With my l33t analysis skills, I came up with this.

Re: Human Enrichment & Testing Initiative, Resource Acquisitions
1. "Low Risk" Human Resource Acquisitions
a. Hoboes and Tramps
Lives spent wandering aimlessly, cowering before authority, and drinking
concussive amounts of home-distilled potato alcohol make hoboes the perfect
Human Enrichment test subjects. The hobo questions nothing, will follow orders
if fed, and, like all hoboes, has a restless, wandering heart. (Note: The
wandering heart of the hobo should not be confused with Drifting Heart
Syndrome, which several transients contracted during testing.)
[b]b. Child Orphans and Foundlings
Deep-rooted abandonment issues leave most orphans highly susceptible to
shame-based psychology (for a complete list of opportune moments to obliterate
the esteem of test subjects, please consult Training Video #89-D, "You'd
Perform This Test Better if You Had Parents"). Recent advances in the use of
scorn, flattery used in an ironic context and naked contempt as motivational
tools have yielded similarly profitable results.[/b]
c. Psychiatric Patients
Past experience shows these fellows are simply not shy at all about carrying
on, disrupting tests and defecating just about anywhere that pleases them.
Frankly, itís off-putting, and small wonder why Aperture-brand mental
institutions are being phased out in favor of more orphanages.
d. Seniors
Frail, brittle hands make holding science devices difficult. Most were born
before the advent of science, and can become confused and disoriented when
asked to participate in relatively simple tests (teleportation, invisibility,
adjusting esteem levels of orphan children).

So they kidnap children and kill their own employees to get new test subjects?
Oh god.

I agree.
[QUOTE=Killuah;20510215]I agree.[/QUOTE]
I kinda hope so, they look awesome
I hope this isn't explained somewhere in the last forty pages, but how do you use a SSTV program like Sonic Visualizer? What do I do to get the images myself?
[QUOTE=stupid07er;20510228]I kinda hope so, they look awesome[/QUOTE]
God damn your avatar that thread left me gasping for air i was laughing so hard.
So what happened when you got the achievement?
[QUOTE=Nintendo-Guy;20510300]So what happened when you got the achievement?[/QUOTE]
Nothing.
It was damn fun in the process of getting it, though. This viral marketing thing Valve is doing made me replay the entirety of Portal, a game I've not touched in a long, long time. Bravo, Valve.
I get home from work and spend 2 1/2 hours reading 44 pages... but damn was it worth it.
[QUOTE=TheManest;20510247]God damn your avatar that thread left me gasping for air i was laughing so hard.[/QUOTE]
Still need to finish it. I should have time this weekend (school and me buying Knoxx for Borderlands has kept me from Glenda)
Fuck I read trough all that.
[QUOTE=Hakita;20510363]Fuck I read trough all that.[/QUOTE]
Atleast it's worth it...
So no one knows how to use an SSTV program? Sonic visualizer is crap for me.
Hot off the #portalupdate presses.
