Valve Conspiracies: The Portal Radio Update (Megathread Mark II) - Games

Thats the point it can be anything and everything you want it to be

looks like something i'd see in the hospital

[QUOTE=Max of S2D;20549849]Here's something new and interesting! [editline]09:55AM[/editline] [url=http://gickr.com][img]http://gickr.com/results4/anim_83cc2b7c-05c7-95d4-5134-2661840c02eb.gif[/img][/url][/QUOTE] Who gave that to you?

The BBS itself

Looks like a failed portal.

[QUOTE=D3N1ZFTW;20549883]Who gave that to you?[/QUOTE] Stop being so paranoid, I know what I'm doing. It comes from the IRC OPs, all from one dump IIRC (don't remember if it's the latest or an earlier one)

The ASHPD failed

It comes from this dump apparently [img]http://kevin.fobby.net/portal_puzzle/bbs_dump_pictures/progress28.png[/img] [img]http://kevin.fobby.net/portal_puzzle/bbs_dump_pictures/progress23.png[/img]

[QUOTE=ViRiS;20549306][img]http://i50.tinypic.com/1znyiqa.jpg[/img] Nope[/QUOTE] I guess that's the robot who retrieves you at the end of portal.

uh

Am I the only one who sees a hand at the top of the bottom of this [img]http://kevin.fobby.net/portal_puzzle/bbs_dump_pictures/progress27.png[/img]

Ok - be back in 3 hours, surfing this thread in my phone while im in school is trouble...

I see a hand assembling something

apparently it's nothing more than a corrupted version of another poster

[QUOTE=Max of S2D;20549921]Am I the only one who sees a hand at the top of the bottom of this *image*[/QUOTE] That hand can be seen in the ASCII art near the middle

I have my Win95 computer hooked up (and it's horrid 33.6K modem, yes... that slow), but I never dialed the BBS because I'm sure it's taking enough hits to cause slowdown (and it has been mentioned to that effect). And I will not be dialing the BBS, because plenty of astute people are creating dumps that everyone can see, which is awesome. That, and it costs for the call, and I'm a cheap bastard. Oh, and my phone company sucks. :D EDIT: Also, what's with the last image at the bottom of a lot of the BBS ASCII streams being either really squashed or like... Just dropping off?

Where's the guy who coloured all the art in before, we need his skills!

[QUOTE=RJ102;20549925]I see a hand assembling something[/QUOTE] someone's saying it looks like the "crushing hands" poster on the canister launching machinery in Lost Coast's church! :ohdear: [editline]10:17AM[/editline] [QUOTE=kostiak;20549958]Can someone confirm this is real?[/QUOTE] This is real you muppet, it's the original image being photoshopped so we can see stuff more clearly (removing noise visually, for instance) [editline]10:19AM[/editline] Here's the full version of the poster I was talking about. It's a chemical warning. Full ASCII version somewhere in it (just look for it) [url]http://portalwiki.net/images/4/4f/Portalasciilarge2.png[/url] Original color image: [url]http://z.about.com/d/chemistry/1/0/C/d/corrosive.jpg[/url]

The hand looks like the other ASCII with the chemestryset and that shit

OK so the main thing looks like a mouse trap, no idea what the rest of it is

[QUOTE=Max of S2D;20549921]Am I the only one who sees a hand at the top of the bottom of this [img_thumb]http://kevin.fobby.net/portal_puzzle/bbs_dump_pictures/progress27.png[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] Has anyone figured if that progressbar has anything to do with anything?

I never noticed the toy person in the mousetrap

[QUOTE=Kalkka;20550035]Has anyone figured if that progressbar has anything to do with anything?[/QUOTE] We don't exactly know why it goes forward, some people say it might be tied to the number of people getting the Transmission Received achievement, since it doesn't progress linearly (so far). [editline]10:27AM[/editline] Added [url]http://filesmelt.com/dl/portal_2_sstv.jpg[/url] to the O.P. (compilation of the cleaned up SSTV pictures)

[IMG]http://filesmelt.com/dl/wat29.jpg[/IMG] This looks like a man with a Fancy Fedora :v: also,how do i thumbnail images?Never actually had to before

[QUOTE=kostiak;20550021]OK so the main thing looks like a mouse trap, no idea what the rest of it is[/QUOTE] It's obviously got a human being trapped in it, and I think it's a male. Probably just a reference to the "ratman" in Portal, the one that wrote all the stuff to the walls behind the scenes of some test chambers.

People seem to run with the idea that the android/robot thing on the left is a android/robot thing. I feel it might be some sort of exo-skeleton. Mainly because of the large gap between the shoulders and the fact that if you are playing as Chell I would find it hard to believe that she survived that and can still walk/jump/use arms.

[highlight]the progress bar is now at 49 chars / 76, which equals 64%[/highlight]

I mentioned that Hypersphere/N-Sphere formula (V=4 x 3.14 x r4 : 3) for my math teacher, so he might dig up some more info if possible. (Not that he knows what Portal is)
