Portal 2 Animation is the Bee’s Knees
Somebody took a 40-second clip of Portal 2 dialogue and made this cute little animation out of it. I applaud that kind of forward thinking.
A little weird that they made all the robots into humans, but nothing wrong with that in the end! It’s much more expressive and delightful that way. Big props to Not Quite Normal!
A Sad Portal Video
Even though the weekend is upon this, my girlfriend found this cool/sad Portal 2 epilogue video. I think it’s all CGI, and beautiful CGI at that. Made by Ronald the Cock. Consider this a nice, relaxing song to see you into the weekend…
Also, using the same music is this amazing animated video showing the adventures of Doug Rattman, the Aperture scientist who worked behind the scenes of Portal and Portal 2 to aid Chell’s escape. This video is about what happens between the two games, and Rattman ensuring Chell’s survival. It might make more sense if you’re familiar with the storyline from the Portal games.
I thought I’d posted this before, but I couldn’t find it. Here it is to the tune of “Exile, Vilify” by The National.
I Enjoy Portal Song Videos
There are plenty of Portal song videos around the web, and I’m a fan. The game is great, and the fans really know how to treat the concept right. Those Nightmare Before Christmas inspired songs are amazing, and this guy, Harry UK, has made this new song. This one is a bit simpler, but the animation is great and the song is just sweet and enjoyable. So I hope you enjoy.
25 Blissful Minutes of New Cave Johnson Lines
Anyone who has played Portal 2 knows that Cave Johnson may be the funniest, most blissfully one-liner spouting fictional character of all time. Voiced by the immeasurable J.K. Simmons, Cave Johnson is the overseer of Aperture Laboratories, or at least he was back when the company was first started in the mid-20th century. So everything he says has a delightful old-timey feel.
The man, the myth, the legend
Well the latest Portal 2 DLC involves traveling through multiple dimensions, and each time you enter a new one, you get a new message from Cave Johnson. Then some amazing soul has taken all of those messages and put them together in this 25-minute long clip of just hilarious Cave Johnson one-liners. My God, this is brilliant. Listen to the whole thing. I wanted to blog it just to save it for posterity.
This is funny, funny stuff.
