The 2 public laws they referenced are, respectively, the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Maybe they're planning to have GlaDOS get access to nuclear weapons?

EDIT: looks like the official announcement is still playing with people. letters in it are randomly underlined. the countdown on the BBS is not done yet

soounds amaaazzzzzing

Quote:
Portal was a 'trial'. Size and assets specifically kept minimal. Had no idea it would be this popular.
- Portal was a 'test bed', Portal 2 is a 'game'.
- GlaDOS returns as the antagonist.
- Chell returns, and we play as her.
- Portal 2 takes place a long time after the original. Hundreds of years, in fact. The complex has overgrown.
- Those orbs seen at the end of Portal are personality orbs. They've cornered off sections of the labs as their own, and are concerned about the decaying state of the complex.
- Portal gun remains unchanged.
- Physics will now be part of portal puzzle solving. EG: A vent that sucks air in can be combined with a portal to 'suck' from a different location.
- "Paint" mechanic, various liquid substances that cause some reaction. For example, in the demo shown a orange substance on the floor caused Chell to be propelled upwards. Using portals you can apply these 'paints' to other areas of the level for puzzle solving.
- Reflection cubes will allow Chell to reflect lazers for various puzzles.
- The co-op campaign will have you playing as two bipedal robots. The like to hold hands.
- Splitscreen for people playing on the console, and 'picture in picture' available for those playing remote co-op (eg: PC). This allows you to easily communicate with the other player and combine efforts for puzzle solving.

no set time travel completely aside, Chell was probly put back into stasis. I mean Aperture Labs is still abandoned and overgrown, which seems to lend to the world never recovered from the Combine invasion and repopulated and reclaimed the ruins
