Oh, This is Why People Like Portal 2

Portal 2 is a game created by Valve, the owners of Steam. Sure it was made a while ago but I never played it because it didn't look all that interesting. All that happens is you use some portals for puzzle solving, right? Well, I gave it a try and was proven quite wrong.

46:06 A detail that a lot of people miss is that when GLaDOS hits Wheatley with the paradox and he's too stupid to get it, the turret cubes do actually all short out and die, which shows they are more intelligent than Wheatley is.

[Lozinlimbo]

33:05 accidentally disintegrating the turret one line away from revealing "her name is Caroline" had me close to tears

[sumgamesonmyphone]

37:02 Don't know if anyone already said this, but fun fact:

The thing Wheatley does there is activate a translator tool. But he does it wrong so his voice says in Spanish:
_"You're using this translation software incorrectly, please check the manual"_

[deejmix]

Apparently the reason glados hums jolly good fellow was because originally, she was going to be humming “happy birthday”. But apparently at the time the song was copyrighted and they couldn’t use it. It wasn’t public domain yet

[PellyPlay]

53:17 I love how core corruption started at 25% because he himself is already a corrupted core

[Jacobstx]

57:25 It's a burnt companion cube.
The only companion cube that you burnt was the one from the first game.
It survived. And now you are reunited.

When Cave Johnson is explaining the white portal gel he says that its made from ground up moon rocks, implying that the moon is a portalable surface, which is why you are able to put a portal on the moon in the end

[Eldrich]

Fun fact: in a Portal 2 trailer involving turrets, we briefly see the blueprints of the turrets. If you look closely, the turrets have both an Empathy Chip, and an Empathy Suppressor Chip. In other words, they feel bad for killing you, but are forced to.

Edit: A funny detail in Chapter 8 is that when GLaDOS says the paradox, the turret boxes in the room appear to short circuit, implying that even the turrets are smarter than Wheatley.

"We both said a lot of things that you are going to regret" is my favorite line in this entire game.

[Legoguy]

I'm so happy that Valve added a sound effect for achievements on Steam, because it makes "The Part Where He Kills You" all the more special for first-time players. Up until now, I always preferred the delivery of the console versions specifically because of the achievement noise chiming in right as Wheatley says his line, as if he took control of your device just to rub in the fact that he is indeed about to kill you. It's such a hilarious part of this game that you can only fully experience once.

In case you're not aware, portal and portal 2 are canon to the half life universe. so these things about society collapsing, black mesa... yeah. The world did in fact get invaded, society did in fact collapse.

[RubenGarcia-pttp]

From the creator of “oh, this is why people like portal”, comes “oh, this is why people like portal 2”

[SomethingWellesian]

14:56 Actuarial tables are what insurance agents use to make estimates. GLaDOS is explaining why she’s not able to more accurately estimate your lifespan, so 60ish years is a ballpark estimate.

The newspaper columns about a person’s death are obituaries.

[Makerr]

To add a little fun fact; there is a reason why they talk about how low a voltage the cores can run on. A potato can generate around .5 to .9 volts which would be just enough for GLaDOS to stay alive but not process much. That why at 42:00 the extra half volt lets her start scheming.

[Zachafinackus]

Calling GLaD0S the 'robot from the last game', but then calling Wheatly by name is wild lol

[dzmcroy]

I think that something humor-wise that you kind of missed from the "first robot" is that they are "pre-recorded messages to be used in the case of societal collapse." So it's not a robot, and it's not describing anything that's actually happened, it's just giving you advice "if an animal king is ruling, " "if the laws of physics no longer apply, " and everything else that the wackos at Aperture imagined might cause the downfall of society. (In reality, it's probably the Combine from Half-Life, but that's not critical to the joke.)

The second half of the joke is that Aperture considered "testing" to be so important that they had this entire contingency plan in place for it to keep going even if civilization crumbled. Their insane focus on "testing" as a vital human right/service is sort of the joke running through all of Portal 2.

Calling J.K Simmons (voice of Cave Johnson) "Just fine" should be some sort of a war crime

[ultmateragnarok]

I'm a little disappointed so many people miss the docking station joke early on in the chaos. The writing on the wall actually says 'Docking staion 500m below', but Wheatly reads the first part and doesn't process the second, and also doesn't think to, y'know, attempt to activate the docking station. He just slams right into where he thinks it is and then goes 'oh that's a solid wall. I'm gonna just smash through it anyways'. I dunno how Aperture made him but they did indeed make him make the worst decisions imaginable.

Fun fact regarding the Announcer who covers the testing track at the start of the game - initially, these were going to be pre-recorded lines from GLaDOS, but this confused people as they assumed it meant she was still active rather than recordings. I feel like they could've had her just mention it, but it'd still be confusing until she did, I suppose.

I love how impactful the lemon speech is. The 'oracle turret' - that one that you see stuck in the pipe and later can save from the conveyor belts - has a lot of lines with important implications, such as referencing how the morality core from the first game couldn't stop GLaDOS from killing everyone ('it won't be enough'), foreshadowing the entire Caroline reveal ('the answer is beneath us' 'her name is Caroline'), and the whole prometheus bit which is a direct parallel of GLaDOS's story, cast into the depths and pecked by birds. But two of its lines are just 'get mad' and 'don't make lemonade' because of how great that rant of Cave's is. It's, to this day, one of the best remembered parts of the game, up there with its ending music and the whole Wheatley thing with the central body.

45:58 The Caroline thing is further shown here because GLaDOS _does_ understand the paradox, but it doesn't stop her because she's not just a computer replicating the result of intelligence, but has actual biological components, hence her name - Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System. It does fry all the frankenturrets around, implying Wheatley is straight up not intelligent enough to comprehend the paradox despite being a computer.


If you want a unique game to make a video on, try Carrion. Or Dredge. Those are good games.

The GLaDOS voice of Portal is so iconic that even Guillermo del Toro used the voice in his 2013 movie Pacific Rim as the disembodied voice of the A.I.

[DaffyDaffyDaffy]

16:50 It's not a useless observation, it's world building. It's showing you that as soon as glados got reactivated, she started repairing the facility
