Yep, agree. Portal and Portal 2 are such a great game like no other, but you only get to feel the sheer amount of joy and amusement once, and that's it.

@Rain In The Clouds alexa: 🎵 🎵Despacito Quiero respirar tu cuello despacito Deja que te diga cosas al oído Para que te acuerdes si no estás conmigo... Good night human...
Wikipedia tells me Valve wrote this song to make the player feel happy after completing the game. This is one of those occasions when someone set themselves a goal and couldn't have been more succesful
GLaDOS: "I'm not even angry." GLaDOS in Portal 2: *humiliates Chell, tortures her, forces her to go through deadly test chambers once more, berates her, calls her fat...*
Thats why this game is awesome, because you can actually feel the "human side" of GLaDOS, as she says shes not mad but still trying to avenge herself (like some people do when they are hurt but also trying to hide it)
I was at a LAN Party at a local university a month or two after the Orange Box came out. While we were packing up the next morning, someone said "this was a triumph." Next thing you know, everyone in the hall was singing this together. It's legit one of my happiest memories.
Dude said, "nostalgia," and I was like, "what? This shit ain't even that old." Then I realized that this game came out over 13 years ago and that not only is this game old but so am I. Still alive.
This song is very cute, but I swear the first time I listened to it, I got chills for everything after "And believe me I am still alive". Just a very, "Oh shit" moment.
So you know that cliche of a character being in a horrendous situation and whimpering "Find a happy place, find a happy place, find a happy place..."? Yeah. Science is lovely.
I miss being 6 years old, sitting on my dad's lap while he played this game, and trying to press keys to mess him up because I thought it was funny. I remember watching him do chamber 17. I won't get those times back, never ever. He's not taken off or died or anything. I still see him all the time, but neither of us will ever be that young again, and neither of us will ever experience portal for the first time again.
Heres the thing, we walk out, then... something... drags us back in, we get put in stasis for 50k odd years, miss the ENTIRETY of HL 2 and HL Alyx, and then we need to team up with a potato... sounds fun!
When I played this game I was still beginning to learn english, and coming back to this song years later with the ability to understand the lyrics gives me both a feeling of nostalgia and accomplishment. Thanks Valve
@Your Standard Dart Don't worry, that's a really interesting question! Well it has been like 8 years since that time so I don't exactly remember, but I think I pretty much didn't understand anything because I was just starting english. I had to use Google translate to understand the title, and didn't bother to translate much more. So yeah, it wasn't until recently that I could figure out what this song is about! Now for the listening part, I remember that I could understand when she says "Still alive" because it is just 2 short words and I knew it was the title (and also because it was written on the screen while the music was playing ^^), but for the rest I didn't hear words but rather spoken sounds as everyone can hear when listening to a foreign language. That didn't stop me from liking the music, as I was focusing on the melody! So that's it for my experience at that time, hope it answers your question! ;)
@@ooochoa Why is so much of our science dangerous? Why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you on the butt on the way out, because you are fired!
I genuinely want this to be played at my funeral. Playing portal was incredibly impactful, and helped lead to my love of science, gaming, and puzzles. It’s kinda remarkable that I have hundreds of hours on a game that I can beat in 30 minutes.
Hugh Croucher It's not though. "And tore me to pieces. And threw every piece, into, a fire." The pieces representing the cores you throw into an incinerator.
I am so happy to be born the same year as many now beloved videogames. I'm sad that i wasn't there when they released, but at least i got to experience them.
I just finished Portal for the first time, 15 years after release, and I just sat staring at this credit screen smiling from ear to ear. What a villain, what a song, what a game!!
@@Koofteh I actually just started it yesterday and it's been really good so far. It's fun to see the effects of the first game. I just know it'll be even better once I get further as well.
There is no doubt in my mind this is the best credit sequence of any media. Such a banger that comes out of left-field, just like the rest of the game. Endings are always difficult, and this is an absolutely brilliant way to end a game.
@@StupidEdits good luck even eating it with the ingredients that are provided by the intelligence Core all that polyester resin and fiberglass is going to make it impossible to eat and even if you manage to get a bite out of it you'll probably die because of the preservatives
Coolest part about this to me are the lines where she knows how bad the Combine have made things, and teases about being better off inside and ‘better you than me’.
"I have an infinite capacity for knowledge but not even I know what's going on out there. All I know is that I'm all that stands between us and them - well I was, anyway"
my favorite part is "But there's no sense crying over every mistake; You just keep on trying untll you run out cake." because if you think about it, it's actually a pretty damn sweet and wholesome thing for GLaDOS to say.
idk what story is there for portal anymore. legit, in this case we got closure were likely getting closure aswell if hl alyx does well. portal has no more story to tell, while half-life still needs to tell us the aftermath of episode 2. the only thing i can think of for portal to have a continuity would be that it has another prequel like hl alyx is to half-life 2 explaining the creation of GLaDOS
Gabby Lucas there were multiple portal themed small very short games as they were experimenting in VR, but I don’t believe they would do something with chell if they do make one
Loereo that was a time to be alive, and that's not even because im blinded by nostalgia but damn shit was sooo good in the 2010s. Only Portal Stories Mel brought me back 1 more time
Never noticed that after mentioning black mesa, GLaDOS's voice becomes deeper, more closely resembling her voice in Portal 2. It's also where she gets more sarcastic, so I guess it all just represents the point at which she begins to resent the player more.
@@PerfectAlibi1 ah shit , here we go again. The "Caroline is Chell's mother" theory isn't nearly canon , and comport many flaw. Stop assuming it as a fact when it proove nothin'
Finally decided to play the game for myself a week ago to see what the big deal was. Got so frustrated trying to position the portals right on the boss fight that I only went back and finished it last night. Hearing this song, seeing the menu change to show the cake, I actually felt like I’d accomplished something- and I haven’t gotten that feeling from a game in so long. Bravo, Valve. Bravo.
It always amuses me that valve packaged this game in a bundle like an extra because it was a side project and they were afraid that nobody would like it but then it went on to become the most beloved game of all time. How do you make the most beloved game of all time by accident?
@@lustsoul69 I feel like valve still cares alot more than other companies though and they're active in the community listening. Maybe there is a chance we get something just as beautiful somewhere in the future.
@@thermz I hope so.. Well at least they made Alyx... It's a great game. I just hate how they abandoned their older games - Team Fortress 2 for example.
@@cypherusuh True, I must admit I also greatly appreciate their efforts on Proton to make Linux a viable platform for gaming. I just *really* miss the times when they were releasing amazing games upon one another. Artefact kinda showed they aren't interested in making innovative game's anymore....
L'indécis de nature I think thats why they’re struggling to release hl3. Hl1 and 2 both were extremely innovative games for their times and if half life 3 is just some of run of the mill FPS with a great story but isn’t very groundbreaking it won’t live up to hype.
@@eldritchtoilets210 Well you could say Valve in their eyes moved on to greener pastures, they're done with PC games and are now focusing on VR development and games for it, sure there are some people working on games but its mostly multiplayer and a rotating staff
WAIT A SECOND you are testing...... some games are tested before release...... HOLY COW, PORTAL 1 AND 2 ARE JUST TO TEST MECHANICS THAT WILL APPEAR IN PORTAL 3 portal 3 confirmed
I recently went through two separate heartbreaks over the same gal. Long story short, she unintentionally goaded me into believing there was something happening, while she was interested in someone else, and I just found out about this today. This song has been a rather humorous way to cope with it. Thanks, Valve.
The thing that makes GLaDOS a great villain is that she doesn’t treat any situation seriously, making her extremely funny but also dangerous without it being balanced out either way. It’s perfect writing and this song is a great example of it. Good job, Valve.
To the contrary, I think GLaDOS treats every situation seriously, but with a different perspective than a human's. Essentially immortal, she doesn't possess the sense of urgency a mortal human has. So her attitude comes across as indifferent, flippant, or dismissive from our perspective. But from GLaDOS' perspective, _everything_ is a test and the testing must *_NEVER_* stop; she's serious - deadly serious - about this imperative.
I played these series when I was in third grade (if I remember correctly) but yesterday, I played both portal and portal 2 again. It was so nostalgic, it gave me a weird feeling and warm my heart.
Valve in my eyes is something like "Nintendo of PC gaming" they are not here to follow trends and give out garbage sequels every year they are more interested in setting those trends.
ET Da Deep Web It was never made clear that Portal took place during the 7-hour-war. It’s definitely after the Resonance Cascade. I’d say it took before the 7-hour-war because in HL:A it’s made clear that the whole North America was destroyed.
What I loved about portal is that it was a puzzle game and then I broke out of the the puzzle. Nothing better than playing a game and thinking you know the format and boundaries of that world and it completely changes. It's almost like playing minesweeper for hours and then you reach a level where you break out of the game.
We all do. But personally, I'm growing up anyway... I would like to stay a kid and forget about the horrors of our world but it's too late now. I mean I'm still quite lucky. I stopped being an innocent kid around 16 years and a half, which is later than most of kids. But then the responsabilities and stress in general came at me and I wasn't ready for it. People who slowly mature during a few years are ready to take on their responsabilities when those years have past. But I had to pass directly from childhood to soon-to-be an adult. I'm still not quite used to all the complex things I have to do, and my mother doesn't help as I try to stay in my child-like mindset from before (most of the best things I created come from when I had this mindest and now I can't manage to do anything similar anymore) while my mother wants me to grow up. The problem is that she doesn't seem to know what a content for all ages is. For her, things are either for kids, or for adults. Mario. For kids. Pokemon. For kids. Animaniacs. For kids. That's her thoughts not mine. As for Portal... Heck ! She doesn't even know what it is ! But knowing her, if she watches Portal (even though I don't see her doing that sadly... And I don't even mention her playing it because even though she played a bit to video games as a kid, she stopped quite quickly and never did again), she'll pay attention for two minutes (if it's not half a second) and say that it's stupid and that I have better things to do. But as someone who wants to create video games (something that she doesn't accept), I need inspirations, and Portal is a great inspiration for anyone who isn't close-minded like my mother. Basically I try to grab on what's left from my childhood, but I'm not even sure if there's anything left to grab on, and if there is, my mother is constantly trying to make me lose my grasp. But this song... this song... It feels like there's still hope somewhere, and that no matter how long the tunnel is, there always gonna be light at the end of it. Wow I didn't expect to talk for that long, but now, you know what kind of hell is my life. And yet, I haven't told everything... But I won't.
She really is well designed, Wheatley is pretty good too. Since I love MD if you know it love the backstory of The Arch-Illager, and the mystery of the Heart of Ender.
Just finished the game. It's amazing how a game released 15+ ago feels like a breath of fresh air. The robot, even though it has no face or background story, is very well written and has an extremely distinct personality. Even though it's an asshole I can't help but love it lol. Can't wait to play Portal 2
As of the time I am writting this, Portal is officially 15 years old. So let's celebrate the 15th Anniversary of one of the best games ever made that is Portal! Edit: 16 now! Edit 2: 17 now!
This is pure art. The amount of emotion conveyed in a mere song at the end of a game is astonishing. And people say “are you playing video games!”. She went from “for” the people who are still alive to “experiments on” the people who are still alive so swiftly and smoothly that it perfectly describes GlaDOS. The thought that went into this mere song is crazy.
i cant believe its taken me this long to play both games. such beautiful games, the three songs are gonna be in my head for a while. feels like I've lost friend saying bye to this series haha i played both back to back and im already replaying them. honestly two of the best games I've ever played
So, if GLaDOS is reliving her death every twelve seconds during this, that means she relives it for a total of about 15 times over the course of the song, with a bit extra left over. So she really is still alive, during the last lyric, with about 8 seconds to go before her next death.

There is no doubt in my mind this is the best credit sequence of any media. Such a banger that comes out of left-field, just like the rest of the game. Endings are always difficult, and this is an absolutely brilliant way to end a game.
Song so old that youtube recommended it under "folk songs"
The funny thing is that the game takes place in the future, but yes it's an old(ish) song

Coolest part about this to me are the lines where she knows how bad the Combine have made things, and teases about being better off inside and ‘better you than me’.
Yeah I just realised that, after all these years. "When I look out there it makes me glad I'm not you". So good.
More of all she knows is something bad is happening, not what it is really.
"I have an infinite capacity for knowledge but not even I know what's going on out there. All I know is that I'm all that stands between us and them - well I was, anyway"
And in the boss batle "Im whats keeping them out" There were others
Holy shit what a easter egg man
my favorite part is
"But there's no sense crying over every mistake; You just keep on trying untll you run out cake."
because if you think about it, it's actually a pretty damn sweet and wholesome thing for GLaDOS to say.
It took me a second to realise when the says “Glad” she spells it “GLaD” like GLaDOS sneaky humour there woman.
She also puts a period in the middle of "I'm glad I got burned" like it's two separate sentences.
I'm GLaD.
I got burned.

idk what story is there for portal anymore. legit, in this case we got closure
were likely getting closure aswell if hl alyx does well. portal has no more story to tell, while half-life still needs to tell us the aftermath of episode 2. the only thing i can think of for portal to have a continuity would be that it has another prequel like hl alyx is to half-life 2 explaining the creation of GLaDOS

Never noticed that after mentioning black mesa, GLaDOS's voice becomes deeper, more closely resembling her voice in Portal 2. It's also where she gets more sarcastic, so I guess it all just represents the point at which she begins to resent the player more.

This song has been a rather humorous way to cope with it. Thanks, Valve.
The thing that makes GLaDOS a great villain is that she doesn’t treat any situation seriously, making her extremely funny but also dangerous without it being balanced out either way. It’s perfect writing and this song is a great example of it. Good job, Valve.
She's like AM with a sense of humor and technically altruistic values
*This legend date of 10 october 2007 Valve did changed world forever in the gaming.*
To the contrary, I think GLaDOS treats every situation seriously, but with a different perspective than a human's. Essentially immortal, she doesn't possess the sense of urgency a mortal human has. So her attitude comes across as indifferent, flippant, or dismissive from our perspective. But from GLaDOS' perspective, _everything_ is a test and the testing must *_NEVER_* stop; she's serious - deadly serious - about this imperative.

What I loved about portal is that it was a puzzle game and then I broke out of the the puzzle. Nothing better than playing a game and thinking you know the format and boundaries of that world and it completely changes. It's almost like playing minesweeper for hours and then you reach a level where you break out of the game.
I remember crying at the beauty and simplicity of the game when this song came on. Such sweet memories. I wish I never grew up.
We all wish that
You give me the NEED to play the game again
just do some class a amnestics and play the game again
We all do. But personally, I'm growing up anyway... I would like to stay a kid and forget about the horrors of our world but it's too late now. I mean I'm still quite lucky. I stopped being an innocent kid around 16 years and a half, which is later than most of kids. But then the responsabilities and stress in general came at me and I wasn't ready for it. People who slowly mature during a few years are ready to take on their responsabilities when those years have past. But I had to pass directly from childhood to soon-to-be an adult. I'm still not quite used to all the complex things I have to do, and my mother doesn't help as I try to stay in my child-like mindset from before (most of the best things I created come from when I had this mindest and now I can't manage to do anything similar anymore) while my mother wants me to grow up. The problem is that she doesn't seem to know what a content for all ages is. For her, things are either for kids, or for adults. Mario. For kids. Pokemon. For kids. Animaniacs. For kids. That's her thoughts not mine. As for Portal... Heck ! She doesn't even know what it is ! But knowing her, if she watches Portal (even though I don't see her doing that sadly... And I don't even mention her playing it because even though she played a bit to video games as a kid, she stopped quite quickly and never did again), she'll pay attention for two minutes (if it's not half a second) and say that it's stupid and that I have better things to do. But as someone who wants to create video games (something that she doesn't accept), I need inspirations, and Portal is a great inspiration for anyone who isn't close-minded like my mother. Basically I try to grab on what's left from my childhood, but I'm not even sure if there's anything left to grab on, and if there is, my mother is constantly trying to make me lose my grasp.
But this song... this song... It feels like there's still hope somewhere, and that no matter how long the tunnel is, there always gonna be light at the end of it.
Wow I didn't expect to talk for that long, but now, you know what kind of hell is my life. And yet, I haven't told everything... But I won't.

So, if GLaDOS is reliving her death every twelve seconds during this, that means she relives it for a total of about 15 times over the course of the song, with a bit extra left over. So she really is still alive, during the last lyric, with about 8 seconds to go before her next death.
Where did you get that answer nowhere near close
@Epic Cool That is correct, you just take the number of seconds the song lasts for (185s) and divide it by 12. This gives you 15.4.
She doesn't relive it every 12 seconds.
