Honourable Mention: Peer Review DLC
- Since it's the true chronological epilogue to Portal 2, here is the quick breakdown of what happens after the vault opens:
- The Human Vault: Glados admits she managed to completely use up/kill all thousands of those frozen humans within a single week of testing.
- There seems to be someone or something crashing Aperture's systems, its not a human hacker, it’s just the wild bird from the single-player campaign walking all over a prototype keyboard to build a nest.
- The Ending: Glados adopts the bird's unhatched eggs, deciding to raise the baby chicks into the ultimate, portal-solving test subjects.
It proves Glados is trapped in an endless loop of her own testing obsession.

Never noticed that the frankenturrets short circuit when glados says the paradox but Wheatley isn't even phased by it 23:00
Meaning the turret boxes are smarter than him.

29:19 I only JUST noticed the "Manntis Co." sign in the 18th century era mantis city!

That's a nice little nod to Team Fortress 2 right there.

Honestly I’m not even sure why I’m watching this I’ve played every portal game multiple time each and have watched nearly every lore video on portal

Portal 3 will come

One day, one day….

Legendary refresh pull

I haven't actually had any kind of cake in a long time, could really go for some

My personal head canon is that Glados isn’t the one to bring chell back from the moon, instead it was Caroline that took over and fixed everything

6:25 Fun fact: the original Portal (as seen in the Orange Box) didn't have the 'Chell gets dragged back in' part in its ending. Valve added it in a later update (when they announced Portal 2) just to bridge the two games together.

I was incredibly worried after you said chell's parents were aperture employees that you would try and say the very old (and frankly, wrong) theory that cave and caroline were her parents, thank you for not doing that lmao

14:47 Glados's symphony

Doug practically saved Chell. I only hope he’ll wake up as that portal comic needs a sequel.

A portal video essay?! In this economy?

@25:32
You can just imagine Chell's thoughts here.

"The Moon? Wait, didn't Cave Johnson say Moon Rock creates portalable surfaces?"
Whitley: Take one last look at your precious human moon, because it CANNOT help you now.
Chell's thoughts:
"We'll see about that." (Fires Portal Gun at the moon. It takes a few seconds because of the sheer distance)

26:36 singing turrets
Honestly still the best part of the entire series :D

Well now we honestly need a complete lore+all mods out there that seem very in line with the canonical two games and the comic

21:50 listening to this speech with this music was amazing

24:12 This is the part where he does the thing

Seeing a RECENTLY UPLOADED video that mentions Aperture Desk Job makes me shed a tear of joy as a Grady cosplayer 🥹

this story is indeed complete
