GLaDOS Origin Story Told in Full Portal 2 Comic
- Thread starter Tom Goldman
- Start date
I liked the art and the references to Schrodinger's Cat, but I am annoyed that it explains how Chell winds back in Aperture Science. I would of preferred imagining it myself rather than Lab Rat Machina (or Deus Ex Lab Rat, whatever). Ah, I guess when you pit your own expectations against someone's else imagination you are bound to be disappointed.
I don't see how this is a deus ex machina. The Rat Man was always there, and it was clear from the start that he knew how to mess with the system. The Party Escort Bot (while added only a year ago, still wasn't a completely out of nowhere character) dragged her back and presumably put her into long-term relaxation. All the Rat Man did was patch her block into the reserve power grid.tyriless said:

So the only thing making Chel the one he chose was she was "abnormally stubborn?" Well it's easy to never give up when you can just reload from the last save every time
I like that the companion cube is really just a part of his fractured psyche. hehe
I don't know why but for some reason it reminds me of the Fuchikoma's from GITS.
Also, GladOS still seemed pretty evil to me...
When I first heard about a Portal sequel long ago, I had hoped that, due to the end of Portal, it would take place in the world outside of Aperature labs, using the portal gun among nature or the city, on the run from Aperature agents or what have you.
Now to just find out that some random robot simply dragged you back in to the Lab and you are stuck in there trying to escape again feels incredibly LAME. Also, I kind of thought all that crap blew up.

I love how parts f it were hilarious (not JUST the GladOs parts, even) even though it was, overall, an incredibly harrowing experience.
Also, RIP Ratman.
Also, RIP Ratman.
That was really, really great. Good art style, nice use of flashbacks, touching, and thought provoking.
Also, the cat part made me crack up.

If you replyed Portal recently you'd have noticed that when VALVe announced the sequel, they went and patched the ending to Portal and changed it a bit. now when you're outside and GlaDOS has exploded it shows that you are being dragged off somewhere by something.beema said:may have already been posted, but here's a better link for viewing the comic: http://www.thinkwithportals.com/comic/#16

Actually, if you remember, GLaDOS does in fact call for the party escort bot right after you escape the furnace she intended to dump you in, and tells you to assume the party escort position (lay down face first).Dr. Paine said:
Presumably, even though the bot itself at the ending wasn't actually added until later, this line was in the original game, and the bot that was added later even comments on your compliance in assuming the party escort position for him (you land face first after blowing up GLaDOS's chamber).
Presumably, the party escort bot started coming after Chell as soon as she escaped the final test chamber.
You mean its not recursively enumerable? No wonder the Turing machine's tape ran out. [/ultra comp. sci. nerd joke]Trezu said:
I don't know about the comic. It has some cool ideas but it feels kind of bland and uninspired like nothing happened the whole time. There were a few good jokes but I don't feel like it bridged the gap between the two games or anything.
.. yeah, I know. I didn't write that bit, I was explaining it wasn't a deus ex machina. (I should have clarified where the Bot was mentioned before and was therefor not a 'completely out of nowhere character', but that's about it x3)Innegativeion said:
Or was that just a misquoting? xD
