Portal Radio Update - Megathread Mark III - Games

[QUOTE=QCIC;20566804][url]http://half-life2.nl/index.php/Evolving_Theory[/url] i honestly find this to be entirely plausible, when the progress bar hits 70/70 we will most likely get some kind of clear message[/QUOTE] "Thank you for participating in this Aperture Science Anonymous Portal Test. Goodbye." Trailer for Portal 2 starts.

[QUOTE=kidwithsword;20566904]Fucking shit. I knew they'd pull this crap.[/QUOTE] Mother fucker.

[QUOTE=insane taco;20566998]Mother fucker.[/QUOTE] Wait, wha?

what if its all just ends up being the Engi update?

[QUOTE=Toastwolf117;20567011]Wait, wha?[/QUOTE] Progress bar went back a bar. Confirmed by multiple sources. Fuck.

[QUOTE=insane taco;20567039]Progress bar went back a bar. Confirmed by multiple sources. Fuck.[/QUOTE] GOD DAMMIT GABE. MEANWHILE AT VALVe Gabe: Ha ha! Those fools on facepunch don't understand the power.... Soon, beans... very soon. Try reading that in the most evil voice you can think of.

Wow, it's actually moving backwards. That's pretty funny. I'm gonna go cry now.

[QUOTE=insane taco;20567039]Progress bar went back a bar. Confirmed by multiple sources. Fuck.[/QUOTE] I bet THAT makes our points of data make a much less beautiful line.

SHIT I SHOULD HAVE KEPT MY MOUTH SHUT Damn you Gave

Hello again guys, sorry I couldn't cover anything live during the night. Besides the progress bar moving back by one block at some point, did anything happen?

Valve wasnt trolling us for awhile but they couldnt resist...

[QUOTE=QCIC;20567219]what the fuck is going on[/QUOTE] Seems like cave johnson was right after all. The bar is moving to the fast aproaching distant past. We are screwed.

MEANWHILE AT VALVe Gabe: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwGFalTRHDA[/media] Tomorrow, hopefully.

Would you look at that. [img]http://i48.tinypic.com/r8xyyh.png[/img]

lol. What is this? I'm new...I just thought this was all about an achievement. Help?

[QUOTE=Max of S2D;20567345]Would you look at that. [img]http://i48.tinypic.com/r8xyyh.png[/img][/QUOTE] looks like another turret...

[QUOTE=Max of S2D;20567345]Would you look at that. [IMG]http://i48.tinypic.com/r8xyyh.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] Thats one sexy turret

[QUOTE=Max of S2D;20567345]Would you look at that. [img]http://i48.tinypic.com/r8xyyh.png[/img][/QUOTE] well it's a turret is the object on the left of any significance?

Oh those fucking bastards

If you pass your noise filters (and some frequency filters) over the dinosaur noise stereofile, you get this: [url]http://www.mediafire.com/file/mn5tmnztnno/dinosaur_noise_1.ogg[/url] [url]http://www.mediafire.com/file/ymmjziujkhz/dinosaur_noise_2.ogg[/url] Made off of the track featured in the lower half of that stereo channel: [img]http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/5151/splitf.jpg[/img]

So, for tonight all Valve has done is mess with us. :( OH well, in about 3 Minuets by me it will be Friday... Maybe they will pull something off.

Hey, for your DINOSAUR THEORY PAGE (for all you IRC people), I seem to recall discussing one that said "4781 millenia ago" (which appeared 20 hours ago on the BBS), which when I investigated into it on wiki, it said that this would be when mammoths started to enter the fossil record (4.8 mil year ago). Food for thought... That'd be the Pliocene epoch, apparently. Reference: [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showpost.php?p=20550118&postcount=1809[/url]

if these records are like, GlaDOS memories, does that mean she sees in ASCII?

[QUOTE=Akuma_lektro;20567621]if these records are like, GlaDOS memories, does that mean she sees in ASCII?[/QUOTE] It's in ASCII because that's the format the BBS displays. They don't have the bandwidth for anything more than just text.

[QUOTE=jocloud31;20567633]It's in ASCII because that's the format the BBS displays. They don't have the bandwidth for anything more than just text.[/QUOTE] but don't you have to use some kind of "image to ASCII" program or whatnot or does the BBS do that itself when sending it? unless the BBS does it my question still stands?

[QUOTE=Akuma_lektro;20567672]but don't you have to use some kind of "image to ASCII" program or whatnot or does the BBS do that itself when sending it? unless the BBS does it my question still stands?[/QUOTE] I guess that is true. I'm not particularly familiar with any BBS program, but I would doubt they convert images. I would assume that GLaDOS is sending messages in formats we can find. However, I would think it's fair to say that this is to be completely separated from any in-game universe. There's really no reason for GLaDOS to be sending information about her boot status.

[QUOTE=Akuma_lektro;20567672]but don't you have to use some kind of "image to ASCII" program or whatnot or does the BBS do that itself when sending it? unless the BBS does it my question still stands?[/QUOTE] in today's world there are many image to ASCII programs - back in the day I'm pretty sure all ASCII art was done by hand and was pretty much the format for pictures (raw pictures didn't exist in the digital world). think back to commodore 64 and 386/486 computers.
