Well, I kinda suck at competitive RTS, so my primary contribution in The Frozen Throne was "how quickly can a noob lose to a hero rush?"

And the answer to that was "pretty fast."

Portal's set in the same universe as Half-Life, so they already have many ways to explain time travel and other weirdness. This does make me a lot more interested, if only to see Earth's future, post-Combine, post-whatever else.

It's been far too long since I played the Half-Life series, but is time-travel ever really explained and used there? The scientific background features, obviously, and G-Man happily stops and steps in and out of time. But of course, maybe he could give Chell a lift.

Yeah, I think he probably could. I doubt that'd be the case.

She also could be cryogenically frozen. Or I guess something more advanced.

And I don't think Half-Life explains anything in any great detail. Just some vague stuff about how the original Black Mesa incident occurred and how the Combine arrived afterward.
