Grubby's first time Portal - Full playthrough, 0 Spoilers!

[@antares3030]

Bro's actually clearing hardest things within seconds to stand 5 minutes near a fence you can shoot through

[@antares3030]

Nevermind, 15 minutes

[@algumnomeaihehe]

you are the problem

[@lizardizzle]

It's always a gem to watch someone completely lose a lifetime of object permanence, spatial reasoning, logical deduction, memory, estimation, patience, observational deduction, and any other basic life tool we as humans have to be able to perform tasks on a day-to-day basis, just because this game perfectly forces you to think in ways that you just haven't ever been accustomed to. But holy shit is it still insane to see.

[@Raton516]

The exact moment he starts thinking with portals 47:02

[@lukusridley]

I'm a professional Brane Geniouse and I can confirm from watching this whole playthrough and entering it into the grubtor brane analysis engine that grubby has 400 (four hundred) dutch iq points, equivalent to roughly 17 ordinary americans.

[@n4m3l3ss0n31]

Or 3 washing machines.

[@c_nrad]

Missed a decimal. True value = 0.17 Americans.

[@BLooDCoMPleX]

3 football fields

[@Calalden]

Watching grubby brain start thinking in portals in real time is awesome

[@drakethsoul7690]

I don't understand why it is so damn difficult for people not to spoil or try to answer every single question he has without him asking. It's like they don't want to enjoy watching him play the game. This and ER it's so blatant :O Also love this! Moooooore!

[@ingo6661]

Right?! Who does that should get insta timed out from mods. So freaking annoying seeing ppl spoil every single "let him cook" moment

[@algumnomeaihehe]

I'm convinced it's not ignorance, it's selfishness. They feel discomfort and don't even consider how their whining might affect others or the overall experience.

[@sifk6163]

They finally know something that Grubby doesn't. They must insert their expansive knowledge to show the world how incredibly intelligent they are.

[@ira233]

Elden Ring was justified cuz that was his first souls game, he didn't even know the basics but for this game I agree.

[@dougler500]

I can speak for all gamers and say this is one of our favourite games ever and we're all so happy to see you play it! Valve are truly among the GOATs.

[@BenRHarsh]

Fun fact: Portal was adapted by Valve after acquiring the student developers at DigiPen working on a game called Narbacular Drop. The integration into the Half-Life universe and comedic approach was almost certainly a master stroke by Valve to broaden its appeal.

[@n4m3l3ss0n31]

This is painful to watch but for some reason I can't stop watching it. It's like a 4 hour loop of a labradoodle chasing its tail.

[@Carlsona512]

This was 1 part effortless genius at work, 1 part golden retriever, 1 part Mr. Magoo. Great stuff.

[@Schmitty7546]

Why cut the song? Fear of copyright?

[@KittyGotSued]

at around 34:00 I got really frustrated watching this.. I really thought "please think!" . Just walk back a bit and look up...argh...But it took me back to my own first run!! It's such a mental journey to comprehend and play this game! I'm just jealous you got to experience this feeling. I really miss these quality valve games, they truly are the pinnacle of game creation.

[@Snowspots]

too this day, i will always be confused when someone (a player) is given infinite tries and experimentaion, and still is afraid to use it XD

[@rasin9391]

Portal1 then Portal2 then Portal2coop . Its very important to play the games in that particular order. Also great video! PS: Portal 2 is a solo game. Play the solomode first

[@Dancyspartan]

Love this so far ❤🎉 Hope u play Portal 2 on stream. It's a bit more intricate with quite charming characters and "pzazz" Also, would be sick if chat was approx 1x1 pixel large so the anxious backseaters could exit my field of view 😂

[@BladeFalla]

Good news for you, he already did

[@Dancyspartan]

​@@BladeFalla Lucky me! :)

[@lizardizzle]

38:25 "I think they just showed that platform for the first time." They? THEY? WHAAAAAAAAT? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

[@marcberland5951]

I was today years old when I learned, that grubby has a severe depth perception problem 😅 But a fun stream and nice video. Have fun with portal 2 and I hope to see portal reloaded soon!

[@MondSemmel]

2:43:56: That instant sequence to get past the broken stairs O_o.

[@c_nrad]

I am most upset with how rough and careless he is with the Aperture Science Weighted Storage Cubes at the beginning of the run 😢

[@vexienroe]

Grubby's face when he says thats not true, so real :D

[@vodkavecz]

Grats on finishing another game Grubby! Portal is such a fun experience. The end credit song was cut from the end of the video because it has copyright?

[@Zaamos]

Congratz Grubby! ill watch that bit by bit when there will be no patients to do, cheers!

[@MondSemmel]

1:32:40: Grubby has an epiphany.

[@x7y2k12]

Grubby's IQ is definitely increasing during this video. He's leeching my IQ points.

[@BLooDCoMPleX]

Watching a first time Portal player's confusion is one of the funniest things ever.

[@CoL_Drake]

the fact that in the end he always brought the balls with him to the button instead of just letting it lay at the incenarator made me crazy xD

[@suhnshaiene]

watching this with my speedrunning splits open was quite entertaining and made me feel better about my times

[@nikopas75]

3 laws of Portal: 1. Think with portals 2. The cake is a lie 3. Let him cook ...

[@mouth52gaming]

Grubby Variety is so cozy, always be you brother

[@antares3030]

overthinking: the game

[@Kilabi]

Trying to put the gun down and assuming the party position to not miss the cake is my personal highlight.

[@BLooDCoMPleX]

He actually tried to surrender after the Cake reveal lmao

[@TomLok]

Portal is such a gem 💎 looking forward to Portal 2 now!! 😊

[@Zhohan-]

Grubby would have made an excellent Takashi's Castle contestant

[@MittensOnly]

If you'd like insight on how Valve designed Portal, I really recommend playing with the developer commentary on. The go into huge amounts of detail about nearly every aspect of the game

[@toshizue8627]

This was a triumph! 🎉

[@Zerathil]

I'm making a note here; "Huge success"

[@sniperdubey]

@@Zerathil It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.

[@RealZeratul]

Woah, I didn't know that you can... SPOILER... shoot the glass tube with a rocket to get a cube to step on, I brought an office chair with me IIRC. O.o

[@beng7367]

Very fun playthrough, it makes me wonder how Grubby would face a game like Outer wilds, it would be nuts Imo !

[@brunomattesco]

2:44:05 he's still not thinking with portals...

[@TheJerbol]

Hot take here: The cake is NOT a lie. Take from that what you will

[@IAmebAdger]

Aw we didnt get to hear glados sing the song at the credits!

[@rpopelka86]

Him taking forever to get into the first secret room and then not seeing the disturbing “HELP” text and “The cake is a lie” for way too long was so frustrating that I can’t watch the rest of the video.

[@Aaron537_UNIQUESTRING]

Can't make a cake without cracking a few Easter eggs

[@PallarN2]

Walk up stairs when you have a portal gun xD

[@catoninetails789]

I loved it. Watched the entire video. I think if Grubby liked Portal, he might like Half Life 2.

[@Kakao-Felix]

laughed so hard at some points

[@attention_shopping]

antichamber for a day would be fun

[@s427]

Oh, that's a shame, you missed the end credits song. It's actually hilarious and a big part of all the Portal memes. I suggest you watch it on youtube.

[@Tfisk]

I can confirm that you have an IQ

[@spikedemon42]

The most frustrating part of this was his laser guided attacks....

[@XandersGame2]

yooo i love grubby i watch him every night afterwork... i love portal was thinking about playing it over my weekend... saving this vid grub, we playing this shit together tomorrow XD sort of haha

[@Enderking394]

First elden ring, now portal?! I love this channel

[@Linseman]

Amazing! You have to play portal 2 as well!!

[@stephanfouche9208]

You missed the Glados song at the end

[@neospriss]

I wish he would have listened to the end credits. They are actually very good

[@g2g591]

think he did but it got cut from this vid ( think maybe got copyright struck) , don't worry. notice the cut at the end and his chat talking about it

[@ivanthespacebiker5390]

Grubby on classic wow and on portal, what have i done to be so blessed? Btw portal 2 even more fire

[@omri9325]

I doubt it possible to not get any spoilers for this game

[@jb34ch1]

this is a treat

[@clementrdu]

Hell yeah Morrowind and Oblivion were the shit in 2007

[@HamguyBacon]

This is one of the playtesters valve is always talking about where they have to dumb down the game

[@wassimdarwich5918]

Amazing simply Amazing

[@algumnomeaihehe]

hope you had fun despite some chatters doing their best to ruin the experience bud.

[@attention_shopping]

2:44:00 lmao

[@cheeeeeeeef]

He didnt listen to the song WTF

[@sabotsabotskij7047]

I'm betting he did but cut it out of the youtube video because youtube copyright strikes everything with music in it.

[@bingochicken322]

You should play half life series after portal and portal 2!

[@EJKruze]

You didn't watch the credits!

[@vexienroe]

exxx maarrkkss the sppaaaaoottt

[@MrBendiix]

For someone that can micro and macro a million units in an RTS, you are not very good at seeing what is right in front of you. This is crazy tbh.

[@matesaak]

Don't get me wrong I like this guy but man hes slow 😂

[@victornguyen1175]

I don't know if slow's the right word, but it always does seem like competitive RTS taught him to think in unusual patterns that make even simple things difficult. It's a bit unfair to Portal, though. It's always been an unusual game for everyone who played it for the first time. Grubby's basically lived under a rock and missed that generation of gaming, so for him, it's just like back when nobody knew about it.

[@TijmenZwaan]

@@victornguyen1175 Imho, Grubby's main issue is that he almost never takes a pause to just take in his surroundings. He's always frantically zooming all over the place as if he's playing a high level RTS. But that only works if you already know the game. There are so many things that are right in front of him but he just does not process that they're there. Like the clear help messages / hand prints on the walls. The energy ball receptor that was 1.5m away from the energy ball shooter. The last white wall in the momentum introduction. Once he has actually taken in the information, he's very quick to solve the puzzle. He just has a hard time slowing down to actually take in information.

[@drewbennett-moss6385]

​@@TijmenZwaan very interesting how traits like this highly benefit one in certain genres (in grubbys case RTS games) and hinder you in others. We all have our specialties and thats part of what makes content creators fun to watch, especially when they branch out from their specialties just to have some fun :)

[@andrzejnadgirl2029]

Also one thing to keep in mind, he constantly checks Twitch chat. Personally I wouldn't be able to play anything like that, it really makes things much harder.

[@Galacsia]

​@@TijmenZwaan I almost agree completely. In some puzzles he thinks of the correct mechanic to use and sees where to place the different portals but still struggles to solve it.

[@attention_shopping]

swag

[@purplefanta7142]

A highschooler or college student actually made the idea for this game in a school project... It was called Narbacular Drop. I remember playing it as a kid and then portal was announced. I dont remember if valve gave him any credit or payment or anything though.

[@pthewitchking]

cool info, i looked it up and valve hired the students behind the game to make portal

[@purplefanta7142]

@pthewitchking awesome to know
