Stream from the Valve BBS

[comady25]

Atlas and P-BOT! LOL. I usually play as Atlas

[FreeDownloads1]

at 0:02 tilt your head to the right and look its the turret

[cody100red]

sigh its the co-ops! why are you guys not paying attension to the trailler

[FUBUXGEAR]

@cody100red notice when this vid was released. that said i dont know whats crazier, that valve set up a bbs registered to "mailer daemon @ aperture science" or that a bunch of fans heard morse code from ingame radios and deciphered an md5 hash to get the number to said bbs.

[gomilev]

valve kick soooo much ass

[Harley2991]

mmmm i see...not

[serializer]

EP3 is coming ?

[Ferggu4]

can someone translate what the hell is this to normal humans?

[D4NG3R03S]

@Ferggu4

Get a brain and, follow the threads on valve's forum, and youll get it..

[Torchaan]

@Ferggu4

huh? what? its ASCII art, its pictures made of letters/numbers/characters

[FUBUXGEAR]

@Ferggu4 someone not using telnet, color is inverted as a result

[turreu]

It rolled for three seconds and the rest of the video is nothing?

[jergarmar]

Wait... is that Dog holding hands with GladOS? GladOS was upside-down in the finale... it could be her.

[ballsopt]

Androids holding hands?

[Neglen932]

MECHS!

[Kuzimoto]

can you give some information about how you actually logged on? I have never tried before.

[mike123saf]

So THIS is why it's taking so long to make Ep3..

[mrstrawberryusagi]

turrent. updated...

[metafication]

is that Dog?

[Marco6543]

I dont get this :/

[leeshajoi]

Holy crap, can you say "military androids"?

[trepxtrechi]

What is BBS?

[rocktron2000]

@trepxtrechi Get out, noob.

[Kuzimoto]

BBS stands for bulletin board system. Its like a forum today, only you had to connect to the computer its self.

[Tracerex]

can u say left 4 dead 3???

[FlyingAce1015]

Awesome, Facepunch has made incredible progress I don't how about the steam forums

[SerasAtomsk]

I'm adding this comment here since I do not have a Steam forum account yet (awaiting moderation). You guys can cop/paste this.

You guys are on the right track to finding more information, but you aren't looking at the broad picture. It's Definitely Portal 2. The images you see are probably new enemies that will appear in the new game. When you play the game, and you see the new enemies you will be like "Oh, that's what it is!".

[SerasAtomsk]

(part 2) Similar to the first BBS image of GlaDOS and how we didn't know what it was until we saw the whole picture. Those 2 turret figures are just sort of a teaser with 2 turrets, and a turret logo (on the right), the one on the left being a new type of turret that opens up and can walk.

Someone earlier suggested a date that they found. Valve will have a booth at GDC that date. That is when they will most likely make the announcement.

[detard105]

@SerasAtomsk the last image on this stream is clearly vortigaunts. Keep in mind, Portal and HL2 share the same world. Nothing is ruled out on whether this is EP3 or Portal 2, OR both.

[jamesbigmac75]

no, it is clearly NOT vortigaunts. the left thing looks like Dog and the right looks like a thicker prototype of Dog.

[detard105]

Eh, you're right, with it scrolling by the first thing it reminded me of was vortigaunts. I guess my point was more that it is from the Half-Life storyline rather than just being from Portal. Meaning that you cannot rule out a Half-Life announcement.

[jamesbigmac75]

don't forget that Portal is IN the half-life universe. so if they make an announcement about portal then they are making an announcement about half-life. also, they have deliberately integrated the two stories and we are going to see what the Borealis is actually made of eventually.

[Undergroundoga]

It is only a theory. They may existent in parrel universes. I beleif that LFD and team fortress will be added to the HL-2 universe and the Alyx Vance(half-life) and Chell(portal) maybe sisters. there is also an equal possibilty the Red spy will kill Gordon for no freaking reason.

[soulsingxkill]

@Undergroundoga Team Fortress ? Into the Half-Life universe ? You gotta' be dreaming...

[GasPoweredWitch]

fuck off

[jamesbigmac75]

plain and simple, that wasn't funny, you are an idiot

[ZeldaDD]

You know, that text has to be Cave Johnson, and it reminds me of Fred Willard. That is awesome. :P

[puck1310]

last 'picture' is steam forums and /v/ working together, hand in hand, to solve gabes riddle

[LawtonsChair]

WELP

[invadercheeze]

dear god, this is incredible

[12Hamanhaingen]

Oh Valve, how could I ever get impatient with you when I love you so much. <3

[taxmonkey123]

What a fucking labyrinth Valve led us into.

[flancakes93]

Anyone else see the robot on the left holding the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device?

[ianboswell]

third image shows Dog standing next to the new mobile robots we'll encounter in Episode 3 - IE: "The Party Escourts" or Aperture Science Military Androids (ASMAs) :D

[MNC117]

Hey. imthemaid. You're an idiot. Honestly.

[XLuckieX]

@MNC117

NIET ZO FLAUW HE

[Sonnee123]

first picture is one or two turrets, 2nd one looks like two random bots holding hands?

[pikafu65]

hmmmmm, the thing at the end is acctualy IN GAME b4 this update, it's near the end when you go into the observation rooms, its on a clip board that says FAILED!

[TheRedsauce]

1.2 Aperture Science Sentries

2.Portal Gun (??)

3.Two robot things holding hands. One on left possibly D0G, Alyxs robot.

[42Forty2]

Neither of those hominid robots look like d0g. Perhaps it's GLaDOS in a new mobile platform and Mr. Johnson's andriod body?

[xXjustinkunXx]

top/left part looks almost like another SSTV scan turned sideways, bottom part is two robots holding hands.

[ronallob]

bottom one looks like vortigaunts to me.

[gentleuterus]

Portal 2 = HL2: Ep3

[Chaosrain112]

oh my god what have you done valve

[Freak2121GTAF]

I just put together everything as a single picture.

[34flinching]

please respond with a link

[coryboy6]

THERE we go!

Now it is entirely legible.

[DannyMack910]

IT DUN WORK

[Regulith]

If you turn your head 90 degrees to the right at the start of the video, you can see a Turret pass by at about 0:02

[ClericalBattousai]

Holy Crap, i don't know if there is any validity to this, bu i just had a crazy idea.

The first image is GLaDos, and the second looks like the portal gun, then the last image looks like it could be Alyx's pet "DOG" holding hands with another android looking thing.

Many have speculated and beleive the portal experiment took place before HL2.

What if, when GLaDOS says she is still allive she means DOG. What if DOG is made from the remnants of GLaDOS!

[virverum]

That is an interesting theory, but DOG is made from the leftover parts of the flying camera drone thingies from HL2. It could mean that she's rebooting her data into DOG and thus she is still alive.

[ZeldaDD]

Why on earth would she need to do that? AT the end of Portal we clearly see that she's got all she needs right there in the Aperture Science Enrichment Center.

[jaguar200]

one of the theorys at STEAM forums is that by doing this we are actually resurrecting GLaDOS

[Willianatior]

Cave Johnson guys. It's Cave Fucking Johnson... He's the AI for Portal 2. I imagine his voice like that of AM from IHNM

[ArmsAkimbo5]

The image at 0:02 is definitely a sentry. (Turn your head sideways)

[jaguar200]

i agree

[Xelmon]

Indeed they are! Well, at least is a dead ringer.

[Freak2121GTAF]

I saw some humanoids towards the end.

[honkthedank]

so whats the point of this

[blighcheese]

This whole Portal ARG is so awesome!

[AshForte]

all of this cake has too many calories

[n8makar]

wow and how far did you faggots get? quit complaining

[TheBrokeGamer]

Is the video supposed to stop abruptly at 6 seconds?

[foxfire945]

wow this was a hell of a waste of time

[APairOfDenimPants]

The circle before the two are holding hands looks like there is a sideways human.

[ClericalBattousai]

Yeah i think at least one of the end images is "DOG" Alex's pet.

[ClericalBattousai]

And the first image is GLaDos,

and below her is think is the portal gun

[spidarmen213]

VALVE!!!!!!

[behraambaqai]

Who was clock?!!

[DDRpwnerer]

[MrCadefulp]

NOBODY LIKES ROASTED NUTS

[xdarkhand]

Nice upload.

You didn't scroll up to any of the other images and just left it on the last half of 1 image for 4minutes. GREAT JOB

[ScienceFiction216]

Two Androids? Aperture science was working on androids...

My god... Chell and Freeman are androids. the Gman is cjohnson!

[blighcheese]

Thank you for 7 seconds of video and 4 minutes of nothing.

[zwruble]

@blighcheese its great for the first vid

[blighcheese]

I suppose though it would be nice if he'd scroll slowly or something.

[Nemesis672]

is that an alien grunt

[Jdshald]

looks like the turrets morphed into two robots holding hands.????

[T5226]

Saw the Portal Gun at the top.

[Proplytiri]

[teyoru]

[Crunchieman]

@zwruble

[MrCadefulp]

I don't have a fucking modem so i can't connect to the BBS :(

[zwruble]

@MrCadefulp I wish I could dial out and hadn't upgraded to win 7

[MrCadefulp]

Beceause the Hyperterminal ain't available in Win 7?

[zwruble]

@MrCadefulp you can re-enable it but how.... go call bill gates for tech support

[MrCadefulp]

You can actually copy the installation of Hyperterminal from WINXP to your WIN7. But you can also get a free alternative.

[ertyseidel]

Google is probably wondering what's going on with this video - the pageviews probably skyrocketed as soon as it posted.

[jaguar200]
