I don’t like spoiling people’s enjoyment of games, especially when the game in question is Valve’s Portal. This is a game that really requires a whole afternoon’s uninterrupted game time to appreciate it’s sheer brilliance. So if you haven’t played Portal yet, stop reading this post and go play it. Otherwise prepare yourself for a little spoiler.

There is a song at the end of the game! Ok, not much of a spoiler to be honest. The existence of this highly amusing song been plastered all over the internet since the game’s release. However, some kind soul at topazstorm.com has recently turned the song (called Still Alive and written by Jonathan Coulton), into sheet music which can you find here.

Speaking of Jonathan Coulton, his website contains lots of his other music which is worth checking out. I especially like “Re Your Brains” which has the following chorus:

All we want to do is eat your brains
We’re not unreasonable, I mean, no one’s gonna eat your eyes
All we want to do is eat your brains
We’re at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise:
If you open up the doors
We’ll all come inside and eat your brains

We’ll be reviewing Portal when we manage to stop ourselves from playing it.
