[QUOTE=Ezhik;29302786][sp]The only true friend thing.. I mean, Caroline still was in GLaDOS.. Although she's deleted now, but still. How the fuck did she become GLaDOS?[/sp][/QUOTE]

[sp]Cave Johnson asked for Caroline to take over the facility after he died since he wasn't going to live long enough for them to put his brain into an AI[/sp]

[DeanWinchester]

[sp]At some point it in the Cave Johnson recordings he says that if he dies before they could put his brain into an AI, he ordered the scientists to put Caroline in "his computer" instead, or something.[/sp]

Also what's with the Super 8 thing. Valve stop being sellouts.[/QUOTE]

Gabe and JJ Abrams are good friends, JJ probably asked. Or Gabe offered.

Maybe valve are making the Super 8 Video game D:

I have no idea what to do here. :downs:

[FruitsPunch]

Thanks guys, for putting most (if not all) the spoilers hidden in tags. Really does help for those of us who have to wait a little while. :)

I hope they release a fix tomorrow.

Does anyone know the filename for the music that plays at the very beginning, [sp]when Wheatley's trying to navigate your Relaxation Room around the other ones?[/sp]

[sp]Get the "box" (use the excursion funnel) and put it inside the little room to activate the gel. Make the funnel take the gel to the ramp and before it, then drop it so you get a good running start. Take box out and put it on the funnel switch, place funnel on the right side of the exit-room-thing so that it catches you when you jump.[/sp]

Does anyone have solution for "HOW NOT TO BEAT THIS GAME IN ONE PLAYTHROUGH" ?!

I said to myself i won't play anymore today, but my damn mouse is constantly hovering over portal 2 icon...

[sp]I knew that, but how did that "gem" become a neurotoxin-spilling monster?[/sp]

[MaverickIB]

There's one thing I don't understand:

[sp]In the "old" test chambers with Cave Johnson and whatnot, he talks about at the very end how they've made some portal device. If they didn't make the portal device until right before his demise, how did people get through those old test chambers? You obviously needed the portal gun to do them.[/sp]

Delete local content, depending on your Internet speed it's gonna take til tomorrow for it to redownload. :eng101:

The only thing I don't like is loading...that happens every few minute.

This, I'd like to have a rummage around the game files too.

Follow the arrows for the first 3 pictures, and if you put your backs against the two paintings marked with targets, you can hear a voice muttering something. I can't exactly make out what it's saying though. Another thing is, if you have Developer commentary on, press the Speech node and you hear Modem sounds coming from someone named Adam Foster.
Anyone know anything about this and could investigate further?[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=afromana;29301971]Doing so as I post this, hold on.

Seems Its a information thing about the Portal 2 Announcement ARG

(Guy stopped there)[/QUOTE]

From the Potato ARG thread.

[howling techie]

Where is Exile Vilify in the game? It's a great song and I would enjoy hearing it ingame.

[PGunnii]

Oh, also I liked how this is the first time Valve has used (what sounds like) orchestrated music for the sound cues.

[sp] Because Glad0s wasn't 100% Caroline, hence why she was able to live without her. Stop asking. Caroline ended up being another barrier to help prevent Glad0s from killing people, which didn't work[/sp]

[VistaPOWA]

I think when the dev tools will be released, Portal 2 will become the best game ever made (if it's not already that).

Just think about the possibilities, so much testing elements with 4 portals! Also, I wonder if Valve will include the files for the Pneumatic Diversity Vent so we can create levels with it.

[DeanWinchester]

Sorry guys, I'm trying to make Portal maps work on Portal 2 so I was distracted and didn't remember, again sorry for the spoiler if someone who wasn't supposed to see it saw it.

[Robbobin]

[QUOTE=ElectronicG19;29302432]They're both British. Holy mother of god, Valve stuck to the 'British guys are the best villains' formula. :wtc:[/QUOTE]

I love how they took that stereotype and turned it on it's head by making him such a dumbfuck. While he was the antagonist, I don't think he was ever particularly antagonistic and I loved him all the way through.

I especially love how many instances there are where if you freeze and do nothing they have lines and lines of hilarious dialogue. [sp]jumping in the pit and using the masher on the conveyor belt[/sp] had me in stitches.

still, would have loved to see Richard Ayoade doing it aswell. :frown:

[Xonax]

Did anyone else notice that the [sp]Pneumatic Diversity Vent[/sp] didn't appear in-game?

[nikomo]

How do I get over?

BEST. POST. EVER.

[QUOTE=Ezhik;29302947][sp]They retconned it[/sp][/QUOTE]

What does that mean? I've played Portal and Portal 2, but haven't looked into any of the easter egg stuff. What does "retconned" even mean?

[Contron]

Is it just me, or does this game feel slightly "consolized"?

For example, the facts that you have to actually keep pushing yourself into lasers to actually die, and how it always prompts you to press +use

[sp]Surely Caroline was put in a robot thing before GLaDOS? Also, another question. WHY THE FUCK IS THAT PLACE UNDERGROUND??[/sp]

[Netsc]
