Portal 2

[Odin'sLaw]

Before the events of Half-Life, Aperture Science was a defense contractor competing with Black Mesa. One of their inventions is a gun which can shoot portals which create a shortcut in space between two oval-shaped windows, while preserving momentum. Now that shit has gone down with the Combine, the facilities have been abandoned by human staff. All that is left are cryogenically suspended test subjects and a megalomaniacal AI that wants nothing more than to perform scientific experiments using these subjects and the portal gun.

sounds like a dream holiday.....i mean nightmare at fat camp D:

As per Portal 2, are the facilities not abandoned after GLaDOS is activated on the bring your daughter to work day event which happened before The 7 Hour War. Also, GLaDOS makes allusions to the Combine's presence in Portal 2 only no? So they had to have come in between?

No, the first game happens after the Combine invasion. GLaDOS makes references to their invasion in the first game but regardless the timeline was confirmed by Valve in an interview.

Yeah, in Portal 1, GLaDOS makes comments about the surface not being a very nice place at the moment. I don't recall the exact quote, but I do remember specifically thinking "oh dang, it's probably after/during the portal storm/7-hours war/etc."

I just wonder where in the half-life timeline Portal 2 lands after the extended stasis of "nine nine nine nine nine..."

For anyone wondering about earning trophies on PS3 offline then linking your PS3 up to your Steam account, it does transfer them over to your Steam achievements.

I wouldn't be surprised if its around when the Freeman resurfaces (maybe G-man interference in both?) given what Gabe/Valve have said about Chell's interaction with characters we know.

my god, the lighting and shadows, the geometry, the level design, this game is ridiculous and the graphics are fucking amazing for the half-life 2 engine

what's funny is, this game looks better than Fallout 3 and FO3 uses a (technically) vastly superior engine

[blindSharingan]

So stupid. I guess rating something E automatically makes it a childs game...

Portal 2 is an educational game? Oh right, now I know how to think with portals!

>Get told to contact Valve because we publish it
>No response yet from Valve.
>Passing the blame onto someone else

The game also makes fun of fatties.


Edit: Rated E for everyone, but not if you're adopted.

I love the comments, the one guy writes a page about adoption jokes not being funny cause it is something you can't change. You can change being fat! You can't change being adopted! Please, what if the game calls you ugly. Fuck, gotta sue, I can't change the fact that I'm ugly. Thanks for reopening that wound valve, as If enough salt wasn't poured into my gaping vagina growing up, now I have games calling me ugly too.

15minutes of fame is accurate. Your kid knows, and your kid is going to grow up. Sounds like the father needs to grow the fuck up as well.

A bag of flesh! How dare you call me a meat bag! Sony, this is despicable! Unacceptable! I'll always be a meat bag, it is something I can't just change! What? I'm stupid too! Noooooooo

[Mjd]

They dun goof'd when adopting a kid

Spoiler: show

[Pikarya]

Gabe is fat and was adopted by Mexicans. I don't see the shock value.

[Qalbert]

as an adopted fatty I will be boycotting this game

Stopped listening when the cunt said kids video game.

Wow that was incredibly fucked up.

OH NO I'M ADOPTED/MY CHILD IS ADOPTED!

Shut the fuck up you have parents/you have a kid. You are that childs parent, birth parents are irrelevant, especially if the child didnt know them in any aspect. I have an adopted Russian cousin (I'm completely serious), and he isnt bothered by the game or any adoption jokes whatsoever, because you know why? He has fucking parents now

I hope his adopted little bastard never played Borderland's doctor Ned dlc.
