  • This isn't real Borealis. This is 3D SkyBox for video on the monitors.

  • It's good to know a little about game design before running to YouTube with these videos. I mean no offense whatsoever, just sayin'.

  • Oh, look. There`s the Borealis.

    They just need to phase through existance to get to it.

  • OF COURSE. It was right inside the laboratory of Eli Freeman and friends all along!

  • its aperture from portal

  • yay, go aperture, screw black mesa

  • @superdylanthefox i dunno. i mean, they have gordon freeman with the zero point energy field manipulator. 

  • @Bardock203

    A Hunter from Episode 2, one of several enemies new to the game. It has zero relation to Portal.

  • Kleiner: It's the Borealis!!! Alyx: How did Gordon get there so fast?...

  • 1:09 - Aperture Laboratories container?

  • @lumastar91 ye

  • why is the docks under ground in portal 2

  • @TheSoldierCore

    According to the lore, the Borealis somehow teleported away from wherever it was docked, taking a portion of said dock along for the ride.

  • @TheMadmanAndre of thats a dock where the borealis is but je cant se it

  • @TheSoldierCore

    I genuinely have no clue what you just said. My Retardese isn't exactly fluent but that's pushing it. If you want the full picture, go play the damn game or watch a video playthrough elsewhere on YouTube of the scene, the above video cuts it off but they talk about what I said literally a MINUTE after that.

  • @TheMadmanAndre zorry for my bad englis i whill se it again the borealis stands on a dock but you can't se them becus you can only se the dam boat and not the docks

  • Okay, I'm a retard for asking this, but... what is the significance of the Borealis, other than its quite possibly the only connection between Portal and HL2?

  • 1:31 APATURE SIENCE !!!!!!!!

    awsome :)

  • @noghtil3

    GladOS LYING?!? WELL THAT WOULD BE TOTALLY OUT OF CHARACTER!!

  • @narrator101

    O_O OH SHIT....

  • I looks like its stuck in Ice. Maybe when it Teleported there. Thats my Guess at what happened.

  • Voor those who have read the short portal comic.

    It was said that the girl's name was Chell [REDACTED].

    She is mute, has brown hair and is about as stubborn as... Gordon?

    Could it be? Chell Freeman?

  • @noghtil3 Thats just the docking place in portal 2

  • SPAAAAAAAACCEEE!!!

  • Borealis crazy fans, check up Portal 2: Borealis

    And prepare for some legit evidence that portal and Half life are in the same universe.

  • @HaloFanRedvsBLue12 gee thanks for pointing that extremely obvious factoid out

  • @HaloFanRedvsBLue12 Also in the song Still alive GlaDos mentions Black mesa and Cave Johnson says Black mesa stole all of his invetions

  • @HaloFanRedvsBLue12 and alyx also says "hmm looks a bit like that gun aperture science made"

  • APERTURE!

  • If Blue can do it, we can too! *jumps in TV*

  • I love how they tie portal and HL together

  • watch?v=AYiQ7tFOqqI Borealis!

  • Im new to half life's story. Someone please explain the ships signifigance.

  • @irishheed123 It was the failed ship by Aperture Science, used to study cold conditions and such. Since Aperture Science was the rival of Black Mesa, the old members of Black Mesa were astonished to know that Mossman had found the ship. The combine are now apparently going to reside in the Borealis, and that's all we know until Episode 3 :)

  • @craponnaruto Black mesa had heard about the success with the ASHPD (the portal gun) and decided to try something similar except they used information from Xen to work on teleportation instead of portals. aperture science, who by this time was running out of funding decided in a last ditch effort to split their fund between the teleporter technology and AI, the results were the Borealis incident and GLaDOS.

  • I thinkt people that only have one word "fake" in their brain should be executed! Maybe this is a fake too then?

  • The cake is a lie

  • "I'm Gona cut you short I think we've been spoted"

    O really?

    What Gave you that Idea?

  • its the portal gun on the borealis portal was "training" for the portal gun

  • On gmodfiles search for "Borealis", there is a set of maps, 1 is possibly from the beta, BUT 1 of the others is AN EXACT REPLICA of the EPISODE 3 concept art!!!!!

  • That ship looks delicious and moist.

  • nice vid, i will try to borrow ep2 from my friend tomorrow, so i can try it out :D

    also, a fun fact:

    In the early days of Half-Life 2, Borealis was to be visited. At that point, Aperture Science Laboratories had the name Arbeit Laboratories.

  • Now: the Borealis is a research ship that Aperture Science created before the creation of GLaDOS. This research ship was lost a long time ago, but Dr. Mossman managed to find it somehow. This the data would be able to help the Resistance fight back against the Combine, somehow.

  • Valve doesn't reveal anything about the Borealis to even the noclippers :D

  • I dont understand what the borealis IS. Ive played through the game multiple times,and still dont.

    halp?

  • you don't see the giant motherfucking ship labeled "Borealis" in the data file you have to carry for miles to the white forest base?

  • @stealthtaco37 fucker.I said I dont understand what it is. its a big ship,why is that important to the resistance?

  • @warriorxt8 All we know is that it's a ship owned by Aperture Laboratories. It is known that Aperture was working on teleportation technology to compete with Black Mesa, and one day the Borealis vanished into thin air, taking part of its dock along. The ship most likely holds something having to do with Aperture's teleporter, but we don't know for sure. In HL2, we found out that the Combine's teleporters are far inferior to the Resistance's, so it would presumably be bad if they found the ship.

  • sry i ment to type both xD

  • i hardley think hl2 and portal would combine in ep3.

    MAIN REASON: portal is a puzzle-type game.

    half life is an action fps (first person shooter) the gameplay would be dificult if you have to add bot action and stratagy (as much as portal 1 needed) into an fps like hl2

  • But you did not factor in that they are connected, no matter what type of games they are. Also, there is a lot more that goes behind portal than simple Puzzles. Even though it's a short game, it has a lot of "easter eggs" in it.

  • I think portal was made just to introduce to us the idea of portals - they can be integrated very nicely in HL dont you think...

  • hl2 is an action/puzzle game, not just action. also, portal 2.

  • Lololol Episode 2 uses an RT camera.

  • Its alot smaller in person

  • how do you get it

  • The military was there to take the fall after the clean up operation had "INITIALLY" failed. So the Black ops were sent in to blow the place up with a nuke to attempt to have it fully covered up. The Gman was involved because he was the one who gave the science team the Xen crystal, which they later used in their test, and cause a resonance cascade.

  • Maby he wanted the portal to open.

  • I don't think Gman was behind black mesa incident. Then why would he send the military to stop the disaster? As I know dr. Breen got the crystal from the combine to open the portal to the Earth. Gman is actually helping Gordon to crash the combine

  • what chapter this is?

  • they are going to tie in portal with the half-life seris in episode 3.

  • apture sceince was the thing behing black mesa wnst it

  • the black mesa disaster? no that was the GMan

  • nah,

    apature science was anther company into research like black mesa,

    they both tried to get government funding, but black mesa usally won most the time. so they made the borealis quickly and unstable taking risks and risks of its employees and that lot lol. it is suppoesd to be based on the philidelphia experiment about the ship dissapearing.

    apautre science is portal i think, anit played portal in ages, didnt appeal to me much.

  • NOCLIP Cheat loser

  • noclip is a cheat and it does require sv_cheats to be enabled.

  • you are wrong

    noclip is a CHEAT COMMAND

  • @Alex13N in gmod is not cheating but in TF2 HF2 Portal And l4d is.

  • just play it with comments on and u ll find out....

  • weird portal is somehow kinda connected to half life SWEET that makes me want ep 3 more

  • 1:30 APATURE SCIENCE SIGN!

  • Aperture is the principal concorrent of Black Mesa in tecnologies industries, but aperture is more advanced and I think that borealis its from Aperture Labs

  • If you've ever made maps for source engine games, you would know that you can't play video in maps. You can only show footage of real-time videos. So for them to be showing video of the Borealis, they have to actually have it somewhere in the map. So anytime you see a tv playing something in HL2 or any of the source games, that video is actually being acted out somewhere in the map. So that clip of mossman getting attacked in the clip is also somewhere in the map.

  • yep, exactly right.

  • @Backwardsman97 Actually, the Source engine does have the ability to play Bink Video on surfaces now, as of Portal 2.

  • @SuperSmashDolls That's cool. Well as of this EP2 you couldn't. I wanna look into the sdk for portal 2 though.

  • @Backwardsman97 it's not really useful for modders though, because there are no freely available Bink encoders... :/

  • @SuperSmashDolls Dang, that sucks.

  • Portal takes place during the half life series. Look at the FMP

  • is it just me or does it say capture on the side of the container hanging by the borealis?

  • i believe that would be "aperture" ?

  • ahahh

  • I highly doubt that the Portal Gun will be in Half-Life two: Episode Two, considering that Portal happens around 80 years after Half-Life (or so I heard).

  • You heard wrong.

  • Well, most of us already know that you don't use the portalgun in in EP2 since most of us have already played it. I wish that the portalgun does not get included in episode three though. But i am however confident that valve doesn't mess up the half life series.

  • lol you didnt care about the blueprints of god knows what. but it is a map the devalpoers (sorry for mis spell) are going to use it epsoide 3 it also has a "test chamber" where it may hold the portal gun or GlaDos or both

  • if you have developer commentary valve explains that they just do the scene on the TV in another room on the map

  • yes u were right..i was a noob that time and i didnt know its a room for tv n stuff and i tought its the real borealis i was wtf borealis this is gonna go to youtube lol!

  • @Mythbusters246 Naw man, I thought it was clever

  • the combine portal was closed in ep 2 so maybe the combines are trying to get the supposed portal device located on the borealis

  • yes but the map pack was made by a player not Valve. it is in the portal flash map pack for pc based off of the portal flash game made by the same people.

  • Yes, it's the same universe. In fact, there are references to Black Mesa in Portal too.

  • yup in the credits when i heard black mesa in the credits i was like WTF

  • ooooooooooooooooh spoiler!!! hahaha :P

    but yeah.. that was a sad scene indeed. some goooood voice acting too

  • When you play Portal, and you knock a core away from her, notice how it "floats away"? GLaDOS can manipulate the Energy Field that her generator naturally makes. This causes GLaDOS to have limited psychic power. Now, no clip to the platform that she put her core on up high, in the corner there's a LAZER O_o.

    Anyway GLaDOS's energy source is her Particle Accelerator. See that paper that he nocliped to? its the blueprint of the Borealis.

  • no. the borialis was not in portal, but its in the univerce. :)

  • Cooool, does anyone know why when I play the Half Life 2 Demo i cant hear people when they are like on a big screen

  • GlaDOS is not a weapon it stands for Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System. Its an artificial intellegence computer. Play Portal, you'll see. Aperture labs is competing with black mesa because they are both trying to create portals.

  • "Find the boat and destroy it"

  • Aperture WAS battling Black Mesa...

    Black Mesa fail.

    By discovering this, Eli wants Gordon to destroy the Borealis, which we have to believe that could be the Aperture Science base, or not.

    Cause now that the BM faild, Aperture wants to take the world over..

  • oo 9,600 views!! tq

  • they're so devious having a ice breaker when black mesa only had a laberatory. im hearing its either full of a big weapon, glados, black mesa failed research attempts, and many other things.

  • GlaDOS is not a weapon it stands for Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System. Its an artificial intellegence computer. Play Portal, you'll see. Aperture labs is competing with black mesa because they are both trying to create portals.

  • you act like i havent played it. i have and i know what all your talking about. stop acting like a smartass.

  • anyone notice the aperture science logo?

  • I was about to say

  • oh yeah.

  • nice

  • the aperture science and black mesa are old rivals

  • hey guys i know that the borialis is the apitur science boat but whats so powerfull about it?? its just a boat!

  • Its not the boat. Its whats IN the boat.

  • then whats in the boat??

  • Cake.

    There will be cake.

  • i hope chocelate cake oterwise aperture can stick it somewere were the sun dont shine

  • @RyuKin NO! The cake is a lie!!!

  • OMFGBBQWTF XD tht is awesome

  • omg thats awesome!

  • how do you not know wat the borealis, if you havent completed episode you wont know though ?

  • oh i get it,but it might not be true.so heres a thought,maybe GlaDos is in the borealis.she was just controlling the robot hangin upside down from the borealis.that info could be false.

  • all we currently know (without ANY theorys) is that its a ship in the half life universe used to transport a very powerful weapon...what the weapon is, no one has any actual proof, but there biggest theory going is it contains the computer GLaDOS from 'Portal'

  • im thinking the same thing cuz borealis was done by apertue and glados was part of the death of apertue science

  • GLaDOS is mean -.-

  • maybe the powerful weapon is like a gaint portal gun like thing because diden't the gameportal come in the timeline like a few years before hl2?

  • well, ever made this connection: The combine need a portal to get to earth. And if portal took place before HL2, do you think that Aperture could be in some way responsible for the combine?

  • does gordon ever eat food?

  • He ate around 20 liters of grub organs in Episode Two.

  • when?

  • When he traveled through the antlion caves.

  • this is why the xbox360 version needs a console

  • portal and half life 2 are cnnected and i saw many props in hl2 from the borealis

  • guys the reason there is Borealis content in Episode 2 is that while the Judith trasmission is playing, you can noclip THROUGH the screen and into that room...dont know why Valve made it like that but i've done it pretty interesting

  • THey maker it like that so the scenes on screens are inside the game, instead of recordings done seperately.

  • Yeah YOU found it!

  • Thats Strange man... WHY IN HL2 there is BOREALIS PROPS like this door and other?... In HL2 not ep2 And ep1 not scenes with borealis... Maybe valve specially writed all the series of HL2 and now only creating them???....

    Thats very stange!

  • i bought orange box for my xbox but its so good, im buying it for pc too

  • lol!apeture science!portal!so is the borelis black masa's or apeture science's?

  • It was a boat for

    // \

    II APERTURE

    \\_/ LABORATORIES

    Them and BM are competittors and what they where working on was bad of soming so thay had to take the boat and hide it some where safe. In HLE3 your mish is to go find it and do something (they dident tell us) with it. I hope there are lots of new guns and crap in it

  • im glad valve are putting there games on consoles now you must agree everyone pc or console should experience half life it may be better on pc but its still brilliant on console and valve arnt complaining about thr 85million the mad in the first 3-4 week from console and pc as long as consoles and pc get it im happy as long as valve keep amking half life im happy

  • episode 3 is out this christmas on all formats really looking forward to it especially seeing as how fantastic half life 2 eopisode 2 was it has alot to live up too but most of all i wanna see more open ended battles like at the end of episode 2

  • All Format eeh?

    I can imagen HL on the wii...

  • i dont want to *flashes back to red steel, farcry etc.*

  • episode 3 is out this christmas on all formats really looking forward to it especially seeing as how fantastic half life 2 eopisode 2 was it has alot to live up too but most of all i wanna see more open ended battles like at the end of episode 2

  • They are discussing putting a portal gun in episode 3 at the end of 2 u get in the helicopter and fly 2 the borealis....(you dont see this in-game) I cant wait 4 ep 3

    Nice vid 5*

  • me too

  • maybe we can find a portal gun in it :D:D:D

  • i dont understand wats the big deal about the boreallis like it just looks like a cargo ship plz reply

  • The ship belongs to Aperture (have you played Portal?), you can see their logo on the hull, and apparently the ship has some secret research that could stop the combine.

  • o thanks

  • is this only for th pc? plz reply:(

  • hmm im sry im not so sure bout that..but i think its only for pc.

  • Yeah, its only for pc, The only cheats for the orange box for the xbox 360 are in portal

  • well...its for pc and xbox360..i found out already..but i dun thinkxbox360 can actually noclip.

  • eli dies i are sadist

  • DIBS ON THE H.H.P.D.!

  • ASHPD. :D

  • Its a skybox

  • aperture science sign on the boat? now i have no doubts there there will be the portal gun in ep 3

  • You really haven't been following the Half Life story have you? We already knew it was made by Aperture, the people behind Portal just decided to do a little tie in.

  • oddworld....that is clearly a theory because it has not been even mentioned by valve.

  • Ahahaha lol.....lemme translate pippo's language

    1.Oh My God thats Impossible!

    2.Try and finish half life 2 episode 3

    3.Destroy THE BOREALIS

    Urm just my theory..
