I have a "when life gives you lemons" aperture poster on my desk in office. One fine day someone came and put up an aperture logo desk magnet on top of it. Best surprise of my life. Still don't know who did that.
I do love how old aperture looks , really gives off a foreboding scary vibe but without anything active threat or monster it's just empty which I think is much scarier.
I watch your Portal 2 lores on loop everytime I eat my dinner, or clean my apartment. A week ago, I was telling the story of Portal 2 to my girlfriend so that she falls asleep (she likes me to recite something I love so that she is able to sleep) and I was telling her about the reign of Cave Johnson and about Test Chamber 9. And tonight I will have a chance to tell her more through this video
Portal story ended with Portal 2, I don't know where you can go from that.. Chell has escaped Aperture and GLados is back on charge of the facility, meanwhile Gordon and Alyx were supposed to go to borealis using the helicopter but Eli died.. and now Alyx is gone to be G-man's puppet and Eli is alive and they need to save her from Gman
Yo Skyrionn, apparently you're my most watched gaming channel on RUclips this year, i've watched you 43 times more than your average viewer and when i've realized i actually never commented any of your videos, i felt kinda guilty, so here i am. Great video as always, Portal has such big potential for more chapters under a narrative point of view, even without considering its shared world setting with Half Life
It's hilarious to think that Eli and Dr. Kleiner might remember some of Aperture's products, to think that such wacky things existed in Half Life's bleak universe.
Dark you say, I think that's an understatement. The radioactive isotope in a chair is absolutely terrifying, if put into context of actual radioactive disasters and accidents. The amount of lore that can be dredged up is so amazing, that a Portal 3 would be rather easy to follow through with; if they didn't want to touch the HL3 name anytime soon.
It’s so weird how much the game changes in other languages The whole “when life gives you lemons” joke being replaced with “Bad weather, Good face” and he told the scientists to make a fuel made from isobars
3:29 - I wonder how many people pick up on the secondary meaning of this kind of description of Aperture while just playing through the games, hearing you describe it this way it's hard not to draw a parallel between Aperture and Valve (in some alternate universe blabla), extremely high standards and vigorous testing is exactly how Valve got their many successes 🤔
Noted! It may have been Ghost of Rattmann. You can hear him in the background. I was hesitant to put it in the video for that reason. Won't do it again
Hi hello, I wanted to ask if you think it's possible to make a stretched theory regarding Aperture as an origin point for the combine? I've made a loose theory on my own with the knowledge I've been able to gather, but was wondering if it'd be possible to link ideas better with the extended knowledge you have? I could write things out and get it more legible instead of fringe if you'd be interested in a small discussion
for one thing, the energy ball or the turret almost certainly weren't made by aperture or stolen and repurposed by the combine, they just made it themselves - it's like people building pyramids all over the world: certain things look similar even though people didn't communicate with each other plus, the combine most likely didn't enter aperture, we would've seen signs of their presence my headcanon is that the facility is full of unseen scientific horrors, and we know that it had military grade androids and robots (sentry turret and its variants such as the primadonna or animal king, and rocket sentry being the main examples) and because the place was prepared for an apocalyptic event, some robots might've pushed back against the combine, which eventually gave up, because freeman was causing problems in and around city 17 who knows, maybe some metrocops were taken and forced to participate in tests before eventually dying and then freeman and the resistance defeated the combine, and eventually chell left the facility, unaware of the horrors the world went through she probably doesn't even know what year it is
I think Chell left Aperture years after the events of HL. Also we have to make difference between Aperture and Borealis. In HL they were looking for Borealis, not Aperture.
@Skyrionn I am a huge Half Life fan, unfortunately in my country, Half Life is not very well known due to the popular culture, but there is a man who is a Half Life genius and he produces content like you, he also has a documentary, but there is a big difference from what you described, for example, he explained the 7 Hours War differently and wrote Half Life completely. I see it as a physics game based on reality, my advice is to watch that documentary and use the different information on yourself, I am a follower of both of you.
@@Skyrionn if you want to watch that 3 hours documentary about half life, its name is İşverenler ve Hayırseverler : Half Life Belgeseli the channel name is Blackline
I've been told a few times that I've missed information seen on various other creators but I've found that the information is speculative, or from non-canon games.
I feel like the g-man must've teleported alyx into aperture science to find Doug Ratman as Eli and Gordon recruited chell to find her. if half life 3 gets released we could have a character selection and pick either Chell or Gordon
Do we need a Portal 3?
Yes well not really
They need to milk the series dry I want at least 12 more games
To be honest, it's not needed. I feel Chell's story ended well. There should be spinoffs.
No, we need to get Gordon that beer I owe him.
Yessir

Love to hear it.
It was Doug.
@@Lydia-l7m He told me he'd get me home made cake, but never did. It was a lie. Maybe he wanted to make up for that.
@@panicpowerhouse8158 What the poster looks like? :)
Offering $60 in the 1970's would be equivalent to offering $500 today when adjusted for inflation. Hard to turn down if you're struggling
A good amount
I do love how old aperture looks , really gives off a foreboding scary vibe but without anything active threat or monster it's just empty which I think is much scarier.
The whole style is amazing.
Neurotoxin go brrr

I love this.
I swear to God, if this franchise doesn't conclude before my demise, I'm gonna haunt Gabe Newell and his family for all time
We know how Valve roll
It's honestly INSANE how this community is Still Alive.
But this franchise has already concluded
@@Lydia-l7mstill alive?
@@Lydia-l7m nice pun
Portal series: done, possible spin offs.
Half-life series: *NEED HL3!*
I just think we need more of both
AGREEEED

Thanks for watching the videos. I really appreciate you. No need to feel guilty but I do like the interaction.

Skyrionn, what is your favorite car prop/model from Half-Life 2 (like car005a?)
Also we need more fallout lore.
I can't say I have a favourite one really - I do like the Breencast monitors
@@Skyrionn did lungfish refuse to breathe air? It did not.
There's always more to explore, with Portal lore. ;)
There's always more!

In the french dub, he makes analogies based off the Three Little Piggies ("I'll come to your houses and blow them down to pieces" type shit).
$60 in 1960 is worth roughly $639 dollars today. Sounds generous, until you realize what you're getting yourself into..
the dark and mysterious vibe of the video while he talks about stuff like mantis-men is really funny to me
We getting shafted with this one!🔥🔥🔥

It’s a good time to be a valve fan these days
It is
I think it’s so interesting that they built from down to up. I wonder what the thought process for that was.
Is the music playing of someone talking? You can hear it under your own voice. That was so distracting? Either that or im going nuts. 6:20 onwards
Noted! It may have been Ghost of Rattmann. You can hear him in the background. I was hesitant to put it in the video for that reason. Won't do it again
i was an employee working at test shaft mine, i quit because of the strange things there and stole a sentry named wilson and worked for black mesa
Hey I think I hear dialogue in the background in the middle of the video. It's atmospheric but admittedly distracting
Noted!
Good video skyrionn.
Half Life 3 is coming....
We can only hope
YIPPEEEE!!! MORE PORTAL!!! ^w^
Cursed name
@joannanawrothenormie910 You Talking About My Name? :(
@@NekoWolfy-Chan90UwU indeed
Are you excited for the hl3 leaks?
I am but I need confirmation from Valve before I can allow myself to believe properly.
@ nice
Hi hello, I wanted to ask if you think it's possible to make a stretched theory regarding Aperture as an origin point for the combine? I've made a loose theory on my own with the knowledge I've been able to gather, but was wondering if it'd be possible to link ideas better with the extended knowledge you have?
I could write things out and get it more legible instead of fringe if you'd be interested in a small discussion
Aperture could potentially be an origin point, but personally I doubt it. Always love a good theory though!
for one thing, the energy ball or the turret almost certainly weren't made by aperture or stolen and repurposed by the combine, they just made it themselves - it's like people building pyramids all over the world: certain things look similar even though people didn't communicate with each other
plus, the combine most likely didn't enter aperture, we would've seen signs of their presence
my headcanon is that the facility is full of unseen scientific horrors, and we know that it had military grade androids and robots (sentry turret and its variants such as the primadonna or animal king, and rocket sentry being the main examples) and because the place was prepared for an apocalyptic event, some robots might've pushed back against the combine, which eventually gave up, because freeman was causing problems in and around city 17
who knows, maybe some metrocops were taken and forced to participate in tests before eventually dying
and then freeman and the resistance defeated the combine, and eventually chell left the facility, unaware of the horrors the world went through
she probably doesn't even know what year it is
I think Chell left Aperture years after the events of HL. Also we have to make difference between Aperture and Borealis. In HL they were looking for Borealis, not Aperture.

love your vids ;)
I like your comment
I'm surprised i got here before 1 hour lol
Welcome welcome
Yippeeee
Can we cover the lore of quantum science energy research facility?
Best game ever portal 🎉
Kid who doesn't know how to comment
One of the best
Babe the new Skyrion video just dropped * me 🥴🥴🥴
Put it in 1.25 for normal speed he’s still a lil slow
Can you cover in the next video the REAL locations used in HL2 from our world and why did Valve use them ?
Appreciate you hard work on every video, respect from me!
Hello nerds!
Hi skyrionn can I ask u a question or say something
sure

love that portal content is still being made despite there still not being a 3rd game
Timeless classic
Crazy
I like that
Hello Shaft 09
@Skyrionn hi
That background music makes the video unwatchable. Very hard to focus on your voice.
Edit: Please please please change it and reupload! ❤

I feel like the g-man must've teleported alyx into aperture science to find Doug Ratman as Eli and Gordon recruited chell to find her. if half life 3 gets released we could have a character selection and pick either Chell or Gordon
