"Toxin" | Perpetual Testing

[@donotrefertomeever]

This feels like a Portal2ised version of the Portal 1 Style. The stairs are pillared like the original, the doors are similar, the science bread is the same brand, and it seems more piston-y then panel-y

[@ngeruma]

i see what you mean, there is a lot of portal1 detail mixed into this and i like the phrase "more piston-y then panel-y" :)

2:41 - This part caught me so off-guard. Great editing! 4:49 - My favorite disease! 5:52 - The infamous sound of fresh disappointment! :) 11:36 - Impressive how you kept missing out on the monitor with the Portal Mapping and Modding custom logo :P 13:13 - Right?? All these folks "having OCD" are triggering my OCD! 14:19 - Not to take away from this map, but mist in goo is pretty standard for Hammer maps :P 18:53 - Having worked in a boring open office environment like this one, I find it rather unrealistic that none of these desks have sticky notes, pen and paper, random photos, and that _one_ guy who hoards all the office supplies Great video as per usual :D

[@ngeruma]

2:41 thank you :) 4:49 i will have to get you one of those special donut cushions :) 5:52 the distant splash of despair, honestly didn't think i was anywhere near enough for that to have happened. 11:36 i didn't even notice it, but no i see it's actually flashing, so yeah, my bad lol. 13:13 all these people who seemed obsessed and compelled to claim they have some kind of disorder so they have something to go on their social media profiles, i believe it's supposed to count as having a personality nowadays. 14:19 for good hammer maps right? or is it there by default and it's yet something else i've been oblivious too? 118:53 that would actually be lovely to see more of when you get to go behind the scenes like this, maps need way, way, more desk clutter. Thank you as always dude, always look forward to your comments :D

[@HyperDashYT]

My god, I just love those creative well-edited parts. You're really good at editing! 2:40

[@ngeruma]

:D glad you liked that, that one wasn't that well done though to be honest, and i have to admit to using the alexa joke before when i've seen whatever that model is supposed to be lol Thanks for watching dude!

[@Pixxeell___]

5:10 I have a keybind where it just removes him if I press “V” Unfortunately sometimes it breaks the map.

[@ngeruma]

Ok wow, so i hate Wheatley but i've never gone as far as a key bind just for deleting him from a map lol. Great idea though! Thanks for the idea and thanks for watching too!

[@winglessdraco4865]

2:47 and I'm already crying from how hard I'm laughing. What the hell why dont you have more subs?

[@ngeruma]

Really pleased you enjoyed that :D thank you so much for your comment and for watching too!

[@MrHeartbleed]

The word TOXIN is very iconic in different fictional themes.

[@ngeruma]

yeah, it often tends to play a rather important role in them too lol

[@Gaming32i]

The cake recipe on the monitors is actually also in Portal 1.

[@ngeruma]

You're right i completely forgot about it, i haven't played the portal 1 story since it came out and have a terrible memory anyway :) Thank you for watching

[@Splatatat]

Watching you play this really fun map makes me want you to play chtack's levels even more. They're all so good and the hammer mapping is some of the best I've ever seen.

[@ngeruma]

is that the one you sent me recently?

[@forbutinactive]

HOW THE HEEL DID YOU DO THAT AT 2:40 THE EDITING IS TOO GOOD

[@ngeruma]

That one was actually pretty easy, it's just some glowing shapes laid on top of the static video :)

[@Bleplar]

That intro gave me quite the chuckle

[@ngeruma]

Glad you enjoyed it :D

[@TrackLab]

This guy has uploaded almost 250 parts of very interesting commentary Portal 2 maps, 250 parts each week (I think). And yet not even 10k subs. Shows that quantity upload is in fact not everything to become big on YT. Its sheer fucking luck that the algorithms chooses you

[@ngeruma]

I have no idea why youtube decided to favour this particular video this week, and i'm grateful you were willing to give it a chance, thank you! to be fair portal is a pretty small niche for youtube content these days, but it's still easily one of my all time top favourite games and there is more content for it on the steam workshop than ever before and new mods being made and released all the time. Thank you so much for watching and for the comment too!

[@errantvice7335]

Backrooms is great, and that’s not be being biased having been a voice actor in the Kane Pixels series

[@jhance265]

I prefer the wiki backrooms, rather than the kane pixels backrooms.

[@ngeruma]

Cool, i'll have to see if i can find that and check it out :) Thanks for watching

[@Red............]

why did you switch the cubes at 15:40 ?

[@ngeruma]

Hi, sorry for the late reply. Watching back i think it was because we needed to respawn one of the cubes and the one on the lower platform was the easier to respawn because you didn't need to get up past the fizzler. However i do have a habit of making things more difficult and missing things are obvious lol, was there a better way you spotted? Thank you for watching and for commenting too!

[@evely_one]

Alexa, activate the deadly neurotoxin emitters

[@ngeruma]

I'm sorry, i'm having trouble understanding right now. please try again a little later.

[@slycooper1001]

Or alternatively Alexa just plays a fart sound instead Deadly Neurotoxin indeed

[@whytoexist9954]

I've played this map before but some part I had no idea what to do so I had to use sv_cheats 1. Maybe not, I forgot.

[@ngeruma]

this one was pretty easy really, i think it was more of a look at my hammer skill kid of map build. Thanks for watching and for commenting too :)

[@SteveBNLplays]

I really like the intro. Can’t say I’ve been in the same position though

[@ngeruma]

Dude, you've never hung out with the frankencubes?? you're missing out! :D

[@VPPF76]

I like this map style

[@ngeruma]

Me too, i always enjoy maps where you get to go behind the scenes like this, and that show off how absolutely massive Aperture is. Thanks for watching dude!

[@GLITCHEDISHERE]

Can you play my map when I'm done with it made with hammer

[@C_osmi_X]

(Talking about the heatwave in Britain in 30 degrees Celcius weather) Me (an Australian): LUCKYYYYYYYY

[@ngeruma]

I honestly have no idea how you guys in Australia can cope with the kinds of extreme heat (and other weather) that you get there. Mid 20s was considered a hot summer here until this year, and the country cant handle it lol Thank you for watching and for commenting too :)

[@badoof1944]

Portal Community Edition?

[@evely_one]

Thats odd, I remember there being a Portal 2: Community Edition

[@ngeruma]

@Badoof Check it out: store.steampowered.com/app/440000/Portal_2_Community_Edition/ It's made by some of the most talented names in the portal community, FOR the portal community. It's going to add a whole bunch more toys, mechanics, fixes, and improvements that can be used in your maps

[@savasyn]

Hmmm, it wasn't really all that clear how you feel about Wheatley. Though, reading between the lines and putting together clues, such as calling him a "blood starved hemorrhoid", I'm going to go out on a limb and guess you aren't a big fan. 🤣😜 I know, I know, we've talked about him before, but I do enjoy how worked up you get about that character. That was a cool build. Nice and easy puzzles that gave you plenty of chances to look around and appreciate the work. I would have been disappointed if there ended up being no neurotoxin. I was not disappointed!

[@ngeruma]

i was quite proud of "blood starved haemorrhoid" it's not a line you get to use often :) Yeah i think this was more of an adventure/look at my hammer work type of a map, than a puzzles map, although the 2nd puzzle whilst also pretty easy was a very nicely designed satisfying one. and i agree about the toxin, if we just went through into a lift and straight to the ratings screen it would of been a massive let down. As always, thanks dude!

[@savasyn]

I'll have to see if I can work that hemorrhoid line into a conversation. I'm sure it'd get quite the reaction! ;)

[@ngeruma]

yeah it works on many levels, like no one wants a haemorrhoid in the first place, but a blood starved one that hasn't fallen off yet!

[@Emeraude_Gamer]

Good Portal 2 video! Funny game.

[@ngeruma]

Yeah even now it's still a fantastic game!

[@user-khan005]

Good visuals and all but, why does the first puzzle look so lifeless lol Also, i highly recommend Courier by Hanky Mueller, it could be a little difficult if you're not familiar with that kinda stuff but it's a clever puzzle even for experienced players.

[@ngeruma]

The first puzzle was quite empty especially compared to the second one, it might have been more about the player potentially finding Wheatley than anything else in that bit. :) I'll have a search for Hanky Mueller's Courier in a little bit, thanks for the suggestion. Thanks for watching and for the comment too :)

[@johannes914]

Really nice maps tho traveling through the portal 2 multiverse. Keep it up 😎 My maps sucked anyway bc its been over a year or more Maybe i should just delete them idc i can make better ones (thus losing my good project that i made for over 3 or 4 years🥲)

[@ngeruma]

Which maps were those?

[@aliensisepic]

@@ngeruma back to normal chambers i love your chamber play through into the portal 2 multiverse but for this Friday can you pls do mine? Its been over a year prob over 3 or 4 years and mine has not been picked i can delete my chambers if you like. (Bc some players dont like pick a door) but i have good puzzles especially on number 9? Or 10 idk but i really hope you pick it this Friday. If not thats ok bc the list keeps growing and growing thus my chances of being picked gets lower and lower which makes me sad ngl (not litteraly sad but you get the picture) and if some of them says read desc don’t actually read them it was just some dumb description i made when i was a kid back then. Anyway keep on and continue testing. Cave johnson (not really), were done here

[@aliensisepic]

A 10 map collection from your list idk which ones have puzzles its been years but ik that i think 9 has the biggest one and i wanna see how much deaths you get from all 10

[@ngeruma]

Please accept my sincere apologies, that is a very long time. i'll see if i can do them soon, it won't be Friday though sorry, i currently only have enough free time to do one video a week. As soon as i have the time i want to get back in to regularly doing mods and collection videos.

[@stacksmasherninja7266]

11:31 you could possibly go up by putting a cube on the lightbridge and jumping on the cube. there could be a portal on the other side of the vent. not too sure, haven't played the map myself. I have a theory that you actually ARE the Wheatley in human body. You yourself said it. You have a cute british accent just like him. You waste cubes to rile up manufacturing. I think you just hate Wheatley (the blue little git) so that it isn't too obvious for us. Nobody except Wheatley would hate Wheatley so much for the mistakes he made in the past. Heck, you even "roasted" Amazon Echo at 2:40 (great editing btw). You never paid to attention to the monitors even though the cake recipe on those monitors have existed since Portal 1! You torment turrets by making them watch the corner. You make pesky jokes like "Fun at expense of Bezos but the bastard can afford it". Tell me one reason why you are NOT older-more-mature-but-still-love-my-teen-days Wheatley "science bread" Great map and great video. Fairly straightfoward puzzle but really good hammer work.

[@ngeruma]

didn't think of that as a way to get in there, i did check after playing with noclip and there was nothing hidden in any of those vents anyway unfortunately. fun fact though, noclipping in this map can completely crash the game :) I assure you, no matter what people might tell you, no matter what the inquiry claimed, no matter about all the scandalous and aggressive rumour campaigns, i can assure you that i'am in no way, nor have i ever been an Aperture Core, i'am in-fact total genuine, people fleshed humans.
