Honestly speaking, sometimes I'm not sure which is worse, the combine or aperture. The combine is just straight up evil and not subtle about it. Aperture labs is some diabolical hellhole masquerading as a scientific enrichment center. The way aperture treats people is honestly harrowing when you think about it, and they do it while smiling and telling you what a good test subject you are.

"Good news is, the lab boys say the symptoms of asbestos poisoning show a median latency of forty-four point six years, so if you're thirty or older, you're laughing.

Half portealis

Afraid there are a few errors in this that I noticed. The use of the mentally ill and orphans was from and early version of Apertures history that was changed before the game came out. That was from a time when Cave Johnson was rather evil rather than just off the wall. They still used hobo's for tests though. Another mistake is that just about the time of the accident at Black Mesa (The Resonance Cascade at the start of Half Life) GLaDOS took over the Enrichment Center and locked it down (killing many within and the survivors hid from her in the depths of the facility. It was never abandon by hey staff, they never had a chance to leave. It's been stated by the devs that the Combine did actually try to get into the Enrichment Center, but failed (It's unknown what happened though). Strangely enough GLaDOS may be the one thing native to Earth that the so called G-Man is wary of. GLaDOS is utterly uncontrollable and very hard to predict. She also has access to a large amount of resources and very advanced technology in many different fields. (Artificial Intelligence, portal tech, robotics, weapons, and more) as well as production capability. The struggle for the Borealis may cause GlaDOS to turn her attention to the world outside the Enrichment Center and who knows what could happen then. sm

But they rebuilt GLaDOS and found the Borealis through her black box. That's why the ship contents were signed by GLaDOS, they went through her memory banks and overriding until she recalled only her death.

Ninjabread Man now THAT would rule

I already know all this lore but still you find a way to present it in a new, interesting video format. Thank you and god bless.

2:45 Whoa, the portal gun ('Quantum Tunnelling Device') contains a miniature black hole. Cool detail. And I love the dry humor in the 'notes'.

really liked their lemonade, hated it when it burned my house down tho

You guys always manage to interest me in the lore of games I’ve never played lol

1:22 my favorite part of the facility is tne tu e network, as shown here. Its a neat transportation system that i think is overlooked alot

*develops really cool shower curtains* -transission a few years later- *develops portal* -transission a few years later-(*by fandom*) *develop universe destroying pronuclear atomic quantum bombs* Definition of companies in a nutshell.

I like Portal. I like the Templin Institute... BEST. CROSSOVER. EVER!

Derlict equipment and legends you say. And of course *a bit of tes-ting!*

I sincerely gotta admire Templin Institute. You guys can describe the craziest stuff from the most ludicrous alternate universe without a single flinch, giggle or snort. Gotta admire that ability to keep a poker face. Or "poker voice", I guess.

*employee falls to their death* “We have a reproducible human error problem!” *paramedics rush to the scene* “A lot of expensive equipment getting broken.” *paramedics pick up portal gun and leave mangled corpse* I love this game so much.

Did Aperture Science survive the Tyrium invasion and if so are their shower currents stranded for GTU showers?

@@locomotivefaox I know this is an old comment but just to correct you, Portal takes place a couple years after the Combine's invasion of Earth. It's before Half-Life 2. GLaDOS took over Aperture a couple days before the Black Mesa Incident.

Imagine if Cave met Grunkle Stan and they became friends.... Oh my.

Oh, man, I got goose bumps from this video. I hope it's a precursor to Half Life 3? I hope this might make a great story for the next episode about the Half Life/Portal series. Thanks for the video!

I've been to the U.P. before. Definitely felt like there was something strange going on up there.

OOH new video. AND Portal. Well I guess i know what to do now

My favorite part in the portal series is when if you looked at one of the walls in an office, there is a poster of a yacht with a price tag of $60

the portal comic has a panel with the gravity gun in it, which implies that it was stolen by Black Mesa at some point and kept safe by Eli Vance after the 7-hour war

Great profile - and fitting to the subject :-D Some suggestions for the next profiles: - Dr. Susan Calvin/Andrew Martin/US Robots and Mechanical Men Corporation (Isaac Asimov) - The World (dot Hack) - Heterodyne/21th Century Defense Security Corporation (Dai-Guard Terrestrial Defense Corp) - Tokyo Metropolitan Police Special Vehicle Section 2, Division 2 (Patlabor) - Okarin (Steins;Gate) - Dr. Louise Banks (Arrival) - Northern Lights aka The Machine (Person of Interest) - Project Quantum Leap (Quantum Leap)

The 3 is A lie

I hope I live to see the game that brings these 2 together. The borealis has the portal gun. Hence why the combine would be searching for it. ( local teleportation tech ). I just need to see it

I've been waiting for you guys to do Aperture Science for ages. The day is finally here!

I think you mean Half Life/Portal

Well, it's generally known as the Half Life universe, because it was the first game to come out

hang on... Half life? This is based in half life?

Yeah, they share a universe, though *when* the Portal games occur in relation to the Half-Life games isn't specified. Portal 2, at the very least, is implied to take place long, *long* after Half-Life 2 and its lot, including the non-existent HL2 Episode 3.

There's been insinuations that the Borealis was supposed to actually appear in the Half Life games, perhaps leading to some shared universe moment, but that hadn't happened, and the closet it got was it's appearance in the Half Life 2 prototype. It was essentially added to Portal 2 as a mix of reference and sequelbait, but Valve can't count to 3.

@@gratuitouslurking8610 The Borealis is straight-up in Episode 2, Mossman found it and you see it in her message. They even name drop Aperture. It's supposed to be your destination at then end when you get ambushed and would have been where you ended up going in Episode 3 if Valve didn't stop making games.

The Templin Institute "randomly" comes out with an Aperture Science video. Half Life 3 lives!

This is one of your best ✔️

Omg I love this series so much. I should be learning about real history but I LOVE this

Don't forget the inter-universal portal technology Cave used to find the money needed to keep the company going... although maybe that was in a parallel universe...

It all started with shower curtains.... The slaughter

2:43 don't forget they also removed tumors and replaced organs
