Isn't that an incinerator where you dropped the cores into?
[b]Edit:[/b]
It looks like a new kind of an incinerator.[/QUOTE]
It can't be, because the incinerators ingame opened with an aperture instead of sliding doors.

[QUOTE=loled;20511230]What the fuck is it doing on a stairway, and what the fuck is GMAN doing behind it?[/QUOTE]

Well, i can see his head and his hand, and obviously his body.
I can highlight it if you want
Dear god. I can barely wrap my head around this. Valve seriously expected us to do all of this? Talk about faith in your fans... Makes you wonder how much time they put into this, though. A lot more then it'll take you guys solving it, though.

I'm starting to think these ascii photos are from either security cameras or... Something else.[/QUOTE]
HOLY SHIT!!?!

Looks like a black turret walking next to a combine.
Left side is two combine talking to each other in front of a hut-seized building.
They all wear black long matles because it's cold.
ARGR! brain overload :psyboom:
Well, heres the highlighted gman (I mean, it HAS to be some person)

Well, Episode 3 was coming sooner or later. :clint:

I think the black part is the birds body and the whiter part is its beak
I'm just waiting for an image of the Borealis or something to pop up. Then I will implode
Hey guys whats go- *new content* :psyboom:
My ass is about to implode.

Well, I'm going to leave the puzzle solving and computer smashing for tomorrow, I really [B]Really[/B] hope something real nice comes out of this and not turn out to be Value trying to be funny.
On the note of funny, this whole thing added a real creepy tone to Portal. Maybe the next game will have some horror aspects in it.

It already did.
Didn't you see the ep3 concept image one?

Fuck no, no horror aspects.
Ive had enough of those in DOOM 3.
I slept through this, I need a recap. Just link me to post where you guys figured shit out and how you got to here, with blurry pictures.
So what do we know now? That GlaDOS is back from the dead?
Personally, I was hoping for the announcement of Half-Life 2 Episode 3.

As I said, there is no such thing as EP3 (not AR3 reference)

I dunno mate, I think you might be reading too much into that nondescript shape. My interpretation is its just the gap where that pipe passes through into the wall. But hell, you might be right. One can only speculate at this stage.
loled. It's not the Gman. You were wrong. Give up already.
[QUOTE=PieClock;20511354]loled. It's not the Gman. You were wrong. Give up already.[/QUOTE]
Ok, ok, I GIVE UP :smithicide:

Sorry man. It's just you're making things too complicated. We should be focusing on what is there and not what we think is there. :v:
I think I should post this, it's what everyone got from the BBS thing. Tori posted it in the IRC

[img]http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/9113/blurredportalascii.png[/img][/QUOTE]Was that sent as a file?
I see a door, some robots, GLaDOS (twice), some diagrams, a few hallways, and two white and one red turret.
Oh VALVe.
[editline]07:48AM[/editline]
Oh and a circle.
Is there a timeline of EVERYTHING that's happened so far? I was all over it earlier at work, but I left for home just when the BBS (login/pass BACKUP & BACKUP) ASCII images were starting to show up, such as the Portal 'Postcard' with the two sentries and the two 'android' things holding hands or somesuch.
Now it's up to some shit about colour shades and whatnot and almost 50 pages of extra posts on the 'official' thread.
So yeah, timeline anyone? :P
*edit* Found this rough overview, is it up to date pretty much?;
[quote]-Portal gets surprise update yesterday afternoon
-People see new mystery achievement
-People play and see the radio in the beginning room now has a green light
-Carry it around and notice it makes strange broadcast interference noises in certain places
-Locate and place all 26 of these mystery radios for achievement
-Smart people yank wav files out of game content folders and run them through steganography programs
-Produces 26 weird cryptic image files in a numbered sequence
-Some dude runs the number string through an md5 hash translator and gets a landline number
-Internet traces it to Kirkland, WA (near Valve HQ)
-People find out its not a phone/fax line but a data line hosting a BBS and telnet it
-Use a clue from one of the files to figure out the BBS user/password login info
-End up with a bunch of weird ASCII artwork
-We're trying to figure out wtf it means[/quote]
