    id like to imagine that the "cut" cores are still out there in the facility, but since glad0s woke up, and rearranged the facility, they're all locked away for eternity, or killed in some way when wheatly becomes the head honcho of the facility (why wouldn't you kill your brethren, you're the superior core after all)

    • @Amosus2
      @Amosus2 8 месяцев назад +9

      You see how many corrupted votes were outside Wheatleys lair? It's entirely possible he corrupted them and that's why stuff has been going so terrible. If the cores were really tasked with keeping the facility running, as Wheatley suggests in the intro, then corrupting everyone in charge would lead to some pretty bad things going on in the facility

(And it’s not like they were 100% scrapped, like this video says, the cores were eventually put into the four we know today. Well..except the “jumping” core though it probably doesn’t even exist)

    • @wolfcl0ck
      @wolfcl0ck  2 года назад +58

      Well thank you, that's some useful feedback! With this episode, I wanted to make things less boring by incorporating actual footage in the background instead of still images like I've done for all my previous betafieds. I tried to make sure that it wasn't *just* that by having as many visuals on screen as I could, but there were some lull points where I couldn't think of anything to put up. I'll see to it in future episodes that that's less of a problem.

    I feel like the inclusion of Pendleton would have made Wheatley's death contain that amount of darkness and edge the first game had. We disintegrate turrets all day and incinerated cores in the past, why couldn't Wheatley have died? Pendelton could have been the core that took Glados' place and then Wheatley could have shown up along with Glados to help kick Pendelton out. I think a better series of events got left on the cutting room floor.

    I had no idea Pendleton and Wheatley coexisted at one stage! I wonder if Wheatley was characterised differently back then, seeing as the description we're given of Pendleton is basically Wheatley in all but name. And if not... strange to have two very similar cores when one would be enough.
    What if Pendleton was a SMARTER Wheatley?
    Well, now I have far too many questions and no answers.

      @@wolfcl0ck Found it! Thank you so much! Very interesting, especially since there's a bit of code in this file as well! Kinda looks like the dialogue is stored in an array (good for CPU cache efficiency), and some functions are included in the file. In particular, we can see part of Pendleton's code for playing the files, under "function Think()" at the end of the file. Given that we can see this function (and the function that actually plays the dialogue), I'd surmise this gives us a suggestion as to how Pendleton might have paced the dialogue in either the Core Hub or Multi-core stage!
