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!
Your Portal 2 finale vid was in my recommended. It was fantastic so I came back to watch the whole thing. Don't bash your older stuff, being a creator means learning and honing your craft as you go. Just stay true with your vision of creativity and quality and your videos will continue to be great! Cheers!
Oh... Theres.. theres a part 2 coming right? I need stimulation of a new portal playthrough made by someone with good editing skills, funny dialogue and good captions.. and you are my best bet for that right now
7:29 just a heads up to everyone! This timestamp has an error in the text, it’s meant to say “oh forever?” I’m sorry that i let that slip, the quality of my work is important to me, and i regret to say i let this one slip.
@@quantumblauthor7300 agreed, but unfortunately lots and lots of people get lazy and just use the ai-generated output in their video without review (cough cough, youtube shorts)
As a portal 2 speed runner it’s awesome when I see people discovering the game and appreciating how incredibly well the story and dialogue is written! Great vid earned a sub :)
fun fact: if you try and put wheatley through an emancipation grill he won't be emancipated, you can do so in two of the test chambers in "the cold boot"
This amount of subscribers was absolutely criminal, so now it's absolutely criminal plus one. Holy _shit_ this is quality. As someone who's tried making videos with subtitles before, I _really_ appreciate the effort that went into these captions. Looking forward to future videos!
@@asheastral It's so worth it! Overall, some incredibly quality editing in this video. I hope those comments will help you get noticed by the great Algo.
GLaDOS: "Solve this simple test, which involves deadly lasers, and how test subjects react when locked in a room with deadly lasers" You: "I love deadly lasers! Usually I react to them by dying" I genuinely love you matching the energy of the game.
That was such a well edited video. Your responses are also pretty damn good. Got a few good chuckles out of me. Also, as another guy said, I thought this was gonna be a video essay, but this was a pleasant surprise.
Your commentary blends so well with the game's writing, it's amazing, subscribing. Is this your first playthrough? If so, you're in for a treat, this is in my opinion one of the best games ever made
i keep coming back to this game bc it's so beautiful. i think I'm at 20+ replays of the main story by now. can't wait for p2ce so I can make my own maps
I absolutely ADORE your editing style, am always happy to see a new enjoyer of the portal games (even if this was filmed a year ago) -The 18th portalmaster (do not ask what happened to the other 17, I do not know)
wow this is nuts from a channel that only has 1k subs, feels like a multi million sub channel, keep making videos with this editing and I will happily watch this whole series and others
Im halfway through the video and im really impressed with the editing and how engaging this is!! with many other playthroughs ill skip around to the interesting parts, but this is really engaging, and im gonna watch all of it >:3 you've earned a subscriber :) (ALSO HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!)
“Waddle over to the elevator and we’ll continue testing.” I forgot she said that! Such a subtle passive aggressive line! Had me rolling when I first heard it!
Missed one of my favourite easter eggs in the (ratman) room at 15:36 (chamber 3 of chapter 2) If you pick up the radio in that room it starts playing Exile Vilify by the National which was supposed to be the music for a "fake ending" but was scrapped in the release ,_, Its a beautiful song..
the game is genius, i just finished portal 2 and im now playing portal 1 (yep, totally the right order) and im stuck in chamber 15 lol, btw still genius game
Hi appy birth day it's every bit of dialogue trapped in your head until the end of time memorized forever! Game my beloved! Wait is this music from Rubiks World??
I'm so glad I found this channel and I loved the video, but I'm also sad I found it so soon cuz now I have to wait for future episodes and can't just binge them yet lol
Thank you! I've not got a lot of experience, so I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for saying I have an amazing voice, that's so unbelievably kind of you.
New favorite portal youtuber. Love the captions, you could even do more with them! (Hard of hearing viewer here, just happy to have any lol doesnt happen often especially with video games) came thinking it was a video essay, stayed to watch the gameplay. Instant subscribe
Hi! Can i ask what you mean by do more with them? I’d like to be conscious of making sure people can enjoy my content regardless of anything. If adding in hand made captions to the youtube captioning system helps with readability, I’d be willing to go to the effort of making that too - and probably will when I’ve got the time to. Also massive thanks for the love!
Insanely high quality video and great personality for this. Earned an instant sub and a follow on Twitch. Literally my only note for improvement is that that game music is a little loud, sometimes, occasionally, it's hard to hear you talk.
I'd seriously recommend upping the bit rate/recording quality Your personality is great, your editing is even better, so the sheer quality of this video is VERY good, which is why I think it's being held back by the presentation being slightly broken, especially in dark scenes Edit: wait what the fuck. you only have a 1000 subs??
Hi! Thank you so much for your feedback. I agree, the visual quality is holding things back, and this has been resolved for future recordings, however the Portal 2 videos were recorded live a few months back. The remainder of the portal 2 videos will have similar issues, but I've tried to cut as many egregious segments where possible. I only just properly started streaming, editing, and uploading content recently, so we're going through the teething pains, but thank you for being here at the beginning of my journey!
I would LOVE to see you play entropy zero mod series from you. Also i would love if you would use the game's ost for the background music. Entropy series is comparable to the main game. The first one is like the portal 1 demo, but the second game is a full fledged masterpiece with interesting story and portal-esque humor. You should play the portal and half life series before it though. I also would recommend portal revolution. Its a pretty good but short mod with a cool campaign.
I second this!! Entropy Zero 2 is an actual masterpiece. It ties up a whole lot of loose ends of HL2, and in classic half-life fashion, leaves even more loose ends in its wake. It probably won't make much sense without playing either of the half life games beforehand though. Also I think you'll love the companion character. I think its impossible not to love him.
Unfortunately, this was just a problem with the original stream, its more or less fixed in later streams, but its likely to pop up in the other portal videos. Thank you for your feedback!
I still can't get over the fact that Aperture Science was a company run by the worlds brightest minds and a moron, but became such a wasted opportunity for a successful company that they LITERALLY ran themselves into the ground.

THE MOTION TRACKING FOR THE SUBTITLES ARE SO GOOD
It are?
Results: They could not :(
The sad face really brings out the comedy.
It's definitely in the text logs GladOS keeps for future analysis
@@Ytinasniiable💀
I was really expecting a video essay but its a portal 2 lets play. I think this should be much more popular.
9:24 THIS IS THE MOST HIGH QUALITY SUBTITLE EDITING I HAVE EVER SEEN- I'M DYING OF LAUGHTER
I spent so much time working on it, so thank you very much for appreciating it!!
@@asheastral You remind me of Soviet Womble
That bit was so funny god damn
Oh... Theres.. theres a part 2 coming right? I need stimulation of a new portal playthrough made by someone with good editing skills, funny dialogue and good captions.. and you are my best bet for that right now
Of course!! 💚💚💚
@@asheastral I'd love to see similar commentary for Portal: Revolutions and Portal Reloaded, too.
thought this was a video essay, but wow, this is amazing! i love the captioning style, it feels so accurate and natural! keep up the great work!
7:29 just a heads up to everyone! This timestamp has an error in the text, it’s meant to say “oh forever?” I’m sorry that i let that slip, the quality of my work is important to me, and i regret to say i let this one slip.
at least it shows that you didn't use ai for the captions unlike some people!
@@tom-on ai-generated captions are a good start, and arguably an accessibility tool FOR the people making/editing captions
any chance to lower the music volume? other than that everything seems pretty great
@@quantumblauthor7300 agreed, but unfortunately lots and lots of people get lazy and just use the ai-generated output in their video without review (cough cough, youtube shorts)
new small channel to support unlocked
Your support is appreciated!
How this is a small channel? Keep up the good work!

As a portal 2 speed runner it’s awesome when I see people discovering the game and appreciating how incredibly well the story and dialogue is written! Great vid earned a sub :)
1st rule of companion cubes: DON'T TAKE THEM WITH YOU.
Portal 2 is my favorite enemies to lovers to devorced story
I so love this killer robot that hates me, i want to hug her
The absolute betrayal in the "NO!!" when she fizzles the companion cube for the last time hits me in my soul.
fun fact: if you try and put wheatley through an emancipation grill he won't be emancipated, you can do so in two of the test chambers in "the cold boot"

The effort is worth it if people are enjoying it this much! Thank you for appreciating that 💚

Always feels good to find a small but good channel
praise be small channel, also loved your editing style!!! your voice is also very nice too :3
Omg thank you so much!! 💚
the first time i played the game i did not even realize that glados was being sassy
all the passive-aggressiveness just flew over my head
it flew over your head like smelly useless garbage?
This was surprisingly entertaining to watch, you are deserving of way more subscribers than you have
Thank you very much! Your praise means a lot to me.
GLaDOS: "Solve this simple test, which involves deadly lasers, and how test subjects react when locked in a room with deadly lasers"

Your interactions with Wheatley made me totally imagine your voice as personality core in Portal, not 100% sure why, tho.
Not what I was expecting given the title but this was a real cute video, subbed!
this is really funny and the tracking for the subtitles are amazing! Please show us more WE NEEDS IT
I love your quipping right back at GLaDOS! Subbed!

This was a nice break from my usual content intake, and I really enjoyed it! Keep up the good work!
Sovietwomble vibes with the text lol, subscribed
(also, happy birthday!)
I loved watching this so much, its like playing portal 2 for the first time again.
That's pretty much exactly what I was going for!
The algorithm has truly blessed me today, love the video. Think ill replay the game again after.

I’m so glad you enjoyed your watchthrough, and I’m happy to have earned your patronage! Thank you for your kind words 💚
@@asheastral of course! :3
Out of so many amazing lines, "We both said a lot of things that _you're_ going to regret" is horrendously underrated.
Fun fact! Wheatley, by definition, is not an Artificial Intelligence, as that would require him to be intelligent
“Waddle over to the elevator and we’ll continue testing.” I forgot she said that! Such a subtle passive aggressive line! Had me rolling when I first heard it!
I almost forgot how good the writing for this game is. I laugh every time I see a playthrough.
Also, happy birthday (last year).

Its a beautiful song..
literally my favourite the national song ever and it got taken down from spotify 😭
heya, epic video just from the few minutes i've been watching!
happy birthday btw bro :3
i love the fact this was released on my bday too :D
happy birthday! 💚 thank you very much
Excelent taste and choice in music
i really hope you continue this lets play. Was really fun to watch!!
Already being edited 💚
Clicked for a video essay, stayed for commentary and editing. Also noticed youve got videos on my favorite little indie project VOTV
"What kind of test would have deliberate space debris?"
I mean, since the portableable surfaces are coated in moon rocks... all of them, I guess?
This was super fun to watch!
the game is genius, i just finished portal 2 and im now playing portal 1 (yep, totally the right order) and im stuck in chamber 15 lol, btw still genius game
What nice editing and even a nicer voice to listen to, probably one of the best edited gameplay videos I have ever watched!
Welp thought this was gonna be a video essay, but I like your voice and editing. I will now be watching this whole thing.
Hi appy birth day it's every bit of dialogue trapped in your head until the end of time memorized forever! Game my beloved!
Wait is this music from Rubiks World??
Love the video and edits, keep it up :D
I don't know why, but your energy...It's like watching two wheatleys talk with each other.
I'm so glad I found this channel and I loved the video, but I'm also sad I found it so soon cuz now I have to wait for future episodes and can't just binge them yet lol
you've got yourself a subscriber! i love your editing style!
Genuinely shocked you only have 700 subscribers, you’ve got one more now!
Genuinely loved the video, great work on the editing and everything! You also have an amazing voice btw
Thank you! I've not got a lot of experience, so I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for saying I have an amazing voice, that's so unbelievably kind of you.
Great job, I don’t see many portal playthroughs anymore, can’t wait for part 2
Wheatley: You applied the grip, tremendous.
You: You're such a... worm🪱
I love the background music from some of my favorite games and your personality! Looking forward to more
I WILL OOF SOMBODY IF SOMBODY DOES NOT ADD ANOTHER 2 ZEROS TO THIS MANS SUB COUNT
Love the editing style, reminds me a lot of late 2014 youtube. Have a well-earned sub :D
8:57
"Ahh! I just- sorry- I've just looked down. I do not recommend it
"do it again"
"Ah! I've just done it again"
😂
missed watching portal content so thanks for bringing it back to my homepage :,) and happy (belated) birthday my guy
11:18 A very effective use of the Reverse Hills theme. I like a good SMT reference.
portal and pokemon music youre trying to kill me in a positive way ohhhh my god
I love both of em very much!!
This guy deserves 50x the subscribers he has now this is really well-done!
The Portal games have some of the best humor I've ever seen
Fantastic video, definitely earned my subscription - keep doing what you're doing :D

amazing video i love the editing
Expected a video essay but this is a decent substitute
This game is HILARIOUS.
17:16 there's an interesting instance of how motion is relative: the cube almost looks like it's standing still!
This was such a fun video to watch, so fun to see that people are still playin' portal nowadays.
wow for such a small channel your editing skills are top notch
Insanely high quality video and great personality for this. Earned an instant sub and a follow on Twitch.
Literally my only note for improvement is that that game music is a little loud, sometimes, occasionally, it's hard to hear you talk.
Why does Persona 4 music fit the vibe of Portal this well? lol
I'd seriously recommend upping the bit rate/recording quality

Gotta love halflifeman
The part where he kills you
the original toxic yuri (chell and GLaDOS
TRUUUUEEEE
Underrated! Must’ve taken a long time to do the subtitles.
New sub
This was really fun to watch :) I’m just asking myself why there wasn’t any music from the game.
i love your commentary!!!
pretty much everyone already said that before me, but i love the editing
It still means just as much to me 💚
I'm watching this probably the 3rd time now and I finally gotta ask:
What the flip did you wanted to say at 20:00 ???
I. WANT. TO. KNOW. NOW!
youve GOTTA do a part 2.

@@asheastralmore portal videos confirmed; cake not lie
Only 250 subs? That ain't right. Lemme get that up to 251 real quick!
Looking dorward for more
Holy crap, how do you not have more subs?
reminds me of jolly wangcore.
probably because the captions.
