This comic is genuinely beautiful, and now that I'm grown up, I can finally appreciate the parallels between glados and doug, being polar opposites, a stone cold killer and a thoughtful person, one ignoring their conciousness, and the other embracing it, and their treatment of chell, both idolizing her in different ways, its beautiful.
People forget that behind all the cute writing and memes Glados is nightmarishly evil. The personification of meaningless cruelty and cold analytical curiousity.
You know, portal always gestates in the back of your mind as the funny robot puzzle game, until you stop and consider the true ramifications of it's characters and world. And then it becomes a truly grim, sad and lonely setting - it just makes me want to weep. This comic was just so existentially sad - to fight and fight, and never know if it was worth it.
I feel so bad for poor Rattman. He was the sole survivor and has been cooped up for 180 days, going insane without any human contact and talking to his companion cubes as a moral compass. 💀 he may not be that crazy, or like a coincidence because the companion cube having a voice of a woman supports the popular theory in the fandom that the companion cube has the human scientists inside of them, which is why GLaDOS made you incinerate it before going into the emancipation grill. If you found out they’re made of people inside you’d not complete the tests and GLaDOS’s itches would act up for her. Oh that’s explained in Portal 2 when the same thing happens to Wheatley if he didn’t test. Seriously tho poor Rattman went through all that shit and then had to also avoid the turrets and *her* with his companion cube.
Years ago, I played the Portal games, found the murals and radios, even read the comic, and still thought Doug was just a neatly characterized plot device to set the gears in motion. Your work, however, has really sold his character, 100%: a kind, desperate man in the most impossible of circumstances trying to keep even the slightest grasp on what's real, running and hiding through the same white, gray, and beige rooms for an amount of time he probably can't even consider while subsisting on beans, murals, and radios. The advent of the Glados AI helped a lot, but the actual voice acting was phenomenal. Keep up the great work, man. You deserve far more subs than you have.
Damn, Glados voice is... "Perfect" is an understatement (it wasn't an actress) That explains a lot. Anyway, good comic dub (but I much prefer the Italian version)
Hey man I just want to say I love your work. Your voice is great and the the time and effect you put into your videos are the best around. You seriously deserve more subscribers and more notoriety
I'm glad someone took the time and effort to compose an entire voice-acted version of this comic, but Doug's voice will never cease to strike me as overly cavalier and robust. The canon lines present Doug as a somewhat squeaky and frantic sounding individual, not an understudy for a would-be Buzz Lightyear or the sort.
@@dogman15 That makes me want to study in that field, but I have other plans for the future. Like, the repercussions a culture can have with a certain mental condition seem interesting. Change the culture (mostly the one from where said person originates from/was born and or raised in) and the mind changes. So in theory, if you make a fictional culture and you were to somehow drag and drop a child there (one that can and will develop the condition, and for that we must take into account how they're raised), where the symptoms are described differently by the people, the type of schizophrenia would be different.
ANYONE NOTICE HOW CHELL'S LAST NAME IS REDACTED!?!?! Chell is an scp!!!!! Im joking, im joking. But the theory that she may be the daughter of a scientist, may just hold more water here. Due to the fact that her last name has been redacted. Probably to protect her relation with one of the scientists.
I don't think him being a character or an Npc would be good, he is special because he is mysterious and unseen and Easter egg, it's will be better if we find out more of him
I KNOW THIS IS LATE, BUT I LIKE YOUR VOICE ACTING, YOU ARE ONE OF THE BEST ONES TO VOICE DR. RATTMANN. IT FITS HIS LOOK AND PERSONALITY, [IF YOU ASK ME AT LEAST]. NOT TOO NERDY OR DEEP, JUST NORMAL. GREAT WORK WITH THE SOUND EFFECTS TOO. POOR DOUG'S SUCH AN UNAPPRECIATED AND UNDERRATED CHARACTER. ALSO PS I THINK THAT'S ONE OF IF NOT THE BEST CAVE JOHNSON IMPERSONATIONS I EVER HEARD. XD!
LOL, HOLY CRAP, I DIDN'T NOTICE THEM, I KNEW ABOUT THE GRAVITY GUN, BUT NOT THOSE. SO THANKS FOR POINTING THEM OUT. :D BTW THERE ARE ALL JUST EASTER EGGS, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW, NOTHING MORE THAN A TRIBUTE TO HALF-LIFE [I MEAN IT MAKES SENSE GIVEN THAT VALVE MADE BOTH THESE GAMES AND TWO THERE A PART OF THE SAME UNIVERSE]. SPEAKING OF WITCH, I THINK THERE'S ALSO A TEAM FORTRESS 2 EASTER EGG IN THE LEFT 4 DEAD COMIC: "THE SACRIFICE".
Doug: She did it. It’s over. Portal 2: No, it’s not over because it was all Weathly’s fault for being a idiot and make GLaDOS wake up accidentally and stupid by Weathly.
It's interesting to note here that both Doug and Chell just do not give up. Ever. Even more stranger is that Chell's surname had been redacted. On top of that, Chell has her own Science Project in Aperture as seen in Portal 2 during the "Bring your daughter to work day" section. Which is why I always suspected that Chell must've been related to Doug.

Are we gonna ignore how hard GlaDos was trying to gaslight this man??
Are we gonna ignore how strong willed doug is? He resisted this for at least a good few months if not years.
People forget that behind all the cute writing and memes Glados is nightmarishly evil. The personification of meaningless cruelty and cold analytical curiousity.
@@Octopugilist to be fair, this all started with cave johnson
Quote just because you know why a person is the way they are, it doesn’t mean they’re excused for being that way
Jarrett Adams well there was Caroline in her so Glados wasn’t fully that
You were waiting for a voice modulation AI to appear to make this comic, weren't you?
Can't say it is not appropriate. Great work as always beard.
Not really "modulation", if you ask me. More like... generation, based on machine learning.
4:29 that has to be the BEST cave Johnson impression I've ever hear

I read this in GLaDOS's voice.
We all wait for the day for Cave Johnson and Saxton Hale to meet
The lemons weren’t wanted by either
And then Gordon lights them up with heavys machine gun
unusual combustible lemons
It would require Cave to be revived or time travel using the borealis
Match made in hell.
"So it's the long sleep, or the long sleep..."
That line really got me for some reason.
Doug Ratmann is just the John Wick of science.
how
Portal movie based on Lab Rat, starring Keanu Reeves as Doug Ratmann
What about gordon?
Ratmann and Freeman are the John Wick and Rambo of science
That Cave Johnson impression is uncanny
Portal is “still alive”
I get it

I remember the first time I learned how to emulate Glados voice really well. It’s so much fun creating things for her to say ^-^
Scientist 1:we put cameras in the cameras
Scientist 2:GENIUS
Damn, Glados voice is... "Perfect" is an understatement
(it wasn't an actress)
That explains a lot.
Anyway, good comic dub (but I much prefer the Italian version)
Abimation? Dam, I actually thought that was Lindsay Jones.
Everyone brought their A game.
This art is just... wow. It's gorgeous.
And damn, the voice acting has so much life and emotion in it, good work dude!
That was a beautiful preformance.
That was the best cave johnson impression ever
I’d like a portal 3 game centered around rat man

The one dislike was from glados
And her alternative account
@@sevencakes7125 and her 10 others
God, this was so good!
How did you nail that Cave impression?
Cant wait for another tf2 comic! Totally , *cant wait*
Has been four months
It’s bi-monthly!
@@ShafiqRUclips81 also we haven’t got one for like two years when they said that it was bimonthly comics, AND ITS ONLY ONE LEFT FFS
It's funny that you do this one now, because a few days ago I decided to replay all of Portal/Half-Life lol
i played portal and portal 2. just the main campaigns. no extras. now i finished hl1, blue shift, and opposing force. gonna play hl2, ep 1 and ep2.
I sure do love a good old schizophrenic reverse grid 14:07
Schizophrenia is a culturally bound phenomenon. Its pattern of expression is filtered through the cultural substrate in which its symptoms develop.
@@dogman15 That makes me want to study in that field, but I have other plans for the future.
Like, the repercussions a culture can have with a certain mental condition seem interesting.

Was GLaDOS using a Microsoft Access database to store the test subject order?
I hope they do a reading of the Left 4 Dead comic
Such an old One still love tho !
Excellent work
You should also voice act for J Jonah Jameson lol since u can do a great cave Johnson!
Thanks, I actually have done some videos as Jameson for some Spider-Man motion comic dubs by Prodigy.
Good Stuff!
Great video beard! :yougotthis:
This is very well made!
and then all the VA's died
the end
Y'all brought this to life. Good job.
Could you dub the sacrifice comic next?
Perhaps in the future, that's a huge undertaking.
@@TheAmazingFidget Brooo that would be awesome!
I love your vidoes keep it up
🥳🥳🎂🎂🎊🎊🎉🎉✨✨🎈🎈 THE 100TH VIDEO OF THIS CHANNEL
ANYONE NOTICE HOW CHELL'S LAST NAME IS REDACTED!?!?!
Chell is an scp!!!!!
Im joking, im joking.
But the theory that she may be the daughter of a scientist, may just hold more water here. Due to the fact that her last name has been redacted. Probably to protect her relation with one of the scientists.
Her surname could be anything...
*Chell Johnson*
The voice of the dude sounds like moist critical lol
WOO, thank you
Glados is so fucking clever tho
"TO BE CONCLEUDED"
Are you ok?
very nice
Why does this man sound like a perfect copy of TFPrime ratchet?
Hype
you are first
the art of this comic is genius, the style shifting from bland and boring to hyper sketched out inconsisent ramblings
Am I the only that thinks Doug sounds like Adam west
There is a short webcomic called Scraps. I found it on Tapas, but it could be somewhere else. Maybe give that a shot?
I'll look into it. What's the theme?
The Beard “Getting by in a ruined world.” It’s got a really nice character dynamic going on.
It sounds like a mass effect comic, you know?
Pls Do Also L4d Sacrifice too
You should do Left 4 Dead comics next!
Could you make a L4D comic dub?
I've considered it before, will likely consider it again.
@@TheAmazingFidget I'd love to see it!
i likey
Wait if half life ties into portal and portal ties into tf2 ( just saying that because the wheatly sapper) then where is Gordon freeman
Does this guy just rub stuff or make the comics?
But gladous is wrong I do have a soul
Glados
Yo, I guess dubbing some among us comic may get alot of views
is gud
Subd oh yeah can you do apex legends comics from the game
Make part 7 of Mann co. No more
Afraid I can't. The comic was never finished.
Why was it never finished??
I really wanted to see more of it that was a nice comic
Not sure, they just never did. Valve sometimes drops projects randomly.
@@TheAmazingFidget the artist is confirming it's in making but not sure if Valve is gonna post it
If you’re gonna make new tf2 comments you could use 15.ai
He has a better impression of the characters
:)
12:55
Doug needs his own game...
Portal stories Doug
Not a real thing sadly (as far as i know of)
I don't think him being a character or an Npc would be good, he is special because he is mysterious and unseen and Easter egg, it's will be better if we find out more of him
I am actually involved in the development of that right now.
Great work
I love your work, you bring so much character into the comics.❤
The JK Simmons impression was actually pretty fucking good
I KNOW THIS IS LATE, BUT I LIKE YOUR VOICE ACTING, YOU ARE ONE OF THE BEST ONES TO VOICE DR. RATTMANN. IT FITS HIS LOOK AND PERSONALITY, [IF YOU ASK ME AT LEAST]. NOT TOO NERDY OR DEEP, JUST NORMAL. GREAT WORK WITH THE SOUND EFFECTS TOO. POOR DOUG'S SUCH AN UNAPPRECIATED AND UNDERRATED CHARACTER.
ALSO PS I THINK THAT'S ONE OF IF NOT THE BEST CAVE JOHNSON IMPERSONATIONS I EVER HEARD. XD!
ALSO, JUST CURIOUS @THE BEARD: WOULD U VOICE HIM AGAIN IF SOMEONE ASKED YOU TO FOR AN ANIMATION OR SOMETHING SIMILAR? [EVEN IF THEY COULDN'T PAY]?
5:37 Are we going to ignore the fact there's a Half 1 First Aid Station as well as a HEV Suit recharger?
ayo wtf-
they gon rip off black mesa and re-sell for cheaper
LOL, HOLY CRAP, I DIDN'T NOTICE THEM, I KNEW ABOUT THE GRAVITY GUN, BUT NOT THOSE. SO THANKS FOR POINTING THEM OUT. :D
BTW THERE ARE ALL JUST EASTER EGGS, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW, NOTHING MORE THAN A TRIBUTE TO HALF-LIFE [I MEAN IT MAKES SENSE GIVEN THAT VALVE MADE BOTH THESE GAMES AND TWO THERE A PART OF THE SAME UNIVERSE].
SPEAKING OF WITCH, I THINK THERE'S ALSO A TEAM FORTRESS 2 EASTER EGG IN THE LEFT 4 DEAD COMIC: "THE SACRIFICE".
And a gravity gun from the looks of it
Black Mesa must have been stealing some stuffs from Apeture science
Fantastic work by everyone involved - you've really brought the comic to life!
Can we talk about how unsettling the art is because... Holy shit, this shit freakish! I love it!
This is really awesome. I really love your comic dubs man, you're probably my favorite comic dubber ever.
This is so sad that the beard read the entirety of lab rat with different voices and sound effects and got less than 500 likes at the time of writing
Your voice acting gets better and better , beard , the less cheesiness the better
Man this video makes me wanna destroy a metal gear
YES! YES! YES! YEESS! GOOD WORK!
I heard the word "yes" and all I could think about was jojo
9:57 doug rattman = murder drones Uzi
I’m starving for more content from this channel
Quick question when are you going to make Man Co No More #7?
Whenever Valve releases the comic. It's still not out yet.
Until he gets a time machine he cant
Why does Doug sound like Grey Mann.
Really loved this. Thank you ♥
Doug: She did it. It’s over.
Portal 2: No, it’s not over because it was all Weathly’s fault for being a idiot and make GLaDOS wake up accidentally and stupid by Weathly.
It's interesting to note here that both Doug and Chell just do not give up. Ever.
Even more stranger is that Chell's surname had been redacted.

Which is why I always suspected that Chell must've been related to Doug.
Now Doug Rattman has become the cat in the box, being both alive & dead.
I think.
who is that guy-
A researcher
Your voice sounds so similar to Jeffrey Combs. For a second I thought Ratman was Jeffrey Combs.
Holy shit that Cave Johnson impression was on the spot
Is that fckin TFP ratchet!?
This was amazing. Wtf.
Why does he sound like ratchet from transformers prime?
Glados and the administrator would be good friends
The Administrator is dead (time wise anyway) so that would be impossible
"we put cameras in the cameras" lol
You sound like ratchet from transformer prime
2:57
The binary text translates to: The cake is a lie.
The voice sounds somewhat like grunkle ford. Smart grandpa from gravity falls. This is now my head canon voice for Rattmann. Maybe with more anxiety
Funny you should say that, considering who voiced Grunkle Ford and Cave Johnson.
