Seen a lot of people saying they took a clip from my 'Meet The Cores' video and used it without credit. It's in the 'Image Sources' pastebin link at the bottom of the description (#44 on there). I don't mind its' use either way, but it's great to see people showing concern! ^_^

Fact 108: If you are determined and patient enough, you can bring a green energy pellet from the 19th test chamber till the end of the game, to GLaDOS's chamber.

[LapidApiary]

I imagine the room GLaDOS talks about in portal 2
"I will send him to the room where all the robots scream at you..."
is just a room filled with those anger cores.

[hanaru]

108th Fact:"Chell and Gordon Freeman are voiced by the same actor."

[joemcbo]

Imagine being the guy in that conversation in 14. "So we need a goal that keeps the player going!!" 15 minutes later "I really like cake." "GENIUS!"

[zephyr]

Heal legs? Any TRUE portal fan would know that those are called "Aperture Science Long Fall Boots"

[VGamingJunkieVT]

Funny how Wheatley says Chell is silently judging him, the worst kind, when that's basically what the Morality Core does. It doesn't say anything, it just sits there. Silently judging you. It sees what you did. And it does not approve.

[keinrisikko]

You can't shoot Portals through Portals! Speedrunners:"That's where you're wrong Kiddo

[arekrekas]

i noticed some missinformation: "betty" wasn't GLaDOS' early name, but in fact an character from an unused version of portal 2, she whould be a core on wheels and her name whould be the only reference to GLaDOS in the whole game

[timprimetal]

"Nothing is extraneous in Portal."

HAH! Have you seen Aperture's manufacturing system?

[geryz]

[puppetsinc.shorts]

Her saying “gladas” really really got me

And that, my dear friends, is how the companion cube that gets tossed at you at the very end of Portal 2 is presumably the same one you burn in Portal 1, and Wheatly from Portal 2 is presumably the Cake Core from Portal 1.

[JoeyCarolina]

When the robot said you was a sleep for days. that's how long it is for u to wait until Half Life 3.

[dirtydan]

A lot of these facts are already in the game and take a person with no brain to know. A lot also leech off other facts. Things like
Fact #1 "It was based off this game"
Fact #2 "That game's name is..."

[philiphan]

0:20 That's a weird way to say "cemented"

[furretenthusiast]

"Fizzlers" are actully "Emancipation Grills" at least in portal 2

[andotus]

108th fact: the only time valve has ever said “we’re out of beta and releasing on time”

[NylaTheWolf]

I would kill for Portal to be used at my school

[underthependulum]

86 is a lie. In the interview where they said this, someone listening would easily tell they were being sarcastic as what they said was beyond extreme. It was meant as a joke
