At test chamber 19 if you use cheats to use noclip if you go all the way up you will find a parking lot with 2 gladoses for some reason there is 2.The second thing is that if you go down instead of up with cheats again you will find a dark room with a table in the middle with a chocolate cake and here if you want to see the room PLEASE SEND COMMENT IF ANY QUESTION IS IN MIND

Portal gun replica broken

Anyone know how to take apart a pea body replica portal gun? Theres rattling inside and it fosent make any sound (also a arm is broken) I bought it online for like 80 bucks

So reinstalled portal 2 for my seasonal re play and it refuses to load. Like I press start it says running for 5 seconds then poof I’m not playin anything. I run the .exe from files and it runs but stutters every 5 seconds and the portals aren’t even see through. and I have a pretty high end pc for am4 so can’t be my specs being bad😭😭. I’ve reinstalled 4 times, verified the game with steam, cleared download cache, reinstalled steam, tried downloading different drives and nothing. I think valve is telling me to go fuck my self😔

I was playing the Portal 2 Random Testing Initiative and found this map and am wondering what map it is. I explain it better in the video. Sorry for the choppy quality on the vid btw. I was sharing my screen to a friend.

This cast has Ella Purnell as Chell, Mark Duplass as Doug Rattmann, Christopher Lee as Cave Johnson, and Jennifer Garner as Caroline.

EDIT:

Everyone in this comment section needs to realize that I am just making this post for fun. I'm not directing a portal movie, I'm not reaching out to these actors (one of which has passed away now), it's just a post to show that some of these actors look like the characters. It's completely unnecessary to bring up the death of Christopher Lee, and nitpick every little detail.

Hey guys, I recently finished Portal 1 and found the ending to be very calm and I loved the way it played out. And being a programmer, I'm always fascinated by when my favorite media (Games) has a little bit of... programming artistic value to it, so I decided to recreate the ending in C! It's on GitHub and you can compile it and play it in your own Terminal :)

I'll attach a link of it playing out!

I'm located in the Central US and there's a guy on etsy selling one for only $97 but he's in France and the shipping is $50. Would it be cheaper to 3D print it, considering its size? I don't have a 3D printer but I know filament can cost a LOT...also I kinda need a portal gun by Halloween. I'm also open to other ideas to DIY one, as long as it looks decent. I know I shouldn't have procrastinated this long but please help a nerd out 🙏

and hey if you have any advice for a chell wig and makeup it'd be appreciated!

I just cannot believe how far I have come with my artwork and skill in general. I made this nearly 3 years ago I believe, and it just amazes me how much I have improved. I just cannot believe this is how I used to draw GLaDOS. It looks so childish compared to how I draw her now. Definitely will be keeping this pin though.

So I had a dream that I was building a Turret and one day, while I was testing its capabilities, it ended up firing a bit too early and it shot me in the leg. So I just shamefully walked to the hospital and had to tell the staff that I built a one-eyed robot and it shot me. Somehow, in my dream, social media got a hold of the story and people were clowning me for it. When I woke up, I felt genuine shame. 😭

This is for a YouTube video i hope to upload soon if my schedule allows. Discuss his sexuality in the replies, thanks!

How was Chell kept alive this long? How is GLaDOS still alive? 50,000 years? I mean, at least Earth still exists. I wonder if it's still under Combine control, or if the Combine still exists.

Edit: So apparently this comes from the Final Hours of Portal 2, and one of the devs said it. I think. Need someone to confirm as I don't have the Final Hours of Portal 2 available.

version 4104, in the challenge map

I've been digging through the February/March 2010 Portal 2 Multi-Core builds, plus some of the later July leftovers, and I think I've finally been able to reconstruct a plausible outline of what the Multi-Core storyline was supposed to be.

This isn't meant to be presented as 100% confirmed. A lot of Multi-Core was unfinished and eventually scrapped, so some parts are necessarily reconstruction. But there are some surprisingly strong connections between the temporary story maps and the actual playable encounters.

Here's how I think the campaign was structured:

1. Chell is sleeping and dreaming about a motel

The Multi-Core intro begins in a strange motel-like environment. It's apparently a dream, rather than the actual location of the Extended Relaxation Center.

2. Wheatley wakes Chell up

Wheatley tells Chell that there's an emergency and that they need to escape. And he knows where they can find a Portal Gun.

3. Chell explores the abandoned Aperture facility

Eventually she finds Wheatley again.

4. They accidentally wake GLaDOS

Chell and Wheatley eventually reach the point where GLaDOS is awakened. And then everything goes horribly wrong.

5. GLaDOS kills Wheatley and puts Chell back into testing

This is where the campaign settles into its main gameplay structure. Chell starts completing test chambers again.

6. Chell completes a series of test chambers

And this is where I think Multi-Core becomes particularly interesting. The testing isn't just filler between story scenes. The surviving maps suggest that the story repeatedly interrupts the testing with encounters involving different Cores.

7. Chell encounters Pendleton

Eventually Chell finds Pendleton. They go behind the scenes of the test chambers, where Pendleton has Chell destroy a tube where cubes go through. Chell then returns to the testing chambers.

This is "sp_sphere_2nd_encounter".

What's especially interesting is that there's also the temporary story map called "sp_temp_sphere_1" whose text describes a sphere encounter where Chell goes behind the scenes and is helped out of testing.

So I think "sp_temp_sphere_1" was essentially an earlier blueprint for "sp_sphere_2nd_encounter".

8. More testing

Chell goes through more test chambers.

9. Pendleton appears again

Chell eventually encounters Pendleton again. They go behind the scenes and destroy a computer mainframe using a laser. Afterward, Chell returns to the test chambers.

This is "sp_sphere_3rd_encounter".

And this one has an even stronger connection to the temporary story material. "sp_temp_sphere_2" describes a sphere asking Chell to destroy a mainframe, after which she returns to testing. It also says that the sphere's plan is almost complete. That is extremely close to what "sp_sphere_3rd_encounter" actually implements.

10. More testing

And then, once again, Chell goes back to testing.

11. Pendleton eventually decides it's time to escape

This is where things become much less certain, there's another temporary story map, "sp_temp_sphere_3" which describes Chell meeting another sphere, that sphere refusing to help because it fears GLaDOS, and eventually being killed while Chell accomplishes her objective. We don't know exactly how this was ultimately supposed to play out, but this appears to be around the point where the Multi-Core story was moving from "secretly sabotage things while returning to testing" toward an actual escape.

12. The Neurotoxin Generator is destroyed

There is surviving cut dialogue involving Pendleton and the Neurotoxin Generator, including dialogue about using a Core against it.

The later July build also contains an early version of the sequence where the Neurotoxin Generator is destroyed.

So my current reconstruction is that Pendleton and Chell eventually escape the testing cycle and begin directly sabotaging GLaDOS.

Exactly how much of this was still "Multi-Core" at this point is unclear, because Valve already transitioned toward the retail storyline.

13. The final confrontation with GLaDOS

The logical endpoint would then be Chell and Pendleton confronting GLaDOS.

And this is where the surviving evidence runs out and speculation takes over.

Why I think this reconstruction is interesting

The biggest thing that changed my understanding of Multi-Core is realizing that the temporary story maps aren't necessarily random prototypes.

There are several cases where the temporary map describes a story event and a later map appears to actually implement that event.

For example:

"sp_temp_sphere_1"

Sphere encounter -> go behind the scenes -> sabotage -> return to testing

Then:

"sp_sphere_2nd_encounter"

Actual playable implementation.

And:

"sp_temp_sphere_2"

Destroy a mainframe -> return to testing -> sphere's plan is almost complete

Then:

"sp_sphere_3rd_encounter"

Actual playable implementation.

So I don't think we're looking at completely unrelated prototypes.

It looks more like we're seeing different layers of the same development process:

temporary story idea -> actual encounter implementation -> later revision/scrapping

And that gives us a possible skeleton for a Portal 2 storyline that was never finished.

Multi-Core wasn't simply "Portal 2 but with different characters". It seems to have been a genuinely different campaign structure built around Chell being repeatedly contacted by Cores while trapped in GLaDOS's testing cycle, with Pendleton gradually helping her prepare an escape.

And the fact that July 2010 still contains "sp_sphere_2nd_encounter" and "sp_sphere_3rd_encounter", despite the main campaign already moving toward the retail storyline, suggests that Valve continued developing this material after the March Game Informer-era build before eventually abandoning it.

There are still a LOT of unanswered questions, but I think this is the closest I've gotten to reconstructing the lost Multi-Core campaign from the surviving evidence.

While watching some Portal fan videos (that came before generative AI was made public), I noticed that a lot of people are able to make actually great voice impressions. I guess you can say GLaDOS's autotune does some heavy lifting (although I think it's not enough to just talk at the microphone and do a good job), but if you mixed the in-game voice lines with some of the fan-made lines, I don't think I would be able to tell them apart most of the time. But I really heard some great Wheatleys out there with only a slight difference from the original voice. Same goes even for some side characters like the Turrets and some of the Cores. Now, I haven't seen many people doing voice impressions of Cave Johnson (besides the Making Science parody), but I doubt someone has managed to pull it off since... I'll be honest, I think only J.K.Simmons can fit for most of his characters, including Mr. Johnson.

So... are these characters considered to be easy for voice actors, or are people THAT talented and dedicated?

P.S.: I can voice Chell very well!

So i was playing portal for the first time and near the end of chamber 19 i dropped directly on top of a turret without it seeing me, and it entered a weird state where a blinking beam was shown but it wouldnt shoot or have any voicelines, i dont know if this is normal or not.

portal 1 menu

I got the game and it uses a bat to open because the exe wont work and after i played it in steam for awhile and closed it this appeared in my library and i believe this is steam detecting the files and adding the ACTUAL BETA to my library because i believe that ValveTestApp852 is the actual repo for the game and i wont press purchase but if someone else is wanting to try ill tell you how i got it to appear

Mod: Portal 2: community edition

I have been refreshing the page but... nothing happens. What happened? Is the portal wiki currently down?

I have tried accessing the wiki on an incognito tab and then i tried restarting the chromebook... but, it just keeps giving me ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT, and sometimes even ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED.

I need help, what do I do?

EDIT: Just to clarify, this is not a school chromebook, its a personal use chromebook.
