Over 3 Hours of Portal Lore

[@Skyrionn]

Welcome Test Subject. This is a compilation of some of my previous videos. I asked in a poll if you'd like it and thought I would give it a go! I do have a huge timeline in the works on a different game that I am hoping to post in the next week or so. Rip and Tear.

Portal, in my opinion, has been one of the best series’ Valve has created, it has comedy and dark tones, a perfect balance.

[@bazuso___]

I’d like to thank you for your selfless brevity at the beginning of the video. No halfbaked quips no sponsors. Don’t want you to feel pressured to never do anything else for an intro but sometimes minimalism is nice!

[@Skyrionn]

For a compilation, it just made sense. However for the normal videos, I do think I'll keep the intros the same. I've found that some people have never explored this universe and it's a great way for them to be introduced to it. Thanks for watching!

I really like how Doug is the one who says you can always ignore your conscious, but when Chell was being dragged in and he could have left the cube is the one telling him to leave. To ignore his conscious like Glados essentially. He instead still chooses to follow it and save her despite whatever it'd bring to him. Edit: I forgot to actually conclude my statement- I find this interesting because the cube becomes his conscious and guide essentially. So he's both following his actual conscious and disregarding his physical representation of one.

[@geordiejones5618]

Doug's story needs to be adapted. It's absurd horror and it's very well done.

I keep waking up to this man every morning. Currently auto play has played this a second time in a row. If I were to watch both videos, that would be six hours of portal lore I didn’t need to know.

[@ninaballerina3367]

I've played a lot of games, but both of the portal games are still in my top 10 easily. The atmosphere, mysteries, humor and nostalgia for a time I haven't lived in makes me start them up again every couple of years. I think it's awesome that you're still covering these older games as they truly are amazing and it's fun to see all the tiny bits of lore given to us tied together so nicely!

[@ENDERTHELF]

Portals are top 5 for me, minecraft, terraria and mario wonder being the other 3

[@Doctor1245main]

Portal and Portal 2 are tied for my favorite games of all time, but I might be a bit biased since Portal was the first game I ever played.

[@hhjhj393]

The portal games are indeed on my top games list. Imo the story telling is excellent, the atmosphere, the gameplay is fun and inventive, and I like how both Portal games RESPECT the players experience. They are short but packed with greatness, unlike most modern games that are long but just skinner boxes designed to steal money from players. These games are some of the last triple a games that actually respected the player and the player experience.

[@LibbyB]

Bloody hell sky I always listen to your lore and tid bits videos on the way to work but it doesn't take 3 hours to get there! You put in so much effort and it shows my man. Can't wait to start this one as soon as I finish today.

[@madladam]

@@fusionberry7332 I'm glad! Portal is an essential part of my childhood. But buddy, don't go giving your current age on the Internet, especially before you're 18. Me personally, I'd edit your reply to take out your current age. Word of advice: just because someone shared something slightly vulnerable (like I did), doesn't mean they're automatically your friend. It's great to keep conversations friendly, but don't share any personal information like your age, name, or residence. Just keep your head up and stay safe out there, and always remember: We do what we must because we can.

I particularly enjoy listening to the overlap between stories in different contexts since this overlap opens my eyes to the giant picture that the Portal games encapsulate with their storytelling. Great video

[@orbitaloutcast9878]

Rattmann's story is sad, yet beautiful. In a way, death would be a merciful fate, but seeing him living on to help chell from the shadows is wonderful. I think rattmann living in constant fear is also sad and upsetting... But, seeing how his morals and psychology works, he seems - in a way, like he isn't completely mad, but an empathetic heart broken man on the inside. His fortitude, his wit, and his growth can be felt through the comics, it gives necessary context, foreshadowing and backstory to the rat dens throughout the two games. All hail rattmann

[@YeahJustAdam]

Portal 2 is the first game my parents ever bought me and will forever hold a special place for it in my heart. It has not only nostalgic value but has overall formed my sense of humor and set the standarts of games i would later go on and play. Truly a masterpiece a will never forget.

[@AnCapGamer]

11:15 fun fact, this scene is the ONLY SCENE where a portal CAN EXIST on a moving surface. Literally anywhere else, a portal can not form/exist on moving surfaces!

I absolutely love this compilation so much. There's so many interesting aspects of Portal lore and the in-world history. Minor criticism tho: it would help to add more sentence variation. Most sentences seem to follow the "verbing the noun, there was an effect on the subject" style. Thank you so much for compiling all these lore videos 💖

[@Skyrionn]

Thanks for watching the video! I'll have to look into what you've said. I will say that this is a collection of older videos, I hope you'll find that I have improved the scripting side of this in my more recent videos :)

[@Umbra101]

The portal series is one of if not my favorite video game series EVER! I am soo happy to be able to play this game. And with Skyrionn, the portal lore is more clear than ever. Thank you skyrionn ❤

[@East16]

I want you to know that i had previously quit playing portal when i was younger and then forgot about it, but then recently after finding your content, and watching that whole masterpiece of the halflife/portal timeline, you reinspired me to finish portal games, and even try the half life games. And i have to say after finishing most of the half life and portal games (still have to do hl2 ep2) it was the greatest experience in gaming of my life, especially with your lore videos in the background. I dont think i would have given either a second thought to those games if not for your videos, as i am a wee child of 18 years, and so half life 1 was before my time, and half life 2 was released 1 month before my birth. So all that to say thank you for rekindling my love for story games, and opening my view on such games 😊. (Also of the games i rate HL1 9/10, HL2 (base, ep1) 11/10, portal 1 9/10, and portal 2 10/10)

1:05:30 Tbf Doug was lucky since he wouldn't have been the one of many who'd later get forced to end up being a plaything for the Combine in the Universe...at least the lad did his best and did what was morally right even if he had a major disadvantage that had a majorly awful but especially an useful impact on him...he's an unsung hero of Portal and a person that deserved better than just a possible deth...just saying that the deth possibly saved him from being firced to live through the Combines invasion and later control of Earth...hebstill did the best he could even if he did not know what would have happened later if he just had escaped and lived on till the 7hour war happened...

[@portalsandmagicghostnumbercube]

There are only three types of portal techniques, technologies and hyper-technologies: Photographic Portals, Televisual Portals and Cosmic Portals. I'm currently at work on a very crude and not very impressive model of a Photographic Portal, scaled down significantly to fit in my living room. Though it could very well be made life sized and the basic idea behind it- invisibility and holodecks are inverse forms of each other and holodecks are a by-product of sending light thru an object, invisibility, you can even apply the geometric proof of this to Televisual Portal technologies, using optical electronics and modified light-fields. After this, I can only speculate on a hyper-technology capable of turning a Televisual Portal into a Cosmic Portal. All three kinds manipulate reality in low to high-tech and beyond.

I just thought about it, what was the reasoning behind the “Anger Core” because to me that just sounds like a red flag. If GLaDOS is attempting, multiple times in fact, to kill literally everyone in the facility. Why would you intentionally add something onto her chassis with the sole purpose of giving her artificial anger? Pissing her off isn’t going to make her any less likely to kill everyone, it just means she won’t be as “kind” when doing it. She was already angry given the whole Caroline thing, so this just sounds like a bad idea.
