Just finished having a play with it. For the most part it seems pretty good. Although the behaviours and what-not confused me slightly as well. I suppose they're just there to try to prevent the whole drop and drag thing getting cluttered. I just found myself wondering 'Am I allowed to put the movement stuff in with the jumping mechanics, or do they have to be separated behaviours?' It feels a bit weird that way.
Still, I've only been fiddling for a bit, and it doesn't seen like it'd be too complex to get to grips with. There's just a lot in your face. All the time. From the very beginning. So trying not to lose track of something on one tab whilst you wade through behaviours on another is hard.

Woah, that was extremely well done. Although I kinda have to agree with the highest comment: It's extremely well done, but the only reason I wasn't happy with it was that, to me, Chell was too strong to go mad like that. Some of the subtler things I could see, because she's bound to have flashbacks of the horrors, but I felt like her driving force was her ability to stay sane in the face of the things that so many others broke down on. Still, that doesn't stop it from being awesome.

I like Sad Realisation. For some weird reason it reminded me of Civ 1, but that's besides the point. The simplicity of it really works in its favour to be honest. However, and I'm no music expert here, but the very beginning notes before the main melody starts seem rather empty. Maybe consider having a subtle drone underneath or simply have those notes sustain a bit longer before they fade. Again, I could be talking out my arse here, but that's just what I felt  Nice work.

I've never walked in my sleep, but that's probably due to my extreme laziness.
 nice! Thankfully I've never sleep walked, or at least I've never been aware that I have. Sounds scary...

I was thinking about grabbing it with my next paycheck. Does it have a lot of good stuff?
Yeah, I'd highly recommend it. I'd only ever seen his some his more recent work but this book goes quite a ways back. Very good source of inspiration.
