Things are happening in the Portal realm today. There's a decent summary here: http://netshroud.wordpress.com/2010/03/02/portal-radio-transmission-update/

I tried to find all of the radios for the new achievement, but missed 4. :rant:

There is also word around of a casting call for a 60ish male for some Portal voice acting work.

Edit: More info on wired.com

Megathread about it here: http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=902578

Cool viral marketing by Valve going on :D ARG stuff.

Right now you can go into Portal and get a new achievement. If you figure out how to get it, you unlock a secret ending. :awesome: (Secret ending was only added just a couple hours ago, though the achievement was added a few days ago.)

Of course if you browse the steam forums much they'll spoil it for you pretty quick. But they also figured out some of the stuff I never could in the ARG, so it's worth a look through at least a few of the summary threads.

The latest summary and update are here. Valve has sure gone to a lot of effort to hide all of these clues.
