Yeah.... I understand that. Like, why call it Portal if it doesn't involve the Portal gun? That's the entire point. Honestly, I'm still confused as to why the robots are on the cover of the game. I am not all that enchanted by the robot designs (Atlas is okay, P-body is....weird.)

I think they did a good mix with allowing us to see the old 60's-80's facilities and learn all the backstory while still tying in to the main story. And I think Chell waking up hundreds of years later is pretty unsettling in itself.
