Running Portal on a USB - and then unplugging it

in this video I will install couple of source engine games onto a USB flash drive, and remove the said USB drive while playing them, to see what happens.
if you enjoyed this video feel free to like and subscribe

(this might damage files on the USB drive (as you are unexpectedly removing it while files are being read/written), so if you decide to replicate this, get a USB without important files on it)

0:00 - Setup
0:35 - Portal 1
3:56 - Portal 2
5:05 - Half-Life 2
6:44 - Half-Life 2 Deathmatch
8:25 - Outro

going down in history as the first person to score kills in a multiplayer game without having the game even installed

[licoix]

As you rip out it's brain, it can do nothing but scream as it desperately tries to remember before it is all forgotten.

[SteelJM]

So unplugging the USB opens the secret portal to the dial-up modem universe. Got it.

[griefinnub]

bro scores 2 kills with 2 HP without having the game installed. legend.

[freyaeyles]

feels like some kind of digital horror, watching the programme break down slowly as it desperately clings to life in it's final moments. pretty cool tbh.

When corrupted, Half Life 2's subtitles get possessed by Father Grigori

[fimmywa]

"It downloaded for 5 min and then couldnt find the map" 80% of Gmod servers in 2024 tbh

[galaxypanda]

The way the game crashes right before you hit the wall in portal 2 feels like waking from a dream.

[moriadannotmilk]

finally, proper source engine corruptions

[AmalgamJiena]

7:26 “uninstall the game, loser”

“Way ahead of you, nerd”

[yazidefirenze]

Normal games when you remove the USB: (instant death)
Portal: (slow painful death)

[Vultrakillomg]

"ence between us is that I can feel pain.' sounds creepy, it's like the game itself talks to the player and tells that it's painful

[wildsea_monster]

"if physics no longer apply in the future, god help you" they tried to warn us

[dhrumildave]

When the video didn't end at Portal 2, I thought my guy will pull put gameplay of Portal 3 for a second

[pufferfish]

Getting killed by a guy that does not even have the game they are currently playing installed is probably humiliating

[peterlovegood]

I love how this question can be asked about every game in every engine ever, but messing with Source stuff is just the most fun

[Solomanon]

6:30
i love how you can still make out some subtitles, like
“Its spawning season for the antlions!”

[calliestudios]

wake up babe, cartridge tilting 2 dropped

[aves]

5:48 Hilarious to see a random Combine soldier trapped in a dying world doomed to crash and erase his existence managed to duck a 357 bullet as his last act before the universe collapsed in on itself.

"it feels like its something you would see on interloper"
