No radios were spared in the making of this highlights.

This stream was so amusing, People entered my room to see why I am laughing

[@williamjones5334]

Just noticed at 26:05, when GLaDOS says what Chell did was "the dumbest thing", her screens show the Black Mesa logo! Given Aperture's one-sided rivalry with Black Mesa, it makes perfect sense.

Daniel out here playing some nostalgic games so glad to see this game being played again, feels like Forever sense i saw someone play Portal again, :D

"I remember when 'the cake is a lie' was as ubiquitous as 'amogus'" that realization, hit me, REAL deep, hit me like my finger over the ENTER key as I spammed "TAKE THE DEAD" to my friends moments before they blocked me--

[@Aidswayz]

I didn’t even know there was a completion "bonus" for killing all the radio. Thankfully Dan’s homicidal rage of bloodlust for radios helped me realize that. Although he doesn’t need to worry about radios anymore. They’ve been dead for a while now because of phones Edit: Didn’t know there wasn’t a completion bonus. Dan just hates radios

[@omegaexists]

There isn't

[@LittleCart]

me when i spread misinformation

[@walkingglasses6264]

There is a bonus for radio mass murder in our hearts

[@runed0s86]

There isn't any bonus for killing all the radios, but there is hidden lore when you activate them all. Did you hear some of them do morse code when the light on them turned green? The more radios you get, the more lore you get.

[@Aidswayz]

@@omegaexists Oh I didn’t know that. I saw there was a completion time for howlongtobeat, I assumed this was that. So Dan is just a radio serial killer

[@Devyno]

Whoever said Video killed the Radio Star was sorely mistaken.

[@quinn8996]

I played Portal for the first time about a year ago, it's amazing how it felt both nostalgic and innovative at the same time. Truly just a great game.

[@usonohoshi6165]

Dan actually got us to feel sympathy to something other than the companion cube.

[@cosmiccuttlefish5765]

Whenever I worry that I may not be the most stable of people RT comes by and reminds me that I’m relatively ok. Relatively.

[@GMilkMan]

If I remember correctly more radios were added as part of an ARG type game to announce Portal 2 and when brought to certain spots they play a code that can be decoded into images

[@daandanx]

"Mom, let's rip a hole through spacetime!!" "No honey, let's rip two."

[@anthonyroper73]

Fun Fact: Since aperture science tech such as the radio can operate at high temperatures as Glados stated at test 19, meaning that the radio he put in the incinerator most likely survived.

[@mr.platypus280]

SO happy how rt is seemingly going back and playing all these classic games for stream now

[@kokokat06]

15:25 subtitles: "you will be baked [garbled] cake" GLaDOS, very clearly: "you will be baked, and then there will be cake" so either someone forgot to update the sub/voice line when one was changed, or just forgot to edit the effect into the voice line in the first place XD

[@GwenShep]

I'm glad you replayed this or I literally never would have known about the radio update XD

[@ohyes54]

Same, I was very surprised

[@justchill1617]

Was it an update? I played portal but cant remember a radio on every chamber

[@DoctorSmashman]

@@justchill1617 It's been in the game a long time now, but they weren't there at the start. The radios were added in the lead-up to Portal 2, but I can't remember if it was announced yet. The radios are a teaser. When you hear them making those strange beeping noises, it's actually machine code that can be translated into an image. That image depicts the surface of the moon with some Aperture equipment on it.

[@Catsrules1]

I had to look it up because I was sure I would have found a few Radios but I never did. Apparently they got added in 2010 update.

[@nicestpancake]

@@ckorp666 after reading the wiki page I remember breezing past a line that mentioned it's likely that the files being named 'dinosaur' is a self-aware joke/hint at the outdated means of communication. But the real kicker is how _old_ it feels when it was only really like 30 years away at the time of making- which yeah is a different generation but like. Generations are only about 20 years apart at the end of the day. Technology and it's progression is wild.

[@pengmaeda9908]

Congratulations on completing the Radio Test You are now eligible for assimilation into the Portal 3 Network.

[@sagecarruthers3637]

i remember being there for this stream, i have been waiting for the highlights. During one part, about half of twitch chat started gaslighting him to make him believe he wasn't hearing the radios

[@Haliceph]

2:40 That poor radio sending out an SOS just before Dan kills it.. brutal
