Portal 2's Finale is Brilliant.
Hey! It's me, your favourite non-descript brit named Ashe again. Hopefully y'all like this! I gave myself a repetitive strain injury from working on this over this past week, so I'm gonna take a little bit of rest to hopefully fix up my hand before I release my next video (also if you see any issues, no you don't). Next video will probably be something different, but with no less an amount of *me* and also hopefully won't take me as long to release, but in the event that you're hankering for something NEW and EXCITING and CURRENT - I stream on Twitch frequently.
Thank you for your viewership and your patience. I'll see you next time.

Sorry for the lack of anything on this channel for a while, this is due to a lot of personal things in my life that I've vaguely talked about on twitter and on livestream, but I will be trying my best to put out more videos very very soon - the finale to Portal 2 *SHOULD* be next week, and whatever comes after that shouldn't be too long out.

    I don't know if this is intentional or not, but what made this scene more emotional for me was that the words we last hear from Wheatley before he's casted out in space are "GRAB ME!" (Or, in some dubs, "CATCH ME!") which remind you of "Catch me if I'm not dead once I pop of this thing! CATCH ME! CATCH ME!", giving you a bittersweet sense of nostalgia over the time when he was your friend

Side Note I would reccoment to watch the Part where Wheatly replaces Glados again because you played it, at least of what I know without Music and the Music in Portal really gives it another Vibe.

    Ashe, if I may ask for the next game to play, I would ask for you to continue with Portal 2 mods (basically DLCs but for free) like Portal Revolution (considered as Portal 3 by many people, its really well made and has cool puzzles, including an entirely new story with many jokes and fun uses of known mechanics) and if that is too much for now, please give Portal Reloaded a try, it adds a 3rd portal to time-travel (only 25 Levels, but challenging). Honestly, seeing how good you are at Portal I think those would be no problem for you and would make for awesome videos and (more importantly) much fun for you :) -A Portal fan who subscribed after watching your first Portal video

    I love this whole series SOOOOO MUCH! The amazing game itself, your adorkable reactions/commentary, AND your wonderfully creative editing! But... (Re: Video Description text): Aaaahhhh nooooo, I was worried you were overdoing it, & you did... 😥 Please don't hurt yourself in the future, take your time! We can wait! And please, DO NOT try to rush your recovery or skimp out on whatever combo of exercise AND resting has been advised. Trust me, too many people I personally know with repetitive strain injuries didn't let themselves recover properly, & as a result they now have permanent pain & lowered physical abilities. It's NOT worth it. I just don't want to see someone with your wonderful personality & immensely creative talent ending up with long-term suffering, which would be tragic itself, plus may also hinder your ability to keep on creating to your fullest potential. Please take better care of yourself from now on... 🥺

(In all seriousness i think it’s really useful as a part of colour coding for games to keep your colours for interactive elements simple/similar, it’s why Resident Evil started the yellow paint thing (though it could be done better/more artfully in that case) and why I noticed that in gameplay for portal 2)

  • @haraberu
    @haraberu 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    If have Steam notifications enabled, you'd also see the achievement unlock "The part where he kills you: This is that part." The room full of robots that scream at you is a callback to act 1, where Wheatley tells you scary rumors. The game is full of foreshadowing and callbacks like that. Remember the "I'm different" turret? The one you save from the conveyor who says things like "Her name is 'Caroline'" and "Prometheus was thrown into a pit and pecked at by birds"? The "white gel is made of moon rocks" also sets up the final shot. At one point where you used the ramp covered in orange gel and almost fell short. The danger is an illusion. If you are using the intended solution but you're going slightly too slow or too fast, the game will secretly correct your speed to ensure you make it. Most players never notice this mechanic because of how subtle it is, but it greatly affects speedruns.

    Similar to a post I wrote on the first video, I return to this video a few months down the line having learnt a lot about making videos, and having fixed the issues present within these first to chapters of this story. I hope that everyone that reads this now is well. This video does not live up to my creative expectations of myself, and indeed, the vision that I have for content that I produce. I am not going to take it down, in spite of that fact, because I want it to be a continual litmus test of the quality of content that I can produce, and a reminder to myself of where I have come from. I took a long break from making videos for a lot of reasons, and am excited to be back, and excited to be making stuff that I feel people will be excited to watch. Thank you for your continued patience, viewership and support. I'll see you next time - Goodbye!

    Hi! It's me, Ashe from 5 months down the line. A lot has changed since the uploading of this video, and I hope it finds everyone that sees it well. This video's quality is not to a level I'm happy with (especially after having completed the series) - but it's not in a state that I can easily fix. Rather than pull it down, I want to keep it up as a litmus test for how far I can come as a producer and entertainer, and to keep constantly dedicating myself to the work of making things that I want to see in the world. Creative vision is important ot me, and quality of my videos are equally as important. I have fixed some of the most egregious issues with this and the second portal video I produced in the third and fourth, and honestly feel like they reflect my quality as a creator better. Thank you for your viewership and all of your valuable feedback and support - I'll see you next time. Goodbye!
