I’d rather watch someone go slow and see their thought process as they figure it out, rather than someone rip through every level. That’s why RUclips has fast-forward, the people with no patience can go right to the end. Me? I’d rather hear your thoughts as you figure out the solution! 👏
GLaDOS: "This is the part where he kills us!" Wheatley: "Hello, this is the part where I kill you!" Chapter 9 - The Part Where He Kills You Achievement unlocked: The part where he kills you Song playing: Aperture Science Psychoacoustic Laboratories - The Part Where He Kills You Great video, great gameplay and great editing as always. Nice job! I hope everything is alright in your life and I'm glad you looked more at peace in the final recording. 22:15 - The turret mentioning that the answer is "beneath us" is foreshadowing the fact that you discover that there's a whole salt mine below the modern Aperture, which is where you find answers about how Aperture was founded, who founded it, and who is GLaDOS. 37:11 - Looks like you didn't notice, but you can see P-Body near the door and then running inside. Kind of an easter egg. 56:11 - I think I was the one who talked about it via Instagram. The reason for weird lighting is that you might have an AMD/non-NVIDIA GPU and you're not using the Vulkan renderer.
Thank you for all the support! The beginning of chapter 9 was genius indeed. Wheatley has never really been very subtle and the game just adding on top of that, just *chef's kiss*.
Maybe the greatest game of all time, and that is saying something. Its certainly a perfect one. Story, puzzles, music, script it has it all. And the most spectacularly awesome ending of all time (imo).
You're right about her singing voice. The voice actor is actually a trained opera singer, and when the developers found that out, that's when they decided to put a song at the end of the game :)
Ellen McClain the woman who plays glados is the voice of all the turrets including the opera singer at the end. in real life she was an opera singer before she was a voice actor
The ending was very definitely open ended. And given that the Half Life series and Portal series are in a shared universe. We don't know what happened on Earth between the end of Half Life 2 and the beginning of Portal 2, which is set sometime after Half Life 2. Now all that said there is something I read recently that said modern wheat needs human intervention otherwise it can't survive. Which means that wheat field we see at the end of Portal 2 was very likely cultivated by humans. So there is a possibility that Chell is not the last human on Earth.
That was fun. Thank you for finishing this. You did great. There is another aperture science story (besides portal 1) that was released as a tech demo for the steam deck called Aperture Desk Job. It was free. I think it still is. More Cave Johnson lore there. And you don't need a steam deck to play it.
@@Raisedbybats And all that amazing technology created by an ex-shower ring company, is sitting unused in a salt mine in Michigan. Just think of everything it could revolutionize! I’d put a portal on the International Space Station so I could visit it whenever I wanted. Who knows, maybe I’d even see Wheatley one day!
@@Raisedbybats Oh, one other cool note. The time delay between firing the portal gun and it appearing on the moon is the exact time it takes for light to go from the Earth to the Moon - 1.3s
Placing a core was supposed to be as simple as standing on a blue patch, jumping, and looking up at the red blinking light. I think you had so much trouble because you were looking down as you jumped. The game ending abruptly after the Wheatley monologue like that is a bug that they haven't fixed. The interpretation at the end that I subscribe to is that Glados didn't really delete Caroline and the whole thing about letting you go because you're too hard to kill is just her hiding her new emotional vulnerabilities by letting Caroline back in.
Yea the stress, being on a timer and not seeing the red places to stick the cores onto wasn't helping me haha. But after I finally figured that out it wasn't that difficult indeed. You might be on to something with the Caroline stuff, The song definitely seemed very human. But I also like the idea of glados letting go of Caroline just like she did with Chell.
@@Raisedbybats GLaDOS is Caroline, she can't really delete herself, also the turret song is a goodbye song to Chell in italian, you can find the translation on youtube
@@RaisedbybatsOne thing that the game doesn't clarify, is how to use the blue gel properly. Since it is introduced as something you bounce on, but it was not made clear enough that you can also jump directly from it, even with some momentum by just running. And also that you don't need to hit the jump button when also using the orange gel. It's been a long time since my first play but I think I struggled a bit. Anyway I saw many people having a hard time with the blue gel.
The turrets don't have anything to do with GLaDOS here ... the place was about to blow up, and it's been such a long time they managed to develop self awareness and an entire civilisation. They had a concert to thank you for saving their lives.
RUclips recommendations **sometimes** does good work and actually shows me someone interesting to watch! I'm starting your first episode already and probably staying overnight watching the rest of your playthrough 😅
Not sure why the fact core said “At some point in their lives 1 in 6 children will be abducted by the Dutch." I’m sure there’s some in-joke. I’m going to be visiting Amsterdam this December and I can’t wait. I’ve always enjoyed learning about the Netherlands. Some of the places I want to visit are the Arnhem & Nijmegen bridges for their history, and the game developer Guerrilla because they made Horizon Zero Dawn. I’m hoping to learn some Dutch phrases, but seeing how well your English is, I should be able to get around just fine. Do you normally speak Dutch and only use English when necessary? The Netherlands seems like a very small country and I imagine you meet foreigners that don’t speak Dutch all the time, do you then converse in English? There must be so many different languages that you can’t learn them all. It’s fascinating to me, because as an American, you can drive for 20+ hours in any direction and only use English. I can’t imagine being surrounded by so many different languages! I really enjoyed this play through, and I really enjoyed you being our guide through the game. Hope everything’s going well! From Minnesota, USA, thanks!
Well we speak dutch amongst ourselves but are very quick to speak english to foreigners and immigrants that haven't learned the language yet. I'm guessing about 90 percent of our population can speak english well enough. Younger generations are better at it though. The older generation is more likely to know German as a second language. I can understand german myself pretty well too and try to speak it from time to time when germans come to visit here, which is all the time really. I hope you have a wonderful time here. I always suggest for people to also visit the Efteling when they visit. It's a really good themepark.
@@Raisedbybats interesting! My trip is a river cruise from Brussels to Amsterdam this winter. I did the same cruise a few years ago, but during the summer. One of the highlights is the Amsterdam Lights Festival - from the pictures I’ve seen it should be fun. The Efteling looks fascinating, and I was happy to see it’s open in the winter. Thanks for replying!
Sorry, but it does kinda blow my mind how you kept using the bouncing gel to launch yourself through portals to put the cores on Wheatley in the final fight, instead of just....bouncing up to him with no portals involved at all 🤣
The reason why it was hard for you to understand where you needed to attatch the core may be related to the fact that you haven't played portal 1, since the final boss in that game is the opposite of what you're doing in 2, you have to remove the cores and you see them attatched all around the main body of GLaDOS
@@Pjoutotheminer yea I knew I was at a disadvantage because of that. That and the added stress. Got there in the end though, and I did really enjoy it.
Have you ever considered playing BioShock Collection for PC and/or console(s)? *Note: Includes BioShock 1 & 2, Infinite, and all related DLC.* If you like Valve's games, I'd suggest Half-Life 2 or Black Mesa as well.
@@theKGB1000 heard about it. And It's been requested before. Maybe after The Veilguard playthrough?? I won't fully promise anything, because I'm to impulsive and scatterbrained for that haha.
Have you played Half-Life or Half-Life 2? Definitely another series to play if you haven't yet. I'd say Half-Life 2 is even better than Portal 2, even though I consider Portal 2 to be more of a "perfect game" on its own.
@@Raisedbybats lol yeah. Recent leaks indicate that HLX, the codename of a game Valve has been working on for over 4 years and is only known about due to leaks, might be HL3.
Yes you heard the corrupted cores I mean you did not listen to them but no it's fine you can RUclips there lines trust me they have funny lines one from the fact core that is my favourite but you dident get was the first person to prove that cows milk is drinkable was very very thirsty that is my favourite they have some of the best lines that you can RUclips in your spare time some of them are deleated like the fact core he had a one about breathing under water and one about avocados having some disease in them and being found in Australia and he also caught you fat in a dileated line and had one where he said whoever won the fight would earn the rightful alligence with the fact core and of course space core and adventure core had removed lines as well we're they are arguing with each other about space like the one everyone quotes DAMN IT WE KNOW EVERYBODY KNOWS SPACE YOU IN IT WE GET IT they are so much fun.
I think we all know by know I make things more difficult for myself. Add stress and a timer and it's gonna be a mess sorry 😅

@@Hackspear214 you might wanna watch a certain section on half speed then haha oops. But I do fully agree with you.
I'm surprised no one has yet mentioned the obligatory joke about the end: The space core is orbiting around Wheatley because he's so dense!
GLaDOS: "This is the part where he kills us!"
Wheatley: "Hello, this is the part where I kill you!"
Chapter 9 - The Part Where He Kills You
Achievement unlocked: The part where he kills you
Song playing: Aperture Science Psychoacoustic Laboratories - The Part Where He Kills You
Great video, great gameplay and great editing as always. Nice job!

Thank you so much for giving us so much of the Space and Adventure Core dialogues!
1:54:10 yes, she does. Ellen McLean is an opera singer. The turret opera (and turrets) are her as well.
The crash at end is due to shaders being set high. It's a very old bug still not fixed
The translated lyrics to the closing turret opera 'Cara Mia Addio' really add to the mood of the final scene
Funny little physics joke with that final ending. Wheatly is so dense that the space orb Orbits around him.
*O cara mia, addio!* 💙 I enjoyed watching you play it. 🙂
God i Love that after Credits Scene. It's so hilarious
I’m so glad you persevered at the end. I’m sure it was tempting to just give up! 🎉
You're right about her singing voice. The voice actor is actually a trained opera singer, and when the developers found that out, that's when they decided to put a song at the end of the game :)
@@jalfd1 good choice, the song has been stuck in my head for days now.
I’ve been waiting for this one! Really looking forward to watching it tonight. I think you did a great job on the series!

Portal surfaces are made from moon rocks. So the moon is one big surface for portals.
