Don't forget in P2 when you try to sneak the companion cube past the broken emancipation grid, just before you get to the elevator, GLaDOS fizzles it and says "I think that one was about to say 'I love you.' They *are* sentient, you know. We just have a lot of them."
@@nanapoohsmom4927in the subtitles she clearly says "they are sentient, of course." There would also be no reason to say "of course" about an apparent inanimate object if there was a silent "not."
@18:00 It's worse than that. 8/10 engineers believed the cube didn't feel *much* pain. This infers that they know the companion cube feels pain, and that it's simply the degree that's being disputed.
Imagine being Chell, being the most loneliest person with no one talk to except for a merciless AI that controls the whole facility and talks down on you all day, I would be happy to have a companion cube.. But I would never throw him even if it's means I won't be able to solve the test, but I will eventually and unfortunately give up and throw him after staying there for too long and I will feel sad about it and say sorry
As for the body theory, it is also believed that the companion cubes have test subjects bodies in them. Hence the achievement "Fratricide". (The deliberate killing of a sibling)
The term is also used to describe Killing an Ally with Friendly Fire in War. Which could be either the true definition of the achievement or a double entender.
The very first time I played this as a kid I threw the companion cube into the fire without thinking, all because I didn't understood too much English and therefore the context.
An observation I've noticed is that GLaDOS has a different way of psychologically manipulating specific individuals. The specific language she uses to try to make Doug Rattman crack in the Lab Ratt comic for instance is entirely different from the language she uses against Chell. She homes in on his schizophrenia while in the case of Chell she seems to target her personal insecurities based on her file. Because of this, it's hard to tell if Chamber 17 was even meant for Chell at all. It's possible that GLaDOS was homing in on Chell's insecurities around loneliness and sense of morality as a way a psychologically breaking her, however the test also seems almost made specifically for Doug. He's known to have been present at some point in the previous chamber due to his den and GLaDOS is aware of him treating his companion cube as an actual companion that can speak. It could be that Chell was expected to die, and then Doug after failing to save her would scramble on to the next text chamber to avoid getting shot, complete with getting a new companion cube to replace his previous one if he left it behind. GLaDOS's language in Chamber 17 seems to be directed more at Doug's psychological weaknesses than Chell's. She specifically goes on and on about how companion cubes don't speak and that you shouldn't believe in such superstition, as if specifically meant to provoke Doug like she does in the comic. Alternatively, it could be that GLaDOS was aware that Doug was watching and set the test up to break both of them simultaneously. Going after Chell due to her loneliness and morality, and Doug due to his schizophrenia. If so, there's something especially evil about the idea of the only other living person in the facility also being psychologically targeted in the same test meant to batter down Chell emotionally for being alone. GLaDOS has a tendency of targeting Chell not only for things such as being alone, but as previously mentioned for her morality. Multiple times in the game she tries to convince Chell that she is a bad person. This is one of those times. It seems to be something that GLaDOS read about on Chell's file, and it's unclear whether the low frequency of this one being used against Chell indicates it being a lesser insecurity only to be used against her when scraping the bottom of the barrel or a greater insecurity to be used as a trump card against her. Either way, it ultimately ends up either not working or maybe even outright backfiring as Chell is either unaffected by such taunts or perhaps even gets motivated by them. It's possible that when forced to sacrifice the companion cube and then taunted as a horrible person for it, Chell could have sworn an internal oath of revenge on the spot.
I wanted to leave a snarky comment about how long you managed to make this video, but since this is not my first time coming back to rewatch this video in its entirety, not even on autoplay, I think I have no leg to stand on ❤😂 never stop
No guilt here, Glados was a known manipulator, insulter , and just an overall bad "person". I saw the cube as nothing more than any other cube with a heart placed on the side, because I think deep down Glados actually thought that made it real in some way akin to a teddy bear for a kid or something. No, at the end of the day what Glados doesn't know about the human condition is shown with the companion cube nonsense.
That's a neat viewpoint honestly, I guess caring about the cube kinda comes down to wether you easily get attached to inanimate/fictional things, cuz for me it took a few minutes to decide to throw the cube in the incerator, but I also deeply cared about my Pokemon and my Dog in Minecraft despite them literally being a group of pixels on a screen, so maybe that's why i was able to care about a cube that does nothing but exist and help you get past a few certain puzzles, but idk the fact that it also was needed to complete the puzzles before you're forced to "kill" it also helped make it harder to cast aside since it sort of felt like your only "friend"/helper in the game, which was only boosted by the fact your completely alone throughout portal aside from Glados' disembodied voice and Ratman's insane scribbles. Anyways it's neat to know that some people actually had zero hesitation in "killing" the Companion Cube, it makes sense since it's y'know just an object in a vide game, but considering how far the game goes to make you care about the cube, with Glados even having dialogue that implies it could be somewhat "alive", or atleast sentient like many other Aperture Robots are shown to be (for whatever hellish reason 😂), it's just interesting that despite all that some players still saw the cube for what is really is, a cube with cute heart textures on it, and threw it right away so they could continue the game. Lol, anyways just wanted to point out why I think some/"most" people had trouble getting rid of that Companion Cube and how interesting it is to me that some people didn't hesitate whatsoever when Glados told 'em to throw the cube into that Hell-Hole 😂😂😂
Youre STILL doing this series?! Gosh, you're freaking awesome!!! Man, I was just watching some of your older vids the other day! I'm glad you enjoy making these as much as we love consuming them! Keep up the great work! :D
"you euthanized your faithful companion cube much quicker than any other test subject" Me, who just spent an hour waiting at the exit to see if it'll give me some kind of, fine here you go. Moment: NOT SCIENTIFICALLY POSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks man. It's more work, but having more time to put these together means they can be of a much higher quality! I was also chuffed. Still, I hope the cube forgave us.
I'm gonna have to take a look at which community post. I've decided to add more stuff like this even if they don't perform as well. Comes more from a love of the series and how these situations are built
I would have a hard time doing it and am sad about no cake! Love your vids :) I'm so glad for this to chill and focus on. Having a tough time right now and you are really helping me through it!
I didn't hesitate at all all due to not having any attachment to it. I have a hard time forming an attachment to anything without it having some traits of something that is clearly alive.
I’m pretty impressed to see how much better your videos are getting with each upload! I’m not particularly a long-time fan, but I’ve seen most of your work - regardless of its age. With that said, I can nevertheless notice and appreciate your growth as a video editor and storyteller. Good work!
Glad to hear it! I've been making more of an effort lately to make them as good as they can be before I post them. There's so much more to come too. Thanks for the support.
Yes. I hesitated. I looked around for a way out of doing it. But there was no other way forward , so I incinerated the poor soul. And thank you for this interesting video.
Nowadays when i play portal on my computer i just use a key bind to spawn a normal cube and chuck that in to avoid harming Bloxy (what i named the cube)
Lorewise, it always seemed to me that Glados was actually talking to Ratman, indirectly making fun of him for hallucinating, speaking with a cube and putting himself at risk for it. I think that way because Glados would do anything for more humans to test. I don't see her "wasting" subjects by stuffing them on cubes.
Interesting view. I think maybe the bodies were just put in there then. Or, in a more sinister case, maybe their consciousness was uploaded to the cube in a similar way Caroline was to GLaDOS.
Wow. The upload idea is pretty cool (and horrifying). But idk, the things she says are basically how Ratman sees the cubes, you know? Nevertheless, I do believe, at least mechanically, the devs intentions are as you say: psychological torture of Chel n such. Maybe Glados got the idea from Ratman and is trying it on Chel lol
My half life and portal timeline 2001: the events of half life 1, opposing forces, blue shift, and decay happened. 2009: the events of portal 1 happened. 2016: the events of half life alyx happened. 2021: the events of half life 2 and its episodes happened. 2081: the events of portal 2 happened.
I guess im just too 4ut1st1c to see the cubes as something else than objects. Alternatively, i could possibly go as far as the theory claiming that "THE PINK BOX IS PEOPLE". ...that came out far more seccual than intended.... lmao
Me in the half life series Started working as a scientist at black mesa. Join the resistance. Defect from the resistance and join the combine to serve their benefactors. Later died as a sacrifice to help Gordon Freeman and Eli vance by killing a combine advisor. Telling my last words use this device to find alyx and the borealis to Gordon and Eli. After destroying combine and by the events of portal 2. Chell listens to a recording by me saying to Eli and his team that i was sorry for everything.
That cube went straight down the incinerator, so I could move on… Never got the idea as to why it would be special, and I’ve always felt that people went nuts for it because they were told to…
How long did it take for you to set up those Gmod shots? Like the ones where Chell is sitting on the Companion cube. Because I have used ragdolls to do scenes and It takes a while.
I somehow feel that there is another creator with a video discussing just how bad these signs are... among the many many other OSHA failures on display. >.>
Intresting I never felt that but I have one of the oddest portal first plays I played it day one and my copy was glitched so for the entire game I have no Glados vocals it was only on my second play through that I heard hear only after going what the frack are people talking about
@@Skyrionn massively was confused by the companion cube being different but the fact I was able to complete it was a testament to valves level design. The only real spot that got me stumped for a bit was the last test chamber and incinerator ended up working my way backward down the track to the main chamber realizing there was no where else to go took multiple respawns to find the way past the incinerator then puzzle the way through to the battle with some odd computer thing that I had to fight for no reason that I could tell. I still loved portal due to the puzzle solving but even to this day I would say the main story just dosent hit me the same. I had been super stoked for portal even more than ep2 pre orange box launch and wasn’t disappointed just had one really odd experience the first time
I saw a video or something once that the testing was not about testing the gun but rather testing human psychology and this chamber is definitely evidence for that
It would've been creepy if the companion cube could faintly whisper when you're near it, i I wonder why valve didn't add something like that just make chamber 17 haunted or add unusual scenarios, like the cube disappearing to a different spot.
Im going to be honest, the thumbnail wasnt like any of your other ones and im not really a fan, the view bobbing I felt like it only should appear in more hazardous/unsafe settings. I also feel like you should maybe keep the background music in stuff like this 7:21 It doesnt feel right. I REALLY like the new view of the camera though. And please dont take this as hate
I tried something a little different this week with the thumbnail and hired someone. I honestly really liked it! I will learn to tone down the bobbing, and even using in game scenes and audio is new so I'll take those on board. Thanks for the comment :)
Me in the half life series I was working at black mesa as a scientist in sector c. I escaped and survived the resonance cascade and joined forces with Eli and the rebels. While alyx vance was 15 and 2 years after the events of portal, I went with my partner to stop the combine commandos. As he tried to kill the squad leader I used my pistol and shot him on the hand. The combine advisor finished him off pushing him off a ledge. I kneeled down to the advisor and Wallace Breen and they called me lieutenant Orville. I lead the combine to destroy resistance squads and bases. I fought with alyx and I said "to me the combine is like family and the resistance is evil." After my battle with alyx said "you were the chosen one it said you destroy the combine not join them. You were like an uncle to me." Half life alyx I was told by the woman talking to the combine advisor to stop alyx from rescuing the g-man as me and the soldiers started to look for her. Half life 2 and its episodes Upon hearing the return of Gordon Freeman I was sent out to capture or kill him. During episode 1 I escaped the destruction of the citadel along with the remaining combine soldiers. By episode 2 I lead the combine to head to white forest to stop the launch of Magnusons rocket. When Eli recruits Gordon to rescue alyx, me, my soldiers, and the combine advisors headed to the borealis to prevent Eli and Gordon from using it to destroy the combine. When Eli and Gordon reached into my heart I decided to destroy the advisor and throw it into the pit as a sacrifice. I died saying my last words to Eli vance and Gordon Freeman to use the borealis to save alyx and defeat the combine. By the events of portal 2 after chell was released to the surface. Glados listens to a recording sent by me to Eli vance saying that I was sorry for everything that I have done.
Skyrionn thanks for maaking the doom slayer lore for 4 hours, it was very good rather than 30 mins lore videos , and the way you speech it realyrelaxing 🎉🎉
I was playing portal 1 in Test Chamber 17 and felt strangely felt nothing on Cube while using at first but afterwards. I felt so much regret throwing my cube away.
I can't be the only one who didn't care about the cube. It was simply a means to an end. I put it in the furnace and I moved on without a second thought. Did people really care about the companion cube?
I like this video because it doesn't feel like something you pumped out just cuz it was the sort of thing the audience expected you to cover on your channel. No, you clearly just made it cuz you sincerely wanted to and it was loosely connected to the Half-Life universe so technically it counts.
You're right. Sometimes I do have to play the RUclips game and post a video about a topic I know will perform well, which I do enjoy mostly, but I also like to throw ones like this in too. Stuff like the Hollow Knight Timeline, and Talos Principle timeline were passion projects that did well eventually. I'm sure this one will too. I was just replying through Portal and thought it would make an interesting video. There'll be more stuff like this.
Honestly, on the first playthrough one isn't sure at the time of chamber 17 if the voice you're hearing is a series of recordings or something more. We know it's an AI now but it's easy to forget that there was a time for us all that we weren't entirely sure.
I like how no one mentions that Chell is...kinda petty. I am 90% she would just yeet the companion cube into the sun just to spite people. Sources: Portal 2 comic: Chell has a lot of tenacity. Portal 1 & 2: She's mute for the entire game.
@@Skyrionn i put the companion cube on the door while getting a turret put the turret inside and get companion cube and then put turret in android hell
Did you feel guilt about incinerating the Companion Cube or are you a monster?

I just want to say that, besides the calming and engaging way you deliver the lore in these videos, the work put into the cinematic visuals is great.
Wow, thank you! I took a little turn with the creation of the videos but I do prefer this updated cinematic style too. Thanks for watching!
Only valve can make the player care so much for a box of metal with hearts on it, Truly brilliant writing.
I know right. Imagine what we'll care about in Portal 3
@@Skyrionn Maybe a turret or Core? Or the charred Companion cube? I mean, Chell got it back in the ending of portal 2.
As for the body theory, it is also believed that the companion cubes have test subjects bodies in them. Hence the achievement "Fratricide". (The deliberate killing of a sibling)
So so dark

Oh absolutely. GLaDOS was written so well.
i feel like you should talk more about how glados pretends to be pre-recorded messages
I touched on it at the end, but during the actual chamber, I felt that not knowing GLaDOS was sentient added to the darkness of the chamber.
@@Skyrionn i misunderstood the video, the way you explained it (in my mind) made it seem like you were trying to make out glados as sentient

worst fates aperature please
Great idea
Since I have no other options in the situation, I don't feel guilt or regret.
(And besides, it's just a game anyway. 😂)
not even a little?
technically fire is a part of half life and portal so you could do a lore vid for fire
even I couldn't stretch that into a video
what about portals air? It is re-used
This feels like an april fools video
Nope - full on serious video about a topic I found interesting
I kill that cube 8 days a week.
monster
Intresting I never felt that but I have one of the oddest portal first plays I played it day one and my copy was glitched so for the entire game I have no Glados vocals it was only on my second play through that I heard hear only after going what the frack are people talking about
Oh man - you're playthrough must have felt so different to a standard one
@@Skyrionn massively was confused by the companion cube being different but the fact I was able to complete it was a testament to valves level design. The only real spot that got me stumped for a bit was the last test chamber and incinerator ended up working my way backward down the track to the main chamber realizing there was no where else to go took multiple respawns to find the way past the incinerator then puzzle the way through to the battle with some odd computer thing that I had to fight for no reason that I could tell. I still loved portal due to the puzzle solving but even to this day I would say the main story just dosent hit me the same. I had been super stoked for portal even more than ep2 pre orange box launch and wasn’t disappointed just had one really odd experience the first time
5:34 that's a lie just search for a video about Portal Osha violations and you'll see
It was a joke
@@Skyrionn k
nice one
Thanks!
I feel like if chell really did speak, she would sound like a female version of HowToBasic
maybe
*beep boop* incinerator food

Hello Skyrionn
Hello!
No, GLaDOS tried to manipulate you throughout the whole game so why would i entertain the notion it was alive?
Because you're not aware she is sentient until the final chamber.
I saved my wife's phone number under Companion Cube.
LET THE CUBE DIE
monster
@@Skyrionn look its just code in a video game
Do a Left 4 Dead video
No shot I'm first
you were too slow
Congrats Bro.
Almost first
Running out of lore are we?
Nope. There's still so much more to cover - I just thought this one would be interesting to explore!
FINALLY! thank you for more portal lore
I didn't realise how long it had been haha
I saw a video or something once that the testing was not about testing the gun but rather testing human psychology and this chamber is definitely evidence for that
It would've been creepy if the companion cube could faintly whisper when you're near it, i I wonder why valve didn't add something like that just make chamber 17 haunted or add unusual scenarios, like the cube disappearing to a different spot.
I would have loved that.
i think it sometimes hums when you get close and in portal 2 if i recall correctly it even sings
13:25 At the END OF Portal 2, we see this cube spat back out at the player. SO was it REALLY burned??
Yes it was, just not completely melted
It was just injured a bit. And severely upset with Chell for what she did.
Me not knowing all this: I did it immediately :))
Im going to be honest, the thumbnail wasnt like any of your other ones and im not really a fan, the view bobbing I felt like it only should appear in more hazardous/unsafe settings. I also feel like you should maybe keep the background music in stuff like this 7:21 It doesnt feel right. I REALLY like the new view of the camera though. And please dont take this as hate
I tried something a little different this week with the thumbnail and hired someone. I honestly really liked it!
I will learn to tone down the bobbing, and even using in game scenes and audio is new so I'll take those on board. Thanks for the comment :)
np :D
it'd bee creepy but cool to se a Vortigaunt just casually speaking with a compainion cube in hl3.
Me in the half life series
I was working at black mesa as a scientist in sector c. I escaped and survived the resonance cascade and joined forces with Eli and the rebels.
While alyx vance was 15 and 2 years after the events of portal, I went with my partner to stop the combine commandos. As he tried to kill the squad leader I used my pistol and shot him on the hand. The combine advisor finished him off pushing him off a ledge. I kneeled down to the advisor and Wallace Breen and they called me lieutenant Orville. I lead the combine to destroy resistance squads and bases. I fought with alyx and I said "to me the combine is like family and the resistance is evil." After my battle with alyx said "you were the chosen one it said you destroy the combine not join them. You were like an uncle to me."
Half life alyx
I was told by the woman talking to the combine advisor to stop alyx from rescuing the g-man as me and the soldiers started to look for her.
Half life 2 and its episodes
Upon hearing the return of Gordon Freeman I was sent out to capture or kill him.
During episode 1 I escaped the destruction of the citadel along with the remaining combine soldiers.
By episode 2 I lead the combine to head to white forest to stop the launch of Magnusons rocket. When Eli recruits Gordon to rescue alyx, me, my soldiers, and the combine advisors headed to the borealis to prevent Eli and Gordon from using it to destroy the combine. When Eli and Gordon reached into my heart I decided to destroy the advisor and throw it into the pit as a sacrifice. I died saying my last words to Eli vance and Gordon Freeman to use the borealis to save alyx and defeat the combine.
By the events of portal 2 after chell was released to the surface.
Glados listens to a recording sent by me to Eli vance saying that I was sorry for everything that I have done.
Skyrionn thanks for maaking the doom slayer lore for 4 hours, it was very good rather than 30 mins lore videos , and the way you speech it realyrelaxing 🎉🎉
I was playing portal 1 in Test Chamber 17 and felt strangely felt nothing on Cube while using at first but afterwards. I felt so much regret throwing my cube away.
So much regret!
0:16 whats happening to the portal gun?
It's just spinning
@@Skyrionn it's not on its pedestal properly
I can't be the only one who didn't care about the cube. It was simply a means to an end. I put it in the furnace and I moved on without a second thought. Did people really care about the companion cube?
From the poll, around 2/3 of people did. We're all built different though and view and interact with the world in different ways.
@@Skyrionn Really? Over an inanimate object? That's crazy. Thanks mate. :D
Chell's eyes give me nightmares.
11:35 whats the rambling in the background
I like this video because it doesn't feel like something you pumped out just cuz it was the sort of thing the audience expected you to cover on your channel. No, you clearly just made it cuz you sincerely wanted to and it was loosely connected to the Half-Life universe so technically it counts.
You're right. Sometimes I do have to play the RUclips game and post a video about a topic I know will perform well, which I do enjoy mostly, but I also like to throw ones like this in too. Stuff like the Hollow Knight Timeline, and Talos Principle timeline were passion projects that did well eventually. I'm sure this one will too.
I was just replying through Portal and thought it would make an interesting video. There'll be more stuff like this.
Honestly, on the first playthrough one isn't sure at the time of chamber 17 if the voice you're hearing is a series of recordings or something more. We know it's an AI now but it's easy to forget that there was a time for us all that we weren't entirely sure.
That absolutely added to the confusion of the chamber.
Damn it, this is the subnautica cuddlefish all over again. Can't deal with all this emotional manipulation.
damn - I have to look into that. It sounds good.
I like how no one mentions that Chell is...kinda petty. I am 90% she would just yeet the companion cube into the sun just to spite people.
Sources: Portal 2 comic: Chell has a lot of tenacity. Portal 1 & 2: She's mute for the entire game.
Oh 100% petty towards GLaDOS. I'd be the same. But still, the cube was an innocent victim in their game of cat and mouse.
Hearing GLaDOS say please is surreal
how is the companion cube so big in this video?? im so confused
That's the regular size. Maybe the lense I used on the camera maybe made it look bigger?
i saved my companion cube by throwing a turret in the fire instead of cube
How did you get a turret in there?
@@Skyrionn i put the companion cube on the door while getting a turret put the turret inside and get companion cube and then put turret in android hell
new portal lore video hell yeah
I didn't realise how long it had been!
0:13 that portal gun is clinging to its pedestal for dear life
Just like the Aperture business model
Another banger! Love your videos❤
Thanks!
love your videos !
Glad you like them!
@@Skyrionn didnt think youd reply :DD
I never destroyed the cube I just glitched threw the wall and never played again.
Best way to play
