Last year, Valve teased gamers around the world with the promise of eventually releasing a level editor for Portal 2. The company's been frustratingly close-lipped about details since then -- until yesterday, that is. Valve announced that the level editor is shipping as a DLC offering called the Perpetual Testing Initiative, coming to PC and Macs on May 8th for the low, low price of absolutely free.
Aside from that information, the Valve press release was pretty lightweight:
The "Perpetual Testing Initiative" allows players to easily create, share, and play Portal 2 puzzles. The Initiative comes with a simplified puzzle maker that allows that creation of mind-bending puzzles without ever leaving the game.
The puzzle maker can directly publish maps to the Steam Workshop where users can browse, vote on, and select to play them. Selected puzzles will automatically be downloaded and installed inside Portal 2.
So, yeah, that's about that. Be sure to watch the awesomely humorous video above to get a better feel for the Perpetual Testing Initiative. Will a level editor coax you into blowing the cobwebs off of Portal 2 and taking it for a whirl again?

How does Viacom have any claim to the video?
Just yet another example of copyright abuse that goes unpunished.
Fighting against copyright is the information ages prohibition.
End copyright, save free speech.

I wonder what it's like to work in a company that not only produces top quality games, but refuses to screw its fans (and sometimes gives them free stuff like TF 2).

Sorry, I cannot play Portal 2. I was sucked into 6 hours of Skyrim, no food, no water, no breaks. Suddenly I looked around and the sun's going down, the cats are hungry, and I gotta piss. Damn you, Skyrim, another day that just evaporated into your clutches!

Portal 2 already has a level editor. It's called Hammer. Modding community is already small enough :(

I got to watch it, but I had to go to the YouTube site to do so. Don't know about the "awesomely humorous" part.
