VotD: Portal “Still Alive” Typography

Portal has received plenty of praise since its release last year, thanks to brilliant writing, engaging puzzles, deadly humor, and an absolutely innovative use of FPS technique. It’s also the perfect length: long enough to fulfill your gaming itch, yet short enough to prevent repetition and boredom, and allow players ample time to bake Portal cakes, download Jonathan Coulton songs, and mourn their Weighted Companion Cube. One of the best uses of this free time: Trickster’s “Still Alive” typography, found on Vimeo and viewable below. This was a triumph.
