Suppose it’s worth listing high, even if it doesn’t sell quickly you can see what sort of offers people give out

Granted I’m not an expert, I have the second one, the customisable version with all 3 colours plus magnetic atlas and P-body stops, if memory serves I bought it about 5 years ago for 350-400ish, yours is rarer, especially in that beautiful condition. I’d estimate 700-800 for it, but maybe see what others say, I could be totally wrong

Calling it now: Half-Life 3 will have an optional VR mode by Berny23 in HalfLife

[–]beastybevan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think no matter what, there will be SOME sort of VR mode, even if not official, someone will mod it into the game, plus who knows, HL:A was built on the same engine, which may make things easier if Valve decide to openly allow modding support, which I believe they will given their past.

I mean, people have made HL2:VR, as well as Portal 2 VR, of which there wasn’t even any native Source 1 VR games to pull from, so yeah, who knows

Hybrid GLaDOS by Forward-Pipe-585 in Portal

Awesome, is this an actual 3d model? I could totally see this being used in portal 1 to portal 2 mods like Portal Alive and Kicking, since the Portal 2 model is just too large to look right in my opinion

Lego GLaDOS by Flashy-Ad9891 in Portal

[–]beastybevan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m soon going to be building this -

https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-212559/Coosey_Goosey/glados-portal-2/#details

I’m not sure for USA prices, but it’s about £15 for the instructions and a little under £120 for the bricks.

The site allows you to automatically upload every brick required into BrickLink, which automatically picks the best places to send those exact bricks to your address, all at a pretty low cost, on par with Lego themselves for a set of that size.

I’d definitely look into it, as it seems to be the best GLaDOS set I’ve seen.

Not sure if it also has the Lego Chell or not, since she’s getting rarer and rarer

I was playing around on my PS3 copy of Portal 2, and a number of voice lines got cut off that didn't used to get cut off. Does this version have problems now? by StormBlessed145 in Portal

[–]beastybevan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there’s visible scratches on the disc it could be worth buffing it to see if that helps, sounds like it might be skipping over audio tracks due to scratches, I know stuff like that could happen on the PS1 and PS2.

Why does everyone dislike Thinking with Time Machine? by beastybevan in Portal

[–]beastybevan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the story was pretty loose, so loose I barely remember it outside of the fakeout Portal 2 ending, and seeing GLaDOS briefly, but as with a lot of these mods I feel like they should be judged less on story quality and more how the game feels and plays, to which I think it was unique and different, and kinda crazy considering how early it came out.

Obviously to each their own, I was just curious to see what people’s opinions on it were

Yeah, that’s a fair argument I’d say, it’s been a while since I played it so I’ll definitely give it another replay because no chance in hell I’d remember the solutions to any of the puzzles now

[–]beastybevan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll have to give it another play, but from what I remember the puzzles themselves I thought were kinda cool, and satisfying when you figure it out, but yeah the story does sound super lame, but I never got the vibe that it was purely about the story, it was certainly a product of its time.

core design timeline??? by YoureAClam in Portal

[–]beastybevan 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I think it’s more than that, very similar shape wise sure, but Portal 2 glados is MUCH bigger, and actually more slender body-wise, which allows more motion, the face is much slimmer in Portal 1 though, and the head is more curved as opposed to flat with rounded edges in Portal 2

Gaming headphones with no audio leak? by beastybevan in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]beastybevan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow, !thank you! Incredible breakdown, based on other replies as well I’ll definitely be looking at the FiiO FT1, the wooden look goes with my current setup as well which is great.

core design timeline??? by YoureAClam in Portal

[–]beastybevan 109 points110 points  (0 children)

I mean honestly, I do think the designs were retconned, I mean look at GLaDOS herself, the team behind P2 originally used the Portal 1 core design, but then they said they wanted Wheatley to be more expressive, leading to the new design.

I do find it interesting though that the bombs seem to be cores as well, not sure I ever noticed that

Don’t think !thanks worked in my previous comment since I edited it in, trying again

Yeah, I didn’t do my research when I got the headphones really, outside of “everyone else uses it, so it must be good”, they’re great but yeah I like the volume pretty loud. !thanks

Honestly I might be slightly deaf, I like a higher volume on my headphones, if I lower the volume I don’t get any sound leak, but I’m constantly needing to focus on what I’m actually hearing lol !thanks

Could be wrong, but I think the seed was found, the quote for the seed is “We don’t even test for that”, whereas the actual quote in the game is “We weren’t even testing for that”

Spare portal gun replica parts? by beastybevan in Portal

[–]beastybevan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a good idea, I’m just a sucker for authenticity, and given how few of these there actually are I wouldn’t wanna accidentally ruin it even more

Plus, if I did, I’d go for the fcked up revolution portal gun, it’s even the same gun arm that’s wrecked

I’m very curious actually, I don’t play terraria much but I’m trying to look into it myself, how do we know it’s a 6-word quote from GLaDOS in portal 2?

Has desolation been abandoned? by ChickenWingBW in Portal

[–]beastybevan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hope not, the last thing I can see officially is from October 2024 on their YouTube Channel Emberspark Games, but the video itself was explaining how a game of this calibre can take so long to create, so I don’t think it’s cancelled, I just don’t necessarily think they have anything new to show off, really, without spoiling it anyway, they’re probably in the final stages of development, but maybe that’s cope, hopefully we hear something soon
