Made My Girlfriend Play Portal 2

How are you holding up? Because I'm a potato.

After several requests on our Portal 1 video to have my girlfriend play the single-player campaign before having a Portal 2 Date Night, we decided to send her right back to Aperture Science for round two. It was a bit of a hectic week, but she managed to make it to the surface in one piece. Good work boots!

The real reason I wanted to see her play the single player before multiplayer was for the "MY COMPANION

[NestorCustodio]

That moon reveal at the end will forever be one of the most brilliant endings ever. Especially if you pay attention to the story. It all just clicks in your brain at once in the best way possible.

[DokuDoki]

That final "MY COMPANION CUBE" was something I saw coming from the very start and yet caught me so off guard

[samueltrusik]

She appreciates the story more than the gameplay. A woman of culture.

[Legionnaire]

The "How did I do that" to "How to I undo that?" spoke to me on a spiritual level.

[aitipsea]

"I want portal paint" she says
She may not have payed attention how Cave Jhonson died

[rayanekarouch]

the ending will always make me feel warm inside, you always see all of them as robots, but not at the end.

[VoxelMusic]

The "MY COMPANION CUBE" is the purest expression of joy ive ever heard.

[TheRealBrotherGrimmy]

I honestly truly believe that Portal is THE gateway drug for gaming.

[JustAWildSkullKid]

It's funny because when I played I really liked Wheatley but if you get stuck and don't figure out to swap the functioning turrets with the crappy ones, Wheatley comes out with something along the lines of "I have an idea! I can bring you to her and say I have captured you. She'd kill you but I'll be able to leave."
I remember feeling my blood chill. Then all that masterpiece happened and then I was never really able to trust GLaDOS. Up until the very end, even when she rescued me, I thought she would kill me.
But the weirdest thing is that when she let me go, I was...kinda sad to leave. It was a bittersweet goodbye. Maybe it's some sort of Stockholm Syndrome or something 😂.

10 years on, I still haven't played a game whose ending evokes the beautifully absurd pathos of Portal 2's, and I love every time I get to see someone go through those layers of shock, fear, confusion, joy, surprise, and relief between Glados' revenge pep talk and the Companion Cube rolling out.

[josephhenderson]

If she loves the paint, she'd probably enjoy Aperture Tag. It's a fan-made mod for Portal 2 that uses a paint gun instead of a portal gun.

I was not expecting another video this quickly. I mean the portal video came out only a week ago. This video is so well done and it's amzing that you listened to the community and had her play the campaign first. Y'all are great as always.

[maggiem]

I knew that last reveal was going to stop her heart. Ahhh what a funny way to tell your players to screw off.


"Take your cube and leave!"

[DannoDraws]

not even kidding, my girlfriend literally just finished playing portal 2 like two days ago. What a coincidence! Feels so good seeing their reaction's to wheatley and the moon am i right

[ojhat]

This was a masterpiece of human emotion and the perfect craftmanship of Portal 2 and it's storytelling.

[SomeKindaHero]

Man that ending was perfect. Always happy to see the reaction from people when that character shows back up after thought to be dead

[aaronwilliams]

anyone who has that reaction to the companion cube is officially a gamer, automatically, no more questions needed.

[iamnoone]

6:15 "I'm plummeting to my death"
Glados: "Oh, good!"

[QueenKittyMonster]

It makes me happy that I'm not the only one who *constantly* mixes up the orange and blue portals
