The Gary Hudston Project (Portal 2 Engagement)

[chemoman1]

Holy shit I hope I can come up with something as original as this for my own proposal.

[DaMirrorLink]

who else checked their skype at 2:00?

[funnypix100]

Best proposal EVAR I hope you have a lovely wedding

[hachre]

very very nice :)

[Fireproofretz]

all I can say is WOW!!

[reviben]

damn,just epicness

[TheJanajanajanjan]

That was EPIC!! And such a beautiful song at the end!

[TheLastHylianTitan]

GENIUS.

[SGirvan]

Well, just incase nobody else has jumped on here to inform the interwebs, these two got hitched on Wednesday!

[eclipseofthedawn]

This is how I want to propose to my gf

[Twizler1000]

aww that was sweet, it was a proposal!

[Reyrocksall]

I'll see your raise Gary...

[bengui122]

Are those actual sound clips from the origional game? And, is it going to be longer?

[nonstoplozzer]

This was simply beautiful, it takes quite a bit to make me cry :')

[kikiyoinuyasha]

OMG when GlAdos said Stephanie i started freaking out since that is my name. I was SO freaked out i had to pause and look around the room for a few min. Gosh XD

[ReligiousHero]

This is amazing.

[derptyderp]

oh my goodness

oh

*wistful sigh*

[yes6its9me]

so, am i the only one who got some 80's muscle man band?

[Link0X]

This is the greatest thing I have ever seen! So touching!

[qwertyuiop298]

...Why isn't this a downloadable mod again?

[CourtWolfe07]

Aww, so sweet! And it was amazing job with the level development too. Those were great puzzles and wouldn't mind playin' 'em myself. So uber sweet though. I wouldda cried.

[Spartain1998]

awww thats how i want my boyfriend to propose to me!

[leif011]

this is amazing, how did they get the voices! ha brilliant and the level design was ...i hate to use the word twice but it was! it was amazing! ha

[DrTorture28]

EXCELLENT!!! I am moved by this.

[GTNPLZ]

NERD LOVE !!!!!!!!!!11

[Fractorification]

How did you get Glados to say these stuff? Did you use a voice actress? Or did you somehow edit Ellen McLean's voice? It's charming :D

[watchesyoushower]

@Fractorification they actually hired the real voice actress

[Fractorification]

@watchesyoushower Wow, I;m surprised Valve didn't copyright the Glados Voice. And it's nice to see that Ellen did that for them. How sweet.

[yocapo32]

@Fractorification He got Ellen McLean herself to do that

[srsharg]

145 people with no heart watched this

[qwertyuiop298]

@srsharg I have no heat. I throw broken bottles at happy couples on Valentines Day. And I was touched by this. 145 people don't just lack a heart, but worse: good taste.

[Tweetiex]

awesome!

[Pinkstarclan]

THIS IS THE SWEETEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN!!

[Zaldermenia]

I find no words capable of describing this.

And yet, awesome.

[Player1Adam]

Does anyone know the song at the end?

[6Shooter28]

@Player1Adam "Exile Vilify" by The National. I think they wrote it for the game.

[Arjahn767]

How'd you get the GlaDOS voice to say all of that?

[HarrisonRocks]

@Arjahn767

Apparently he hired the voice actress of GlaDOS to say it all for him, as well as two game designers to make the levels, pretty badass dude.

[Beaaars]

I even read the top two comments and STILL somehow managed to panic when I heard the skype noises and looked around only to realize skype wasn't even open.

aaaaa

[Arriator]

So. Fucking. Awesome.

[CdrChaos]

::Claps because there are no words for how beautiful this is::

[PowerDohnut]

@CdrChaos Agreed. So beautiful. And 'Exile Vilify' played at just the right time.

[kyliroth]

Brilliant. Absolutely.

[fr4ncesco9001]

Beautiful.

[iGame360fficial]

The worlds cheapest wedding.. $69.99

[juliop101]

Man wouldn't it have sucked if she said no? Thumbs up?

[EXP282]

This is beautiful.

[blahcoolsauce7]

You can say no, I'm sure he will get over it... eventually

[takanuva114]

By the way, (Sorry for two comments in a row) that ending nearly made me tear up. I'm a nerd and my boyfriend is always complaining about how he thinks his proposal wasn't romantic, but I don't care. If he did some complicated thing like this, I would've said yes. If he just asked me out of the blue, I still would've said yes. <3

[takanuva114]

These puzzles are so well-made, it's amazing.

[MIZAANLOLO]

So coll is portal 3?

[Mtoff]

The entire setup was beautiful, and GlaDOS remains slightly cynical as always. It just disappoints me that the top comments are about the few Skype noises.

[ItzJustGabby]

I just love this video XD

[nooblangpoo]

Looks like GLaDOS didn't really deleted Caroline.

[Sp1riTCHL]

lmao skype sounds make me look at skype everytime

[TheKyshu]

Great! So awesome :D

[bingostar826]

i love how the whole first room is a symbol of unity. the whole two imperfect what looked like unfinished rooms coming together to make one complete room was awesome foreshadowing

[morrighanscrow]

Damn it. This is the second time I've watched this, and I still checked Skype.

[TheHejThere]

The ring was a lie ...

[wariorules101011]

Thumbs up if you checked your Skype for messages after hearing the sounds at 1:57.

[MetalGirlzRawr]

...That was amazing. I'd love to marry that guy!

[BrutusTheDork]

I'm almost in tears right now. I only hope I can come up with something as amazing as that some day. sucks only being 14.

[FloridaLawDawg]

Im crying now

[Vierkantswortel2]

Epic!!!!!

[kain5330]

Shit! Skype!

[DARKZERO116]

Lol... Skype XD

[whistleforthebigcash]

Masterwork.

[n06rin]

It so cute! So perfect work with panels but it is not important.

but glados is good?

[biltongza]

I'd marry this guy. nohomo.

[kignama]

so damn cool....

[Demonbassplayer101]

This should be released as DLC for the PS3 and Xbox. Not just for pc.

[MegaManiol]

haven't played portal two at all but are every level in it random like this one?

[yak00zy]

that fucking skype notification got me crazy, was checking my phone and computer :S

[Subwoofer043]

Man you are awesome! I would like to design brilliant levels like you. At the present time im just a mapper.

[fredloikbred]

Fuck you Skype notifications

[pspmatax]

I thought it was my skype -.-'

[ShadowGlove84]

Damn...this is the way to propose to a girl. They are gonna be real happy. :)

[blacknova555]

So who here paused the video to check Skype? xD

[Ezeeth]

@blacknova555 I did :D:D

[neoduke007]

Ok downloaded it, doesn't work as it is a .vpk... and the install system for that has been bugged since the DLC update....

[SaitamEel]

It would have been so much better if it was co-op. You know, solving puzzles together and not being alone during the proposal. But it was still a good job.

[neoduke007]

wow very nice downloading now!!!

[dumboleifi]

This is just....wow

[serpanterra]

Hah, the player had Skype on in the background. That was confusing me for a bit, kept checking my Skype!

[supersnake1444]

well the related videos gave it away

[jimmyvon789]

Good thing she didn't try to get a walkthrough.

[quazamuhaha]

138 people have no souls.

[B4lLKrok]

who checked skype at 2:00?

[mattsmasher0000]

@B4lLKrok Several times, actually... I actually had Skype open at the time, and kept hearing notification dings. I swear I was looking back and forth the whole time! XD

[Genstrider]

Giving away too much with the Glados voices.

The chick who played this probably figured it out after 3 minutes?

[AuSSiEJaZzA]

@Genstrider She went thru the puzzles like she'd done it before.

I gather she was sus from the start huh.

[Genstrider]

@AuSSiEJaZzA You're stupid

The person who played this was the guy who made it

Are you that dense?

[AuSSiEJaZzA]

@Genstrider I was led to believe that a female was playing and her name was stephanie.

[Genstrider]

@AuSSiEJaZzA Sucks that you're illiterate and couldn't read the start of the video

[BLAZINGxFURY]

i...It...its...ITS BEAUTIFUL!!!

[LordRedfire00]

"id hate to be trapped with one person the rest of my life wouldnt you? "<lol so ironic

[Qffline]

at 6:35 the elevator goes up, but arrives downwards..

[durpien]

@It falls down to the proper level, it stuttered

[rafaelsalinas58]

I want this video on my my855c phone.

[Cyanuret]

uau

[AnkhOmega]

That was pretty "D'awwwwwww" right there.

[DjReedu]

Just awsome !

The elivator goes up :D :D

[nyjets4life6]

you sir, are my hero!

[truepridejb]

this was wonderful

[Sandvichslammer]

That is one of the amazingest moments in self-made gaming history.Keep going man,you're a mapping genius.

[jaffabar69]

whose skype is it. mine or the vids?

[MsVictorieh]

I WANNA BE PROPOSED TO IN WoW >: (

[wwhales]

that was possibly THE cutest proposal i have EVER seen!

[TheDragonn29]

O_O

[Kenrouke]

I wish a very happy divorce to the both of them.

[ThysaniaAg]

Very cute. Congrats on your excellent work.

[WingLiger496]

If this happened to me, I'd SO marry that guy.

[The6thMagnitudeMan]

Very classy, sir

[elvenstar32]

This is beyond cool...

[rolandhensle24]

This video went viral on Korea, North

[bokrin]

I know that I'm male but damn...I WOULD marry this guy :O

[MrBlackgrim23]

@bokrin yup. you're definitely gay.. hahaha joking.. XD

[m44ever]

New update for Team Fortress 2 includes wedding ring :)

[Creomortis]

Bravo

[dropdead156]

that was awesome 

[Ekas12345]

whats the name of the song in the end?

[Hobbescotch13]

@Ekas12345 "Exile Vilify" by the National

[gentlewom4n]

This is amazing.

[hhhyhbkdx]

Can you answer this please , How did you use GLADOS's voice , did you used an externall program or does the Portal 2 SDK has a tool to make GLADOS lines?

[mujuranokamen]

@hhhyhbkdx The guy actually hired the woman who made GLaDOS voice to do this.

[7Drifloon7]

@mujuranokamen Ellen Mclain is awesome for doing this!

[mer2d2]

What if she said no...

[Beerbottles123]

@mer2d2 Then you'd break his heart. You monster.

[roselover411]

wow. that was just seriously epic. i've never seen something so cool in my life.

[supermario863]

thumbs up if you thought you got skype messages

[NiggalasCage]

omg this is so cool!

[Twistedmindcontrol]

That was the most amazing thing i've seen in my whole life...

[ohadbasan]

AMAZING!

[martialmichael126]

That was amazing.

[molly1002]

That was so sweet! :*) I started crying!! So sweet!! I hope someone proposes to me like this! :)

[thesailormercury2]

GLaDOS has a soft side how cute

[KaleidoscopeOwl]

Aww! Thats so cute!

[guyishguy9000]

thumbs up if u saqw this on break first :/

[Sleexb]

How did they sign Glados' voice actor on board? Maybe everyone sounds like that after being run through filters?

[Chronus8888]

@Sleexb "Gary Hudston was able to get the full support of Valve — including Portal writer Erik Wolpaw and GLaDOS voice actress Ellen McLain — in his proposal to girlfriend Stephanie Harbeson."

[C01212uqti0n]

The wedding cake is a lie!

[jeffbennett22]

Is there an API or something for just telling the GLaDOS voice to say what you want?

[uberl33tguy]

@jeffbennett22 No, Valve agreed to help ;)

[CosmicD]

@jeffbennett22 it's just a human voice being processed with melodyne, I've got a tutorial on that one on youtube.

[PerfectKirby]

@CosmicD No, it was the actual voice actress

[SuperSmashDolls]

@jeffbennett22 No, GLaDOS is an actual voice actor (with extensive opera background) and she did some voice lines specifically for this custom map.

[2ploo]

i thought that this was the GREATEST way to propose. congratulations to the couple!!!

[IRfilesI]

this would be so epic if she said NO x) yes i know im horrible

[MangekyouKitten]

OMMMGGG That is just... awwww...(I don't usually act like this..BUT THAT'S SO EPIC.)

[UnicornRainbowsyay]

AAAAWWWWWWWW!!! :D

[wanderlustwarrior]

great level, even better proposal. Congratulations to the couple.

I need to find me a woman and a game to bond over.

[MyGothiKa22]

this is so amazing ;-;

[xXErineilXx]

This was fantastic. When Exile Vilify came on, I just about lost it. :P <3

[1kirsticles1]

This was truly amazing!!! good luck to you both <3

[Bluuberee]

That is so unbelievably sweet! Good work everyone involved and best of luck to Gary and Steph!

[McScootyKins]

Best proposal ever, everyone else go home.

[kalvaza]

I give it 6 months.

[SakuraHaruno824]

That is such genius!! I love it!!!

[Sp3ctre18]

I thought the two halves of the room coming together as one, was another neat analogy. :)

[MrZizzy5]

Nerdies Proposal EVER. Awesome, though.

[mkosis]

Did anyone else keep checking their Skype every time the blip sounded while watching this video?

[SupMamma88]

@mkosis LOL!!! yes Im not the only one

[eitamaa]

@mkosis actually I checked my skype while reading your comment... slow processing?

[ZeroFlames117]

@mkosis yep



[1uphydro]

Excellent work. We are working on a portal mod at my school, nothing near this scope though.

[Akatsuki590]

Relationship done right.

[Herarry]

I'm not sure I'd accept the offer if it was asked through Glados...

[MrCody434]

That was awesome never even thought of that before I kinda want to do that now!
