This is all part of Valve’s diabolical viral campaign for Portal 2, and it’s working like a charm for the studio. It also plays well into the fan community who love to rip apart game code from Valve releases to try and see where they’re going next.

I guess we’ll have to be patient little boys and girls until June’s E3 rolls up and we can see what delicious new challenges Valve have in store for us with Portal 2.
