Rat-Man's Final Transmission *decoded*

[KillaTemplar]

creepy :O

[konachify]

I have a question.... RX-SSTV is supposed to automatically take the signal right? I can't get mine to work..

[StressedYeti]

@konachify ok, there are so many different kinds of format for them to be, but the initial tone usually tells the program what format it is in and triggers the star of the decipher.

make sure you either have your sound going from the game through your computer's sound card/speakers (or at least into a mic going into your sound card).

then, make sure you have your recording devices set up to receive from the stereo mix (or mic in)

Cheers!

[konachify]

@StressedYeti Alright, thanks for the help, mate!

[flyboy61699]

Can you do this for all of the transmissions in Portal 1 please?

[breanna819100]

what is your backround dude?

[PXNDXFrEacK]

I wonder if portal 3 is going to be based in the moon and earth

[daemon2797]

Wow how did you think of this? And also why would they put that in there? I wouldnt think anyone wouldve found it.

[Shutterflyify]

Crazy, dude. Thanks!

[wingliy]

see this is where people like u relly make the game interesting to watch and play thx for the discovery :)

[MistressJayPom]

Woah, where did you get that thing that turns sound into pictures??? I really want that, dang! :D

[lolke12]

ratman is companion cube o.o

[VinnyVanYiffy]

@StressedYeti Here's a dumb little request, can you find out if this means anything? watch?v=9C6lymtHG60 I just put 2 and 2 together a while ago and realized how similar these sounds are. If it does translate to anything it might just be the most important discovery in mankind's history. Just curious. Hope to hear from you soon

[StressedYeti]

@VinnyVanYiffy That's a really valid question!

But alas, no.

What you are hearing in the audio from Saturn, Jupiter, ect is the fluctuation in the magnetosphere of the planets.

Because of the barrage of ionized particles (solar wind), the magnetospheres warp and form tear-drop shapes. the fat or blunt end builds up ionized particles, also known as a "Bow Shock" that's what most of the pops and booms are. the rest is from the probe picking up the oscillations of the magnetosphere.

[VinnyVanYiffy]

@StressedYeti Well that's slightly disappointing but fascinating and answers my question. Thanks on behalf of the Space Core

[MarkSKristensen]

Wow epic

[BrainTh3Postman]

is he Jack Black?

[TrystantheMutant510]

so, what program did you use?

[Tsnuamiman]

He's in the cube at the end of portal and flys away to SSSPPPPPPPPAAAAAACCCCCEEEE

[CthulhuianBunny]

Dude, that is awesome!!

[jesta08]

What a GREAT find. I pride myself in my dorky ability to find all easter eggs on my first run through of virtually any game... but this my friend, I missed, and I am thoroughly impressed that 1) You found it, and 2) That the dev. team created it! Just WOW

[StressedYeti]

@jesta08 Thank you, sir!

[WholesomeBurn]

MAH MIND!

[Kaboose1475]

Ohai Jack Black!

[RollerPorridge9869]

omg that is v. v. v. clever...

[rebeccafox112]

what's your desktop picture? :3

[Thiefenz]

Eldrazi

[InvaderPark]

:0

[sonictard12]

wait...the cube is on the moon...u saw tht thing right u know the shuttle thing...somehow maybe ratman could be in that surviving somehow O_O thts just my logic i find createrborgs logic more favorable but still

[FDPS3]

Ratman took a picture of the cube on the Moon. IN SPAAAAACE!

[CreatorBorg]

Like maybe he wants to go to the moon to find something or something... :P

[CreatorBorg]

please tell me if you think im correct or incorrect, but if ratman is sort of obsessed with the moon, could aperture science have put his mind into the robot thing that is obsessed with the moon? That obsessed moon robot is actually ratman? tell me if this is impssible or if i just might have found something.. :)

[owlcat11]

HOLY O_O

[unnammeduser]

No way, are you serious? That's insane.

[JanembaDude72]

Where in the game is this?

[awesomeguy24355]

ratman is crazy o.o

[commandoknife29]

the ratmans transmission is "Britney dont have another baby!"

[mattbatcraz]

Companion Cube.. ON THE MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­ON!

[rodderzfe]

how do u switch it back to sound?

[StressedYeti]

@rodderzfe You can do it with the same program I used to decode it. I have a video (words of warning) where I made made my own SSTV transmission. If you want, I'll make a vid on how to do it.

[GammaWALLE]

...

Sequel Hook for Portal 3?

[steamempire]

There are lots of theese sounds in portal 1 could you do the same there?

[TheAlen081]

may have something to do with the moon landing

[ItzThatBrad]

Nice find man. First video I came across.



[TheEarthsLittleAngel]

Maybe it doesn't mean Ratman is in space maybe its giving away the Portal 2 ending.

[dakota742742]

What is that software called?

[PleaseNotAgain1]

@dakota742742 RX - SSTV

[videoviewer413]

What is the software he is using that shows that picture that he made with the noises?

[EphraimRodrigez]

homygod homygod homygod homygod homygod HEEES IN SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE

[pichugirl110]

[stinger4651]

[EricDownz]

..did he escape the way we almost died? D:

[EphraimRodrigez]

@EricDownz hopefully not because he might not have a space suit

[uriah621]

That's a weighted storage cube

[StressedYeti]

@uriah621 you are right... damn.

Well, I feel foolish :)

[Gmodjunkie112]

@StressedYeti no he isnt its a cube on the moon, the wite ball is the earth

[kapiharts]

@uriah621 I think it's companion cube.

[BlueIceNinja98]

@uriah621 no its the companion cube

[Forgeworld117]

@uriah621 Go to google images and search "Portal 2 companion cube on moon" You can get a better look at the picture and see that its a Companion Cube.

[hitler8me]

wait...what's the name of the program you used?

[CasperFour20]

mind = blown. i love you. keep on making these videos!

[RexMcMonkey]

That's so fucking cool

[KittyhawkFox]

loooool. Automagically. But that is cool.

[iheartcreeperhugz]

wait probaly behind that wall in the prize award testchamber was him recording saying im going to the moon amazing also that tsestchamber was ratman because it sayed it in the comic he was the smartest scientist in apeture labratories so he got a suprize on that testchamber.

@StressedYeti You probably already said it but what was the name of the program?

[SonicBoom8797]

@iheartcreeperhugz so portal three can it be can it be on the moon ?

[xxbdn144xx]

@iheartcreeperhugz rat man is the one who made chell wake uo from fifty days to 9999999999999999999999999, rat man did that, he made glados, he is the reason for the fall of mankind. he also has a bullethole in his leg

[JOBEL777]

rat-man escaped! but then probably died on the moon due to lack of oxygen

[Tonsuma]

The album was Year Zero, by the way.

[Angry0hime0cries0]

NIN for the win! <3 haha they are really useful now :)

[youASUCKproductios]

SPOILER- in the end of portal 2 you sent wheatly and a crap ton of other junk to te moon so when you get to that port slow it down and see if rattmans in the junk pile

[sauskeuchia1000]

Sorry hes telling us that he's on the moon

[sauskeuchia1000]

Maybe Ratman is on the moon transmitting telling us he's u

[poiuytrewq11422]

thtas cool and in portal 2 you go to the moon IT WAS A CLUE

[GodofReapers]

It's With Teeth if I'm not mistaken.

[Coolrx24]

we're you trying to figure this out for so long and grew that beard? :3

[SongahmTemple]

Jack black plays portal??

[LimeyGirl00]

That was pimp.

[caos1925]

you should walk around the game with that on and decode everything he says with this

[NERVSoundtracks]

Duuuuude...

Is that a cthulu wallpaper? :D

[StressedYeti]

@NERVSoundtracks

It is a painting from a Magic the Gathering card. I would post a link to the painting, but apparently I can't post links in comments >.>

strange thing is, I have Cthulu wallpaper right now...

*looks around for hidden cameras*

[NERVSoundtracks]

@StressedYeti I know right. Google's being a right pain in the backside with the lack of link posting. Just with the tentacle looking things to the left and the things that look like wings... Man, I've been reading too many classic novels on my ereader. *continues with the hobbit*

[catmaster90]

@StressedYeti No Cthulu.......EYE OF CTHULU FTW

[dimnot2000]

@StressedYeti You play Magic? When did you start?

[StressedYeti]

@dimnot2000 hmm, a while ago... hehehe.

I think it was my sophmore year in HS, so...

2001?

[Aaron78061]

you look like ratman!!!

[StressedYeti]

@Aaron78061 ... I feel like Rat-Man!

[texjdsimon]

@Aaron78061 OMG i was going to say that :D

[awesomeguy24355]

@Aaron78061 no he looks like jack black

[Aaron78061]

@awesomeguy24355 him too

[wonderguardstalker]

Wow dude! amazing.

[trancanhphu]

WTF MAN YOU AFRAID YOUR MOMMY'S GONNA CATCH YOU!? I CAN'T FRICKING SEE

[StressedYeti]

@trancanhphu Lol, no.

... my wife on the other hand...

;D

[jackawaka]

can u decode all the signals from portal 1 plz?

[StressedYeti]

@jackawaka Ooh!

I must have missed those! I will go back through Portal 1 and check for those.

(any clue of where I should start first?)

[jackawaka]

@StressedYeti uuh, i think itsthe first ones the radio in the test chamber u start in , u take it to a specific place(i forgot) and it starts playing some kind of code similar to the one on ur vid

[jackawaka]

@StressedYeti i tryed to find em all so i could get an achievement in portal one, but i gave up as it needs real skill to get to the actual radio's and also takes ages to find the signal

[sgaevan1567]

@StressedYeti Do you think it will work with Rat Man's voice?

[Noobshire]

This is how we used to load games with a cassette haha

[herban123]

ratman predicts your future with those transmissions.

[LordZazan]

Cool,what about ratmans secret transmition?do you actually find that in the game?

[ELITEKILLZ44]

People think portal is all bout shootin shit at walls FUCK THEM valve put a shit load of time into this game and portal 2 people need to respect that!!!

[scoat13]

really amazing congrads

[MalfunctionsSuck]

Wow, I suddenly have a lot of respect for valve.

[MrLinkawsome]

compainion cube IN SPACE!!!!!!

[digimbyte]

SPAAAACE!!!

[CookiesComics]

what is the program u use to decode those messages?

[StressedYeti]

@CookiesComics The program is called RX-SSTV (it was a free download)

If you do a quick search for SSTV (slow scan television) you'll find a good number of coders and decoders. RX-SSTV is pretty easy and versatile so I really have no complaints with it ;-)

[Danirocks1221]

dude that is so damn cool!

[cozaassy9]

could you do that for the end song?

[StressedYeti]

@cozaassy9 I'm not sure what you mean.

[12kohl]

@StressedYeti the credits, still alive or something like this

[TheAwesomeMooMoo]

@StressedYeti They mean the Turret Opera song, Cara Mia. It's in Italian, so good luck. :D

[cozaassy9]

@StressedYeti like at the end credits there is a song could you use your program for the tune of the song and see if there is a picture for it

[StressedYeti]

@cozaassy9 I tried, but it doesn't have the right trigger tones or patterns to be an SSTV transmission. It comes out looking like a magic-eye picture without the whole magic-eye aspect. It's just a big jumble... like technicolor static :D

[cozaassy9]

@StressedYeti Ok thanks

[TheVGamer]

It's awesome but I was expecting something about HL3.... :(

[mac105495]

DAAAA MOOOOOON

[MrCool87867]

Holy Fucking Shit thats awesome



[kanokarob12]

I love sound imaging.

[XgottahavemychucksX]

I'm PRETTY SURE you're the first person to find this. At least that I've seen.

God, I love VALVe.

[starwar93]

looks like apeture iz makin a new space program,look out Chell >:)

[Azuraspace]

i don't wanna sound mean but.. thank fuck for nerds XD

[DarkEldChaosTau158]

SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAACE

[Junksizlak]

NO WAY. I just cried. Alot.

[Seryosin]

This is just awesome. :D

[MK95Productions]

that is so cool! thx for sharing :)

[GalatikRobert]

who want that program, type rx sstv in google XD

[simiwinterbreeze1]

[sethhero]

sure they can make sonic decriptions but they cant count to 3!? WHAT THE HELL MAN

[GreenShark4]

"Like this one Nine Inch Nails album.."

Likes. Favorites. Subscribes.

[tmygeetar]

ay least u didnt record it with a fork L0L (not trying to be mean)

[StressedYeti]

@tmygeetar No offense taken, I saw that video!

(I used a spoon)

[JDaMac815]

@StressedYeti Can you use a Potato next time? :D

[SharkSterz]

@StressedYeti awww you should have used a spork

[legomaster4888]

@StressedYeti

[masshiromiroshi]

Two words: Holy Shit!

[xXRohan16Xx]

portal 3 tooo the moon we need to save it

[pmannersii]

i've always wondered if someone could decode that... tis really cool.

[ArkenosDeTeskos]

^_________^ That's so cool!

[StressedYeti]

@ArkenosDeTeskos ZOMG I know!

I'm working on going through and making a video of all the major goodies (That I can find)

Wish me luck :D

[ArkenosDeTeskos]

@StressedYeti yar is good lucks to you, as I understand portal one had some spoilers for 2 in it, similar set up, just never thought to go on it myself. Post more if you get to :D

[StressedYeti]

@ArkenosDeTeskos Will do!

:D

[CyCloppsProductions]

SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!

[nabbo454]

So, I would like to know what that software is. Nice find, btw.

[StressedYeti]

@nabbo454 The program is called RX-SSTV (it was a free download)

If you do a quick search for SSTV (slow scan television) you'll find a good number of coders and decoders. RX-SSTV is pretty easy and versatile so I really have no complaints with it ;-)

[PK5Dloks]

That is absolutely amazing! Being a radio amateur I pretty much recognized the SSTV sound, but never imagined that there may be a real image coded into it. Fantastic work!

[WiglegsMCServer]

Remember about what Cave said about the Lost Astronauts in space?

[HauntedDreamz1]

Gabe. Sorry

[HauntedDreamz1]

I hate to burst your bubble, but, valve isn't making another portal game. Gave Newell himself said that this was the last of the series of portal.

[AgentVamp]

That is INSANE!

[LindenBree]

Holy crap ._. My mind is blown right now D:

[CashewHazard17]

Who is ratman?!



[ppm1n]

nice Eldrazi Desktop Background.

[0CreeperKiller0]

SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAACE!

[bluecasanova2]

Oh my god. I think that Valve is going to make a Portal 2 Episode 2.

I do really love the idea of MORE PORTAL/ PORTAL 2

[smiletehk]

FAVORITED!

[smiletehk]

is this map on gmod? that would be cool.

[mibevan]

Gabe newell is prepared for everything
