Day made, mind blown: it's Portal in ASCII

Joe 'Cymon' Larson finally reveals his upcoming text-only indie 'de-make' of Valve's Portal, in ASCII (appropriately titled ASCIIpOrtal). If you're thinking "eh, I've already seen it done in Flash", or can't even fathom how exactly it'd work, get revved up: its "through the portal" view is properly mind-bendingly good stuff.

To say nothing of its simple little ♥ companion cube. [via Erin Robinson]

The first person to say "This was a triumph" gets a PUNCH IN THE FACE.

I'm making a note here - huge success. It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.

I suspect someone inserted extra pages in your copy of the ASCII standard.

@Seafnord: Yeah, but CP437pOrtal is a lot less catchy.
