Are we forgetting the fact many Aperture scientists were frozen as seen in the co-op missions?

I feel its unfair to compare the two. Because we have a chance to see Black Mesa before its big disaster, whereas we only see Aperture after its equivalent Resonance Cascade incident.

I always thoufht they were the same place or division of combine.

Talking strictly before the Resonance Cascade and before GLaDOS, Black Mesa is a much more realistic and standard company. They take safety a lot more seriously comparatively, even if ultimately they still aren't perfect. They're much more the types to say "Safety First" before doing anything, and only didn't in the case of the Resonance Cascade as a result of corruption within the company pushing for the event to happen and assuring those working under them that nothing would go wrong despite raised concerns, and ultimately those who would otherwise have been also raising concerns generally fearing for their employment if they made too much of a fuss. Before this event, things would have been much more normal and therefore much more safe. Aperture is the anti-Black Mesa. Under Cave Johnson's leadership the company's view of safety was increasingly messed up as time went on, to the point where eventually safety precautions were all but discarded completely. Cave grew increasingly unhinged and increasingly broke as time went on, and as his tests got more dangerous and his funding got more cut, he went from testing on War Heroes and Olympians to testing on random volunteers and homeless people who he bribed to undergo his dangerous testing processes via offers such as removing tumors which they probably didn't have before entering the building. Cave actively went to war against safety, even going so far as to go on unhinged rants about how stupid he thinks safe science supporters are. The one saving grace Aperture has in the name of safety is that it might be the single company in the entire history of their version of Earth to produce and make use of the most guardrails.

No.

do you guys think DYNACORP Industries is canon in the HL universe?; I mean it is in the Portal 2 Co op loading screens

What site do I buy it

me when i didn't had captions on: 60°C?! me after reading captions: oh 20°C not bad cuz it's more warmer in my room

If Black Mesa's teleportation device could rupture the spacetime continuum, then I'm going with Aperture Science.

17:33 edit: also 21:38

I swear. 24:18 I can hear TF2 sound effects in the deafening rain. Critical hits, sniper rifle shots, sentry guns, explosions... have I been playing too much Team Fortress 2?

aperture testes for the sake of testing, thinking about what they could and could not do (not giving a care about the law), which is why they went bankrupt before caves death black mesa tested, got results, and used that to further the company but i do give aperture a single point for being to keep out the combine (or go completely unnoticed)

4:23 LOL THAT HAPPENED TO ME.

*Die due to get shot by the core laser* The one when the core is reaches overload

8:00 because I'm allergic to it :/

imagine valve makes a new half life game, you expect it to be half life 3 then it just turns out to be "Half Life 2: Episode 2: Season 1"

So, you either face daily testing, or be responsible for the end of the world

@makine Türkçesi ?

MATE! WE NEED LEMON! WE NEED EXPLOSIVE!

Just wanna let you know Jesus loves you repent <3 you are important Jesus is calling you, excatly the same for anyone else who is reading this :D (yes ik it has nothing to do with the video)

Black mesa son or apeture sience daughter

I want to note black mesa was basicly manipulated by the g-man to do the experiment as he knew what would happen while everything execpt glados's nurotoxin was intended by aperture

Like the video good voice acting

that lamp shut off was smooth

in portal they do make it to au's and send test subjects to them no matter the dangers like no oxygen or face eating monster's they even make deal with other au's and in one of the au's cave johnson buys black mesa and stop's the experiment with GG-3883 and calls the staff idiots for trying to test it and start a resonance cascade

I got an ad the moment you mentioned cake. KZbin is trying to silence you 😂

Black mesa is dangerous when shit goes sideways, aperture will kill you if everything goes well.

but BUT. BUT. Aperture science puts handrails everywhere so are they really that bad

You're right... Mostly. If you compare the disasters, yes, Black Mesa's is less deadly by a slim margin. However, if you compare both facilities pre-disaster, it's not even a contest. Black Mesa beats Aperture into the ground for the better workplace. Black Mesa prioritized safety and procedure in almost every experiment they conducted. The failed experiment only happened because Dr. Breen ordered the conditions to be unsafe. Prior to this, Black Mesa was comfortable, safe, and productive. Aperture on the other hand was a considerably worse work environment. You were expected to both work and volunteer for testing, under the reasoning that the robots they were replacing you with were better than you in every way. This would have a massive psychological impact on the employees, likely bringing morale and attention to detail to an all time low (potentially contributing to the absurd number of failed tests.) You were constantly reminded that there was someone or something better than you, and you were also constantly given the feeling that you were doing something you shouldn't be doing because you were told to avoid law enforcement and OSHA inspectors. Aperture was also a lot more protective of its research, to the point of making surface access very difficult to reach. Overall the environment was significantly worse than Black Mesa.

how to survive black mesa incident easy? go on an extended vacation off site

One thing that isn't talked about nearly at all. Aperture Science is literally constantly rebuilt on top of itself. The fact the original place is just at the very bottom, and they just kept building the new facility over the old one. The structural integrity has to be in massive concern. Also by the presumed numbers, you are less likely to survive the Black Mesa event vs Aperture. There were far far more people working at Black Mesa, and only a handful got out. On top of the mortality rate of the military coming into the place. The mortality rate of Black Mesa is far higher just by population alone. Aperture had as known one scientist survive, if we exclude all of the test subjects that are still "alive" after the portal 2 Co-op. You still have an overall lower mortality inside Aperture overall. Also we don't know how many of Aperture's staff was at the facility at the time of the event. Since Black Mesa had their staff living on site it meant you were in the thick of it no matter what. Aperture workers could have been home sick, on vacation, or it was their day off that day. But that is just speculation and doesn't have a full bases.

As a kid i wanted a dd2, walking in town with my mom seeing one in store window she walked in asking for the price, she took my hand and we walked out of the store ..

People:Black Mesa is more dangerous!!! Other people:Nah aperture science is. The SCP foundation:

they're both good options but I'm choosing the SCP Foundation

“Making films is not easy,” is something you definitely related to! You’ve chosen a very interesting and cool topic. I can really see the incredible amount of effort you put into every one of your films. Great job!

black mesa as there is a specific person there with a crowbar that takes care of disasters

If i do remember, at aperture later on they just put everything in the air. So food requirements were gone and even sleep wasnt needed as evident by chell & explained to her by glados. So maybe beans, coffee & water with cake maybe just to satisfy the taste buds (or clean them with water) All aperture devices can also sustain very high heat in 1000's. And the gun just explodes like turrets if it gets completely damaged, brine & crushed being few of them.

I would rather join black mesa because they atlest tryed to take security measures when doing physics brakeing shit

Well I mean I’m pretty sure gman gave black mesa the crystal so I’d say black mesa is innocent

well at least black mesa HAD survivors, a few... anyways

8:07 because it will wipe out time entirely

Half Life 1 Gmod Games

Let's Play Half Life 2!

I’m chilling with GLaDOS with the portal gun no Aliens for me

"what cat?"

Black mesa safety makes sense for US Government spending between the 70s and 2000s, even now....

This video should have just been 40 seconds long with one explanation. Black Mesa has safety precautions. Aperture doesnt.

I'm gonna guess BM is safer, seeing as how the CEO of Aperture basically killed himself with the experiments he ran and the fact that BM doesn't have Glados.
