The message you talk about at 16:11 is what appeared on the site right after the potato sack ARG had been "solved" but before it swapped to the GLaDOS@Home one, where all the collected potatoes contributed to "rebooting" GLaDOS. I definitely remember seeing that message after completing the potato sack ARG myself. The "I know its arriving later than expected" is because everyone was speculating that solving the ARG would end with Valve releasing Portal 2 immediately/days early, but in the end it only sped up the release time by about 10-15 minutes or something. Either way it was something really cool to be a part of, and very memorable (and as a bonus I now get all of Valve's games free for life on my steam account!)

I mean recently the creators of Portal have talked about wanting to make a third game and even a movie, they just need to get a team together so there's still hope. Correct me if I'm wrong but most of Valve's games were made for mainly the purpose of trying out new technology. I mean Portal 2 was made for improved graphics, Half-Life: Alyx was made for VR and now we have the Steam Deck so possibly we could get a full-on Portal 3 for the console~

I always thought a good idea for a sequel would involve GLaDoS needing chell to assist her... Like say she gets a virus, and needs chell to do her thing, and kill it. How? By using a special headset to enter her code itself, testing in a NEW environment making use of a different KIND of portal. Thus no worry about nausea or anything. Start in an dilapidated home, where chell does the initial movement/usage tutorial, etc. Ends up attacked by some robots trying to bring her back, she fights them off, etc. Gets a recorded message from her, uses the provided device to end up back.. Turrets are deployed accidentally but they are obviously glitchy, broken speech, erratic movement, etc. Proving to chell that she really DID need her help, not to worry though after Wheatley's occurence she made modifications to make the reactors self sustaining to prevent ANY potential meltdown while chell is in the code. Chell goes in, destroys some errored code, malicious code, etc. Then finds the cause of her glitches... From a source unexpected... INSIDE aperture itself. A person who found themselves in a similar situation as caroline, but in an older body. Lost to time. Cave Johnson who the scientist decided to give him what he wanted... But NOT the facility, leaving him abandoned forever alive in old aperture. This drove him to try to HACK back into control, inadvertently causing the whole Glados murder event, etc. Defeating him in the mainframe results in glados shutting down and rebooting to finalize the changes after chell exits the code in a sleep state. *The mental strain was strong due to it being an experimental gadget* When chell wakes up, she is not greeted by a robot... But a human, a bunch of them. They say hello, tell her SHE is waiting for you in her chamber. You would then enter the room, and find a new robot walking around.. Who would then approach you with a familiar voice saying their thanks and saying how it seems that annoyance actually caused her to want to harm people and not just for science. Her new goal is to actually bring Aperture BACK, humans and robots working in peace to bring about advancements.

@@Ubreakable-lr2dk half life: Alyx is really amazing, I just love the whole half life/portal lore and alyx also was very good! Unfortunately it was to push their VR sales which are going down rapidly, because somehow PCVR isn’t catching on, even if it’s amazing technology. It’s very sad in my opinion because VR truly is the future and people spend 1000$ on a computer monitor and even more on TVs but think it’s unreasonable for a VR headset to cost that? The experience with VR is so much better and absolutely unique, so the price is definitely acceptable for a high end VR Headset. I don’t know about elden ring, as a traditional rpg player I highly dislike it. Super weird huge weapons. Super weird huge bosses. A world that never looks pretty and always weirdly dark and the story is very bad. Every western rpg is much better than elden ring, maybe Japanese people like this stuff and because manga/anime is all the rage now for kiddies out there they think it’s cool if rpgs are like that. I’m hoping for the elder scrolls 6 as the next big amazing rpg! The Witcher was great, but it also was a bit to much action for my taste. My favorite single player rpgs are still the elder scrolls series and the gothic series. It would be amazing if gothic came back, it was one of the best fantasy rpg franchises!

Favourite letter answer according to ChatGPT: To solve this problem, let's analyze the given information step by step: 1. We know that Sally, Dwayne, Anthony, David, and Franklin are exactly 10 years apart in age. 2. Let's assume the age of the youngest person, David, as "D" years. 3. Sally is two years older than David, so her age would be "D + 2" years. 4. Dwayne, Anthony, and Franklin's ages can be expressed as multiples of 10 years added to David's age: - Dwayne's age: "D + 10x" years - Anthony's age: "D + 10y" years - Franklin's age: "D + 10z" years Now, let's consider the favorite letters: 1. David's favorite letter is 'g'. 2. Anthony's favorite letter is also 'g'. 3. Dwayne insists that he likes all the letters equally except for 's'. 4. Sally's favorite letter is not mentioned explicitly. 5. Franklin's favorite letter is the missing piece of information we need to find. Since Dwayne likes all the letters except for 's', we can assume that his favorite letter is any letter other than 's'. Therefore, we can assign Dwayne the letter 'g' as well. Now, we have the following information: - David's favorite letter: 'g' - Dwayne's favorite letter: 'g' - Anthony's favorite letter: 'g' Given that three of the five people have their favorite letter as 'g', it would be reasonable to assume that Franklin's favorite letter is 'g' as well. Therefore, Franklin's favorite letter is 'g'.

Been binging these Valve game history/timeline videos and it really hit me just how great Valve used to be and how quiet they've been since Portal 2. I followed every leak about Portal 3 and Left 4 Dead 3, saw the pictures and screenshots of their work on L4D3 with Source 2, etc. I lost all hope when Marc Laidlaw left Valve but then I was finally excited when HL Alyx came out thinking they were finally gonna start working on games again and then AGAIN we were greeted with nothing but radio silence. Growing up with the HL universe and adoring it for being one of the most original IP's to exist and how everything is seemingly tied together by little hints and clues scattered through each game has kept me hooked and then it just stopped, I'm worried we'll never see a continuation or ending as all the original story writers and devs at Valve get older and older and start to retire. It's been over a decade since we had any real development in the story and HL Alyx was just one big retconn so it doesn't really count. And I keep hearing these stories about how so and so higher up dev at Valve wants to make a new L4D or new Portal or new Half Life but they're not being given the man power to start the project so it just makes me wonder what the heck is going on over there that's keeping everyone so busy that they can't actually make games anymore.

Atleast half life alyx actually came to fruition, it shouldn't have restored your faith tho, not with their track record lol, abolish those expectations because as you said yourself all the ogs are gone it'll just never be quite the same

@@imonke5303 Yeah my thought process when Alyx was announced was; New engine, new HL game. Maybe they'll actually start dropping new games again but nope. And don't get me wrong, I'm glad HLA at least pushed the story further but all we really got was a change in Episode 2's ending and like 3 extra seconds of actual story continuation. HLA proved they can still make a game and continue the story with who they have currently but they need to actually continue the games/story.

I don’t know if you do like speculative theories but I remember when before JJ Abram’s movie Super 8 came out, there was an interactive feature in the game of portal 2 I guess in like the extras menu? It was years ago so my memory might be hazy but I remember it involved the train crash from the movie and the alien that broke free. I was wondering what your thoughts were on it?
