[Portal 2] Map Making Initiative

[La Diable]

Wait... Cave Prime canceled the GLaDOS project... does that mean that the storyline of Portal doesn't take place on Earth Prime?

I think the joke is that all the Caves think of themselves as Cave Prime.



Except for Evil Cave, of course.

0.1% of the universes have Aperture Science.

0.1% of those have Cave Johnson.

0.1% of those have a Cave Johnson that didn't die of moondust.

0.1% of those thought of the Initiative.

Therefore there is an infinite number of universes who made the Testing Initiative. And they all think they are Cave Prime.

I strongly question those percentages!
Technically, the percentage is 0%, since there are infinite universes, and infinitely many of those don't fit any of those qualifications. Also, shenanigans.

Rephrase it as "Any given world has n% chance of _____".

[DevilEd]

The thing is a lot of the Caves don't seem to know someone from another universe is there, and a lot arn't sciencing.

Okay, Cave Prime here. I've hijacked a forum account on a random forum in every universe to tell you - why are you not testing!? I don't pay you mouth-breathers to sit at a computer discussing webcomics all day! I pay you to sit at a computer designing test chambers all day! You want to have a life? Do it on your own time - which you'll have plenty of, because if you don't get back to work, you're FIRED!

Cave Johnson here. I've been looking over this forums for weeks now, chariots, and I think that you guys are just the most swell group of fellas I've ever had the pleasure of spying on with my inter-dimensional assassin bot army. I hope that when their built in psychopathy circuits flip on, and they proceed to wipe out the entire population of your planet that they will kill you first before you have to witness the horrors they bring to your loved ones and all that you hold dear.

We're done here.

[williamcll]

Anyone here watches speedruns?


And then there's one where cave johnson actually became GLaDOS, or a cat.

[williamcll]

Watch and be amazed.

[littlequietguy]

Watch and be amazed.

I liked it, but the comic was a better comic than this movie is a movie. And that's not even counting the fact that the comic came first.

[DevilEd]

I don't understand your comment. Are you saying that the comic is better than the fan film?

[toaster1]

Has anyone seen this amazing thing? (click on the picture to go to it)



LEGO Portal. It could come true... IF you guys vote for it. It's got 7,800~ votes out of the needed 10,000 to get it to pass. More pictures follow.




(I'm not sure whether this goes here or in a hypothetical LEGO topic but whatever here you go)

[Wacom Guy]

this needs hapen

[MESIAS_ROCKET]

Certainly.
And I would love to see a Lego-Valve alliance.
In before a Lego-themed TF2 promo hat.

[streetneko]

Do you guys think there will be a Portal 3? I hope so x3 *Squeals like a prepupesent school girl*

Hardly.
Now, a Portal 2: Episode 1, on the other hand!

[Walliard]

Valve doesn't believe in the number 3.

[streetneko]

Well, theres a first for everything right? I believe I had heard of them making a third of something, but I forgot... *Sigh* Damn me and my fucked up memory!

[GiovanH]

I make maps.




Lots of them.

Play and rate a few maybe?

Also, does everybody know about the Sendificate map? It's full of homestucky goodness.

[streetneko]

I've found this little theory way to good to not say anything, so here it is.

There's a little theory about Chell being a robot and Gordens(Halflife) daughter, Cave kidnapped Chell to achieve immortality by putting his mind into a computer and saddly, it was to late and at Caves request Caroline was put into a computer and thus made GlADoS but before that Caroline had become a motherly figure to Chell, growing a soft soft spot for her due to all the tests and being the only child there, so she simply became the small childs friend and (unwillingly) became the robotic form of herself that soon went corrupt from the loss of Cave Johnson (Another theory is that Caroline and Cave were secretly lovers) and had a hatred for Chell burn since he died because they didn't get the material done quickly enough, yet Caroline still held a love the the mute girl and that's why in the end of Portal one Chell was dragged back, and in the end of Portal 2 she gave Chell back the companion cube and had the turrets sing the ending song and in the translation it's a very motherly and beautiful song, calling her dear and whatnot because Caroline (Even though deleted.) is still GLaDOS none the less, and Yiu cannot delete who you are.

So, what are your opinions on this theory? I hope it makes some sense.

[Drillgorg]

Merging into the Portal thread.

Also I always thought Chell was Cave and Caroline's daughter but its been a while maybe new evidence has been uncovered.

[Wesley Foxx]

Yeah considering you see the science display she did for the Bring Your Daughter To Work Day thing with her name on it, and the whole 'not being vaporized by emancipation grids' thing, I'm not even remotely buying the robot theory.

[Warriorccc0]

So, what are your opinions on this theory? I hope it makes some sense.

Not really.

Chell being a robot and Gordens(Halflife) daughter, Cave kidnapped Chell to achieve immortality by putting his mind into a computer

I don't see how both of these go together, Gordan never worked for Aperture.

yet Caroline still held a love the the mute girl and that's why in the end of Portal one Chell was dragged back

I'd suggest you go play Portal 1. GLaDOS was destroyed at the end of Portal, not to mention she tried to kill Chell. The party escort bot was only doing what he was previously instructed to do.

Also I always thought Chell was Cave and Caroline's daughter but its been a while maybe new evidence has been uncovered.

Chell was most-likely born after Cave's death. Chell also refers to her Dad in her "Bring your daughter to work day" board.

She's definitely not a robot. She bleeds in the first game, and depending on how bad you are at it, she can bleed quite a bit. But, I don't think the emancipation grill has anything to do with it, because it still lets her clothes and the ASHPD through. I'm going to bet that the majority of Aperture-Made products are laced with a particular element that only occurs very rarely in humans, and that's what causes them to fizzle. The 'very rarely' is because, as we all know, the thing's burned out someone's ear tubes enough for them to put up a warning, and the same with tooth caps, tooth fillings, and teeth.

Also, I know that theories abound as to the relationship between Chell and Caroline, but I just don't think there is one. I mean, a plot twist like that is just unnecessary. I doubt Chell's family will ever be relevant, outside of something like "Hey Chell your dad helped something something something the portal device" "Oh that's neat I guess" "Go solve more puzzles"

[JordanTH]

So, I made a Portal 2 test chamber! Hooray! That was fun. Here you go:



It's on the Steam Workshop if you're interested (although if you want to try it, don't watch the video, because it has the solution)
