So she just took the Rattman's only friend the companion cube away from him? She's truly a monster.

i know im about, , 5 years late, but id just like to say, amazing job man. this is bloody astounding.

[МиколаКолтуцький]

this is the most adorable video on youtube. thank you :3

[nreinhard]

Thank you everyone for your awesome feedback. I am so happy that this video could effect all of you in some way. This video was for the fans, so to hear everything that I wanted to hear from you guys validates the stress of making an entire project in under a week. Thank you so much!

[LilyFlowerLover]

The part when the cube falls and Chell takes it... it's heart breaking and warming at the same time. Good job!

[Ryusola]

Awww you know when you're smiling along with the characters that you've made something great. Bravo.

One of the best portal fan films I have seen so far .
Incredible!

[rubygloom]

the bit where he starts laughing made me cry :( but in a good way, this song is so touching

[EDSKaR]

Wow, just wow.

Credit to all the other videos, but this is by far my favourite. The ending of P2 had me welling up, and so did this video, with the little flower and Chell finding the sea and then the ̶c̶̶a̶̶e̶̶c cake.

Totally beautiful. Great work.

[ThePhantomReborn]

I LOVE this video! It is a lot better than the two first place ones, in my opinion. It has a storyline, great costumes, and amazing camera work. It definitely deserves the honorable mention! Well done! : P

[vixxito]

Dude, I love your story interpretation, well deserved honorable mention :D

[TheNovaProspect]

The best Rattmann portrayal out of any Portal2NationalExile video, period.

[WhenLifeGiveYouLimes]

This is the first one of these entries that actually has a happy ending.
Nicely done!

[linkueiwarroir]

Best portal video and music video of Exile vilify I have ever seen I have to say it. Seeing both chell and doug make it out, and get what they both love really gives portal the happy ending I have been waiting for.

[MephistoJoe]

absolutely amazing, can tell you guys are true fans, did research on the ratman comics and great explanation to the end of the second game.

[Renatessance]

Aww. I thought it was cute! Very well performed, directed and filmed! It fitted in very well with the song and had a little personal twist to it, which is always nice :D

[DaveKraft]

Great job Nicky. Getting tighter & tighter. Making major progress every day!

[Raedrie]

This was so touching, thank you for creating it!

[paledragon]

You deserve far more views for this, which will hopefully come now that you received an honorable mention!

[susietwotoo]

All you need is love (and giving a girl a cake doesn't hurt either). Great video - great music - great job by all.
