Do you love Barney too? (Calhoun that is)

The Apture Science Center is Black Mesa's rival. They mention it a few times in Portal. I think it's pretty damn cool how you have to visit it. Saucy.Ranzel said:
don't forget in Ep2 they pretty much lay down the starting task of Ep3. The search for the Borealis, Aperture Science's ship. It disappeared from the dock (taking the dock with it), so one can only assume some kind of portal tech was onboard. And from the conversation between Eli and Issac it seems they are more than aware of Apertures doings in the past. It's seems a given that Aperture, GLaDOS, or the portal gun (or combination of the 3) will be incorporated into Ep3 in some form or another.PurpleRain said:
Blue shift was very entertaining imo, ( where is doctor Rosenberg these days, was expecting him instead of that grumpy guy nobody knows in ep2 ) but I can't stand Barney in hl2 for some reason. He just annoys the heck outta me with his "I'm here for comedy relief buddy!" smile alawys staring at me. Too bad I can't crack his skull with the crowbar.
Yeh, I have issues.

After opening a portal to an aggressive alien world during an otherwise uneventful day at the science lab, the first thing Gordon Freeman wanted was a gun.
Luckily, his dear friend Barney had one, and was at that moment occupied with shooting strange crab creatures attempting desperately to copulate with his face.
Upon meeting up with his old drinking pal, Gordon silently voiced his desire to be gifted with Barney's petite pistol. Alas, Barney was only gifted with 2 phrases in his vocabulary, and neither of them involved handing over weapons.
Sighing, Gordon raised his crowbar to his old friend's face and began to pummell it relentlessly.
After the deed was done, Gordon pried the pistol from his pal's fingers, and then set off on his quest to save Black Mesa, and the rest of humaniity.

Thanks for the responses. I did infact play trough portal and Episode 2, so as I read your explanations I quickly realized that I have no ability to make connections. I remeber the Borealis bit at the end, but I guess I just missed the fact that it was an Aperature Science ship. Actually, going to go replay both Portal and the end of Episode 2, just for my own peace of mind.
