Aperture Investment Opportunity #4: "Boots"

แชร์

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 เม.ย. 2011
  • Over the last few weeks, we've gotten quite a few enticing reasons to pre-invest in Aperture Laboratories: from the planks of tomorrow, to test-optimized bots, to the last word in pre-emptive defense, the Home Safety Turret. Today marks Aperture's fourth and final Investment Opportunity video, and if it doesn't get you reaching for your special investment wallet, you wouldn't know a can't-miss opportunity if it was staring you in the face, yelling at you about boots.

    fun fact: if you pay attention to the sequence at 0:12 there is a small detail that says "if the portal device fails to produce portals, the black hole may need to be carefully restarted by carefully throwing 1 or 2 miniature german stick grenades into it" and if you look at the legend to the left, there are tiny german stick grenades included in the portal gun

      Aperture is clearly one of the most advanced groups in the HL multiverse, ahead of even Black Mesa, I’m assuming they actually do sell enough technology to fund their expansions but they blitz through money so fast and are so up to their neck in lawsuits they’re perpetually on the brink of bankruptcy.
      Also it seems they’re a private company that’s very bad at applied uses for their creations, so they don’t have many usable products for their breakthroughs and they don’t have public shareholders to boot Cave from running the company into the ground.

Quickly disassemble the Ring Singularity Harness, pry apart the upper and lower Ring Singularity Rings, and gently remove the Event Horizon Estimation Wheel.

      That would be really counterintuitive, because your body tries to regulate falling. It would definitely take some time before getting adjusted to the equipment, and even then it's very much a question of how that equipment should function to create a harmony with natural body movements instead of trying to regulate or even contradict them.

Their complete disregard for any sort of caution and safety measures is one of my favorite things about the story world. It just cracks me up, and even though they're cartoonishly foolhardy, it never breaks the immersion. It never makes me stop thinking, 'that so wouldn't happen'. No matter what they do, my reaction is 'yep, that's Aperture alright. Probably a pile of dead test subjects off in the distance'

    so the boots are the reason you don’t experience fall damage, and the turrets shooting the whole bullet is why Chell can survive being shot so many times. i just love that there are canon reasons for Portal’s video game logic rather than a willing suspension of disbelief. it’s so clever and scratches the right itch for me

  • @eden20111
    @eden20111 8 ปีที่แล้ว +355

    Fallout 4 has a Portal reference when you enter the Mass Fusion building. There's a step by step video on how to obtain the high fall leg armor for your character. If you read the logs on the computer, the guy will mention creating anti fall boots for those who don't want to use the stairs. The Mass Fusion building is a skyscraper and they didn't put elevators for the employees so they had to use stairs, and so he came up with the high fall boots.
    It's great because it's referenced to Portal

      Gordon Freeman That is a good point. Valve has always done a good job at impressing us. A new engine would be amazing, but still, the source engine now is pretty good. Personally, it is better than the new frostbite 3.
      Hopefully more valve games will come out soon. From all the research (extended googling) i have done, it seems that portal 3 is supposed to be around in 2016. Valve has been giving us tiny pieces such as making trademarks, then later deleting or destroying them. i mean WTF! are they just trying to keep us interested, or trying to ANNOY THE FUCKING HELL OUT OF US (excuse my french) in all honesty though it was 4 years between portal and portal 2, and we havent made it that far yet. Still, valve released Portal: Still alive in 2008 and kept us busy a little while longer. We have had no portal 2 DLC or standalone titles (as far as i know of) yet. All i can say is i hope we see a new portal title soon, and THANK GOD for the steam workshop for providing fun little maps.
