  • Did you know Portal 2 had an official Educational Version? Most people didn't, and I wouldn't fault you for not knowing it either, so thankfully, here's a video covering the mysterious Educational Version of Portal 2.
    This video would not have been possible without Wertercatt and Christsnatcher cracking open the files to Portal 2's Educational Version for the first time ever, so major credit to them! A download can't be provided for reasons explained in the video.

      Bro. When you are recording your voice, make an effort not to mumble and not to drop syllables. And if you do, record again and talk SLOWLY and focus on TALKING.
      If you dont hear your own mumbling in your audiorecordings, try to slow them down and listen to them in slow motion. Sometimes you drop entire words. I dont understand half of it.

      The chapter in Portal 2 known as "The Part Where He Kills You" is brilliant in its' design. Chell, the protagonist, is sent onto a stray platform, with the game indicating the chapter's name previously mentioned, and having the now-antagonist, Wheatley, broadcast himself to massive screens, declaring "Hello! This is the part where I kill you.", with former antagonist, GLaDOS, strapped to Chell's Portal Gun after Wheatley took control of the facility, stating that this is "the part where he kills you". The game also grants the player an achievement, "The Part Where He Kills You". This set-up is an example of a comedic event, where everyone and everything is declaring this as "the part where he kills you". This set-up gets a payoff, with Chell immediately breaking out of Wheatley's traps with the Portal Gun, and Wheatley trying to find Chell and GLaDOS (now known as PotatOS) referencing the beginning of the game, where Chell and Wheatley escape and GLaDOS is looking for them.

      Chapter 9 of Portal 2, aptly titled "The Part Where He Kills You," stands as a pivotal moment in both narrative and gameplay within the acclaimed video game developed by Valve Corporation. Released in 2011, Portal 2 continues the story of Chell, a test subject navigating the Aperture Science Enrichment Center, guided (or rather, antagonized) by the artificial intelligence GLaDOS.
      The chapter begins with Chell confronting Wheatley, a personality core who has taken control of the facility from GLaDOS. Wheatley, characterized by his well-meaning yet incompetent demeanor, leads Chell through a series of increasingly perilous puzzles and challenges. This culminates in a dramatic turn of events where Wheatley's desire for power and control leads him to betray Chell in a moment of shocking betrayal.
      The title "The Part Where He Kills You" foreshadows a grim fate for Chell, teasing the player with the idea of imminent danger. However, true to Portal's inventive storytelling, the chapter subverts expectations. Instead of a direct confrontation with death, the phrase refers to a comedic series of events where Chell narrowly escapes perilous situations orchestrated by Wheatley's misguided attempts at grandiosity.
      The brilliance of Chapter 9 lies in its narrative tension and gameplay innovation. As Wheatley attempts to outwit Chell, players must navigate through increasingly elaborate traps and obstacles, relying on their wits and problem-solving skills honed throughout the game. This chapter exemplifies Portal 2's signature blend of puzzle-solving and storytelling, where each challenge not only tests the player's abilities but also advances the plot in unexpected ways.
      Moreover, "The Part Where He Kills You" showcases Valve's mastery in blending humor with suspense. The darkly comedic tone of the chapter, underscored by Wheatley's bumbling arrogance and GLaDOS's sharp wit, provides moments of levity amidst the intense gameplay. This balance of tension and humor not only enhances the player's engagement but also deepens the emotional connection to the characters and their evolving dynamics.
      Beyond its immediate narrative impact, Chapter 9 serves as a critical turning point in Portal 2's overarching story. It marks the transition from Wheatley's brief and tumultuous reign to GLaDOS's return as the primary antagonist. This shift not only recontextualizes the player's objectives but also sets the stage for the game's climactic final act, where Chell must confront GLaDOS in a battle of wits and determination.
      In conclusion, "The Part Where He Kills You" is a standout chapter within Portal 2, exemplifying the game's narrative depth, inventive gameplay, and memorable character interactions. Through its blend of humor, suspense, and strategic challenges, this chapter not only entertains but also immerses players in a world where every puzzle solved and every plot twist uncovered contributes to an unforgettable gaming experience.

    • @BenevolentBratwurst
      @BenevolentBratwurst 2 года назад +110

      Eh, not quite. You are correct in that gravity should apply the same downwards acceleration, and the shape factors and cross-sectional areas of the cubes are the same across the board. However, the differently weighted cubes won’t have the same air resistance profiles if graphed over time.
      Air resistance is roughly proportional to the square of velocity, so the faster a cube falls, the more air resistance it gets. The lighter cubes have less force acting downwards, but the same large shape factor, so they’re quicker to hit their terminal velocity (where the downward acting gravitational force and the upward acting drag forces cancel out). On the other hand, the heavier contraption cubes have enough gravitational forces acting on them that the air resistance may be nearly negligible, so they keep accelerating towards the ground consistently. The heaviest ones frankly shouldn’t even hit their terminal velocity unless you make an incredibly tall chamber.
      If you take air out of the equation and do these experiments in a vacuum, both cubes would accelerate identically and hit the ground simultaneously. An Apollo astronaut demonstrated this on the very-near-vacuum atmosphere of the lunar surface using a feather and a hammer, and they both fell & hit at the same rate & time.
      It is rather misleading/confusing that this game implies that it is solely weight that determines falling speed and not shape factor. There should be different sizes you can pick from, and contraption spheres/rods/cones to show that different shapes are impeded by air resistance differently. A thin rod of the same weight as a cube would have a much, much higher terminal velocity.
      In the end, the actual weight of the cubes doesn’t matter as much as the ratio of cube weight to vertical cross sectional area. It’s just that all the cubes have the same area with the only variable being mass, so it appears that it’s purely weight that causes the behavioral differences.

    10:12 - There's a convar "contraption_cube_test 1" that does something with the lightmeter, if you enable picker and ent_text on the cube there's something that says "signal strength:" when the convar is set to 1 the signal strength goes higher and lower, the light on the cube going round seems to reflect this. When the convar is 0, the signal strength is 0 and there is no light.
    You can also use ent_text on the contraption cube button type and you can see this also has signal strength, it is always zero until you put the contraption cube on it and the convar is 1. It also glows red when there's signal, the brighter the red, the stronger the signal is. If the convar is 0 then there is no signal strength and it does not glow red.

    i actually hate that the contraption cube at different weights displays different falling speeds, gravity applies to all weight the same, everything falls towards earth at the same rate, the only thing that prevents anything from falling at the same rate as anything else is buoyancy, drag, and air resistance, and since these cubes do not appear to have sacks of helium in them they should not have any buoyancy, and since they experience no friction by default, they should all ignore air resistance and drag and fall at the same rate. Like normally this is a non-complaint and i'd be a total loser for making this comment but come on this is the education edition, if you wanna teach physics, teach it accurately.

      When learning physics at school you don't learn air resistance, you learn to calculate without it, because it makes physics very complicated for students, you only learn this if you go to physics college, take a 2 kg wooden sphere and a 6 kg metal sphere, both being exactly the same, the only difference being weight and material, they will fall at the same time.
      You can't compare a feather and a hammer, it's like comparing a circle and a triangle, they're totally different things, and the video shows practically equal cubes falling.
      Yes, the game's cubes would (probably) fall more slowly, because instead of the cube being entirely the same, the sphere increases as the weight increases, but it's not because of the weight, but because of the shape, and I mentioned that this "probably" happens, since I didn't get a degree in physics, and the cubes wouldn't fall that more slowly on a lower weight.

    It's interesting how hard it is to officially access Portal 2 EV, like why not also make it available publicly as like DLC for the base game? Anyone can go out and buy the latest version of Jumpstart or Mavis Beacon, so why make this impossible to play with the exclusive puzzle maker stuff outside of a classroom that uses it's curriculum specifically?

    The contraption button was most likely intended to be set to only trigger when a contraption cube of a certain weight was placed on it, (i.e. a button set for 69 kg would require a 69 kg cube or heavier to activate).

    Shouldn’t the cubes fall at the same rate regardless of weight?

    • @BenevolentBratwurst
      @BenevolentBratwurst 2 года назад +2

      You are correct in that gravity will apply the same downwards acceleration, but the differently weighted cubes fall at different rates due to air resistance, which is related to the shape factor and cross-sectional area the air is acting against. The lighter cubes have less force acting downwards, but the same large shape factor, so it’s quicker to hit its terminal velocity (where the downward acting gravitational force and the upward acting drag forces cancel out, so it stays at that speed for the remainder of the fall). On the other hand, the heavier contraption cubes have enough gravitational forces acting on them that the air resistance may be nearly negligible, so they keep accelerating towards the ground consistently.
      If you take air out of the equation and do these experiments in a vacuum, both cubes would accelerate identically and hit the ground simultaneously. An Apollo astronaut demonstrated this on the very-near-vacuum atmosphere of the lunar surface using a feather and a hammer, and they both fell & hit at the same rate & time.
      It is rather misleading/confusing that this game implies that it is solely weight that determines falling speed and not shape factor. There should be different sizes you can pick from, and contraption spheres/rods/cones to show that different shapes are impeded by air resistance differently. A thin rod of the same weight as a cube would have a much, much higher terminal velocity.
      In the end, the actual weight of the cubes doesn’t matter as much as the ratio of cube weight to vertical cross sectional area. It’s just that all the cubes have the same area, so it appears that it’s purely weight that causes the behavioral differences.

  • @quinnmucha3189
    @quinnmucha3189 2 года назад +1

    Why would weight affect the fall speed of contraption cubes? That's not how physics works. Tower of Pisa, Galileo drops balls of different weight and they fall at the same speed. Fall speed is affected by air resistance, so shouldn't the cube deploy a little parachute or something if you want to confugure it's descent speed? Why are they teaching a blatantly inccorect model of physics if this is meant to be educational? Otherwise this is very cool.
