Weird. Valve recently announced that Stephen Merchant (yes, writing partner of Ricky Gervais and co-creator of The Office) will be voicing a character in Portal 2, and they’ve released a new gameplay video to prove it. He plays Wheatley, a floating eyeball droid type thing that acts as your companion through part of the game. I don’t know that this necessarily increases my anticipation for Portal 2 (it’s already pretty high), but I’m definitely not complaining either.
