Portal certainly was one of those games that gave off that “something is wrong” vibe in the best way possible

fun fact: you know removing the morality core in portal 1 causes glados to not be moral anymore, but each personality sphere actually removes personality traits from glados. which you can see in the lines

after curiosity core is incinerated, glados has no interest in talking or testing and just wants to kill you.

once you destroy the intelligence core, the only one left is anger. so all glados does is insult you and say things like "this is how stupid you sound"

it's pretty interesting to say the least.

The screaming girl could also be a child. Seeing as it was meant to happen on bring your daughter to work day.

Honestly, I think the Combine did try to get into Aperture, but GLaDOS was able to hold them off, but not before they got some technology from Aperture such as the energy pellets and turrets, however GLaDOS was able to prevent them from getting hold of the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device, and other more secret technology.

I just love this kind of storytelling where there's all sorts of ominous references without specifically saying exactly what happened. You can tell there's a well defined story that the writers have thought up but they dole it out in small bite sized pieces. Jonathan Hickman's comics have kind of a similar feel.

Dude just that opening line hits hard, Portal is so damn creepy

Portal 1 and 2 scared me when I was a kid, despite watching videos about them before getting them, I was horrified there would be a jumpscare or a monster of some kind.. I love both games to death now, but I always felt like there was someone else there, not just the cameras, not the turrets, not Glados, not Wheatley, a third party watching me.

Portal is how to make a horror game without SPOoOoOky monsters or HoOoOrifying jump scares

I feel like it was a missed opportunity not calling the sections "Aperture Labs". You have the surface, complete with flowery fields and rusty metal shed; the upper levels where GLaDOS has control; then the bottom levels where Old Aperture lays in ruins.

It is always interesting to me that two people can do a reading of the same iceberg, and you can walk away with a great yet unique experience. Well done.

The main thing I learned from this iceberg is that Rattmann is a real one

Here's one thing that would've never caused both games to happen: Not having a neurotoxin generator. Genuinely if that had never existed then when the scientists opened GLaDOS up for the first time they would've just shut her down, put on the cores, woke her up, and now there's literally nothing she can do.

there are early animation tests of glados, and her arms weren't 'bound' like her final animations, and it shows that her 'chest' faces the ground, like she's arching her back.

Portal is probably the first liminal space video game

I can tell this video was recorded before the release of Aperture Desk Job

my theory is that glados sees you enter these rooms, and decided to lock it up when you left because she doesn't want you in there.

(she does have cameras, and could sense where we were in the first game without them)

dude I loved this video! Portal is one of my favorite video game series of all time. I love the eerie atmosphere it gives off. I was always intrigued by the mysteries that layed beneath the surface. I don't think I'll ever get enough of creepy Portal content, it just make some sad that Valve is not into releasing any games right now unfortunately :/

36:15 i remember the line being “the surge of emotion that shot through me when i saved your life just now taught me an even more valuable lesson: where Caroline lives in my brain” is that just me or???
