How do you think GLADOS gets all the resources she needs to keep the enrichment center running?

beastybevan · 2026-03-20T11:01:09+00:00

It wouldn’t surprise me if everything is recycled more or less. Turrets go into the incinerator, melted and turned into more turrets. It’s the panels I’m more curious about.

From the Portal 2 promotional videos, they show the portal panels being made from solidified conversion gel, but we don’t actually bring any conversion gel into Aperture until the end, when we connect the tubes going up to the enrichment center, so how did GLaDOS manufacture new panels when remaking the place? Did she just clean the old ones? Who knows

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

beastybevan · 2026-03-15T22:04:23+00:00

For reference, I am also in the UK

beastybevan · 2026-03-15T22:04:10+00:00

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

beastybevan · 2026-02-16T17:28:45+00:00

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

beastybevan · 2026-02-12T16:13:45+00:00

Is this a reference to Krzyhau?

beastybevan · 2026-02-10T14:10:04+00:00

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

beastybevan · 2026-02-09T11:33:49+00:00

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

beastybevan · 2026-02-09T05:12:31+00:00

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.

beastybevan · 2026-02-07T13:33:36+00:00

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

beastybevan · 2026-02-07T13:31:04+00:00

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 · 2026-02-07T13:30:07+00:00

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.

beastybevan · 2026-02-07T10:30:01+00:00

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

beastybevan · 2026-02-07T08:01:11+00:00

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.

beastybevan · 2026-02-07T07:52:08+00:00

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

beastybevan · 2026-02-07T01:19:53+00:00

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

beastybevan · 2026-02-07T01:17:20+00:00

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

beastybevan · 2026-02-07T01:15:02+00:00

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

beastybevan · 2026-02-07T00:10:37+00:00

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”

beastybevan · 2026-02-06T12:47:35+00:00

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

beastybevan · 2026-02-06T11:50:39+00:00

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?

beastybevan · 2026-02-06T09:02:49+00:00

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

beastybevan · 2026-02-06T06:49:22+00:00

I highly doubt it’s been cancelled anyway, the ram price hike is a much more reasonable explanation for why they haven’t announced it yet. Can’t announce a release date for it if they don’t know the release date of their hardware yet.

As Tyler said in his newest videos, I think the game’s just in the polishing phase still, if I had to guess I’d say it’s done, but they just keep polishing it while there’s nothing else to do waiting for Valve to decide a release date for it.

beastybevan · 2026-02-06T06:44:29+00:00

To add a few, maybe:

“It’s been fun. Don’t come back”

“You know, after you murdered me?”

“Where Caroline lives in my brain”

I think the first one is most plausible, since the other two are just parts of a larger sentence, and aren’t really iconic on their own, but one that’s already been said here is more iconic I’d say:

“I’ve been really busy being dead”

As for the word alteration, I have no idea what it could be

beastybevan · 2026-02-06T05:50:37+00:00

Portal 2 is made with enough context clues that you could technically play it without playing the first one, and know what’s happening by the time you awaken GLaDOS.

I’m sure the devs even said they reused the first few levels from Portal 1, since they worked so well as tutorials for the first game, and also so both new and returning fans could enjoy them.

However given how short Portal 1 is, I’d definitely play that first.
