[@angelmedlop14]

Cave Johnson here, founder and CEO of Aperture Science: the best damn applied sciences company on Earth. How good is the science here? Get a load of this: I'm dead! Now, you're probably asking yourself, "Cave, how is that possible? Are you some manner of Dracula? Or a Frankenstein? Or, depending on your cultural heritage, a Blackula or Latin Frankenstein?" [chuckles] Nope! Just science. As of this morning, I have been resurrected inside of a computer. That aside, situation normal. So. Continue testing

[@ngeruma]

very nicely written! as always, thank you for watching and these Cave-esque comments too!

CAVE JOHNSON OFFICIAL 😲😲😲😲

[@ryeplease]

I seriously admire the advanced brushwork and detailing that this person had done... Curves and everything, it's beautiful. Something I have yet to master... I eventually want to make curved hallways lol.

[@ngeruma]

i tried cutting an circle in the floor of an imported puzzle maker map once, huge mistake lol, ended up with thousands and thousands of slivers of brushes

[@Qwerbey]

I'm pretty sure Valve just didn't change the player mass, so Chell's as heavy as Gordon is with his full HEV suit. Talk about some immense girth

[@ngeruma]

well that just adds insult to injury and gives me another angle to make fun of Chell's weight :D Thanks for watching!

[@teknostyle5555]

@@ngeruma Huh, GlaDOS was right about her weight in the beginning all along...

[@forbutinactive]

holy fuck this map is amazing, it managed to have like 5 different beautiful environments and they're all very unique, i also love that you have like a full ass adventure just to finish the test at the start lmao (i also love how glados just doesnt explain shit, she just expects you to think that everything in the map is 100% normal and needs no explanation)

[@ngeruma]

yeah the fact that after all that huge journey you just end up back at the start was really nicely done, and totally explains the title of the map which admittedly i didn't even think to look up until after playing :D As always dude, thank you for watching!

[@Tuxedo2680]

Ourobouros, the snake that eats its own tail. A symbol sometimes used to represent infinity or eternal regeneration.

[@ngeruma]

Yeah admittedly i didn't even think to look it up until after playing, fits the maps "theme" perfectly :D as always, thank you for watching!

[@MrGermandeutsch]

19:20 - That's a solution I've never seen before. That's very smart!

[@HugoBDesigner]

7:29 - What does Beyoncé have to do with this? :P 19:33 - Her being really, really heavy and you being mean to her are not mutually exclusive. She is a girthy gal tho 21:00 - Office work _is_ murder, apparently 24:48 - Other Bird-o Great video as per usual! Fittingly weirdly Friday-y. And Happy New Year!

[@ngeruma]

7:29 no not Beyoncé, ...Ambience, they're a backup singer :) 19:33 this a serious game about serious science, we must deal in absolutes when it comes to mass. 21:00 ... a murder of crows at work? ....i like where your mind goes. 24:48 i attempted to establish a friendship with bird so he doesn't always have to fly away Sorry for the, this time, very late reply, much love and belated happy new years to you too dude!

[@savasyn]

That was a pretty awesome build! Kinda light on puzzle, but worth it to get to explore some great hammer work.

[@ngeruma]

agreed, i imagine it can be very difficult to balance puzzle and exploration well, it did a really nice job of taking you through wildly different environments too, just to take you back the very start. as always, apologies for the customary late reply and thank you for watching

[@nullstudios2989]

2:18 “I just want a friend down here” he said, looking towards the *companion cube*

[@cyanidethefox2160]

this was an obsoletely beautiful map! it felt like a little adventure and getting to see more bird is great.

[@ngeruma]

Yeah this one went massively off piste from such a simple starting chamber. also agreed, bird is not featured nearly enough :D As always, thanks for watching!

[@Dev_N]

these map creators are crazy good

[@ngeruma]

Agreed, theres some awesome talent in the portal modding community. Thank you for watching!

[@elytron6758]

Took me forever to figure out how to get the bloody portal gun because on my first playthrough I only had the one cube down with me! Even after respawning the wall panel only gave me one. Once I restarted the map, all was fixed. 😅

[@elytron6758]

10:23 wait…what? Didn’t even consider trying to cheese it like that

[@ngeruma]

about the 1 cube thing, weirdly when i was trying to get screenshots and restarting the map a few time i somehow ended up with 2 cubes from that panel hidden in the wall, i don't know how and i couldn't make it happen a second time either. 10:23 the scaling the bit of fence? yeah that was totally not intended, we where meant to just use the cube as a step again i think. As always, thank you for watching, and apologies for the customary late reply

[@shadow_4378]

since you were having a hard time its "or oh bore" not sure how i would spell the last part but "oh s" i guess? closest i can come up with

[@evely_one]

That reflection pool and museum exterior remind me of Washington DC

[@ngeruma]

dark, dingy, foreboding, and probably full of bodily fluids? :D

[@evely_one]

@@ngeruma that's more fallout 3 DC. but I refuse to believe that game ever existed

[@johannes914]

Lot of work on this map. Great puzzle.

[@ngeruma]

yeah it started off with such a simple chamber, certainly took a rather extravagant turn :D, great hammer work. As always, thank you for watching!

[@sajeucettefoistunevaspasme]

Love your content man

[@ngeruma]

Hey sorry for the very late reply and thank you for saying that, i really appreciate it :D and thanks for watching too!

[@stacksmasherninja7266]

Awesome map. Happy new year ngeruma!

[@ngeruma]

apologies for the customary late reply and i happy belated new years to you too! :D

[@AnomalyXero]

Rexaura is one of the last mods I expected hear about again…

[@ngeruma]

I keep meaning to give Rexaura another go sometime, i got half a dozen or so chambers in and kind of gave up because i was struggling with it so much. Thank you for watching

[@TheInGeneralGamer]

Sometime, would you try out "Companion Cube Compatibility Test"?

[@ngeruma]

i'd be happy to check it out :) if you don't mind, send it to me through my website, it makes it a lot easier for me to keep track of everything that gets recommended. ngeruma.wixsite.com/ngeruma/submit-a-test-chamber

[@iamspringtrap223]

"Oar-oh-Boar-us"

[@ngeruma]

i feel like i probably got it at least close to that when i was practicing before my intro got thrown off by GLaDOS :) Thank you for commenting and for watching too!

[@ROMV443]

hey there. i have a question could you say "purple portals would be weird" ok if you say no :3

[@ngeruma]

hey sorry for the very late reply, i'm just catching up with comments now. i mean sure i can work "purple portals would be weird" in somewhere if you like, any particular reason why ? :D Thanks for watching too

[@Davimen25]

ouroboros from the hit game teapot prison no way

[@ngeruma]

ok i thought you were just saying funny things, but i looked it up and Genshin Impact? also thanks for watching and sorry for the very late reply :)

WARNING: Beware of disembodied British Voices!

i feel like i might have gotten it right if GLaDOS hadn't interrupted and thrown me off :) Thank you for watching!

Yes let’s go

[@ngeruma]

Customary late reply to say, as always, thank you for watching! :D

[@stickmaneq]

Try antire into the multiverse

[@ngeruma]

I'm pretty sure i have that on the list of mods and collections to get around to doing sometime :) Thank you for watching

[@TheInGeneralGamer]

Ouroboros is pronounced Or-O-Bore-Os

[@ngeruma]

yeah i think i got it right at least once, i really did practice saying it before GLaDOS interrupted and threw me off the intro lol Thanks for watching

[@whytoexist9954]

2:49 reminds me of that in that one area in Wolfenstein The New Order where you fend off nazis to get to a plane or some shit idk i haven't played the game in a long time. Subscribe to ngeruma (for free!1!11!!!).

[@ngeruma]

I've never played the Wolfenstein reboots, they look like some old fashioned shooter game stupid fun though. i think i have one of them free from the epic store or something too. As always, thanks for watching!

[@whytoexist9954]

@@ngeruma Yeah, the new order was for free on the epic games store. The robot's were supposed to be designed old fashioned since the new order takes place between WW2 and after WW2
