cannot stand Jedward, it's nothing to do with their image it's nothing to do with the fact that most Irish people are innate begrudgers and cynics and we are falling prey to this age old vice. The reason is plain and simple, they are embarrassing and they are really, really irritating. The are like a a squeaky mouse shooting up and and down a high-pitched sine wave on ecstasy. Look at the following video just to see how annoying they can be.
I pray that Jed-mania or Jed-madness, whatever it is called get's old soon, and maybe they will revamp their image and attain success through some other facet of celebrity but their current personae just really irks me. Take a look at this next video, poor old Vincent Browne doesn't know how to deal with them.
Vincent Browne looks like he has spent the last 24 hours with 20 children with ADHD. For MRHP it's a no-brainer, pun most definitely intended that Jedward are a bunch of muppets. Throw them onto a TV show for kids, perfect but please please for the integrity of what it means to be Irish keep them away from real people.
Owl out.

Robot Unicorn Attack Movie!
This song becomes oxygen while Robot Unicorn Attack is on so it is no surprise to hear that Erasure singer Andy Bell who sings Always will score the movie which has identified Spike Jonze as the man to direct one of Adult Swim's most popular games (it has currently over 36 millions plays). The casting has yet to be released. If Keith Ledger was still alive we could only imagine he would relish the challenge of playing a gay unicorn.
With Spike Jonze attached to direct the project, we can only imagine that all of Holywood's A list will be lining up to audition. Personally I think it should be a musical. With these lyrics ringing through audiences words with magical harmony:
Open your eyes I see
Your eyes are open
Wear no disguise for me
Come into the open
When it's cold outside
Am I here in vain?
Hold on to the night
There will be no shame
Always
I wanna be with you
And make believe with you
And live in harmony harmony oh love
Melting the ice for me
Jump into the ocean
Hold back the tide I see
Your love in motion
When it's cold outside
Am I here in vain?
Hold on to the night
There will be no shame
Always
I wanna be with you
And make-believe with you
And live in harmony, harmony oh love
Always
I wanna be with you
And make-believe with you
And live in harmony, harmony oh love
When it's cold outside
Am I here in vain?
Hold on to the night
There will be no shame
Always
I wanna be with you
And make-believe with you
And live in harmony, harmony oh love
Always
I wanna be with you
And make-believe with you
And live in harmony, harmony oh love
OnLive: Cloud Gaming with Possibilities of Sunshine
This video depicts the opening sequence that is initiated when you activate the OnLive service. What Onlive offers is a cloud computing, game-on-demand medium for any user that has a fast enough internet connection. This service allows game content to be passed along the internet to end users on a variety of different OSes. The two ways in which the user can engage with this service is with either a direct download of the software or through using the OnLive Game System. This package is composed of a wireless controller and a console that is titled the"MicroConsole TV Adapter".
As depicted by its title it is a device that allows the OnLive soffware to run directly through your television. This type of cloud gaming has opened up a whole new realm of possibilities for the noob and the hardcore gamer alike. However, one of the major setbacks with this gaming client is that is recommends a 5 Mbit/s internet speed. Unfortunately as a mountain dweller in beautiful Ireland I am doing well to be able to even post on this blog, yet alone stream the latest next gen game. This is a definite space to watch and if you are running a fast enough internet connection I would highly recommend you testing it. Although it requires a credit card to create an account it does allow the gamer demo each game for a 30 minute period, after which you are opted to purchase the streaming licence if you desire to continue. This combined with the OnLive PlayPack that allows unlimited access to a plethora of streaming games for a nominal fee of $9.99 per month. The following video demonstrates the OnLive gaming experience a little further.
Hopefully work on this type of cloud gaming continues as high end gaming without the ludicrous hardware costs that we have grown accustomed to is most definitely an arousing offer. Everything to do with OnLive can be accessed from their site @ http://www.onlive.com/#1
Lady Gaga's Birthday Today How Will She Celebrate
Lady Gaga is 25 today, born on the 28th of March 1986, but how will the singing, dancing, fashionista celebrate her birthday. In the build up to her birthday on twitter she tweeted to all her fans that "The sweetest tweet! You are all the present I need in the world."
Okay so how exactly is she celebrating that's what you all came here to know, well rumor has it that she will be listening to an extended version of John Cage's 4' 33, the extended version lasts several hours. Once that is completed she will then meet with Bear Grylls and travel to Yosemite national park and begin a six hour trek in search of an Elk carcass and then boil the elks eye ball in a geyser. Once this has been accomplished she will return home and watch Stepbrothers, her favourite movie in the whole wide world. Then to cap off the day she is going to slide down 32 steps into a strawberry cheese-cake. Happy Birthday Lady Gaga have a great day and enjoy your festivities.

Neymar the Yellow Nemo!
So why out of the hundreds of Brazilians every year that are smooched in superlatives and compared to the high priest of the modern Brazilian game Ronalda, Zico and Pele by sensationalists is Neymer the real deal? Well for one he is already proven his ability on the world stage for his country in spectacular fashion. He has scored three goals out of his first three games for his country. And we expect him to keep his place for the next decade alongside Lucas and Ganso who according to the recently retired Ronaldo are 'the future of the green and gold' . Unlike most rising stars who are easily derailed by their desire of the cash cow that football's international marketing has rosied up the udders until they are bruised black by greed and the player are retired as young lambs feasted on by trainers and suits into the shadows of regret and digression. Neymar is not one of these vulnerable players, he has a strong personality, shown by his sentiments after the sacking of his manager which he was insinuated to be enzyme of:
It weighs very heavily on my conscience that Dorival has gone. For eight months he was practically my father. He cared for me, he gave me the chance to play and he gave me great joy. I liked Dorival a lot.
I was embarrassed (after the Atletico GO game). I was ashamed of coming home and seeing my mother cry, seeing my father cry - it was very tough.
[My mother] told me that I was not her son, that I was not the boy she had raised. She wanted the real Neymar back, she wanted Juninho back as I am called at home,
With his deep heartfelt reflection he is concerned with his continuing development and helping the team that has nourished him from childhood (although I am very critical of their selling 5% of his future sell on fees to an investment board, what kind of message does that send out to the fans and the player?) and not making the European money making move before he has developed and mastered fully his game in the yellow and green home heart beating shores.
Neymar is currently playing for Santos, he is a winner and will win whatever trophy comes into contention for Brazil or whatever top European club comes and impresses him with their ambition. Barcelona and Real Madrid seem to be the most likely destination besides the premature claims of the Chelsea camp of gossip mongers. He wants to win, he at the tender age of 18 has already won the 2010 Campeonato Paulista which is São Paulo's top professional football league.
With the changing times a new generation of skills come out of the green ocean. Neymar is a yellow Nemo, coming of age, his movement is much like that of the the Zambezi yellowfish whom swim in fast flowing water, and with their larger fins can manouvre in fast rapid moving water with poweful swimming motions, Neymar likewise is powerful and elegant, likes to play in big games, has no fear. Preys on defenders like the yellow fish preys on algae and insects. With the World Cup looming, to be held in Brazil in 2014. No doubt Neymer will be dueling with Messi, Fabregas and Ozil for his country's fate. Neymar is a classical Brazilian player intrinsically valuing stylish spectacle over efficiency, here is a reel of the poetry of Neymar.
Brazilian Boy Shot Five Times By The Police
The footage you are about to watch is real footage of a Brazilian boy who is shot at repeatedly by a police office, you can clearly see one of the bullets impacting his chest. Whether or not the extent of the damage was enough to seriously wound the child this kind of police brutality is totally unacceptable.

Pearl Jam's Frontman Eddie Vedder Makes Ukulele Album
Eddie Vedder frontman of Pearl Jam, has taken off his rock socks for some mellow ukelele sea breezes. The last person I saw play a ukulele was Spongebob Sqaurepants who illustrated it's quiet beautiful whimpers across its tender body.
It's a mouthwatering prospect if the beautiful sparse acoustics of Eddie Vedder's last venture on the soundtrack of Into The Wild is anything to go by.
The album is titled Ukulele Songs, it will have a medley of original songs and covers such as Mama and Papa's Dream a little Dream .
The album is penned to be released on May 30th 2010, the album is said to feature Cat Power and Glen Hansard of Once fame. While Eddie kicks off touring on June 15th. Until then here is The Everly Brother's Sleepless Nights which is also covered on the album.
The Spiciest Pepper In The World Kills An Old Man
Okay so maybe I exaggerated a little, it may not have killed Jamie Kocher but this guy is a seasoned chilli and pepper fanatic. The spiciness or hotness of a pepper is measured on the Scoville scale and it is rated by the amount of capsaicin that a particular food contains. Capsaicin targets chemoreceptor nerve endings in the skin and produces what is known as piquance or spiciness. Ordinary peppers like jalapeno peppers rate between 2,500-8,000 on the Scoville scale whereas the hottest and the one that the old man just ate weighs in at between 855,000 and 1,359,000. The hottest peppers in the world are known as the Naga Viper and the Naga Jolokia. Finally, remember that capsaicin is an oil based chemical so water does not help out, you need to take something like milk or yogurt to alleviate the pain.

What Is Reality?
The world around us is not what it seems, from quantum reality to holography, what is the true nature of reality?
Rainn Wilson from The Office murders Blitzen Trapper.
Rainn Wilson went backstage to meet the members of his favourite band Blitzen Trapper, what was to happen next, nobody could have guessed the scale of the tragedy to come. All the footage was captured of the murders by an unknown person or animal.
Apparently he kept saying things like 'who do you think you are... I've been on fucking NBC' to Blitzen band manager who told reporters afterwards that he had a psychopathic glint in his eyes while they chatted in the build up to the gig. Rainn went on stage with blood still on his face and went through a few Blitzen Trapper songs. The audience shocked started to Boo when they realised he had murdered their beloved Blitzen Trapper. Some of the more morbid elements in the crowd started to chant 'We wish you hadda killed that bitch that everyone hates...yeah Courtney Love instead not our beloved Blitzen' to which Rainn retorted 'But what do you mean I am Blitzen Trapper'
If Happiness Were a Hat
Like many of you I have strolled through many a department store. You may have noticed that when meandering through the hat section, a cloud of happiness and joy taints your vision and before you know it, you are gooning about with your companion trying on a selection of hatty all-sorts. The toffy-nosed chortling of the elderly ladies trying on hats next to you cause you to chuckle and gall and without warning you’re all fanning about with more and more hats and indulging in the millinery delights. But lo! Be warned I have discovered why hats make us feel so unexpectedly happy!
They have all been fitted with the following device that delivers extreme pain to the frowning model. Upon each dosage of pain a smile quickly ensues to prevent further pain caused by the frowning facial muscles. However since its creation in 2009, the Happiness Hat has undergone further modifications to supply pain on a less crude, more subconscious level and has subsequently been fitted to every at ever made! So next time you’re with your friends trying on hats, just ask yourself the question, why are we all so happy?

Confessions of a Fast Food Whore.
Uhg I feel sick, sick as Gary Coleman and Dustin Hoffman fucking each other in a skip full of leather couches, I lol'ed all the way to the basin, he was waiting for me NAKED Oh yeahhhhhhhh. I started singing Break on through to the other side.
I had some chicken nuggets, sucked them like a whore. Then the proposal, the indecent proposal, oh yeahhhhhhhhhhhh. One sex for one burger please. Sometimes I didn't say please I just said One sex.
Mr. Bennet was so odd a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice, that the experience of three and twenty years had been insufficient to make his wife understand his character. Her mind was less difficult to develop. She was a woman of mean understanding, little information, and uncertain temper. When she was discontented she fancied herself nervous. The business of her life was to get her daughters married; its solace was visiting and news.
I had a dream where I got finger fucked by a chips monsters and all the ice-cream in the world stole my boyfriend.
I danced.
Then I let out a scream, caught onto someone's ankle. Ate more burger. Shat. Talked shit.
"My kangaroo can look into your eye. " It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune and a kangaroo must be in want of a wife.
However little known the feelings or views of such a man or bear may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families or balloons that he is considered as the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters.
"Do not you want to know who has taken it?" cried his wife impatiently. "You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it."
This was invitation enough.
He yelled out at me for world peace, trampled on some dirtbags, dreamstuff. All for penance. The liqueur cannot tell me what to do, I confess I confess I am a silly little girl, I eat crap, yes so I am crap cos you are what you eat right? And I eat cock and burgers.
Duke Nukem Forever: From Vaporware to Almost There
Well for those of you not clued into the development history of Duke Nukem Forever I am going to start with a brief outline of its absurdly long development time. So far it only really stands as a multi award winning Vaporware product, that has been in production since its first announcement in April 1997 right up until an already delayed 2011 release. During the 12 year period between 1997 - 2009 3D Realms kept Duke Nukem Forever alive by feeding its fans various different promotional information. The downsizing of 3D Realms that occured in May of 2009 resulted in the loss of the games development team. This blow spoke with certainty that Duke Nukem Forever was destined to enter the gaming graveyard leaving a 12 year long series of false expectations in its wake.
However, we all know that even apparent death would not stop the Duke and riding bareback on the lawsuit between Take-Two Interactive and 3D Realms the Duke Nukem Forever project was resurrected. In 2009 Gearbox Software begun development of Duke Nukem Forever and amidst much expected skepticism the game has been finally made. The following demonstration of the game validates its existence and not only that it also looks damn sexy.
Originally the game was set for a May 6th international release, but this has just been stretched out to June 10th. Obviously there is still some slight polishing to be done and I guess this kind of waiting is fairly moderate in comparison to its previous developers severely protracted development schedule. Either way on first impressions this is Duke at his best and there are plenty of tasty references to Duke Nukem 3D throughout. This combined with the return of Jon St. John as the voice of the Duke makes this a must buy opiate of nostalgia.
So for fans and all you regular Johns we recommend you dust off your jetpack digits and get your misogyny-loving mits on a copy of Duke Nukem Forever when it comes out on June 10th (don't be surprised if there is another delay though). Until then, "hail to the king, baby!"
Study Claims That Sex Can Kill
A recent study conducted in the US has shown that sudden bursts of physical activity, for example sex, can lead to a significant increase in the risk of having a heart attack. Physical exertion like sex or jogging has, in particular just after such an activity has been found to increase the likelihood of a cardiac complication. But don't freak out yet, those who are healthy and get regular exercise and have a healthy balanced diet are significantly less likely to have a heart as a result of sex. The study did however find that taking a sample of 1000 people and looking at whether or not they had suffered a heart attack in the last year and correlating that with whether or not they were engaging in physical or sexual activity at the time found that between 1 and 2 cases were associated with such factors. So what does it all mean, well if your worried get up off your ass and start exercising more, the age old adage.
Luke 'Ming' Flanagan Quits Cannabis
The fat cats finally upped the pressure and the outspoken TD was forced into a corner where he had to give up his smoking habit. An Garda Siochana had informed Ming that as a member of the Dáil his claimed growing of cannabis could lead to some serious jail time and losing his place as a TD. “I’ve looked at my options, and I can continue to smoke and face a six month prison sentence and lose my seat in the Dáil or I can stop,” Mr Flanagan said. He continued by adding that, “It is not an ideal situation, but my wife and children are the most important people on the planet to me, and I don’t want my kids to witness the Garda calling to the house.” He has promised that he will still campaign for the legalisation of cannabis in the future. MRHP believes that Ming was forced into this decision and this archaic and ineffective law should be revoked as soon as possible. All hail Ming the merciless master of the universe, well not yet.
Tortoise Commits Arson
After investigating the burnt ruins of an apartment owned by the Halem family in New York a very unique culprit has been accused of the vicious arson. The fire not only destroyed the Halem family home, but also led to the death of a tortoise and a firefighter and three policemen were left suffering from severe smoke inhalation. The fire has been documented as having been started by a six-year-old African tortoise called Giovani. It seems that Giovani crawled out of his tank at some stage and knocked over the terrarium's heat lamp. This consequently led to a pile of art supplies igniting and within minutes the fire had spread throughout the entire apartment. Giovani silence only incriminates him further in this strange and bizarre serious of events.
Sex in the Suburbs 6: Girls Of My Dreams Part 2 (Enter the Friday)
It's late at night, it's late at night, it's Friday yeah Friday Friday Friday... the girl of my dreams, the girl on the billboard is far from me now, when I stare at period blood stain on the wall, all I can think of is cancer, down an alley running at me, anally penetrating me till my brains are an afterglow of burning red traffic light , siphoning the moonlight with red blotches of karma.
I pick up some meds on the way, my sister is in a good mood so she gives me a lot of them, she tells me the kids now call these things by nicknames such as school kippers and fruit horses. I get lucky with a girl who is hanging out outside the putrid Supermacs. She burbs into my tongue when I try French kiss her. The wear and tear of the night has pushed her red lipstick to her chin and all the way up to the North Pole of her forehead. Making her look like a clown who is wearing a reindeer costume. The thought of a clown reindeer makes me want to fuck her right there doggy style.
I bring the girl home, she undresses, I undresses, she whimpers, I whimpers, I turn the mirror around, she disappears, I turn the mirror again, she is back. I play the flute as a sexual mating call that tribes in Africa do. I learned the tune from one of those National Geographic channels. You always learn stuff from those channels, definitely worth the extra few euro .
A drunken, collapsed colony on the left side of my brain struggles to grasp the complexity of the condom thermoplastic, I am a couple of attempts away from saving a baby from surfacing on this earth, where the warmth of love is calcified by the coldness of our bodies, rubbing together like glaciers off the Atlantic drift. I straggle along the coast of her body, I feel like a heat waiting to unwrap globules of puss and melt her cortex.
Half my body feels like it has drifted from the prenatal spirit. Fuck I think-something feels weird, its almost like she didn't know how to fuck, then again drunk whores usually fuck badly, like if a pilot swallowed Charlie Sheen's penis and brain whole and stir fried them with a blot of mercury chutney and tried to fly over the Rocky mountains with one hand. Damn she looks hot, a bit like Rebecca Black.
She mumbles something about been 14 years old before laughing wickedly like she knows what this means, I tell her to shut the fuck up unless she wants me to fuck her mouth, she quickly changes her tone. Fuck that Yeats married a 14 year old you- think I care slut I think while I am on top of her and inside of her all at the same time, it is exhilarating, talk more bitch, I say. I realize this dirty bitch turns me on, she calls me a cunt, and I feel as hard as an intrusive, felsic, igneous rock.
High intensity palpations in erogenous zones, little desire to live into daylight, fuck daylight. Is she done, has she got her god damn precious orgasm yet? Fuck her I roll off and out of her, I don't care anymore, I've stopped enjoying it since I've come, so no longer will I dig my grave inside of her.
Graves, graves, Friday, fucking Friday, how much longer until God puts me out of this misery, maybe a molotov cocktail next Friday instead of the usual Mojito or Sex on the Beach, the Grim Reaper can fuck my butt hole until the beach runs red with my broken dreams.
Happy Birthday Houdini

The Doorway To Hell
The hole has been burning for over 35 years straight in Uzbekistan many of the locals believe it to be the gateway to hell.
Penguin on a Plane
Imagine being on a flight and just as you start to awkwardly doze you hear some tiny footsteps coming up the aisle. Initially you think it is a child of some sort, but soon after the squeaky voice of a SeaWorld keeper over the PA system informs you that the strange waddling is in fact coming from a penguin called Pete. Returning from a national science convention they the keepers decided that the flight home from San Francisco to San Diego would be an opportune time to allow Pete to go for a march and give a lecture regarding Pete and South American Magellan Penguins in general. Here at MRHP we give such activity a lot of respect and look forward to the day when lions will be roaming free on flights. Until then we have this footage of Pete the penguin to keep ourselves greased and ready.

Portal 2 - Let Valve Eat Cake
Shockingly it has been 4 years since I first got a nibble of Portal on the PS3. Since then it has become somewhat of a cult game and considered by many to be Valve's greatest achievement (which is saying a lot for a company which such a rep). The only issue I had with Portal is that the "packing game" nature of it left me starving for more of its splendor. It's obvious Valve knew they were on to a winner with this game and the large sales of The Orange Box were undoubtedly fueled by the presence of this game as part of their already epic package. I am aware that the short nature of the original Portal fits perfectly with its narrative and the experimental nature of the testing of the Portal Gun synchronises perfectly with Valve's testing of the game by means of attaching it to the Half Life 2 compilation and Team Fortress 2 (which they knew would sell).
Well four years on and we are now less than a month away from the release of the long awaited Portal 2. Valve have promised that the game has been refurbished with a new storyline, characters, gameplay mechanics, setting, soundtrack, co-op game mode and probably a whole other host of little surprises. Valve are generally not ones to release gaming fap and from the initial previews this game certainly looks far from it. A few key things have already gotten me very excited. One of the key ones of these is the addition of a robot called Wheatley (voiced by Stepehen Merchant). On top of this is Valve's promise that there will be 13000 lines of dialogue in the game (a definite + over the original Portal). What I am most excited about though is the co-op mode which with its four portal interface seems like a definite place for noobs and long-term Portal fans to rejoice and take their Portal experience to the next level. So from all of us here at MRHP (I'm gonna speak on behalf of everyone) make sure to get your cake covered mits all over a copy of Portal 2 from April 18th. As an extra note consider opting for the PS3 version as it will include a code to download the PC version of the game (WIN!).
