I could go on and on introducing this E3 video of Portal 2 and the introduction of the lovable Wheatley, but that would just be more words between you and the video itself.

The video was played behind closed doors at E3 2010. There should be more on the way. British accents make everything better.

Developed by Valve Software, Portal 2 is scheduled to release simultaneously on PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Mac sometime during 2011.

Just FYI: We know that the voice is Richard Lord, Valve animator, but it was meant to be a placeholder for E3. However, word is that there's a strong backing of Lord's voice to get Valve to keep it in there.

  my first impression of the video was that the voice didn't fit, that's not to say he didn't do a good job but it just didn't seem like a production quality voiceover to me.. so hopefully they get a decent actor for it
