Hello gamers and thanks for tuning in to another episode of the Cartridge Club. If you are new to the Club I’ll quickly explain what we are. The Cartridge Club is a community of content creators and gamers of all generations. I am Sean (Player 1) and along with my brother Mark (Player 2) we host a monthly book club for gamers. We pick a game and invite everyone in the Club to play along and then select guests to come on this show and discuss the game everyone played. This show will contain heavy spoilers, you have been warned. Without further ado let’s meet our panel this month…

During the early stages of the testing, Chell is granted usage of the Handheld Portal Device (commonly referred to as the "portal gun"), a piece of equipment developed by Aperture Science that allows Chell to create portals that act as gates between each other, allowing Chell to quickly traverse areas or reach normally unreachable places.
