Portal: A History of Aperture (Timeline and Lore)
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 07. 2019
- Ever wondered what happened to the Aperture Science Enrichment centre before you started playing Portal? Here are the main events that happened before and during the Portal Series.
The timeline and lore of games has always interested me. Looking at Aperture Fixtures, Cave Johnson, GLaDOS and Chell was extremely interesting to understand why everything happened.

Super-murderous AI: hey guys I need some neurotoxin
Scientists: I dunno man
Super-murderous AI: It's for science
Scientists: fine, how much do you need?
Super-murderous AI: About enough to flood the facility
Scientists: seems legit
she probably used the automated tubes to flood one room and then sent the gas on to the next. Which would also explain how Ratman evaded the gas while in your version the gas would have been literally everywhere in the facility.
Dudududue uuuuu like eeee missserddd threee joookee soossoo im toing to saay the reddit wooosh because ikmm very smaaart LOOOOL

Utes It is though.
@@slyseal2091 lol their logic was still flawed
Remember guys, the series started cuz a guy got rich from selling shower curtains.
everyone needed privacy
Yeah, the military needed SHOWER CURTAINS and salt mines were dug so he could make BETTER SHOWER CURTAINS in a period where humanity was battling with the moral implications of MAKING SHOWER CURTAINS. Around the world, Cave Johnson became notorious for his ingenuity in making the first EXCELLENT SHOWER CURTAIN allowing users to transport themselves IN AND OUT OF THE SHOWER.
What could be next? *A combustible lemon?*
Classic Tails The Fox
Those probably already can exist and exist.
@@intestinalobstructiongamin157
:3
Cool but how did selling shower curtains ear him enough money to buy a giant salt mine and transform it to a science facility?
They must have been really good shower curtains 😂 😂
Maybe the shower curtain cost $60 - 100 each
He got awarded money
He sold them to the military which was huge
@@Skyrionn its called apple curtains
can we get an F for chell, she comes back out into the world to find out some inter-dimensional aliens invaded earth, nonetheless, good video!
I would've loved to find out what happened. Hopefully one day we will. Thank you so much for watching!
Half-life 3?
@@Metalsmoke420TTW It'd be great if we did get an Episode 3 and then a Half-life 3 if Half-Life: Alyx is successful!
@@Skyrionn hahaha u came back to Say that nice
Hopefully we get an answer
I mean, if portal 2 takes place hundreds of years after portal 1 like alotta people think it's entirely possible that the combine already fucked off and left earth, after y'know, stealing the borealis and killing everyone that is. For all we know she's literally the last human left on a planet with an ecosystem crippled by an alien empire she'll never actually see
How do you go from shower curtains to portal guns?
The magic of business. My family started off making barrels in poland then clothes in canada to having deli s, becoming a chain of 100 delis before losing money and now only having 2 (over a span of a few generations)
He just explained it in the video
Cave Johnson signed a deal with the U.S military, and provided them with Shower curtains, which made him a Billionaire. Then at some point in a Company Meeting, science was brought up as a potential future of Aperture, and then they rebranded as Aperture Science Innovators.
really gud scientific hygienic shower curtains lul
SCIENCE!
ngl when at the end of portal 2 chell gets the companion cube, it gave me a gut feeling that she never actually left apature, but was actually thrown into a whole new form of test
There is a mod that has that story but as far as I, and the rest of the fan base are aware, she's free. Sadly, we don't know if the Combine are still in control of Earth.
@@Skyrionn prob not
With how the sky has a beautiful blue and there is wheat all around the shack, I have the theory that the Resistance has won against the Combine and Portal 2 takes place a long time after.
I like to believe that Chell is truly free, it would make it a nice ending to the series afterall!
@@agoiagoi9356 A fanfic "blue sky" portrays this ending well.
@@Skyrionn said mod is Thinking With Time Machines
"take a wish foundation"
We take wishes from sick children and CRUSH THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE UNREALISTIC
Redistribute wishes from sick kids who are going to die and give them to wishless adults who will appreciate them more.
So basically, the opposite of the Make A Wish Foundation.
When life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade. Instead turn your assistant into a computer, take wishes from children and blame another company for you going bankrupt.

"cave had gotten moon rock poisoning due to exposure to grounded moon rock"
Cave: *stands in the middle of the dust*
MAKE LIFE TAKE MOON ROCK POISIONING BACK
Honestly Im pretty sure that cave didn't get moon rock poisoning. The test chambers had loads of asbestos, so it probably was asbestosis instead.
Well, the gel made from moon rocks is white, so maybe he uh.. snorted the dust
Wink wink nudge nudge
"I've been breathing dust all my life."
"Not this kind."
@@LunaNicoleTheFox It's described on the wiki as "an illness he contracted due to prolonged exposure to the byproducts of the Conversion Gel" So maybe it was the machinery used to Make the gel, not the rocks themselves.
Jesus, Wheatley’s only a tiny fraction of the Aperture Timeline
True but that is because hes just a morality core made to make glados stupider
Yeah that moron deserved it
Portal 2 wasn’t so much as significant in the history of Aperture, it was something of a reminiscence of its better days
@@theradiantbeast3478 But it may not be his fault cuz at the end he tells he is genuinely sorry to chell...
Afterall he was just trying to save chell when game starts.... Though moron he was very friendly and funny!!

@@totallynotaliar9912 srry I typed this on Huawei keyboard and its shit ok black mesa wanted to be better then aperture sience so thy started to make portals and then u knwo like wo wo wo aliens from portals
Meh. Black Mesa and Aperture's idea on portal are two different things to be the same thing anyways. One is dimensional Portals while the other is travel portals
Chester Tamayo
Black Mesa’s portals would send something through xen and then back into our own dimension while apertures would create a wormhole.
As seen in both series, they were both suitable for transportation.
I'm still trying to imagine what the Heimlich counter-maneuver would be
Can imagine it would be pretty uncomfortable to watch :P
Sense the Heimlich maneuver is supposed to keep people from choking,the counter maneuver would be make it worse.Also you could use it on people who are not choking,simply to make them vomit.
Assuming the Heimlich is used to remove objects obstructing the airways via an abdominal thrust lifting the diaphragm and expelling air from the patients lungs. The Heimlich counter-maneuver would be to have an object of which is not obstructing the airways, and via abdominal release pulling the diaphragm and taking in air from the patients lungs creating an obstruction with said object.
@@ImIncoherent That's a good theory.
They just punch you in the throat.
0:38 - "In 1944, Johnson purchased a huge salt mine in upper Michigan"

He didn't say upper peninsula.

@@falloutman3424 I live in Michigan and no one I have ever met has called it Upper Michigan. Everyone calls it the Upper Peninsula, or the U.P.
@@falloutman3424 I lived here damn near my whole life... Don't tell me how my state works.
@@daedreaming6267 Regardless of whether you call it the UP or "upper Michigan", most people still consider the 'glove' to be the lower area of the state. It's _still_ confusing.
Wow. This video was wonderfully constructed and most of this knowledge I had been unaware of. Unlike some other youtubers, you did not waffle about on the intro and went straight into it.
Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and comment! It was a pet peave of mine too! I'm so glad you liked it. I have two other timelines, Fable and Half-life if you're interested in those games!
I have heard and watched playthroughs of half life, and is installing on my xbox, I am yet to play it and I was just about to watch your half life time line. As for fable, I have never heard of it so I will be sure to watch it. Also, Could you make a theory on how half life and portal link? 😌 You're channel is a favourite of mine now!😁😁😁
Just like the SHOWER CURTAINS
OPR Mantic agreed
@@oprmantic4752 waaaaiiit half life is on Xbox? Jeez how much is it? I want half life so bad. I could buy it on steam but... E
Chell: Finally, I'm out of Aperture Science. Time to start a new life on the surface.
[Explosions, screaming and alien ships in the distance.]
Chell: Nevermind. GLaDOS, let me back in!
Chell in Portal 1: Let me out! LET ME OUUUUUUT!
Glados, about 50.000-60.000 years later: Aight.
Chell: Thanks.
*Combine noises in the distance getting closer.*
Chell: ...
*Punches door she came from*
Let me in!
LET ME IIIIIINNNN!!
(sorry for the crap joke)
There's a good chance Earth has been freed of the Combine for 1000s of years cause of Freeman and the mystery man, and all that wheat is to feed abundant human life
GLaDOS actually says something at the end of 1 how she’s safer inside, and so Portal 1 likely takes place around the time the Half-Life games take place, so Portal 2, being set an indeterminate amount of time in the future, likely a good few decades at minimum, a few thousand years tops, is likely LONG after everything there.
@@TheWither129 it’s really depressing when you think about it, Chell hasn’t met another human since she was kid (when GLaDOS casually murdered everyone there). Now she’s probably the only human alive.
@@Fl0wB3Foxywhat about the companion cube tho?
Chell: (ay lmao im back in town how long have i been out guys??) ...
Alien: *hydhbgjgdsjbhdkbhncnbgtvbbhn*
Chell: (what) ...
Alien: *hhsbdhbhabcyydcbba* * shoots chell *
Edit 2: After I finally became a Half Life fan I finally realized that Chell is defitively not in a good situation after leaving Aperture. America was pretty much completely destroyed by the portal storm and all that's left of humanity is with the Combine at Eastern Europe, she definitively won't find anything that can shoot at her, but for all we know she's probably gonna wander the remains of American until she dies or some Alien creature kills her, so R.I.P. Chell.
She still has long fall boots so I think it can do serious damage
Reckziegel
Lol
You forget, in the amount of time that has passed since Portal 1, any events of Half Life 3 (if the elusive beast ever exists) probably happened in the distant past.
Oh yeah and chill is so brain dead she can’t speak

This is seriously underrated I must say.
Thanks a lot! I appreciate the comment!
@@Skyrionn good video man , how can I get similar footage
The amount of effort you put into the custom scenery (ex: Rattman's scenes) is amazing. It gave a refreshing feel to documentaries nowadays.
That means a lot. So much time went into this. I just didn't want to narrate over generic footage. I wanted to show what was actually happening. Thanks for watching :)
I'm surprised you didn't use to comic.
Aperture when Black Mesa is destroyed by a nuclear device following the Resonance Cascade and the resulting portal storms and Combine invasion:
*"I've won...*
*but at what cost?"*
I think that by that time Aperture was already overrun by GLaDOS. And I wonder what are Skyrionn's sources about GLaDOS giving two fucks about Black Mesa - games and the wiki give me the impression that she just does testing for the sake of it

When life gives you lemons *YOU **_DON'T_** MAKE DAMM LEMONADE DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM*
I love the effort put into the video. A good connection with black mesa, One more thing I would add to open the bigger picture, is the Borealis events, Borealis an extremely important part of this universe. As you can clearly see it in HL2 Ep2 on the docks in Aperture, Yet when you play as Chell in portal 2, You can visit the dock in the Gel testing phase of the game, and find the Borealis missing. It opens a greater mystery as to who got to the Borealis first. Having Glados dormant anything could have taken place.
Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching! I love all the snippets of information that we get on the Borealis. I do go into the Borealis in my Half-life timeline video!
I'm hoping we find out what the storyline with the Borealis would have been at some point!
If GLaDOS didn’t get rid of it, who did?
So many possibilities...someone should make a Custom Map telling that story
The Borealis isn't in the docks of Aperture in EP 2, wtf are you talking about? It's clear from the message Mossman made that it seems to be in an Arctic shelf, possibly Antarctica. Somehow the ship was teleported to that location due to what it was carrying iirc.
Wasn't it black mesa who stole it which is how they developed their portal technology?
@@connor48880 even if someone would make custom stuff about it, it won't change the fact, that there's no canonical evidence to us, the audience, so far, since it isn't confirmed by valve officially.
Same goes for Mel Stories, Aperture Tag, Thinking With Time Machine, Prelude and so on. All of those are fun to play, but canonical not officially portal story relevant. They're just fan theories.
One thing that's always been on my mind is what happen to chell after portal 2....is dug rattman related to cave jonson? Is he related to chell? Or both
We're not sure what happened to her. The last thing we see is her coming out into a field of grain. A theory is that this is yet another test chamber or she may have escaped. As the amount of time is not stated from which the labs went into hibernation, we don't know what was happening on the outside world or who she met.
I don't think Doug was related to Cave or Chell, and I couldn't find any evidence to suggest it. There was a theory that Chell may have been Cave's daughter, but again it is unconfirmed and there is a lack of evidence.
@@Skyrionn we actually kinda are. All of it it is revealed in Portal 2 Sixth Perception or sometinh like this
@@phinus7295 That's not canon
Doug rattman isn’t related to cave Johnson. The story actually would most likely suggest that chell is the daughter of cave Johnson and Caroline (glados) as she was the daughter of someone at the facility who was clearly knowledgable on potato science since her work has ‘daddies recipe’ on. Cave johnson was awarded for potato science. Her surname was redacted from the system. It’s clear she is Caroline’s daughter due to the ending of portal two, the song at the end translates to my daughter and some of the lyrics point strongly to that conclusion. So I think if anyone in the story was related, it was chell being cave and Caroline’s daughter. It also would line up well with the timeline.
Read Blue Sky. I accept that as canon lol
GLaDOS: I need neurotoxin
Scientist: for science?
GLaDOS: yes
GLaDOS: *actually uses neurotoxin to kill the scientist*
GLaDOS: murder time
Fizz Allen it was for science though.

Scientist: dude... uncool
Scientists: get angry

@@vixity6785oversimplified moment
This is the moment you realize how little business sense Aperture's history makes.
"Here me out, what if we took people's wallets"
lot of businesses start out with extremely basic products and end up making billions. Cave was probably the type of dude who saved up all the money he made in his shower curtain era and poured it all into making aperture labs whereas business men nowadays spend it on private jets and their mansions.
@@vivejk4443yes, you can see he invest a lot of money to aperture "for science"

Jenya March I cannot answer that.

Amazing! Although I knew most of this, I thought the events of Portal happened in 1998? TIL it was 2010. Nice video!
I'm pretty sure it was 2010. I used the wiki to get accurate years. Of course, the wiki is available to edit by anyone, and valve are very careful about the information they give out so it may say its 1998 from other sources :)
@@Skyrionn I maybe didn't catch it, but did you bring up the fact that chell is Glados's child?
@CZcams Stuff I didn't mention that. There were rumours she is Carolyn and Cave's daughter, but not confirmed.
@@Skyrionn if you translate the turret song to english she is called her child
I used to think that the massacre, at least, took place in '98, too, though I'm not sure why now that I look back. Anyway, according to the Half-Life wiki - yes, the events of Portal take place in 2010.
""Are you trying to escape? [chuckle] Things have changed since the last time you left the building. What's going on out there will make you wish you were back in here. I have an infinite capacity for knowledge, and even I'm not sure what's going on outside." - GLaDOS
Man, wish we could find out what actually was going on at the surface
Enter Half Life 1, 2, and Alyx
I find the thought of Combine soldiers being sent to investigate and then get lost and tested on for 5 years before another squad gets sent in to look for the first in an endless loop satisfying.
I legit don't see The Combine being able to infiltrate it successfully and have a theory the moondust lining prevented any Xen portals from ever appearing in or around AS.
Even an Overseer being sent in would get trapped, sent to a room with like 1000 autoturrets and hear sadistic text-to-speech laughing at it's psy-grub ass.
Guys, I think Chell is Caroline's daughter, because if you translate the song the turrets sang it calls Chell " My daughter"
valve made this entire story in ~7 years (portal 1 began development in 2004, portal 2 released in 2011)
portal 2 came out 9 years ago...
if they are working on portal 3, even a bit, it’s gonna be outstanding.
i believe in you valve, please count to 3
There's still hope!
I heard that is was something they were trying to figure out, but it would be really hard cause it sounded like they wanted to do a Half Life Alyx thing where its VR but VR with Portals would make everyone throw up. So I think its gonna be a while before we get anything, But it will be an adventure!
there was a update recently
I don't think there's any reason for a Portal 3
Personally, I want to see the prequel to Portal, F-Stop, in addition to its sequel. Seeing Aperture at its apex in operation would be interesting.
No mention of what started GLaDOS's murderous traits in the first place: the mission statement for Aperture was 'we do what we can because we must' which is the epitome of nobility, but it was mistakenly typed into the main control unit as 'we do what we must because we can', which basically means GLaDOS could rationalize and justify all the killing. It went from we must do what we can to the ends justify the means. Beat Black Mesa at any cost.
I just love the juxtaposition of your very serious narration on lore that is very obviously not meant to be serious.
It's weird hearing someone that isn't a robot say "aperture science enrichment center"
You're what I saw a guy on another channel called a "diamond in the rough CZcamsr" - someone with amazing content who has far less subs than they deserve. That was amazing! Great video!
Thanks so much for commenting and checking out my channel! I really appreciate you taking your time to watch my content!
Did you mean that someone on another channel called me a diamond in the rough?
Skyrionn He was talking about a different channel, I was talking about how he called them the same thing. It's a great idea I've started to try and spread.
Ah! Thanks so much. I am glad you liked the video!
How come the Combine not able to detect the lab? The facility needs energy and that energy can be trace.
I haven't played any of these game but with this amount of lore and source material, this can be a good Netflix series or probably a trilogy movie, the universe of Half-Life.
I think it really could be an excellent series.
Valve wantes to make movies on there own. But the latest info was that they talked with other to do these movies.
And the entire facility can perform test to a minimum of 1.1V
Maybe they DID try to enter the facility but GLaDOS was able to keep them at bay this is still unknown how she did that possibly spraying neurotoxins all over the facility.
@@blackmesa2670 gasmasks my friend
@@sn31t33 If playing Portal has taught me something is that the test chambers that Aperture Science have are hard to navigate and are full of turrets, lasers and pits of doom
Imagine they make a game called “RattMan : A portale tale” It would be a prequel to Portal 1
I'd love a game based on him. That'd be amazing!
they have a comic on it
I’d love JUST ANY OTHER FREAKING PORTAL GAME
4:55 Woah his face just gave me a panic attack-
That is freakishly inhuman.
I loved this. The portal games are my favorite games ever, and it's so nice to see that its...
still alive.
Nice. Now I have to listen to that song.
Thanks for watching! There's more Portal content to come!
I really like how this could just be a movie and nobody would notice it's actually the plot of a game
We also have no idea how long the time gap is between the 2 games. It's safe to assume that the overgrowth and disrepair of the facility that a significant amount of time has passed, enough that Half Life 2's events have most likely already taken place and possibly the third game as well, assuming the third game will ever come out... VALVE.
Maybe with Half-life: Alyx coming out, it may inspire them to finally create it!
I feel like the Unofficial Game, Portal Stories: Mel, Is is good semi-link for Portal 1 and Portal 2, Infact it takes place *before* portal 1 (first Chapter), and before portal 2.
A lot of people think Half Life and Portal 3 will be one game since the universes have been set in place to merge.
@@Skyrionn I mean Alyx took place before HL2
ive heard people saying that the time gap is 50k years
One question, though. When Cave Johnson tested, did he kill his test subjects at the end? Or was he not evil.
As far as I'm aware, the subjects were paid for participating in the experiments, so I'm assuming they lived.
Some subjects did die though.
He did not kill people intentionally or directly, but some of the tests may have caused subjects untimely demise. But just because he didn't kill people personally, doesn't mean he was a good person. Also, while fictional characters can often be purely black or white (evil or good, which is not the case here by the way), in reality, it is never that simple, just remember.
Another question, what happened to doug after chell left?
@@gonkdroid4112 There is a comic that shows Doug's journey and what happens to him
Very good, however what about the lore of the coop campaign? The "rescued" humans in the vault etc.?
With how long the video was, and how much information had been packed in, I thought I would just focus on the core storyline. It's still a great campaign though!
also! not sure if this is canon, butif you play enough community test chambers a seperate story is slowly revealed through the opening cave johnson narrations, it's super cool.
I could look into it in the future if its something you would like!
@@offchristianamr Really? Do you mind typing any of it out, or linking me to it? I played portal 1 and 2 for the first time a couple months ago, and loved the story. Also loved this video, even if I already knew most of it from my wiki spree I went on to gather as much lore as possible
@@beardedoranges8358 there is probably a wiki on it if you Google "portal 2 community test cave Johnson" but the gist is that every chamber is meant to be a different multiverse and one of the first recordings is cave saying something like "after we found out how to get into the multiverse finding test subjects became that much easier" you then get random clips of cave telling the player about the "overlords" commands or how the fight with the mantis men is coming along, there's is a clip of a mantis cave talking about how the fight with the men mantises is going badly etc
I really liked this vid, it gave me many facts on Portal which is my favorite game
I'm glad you enjoyed and took something from it! I also have a timeline on Half-life if you're interested on more stories from that world.
this is probably one of the best and most accurate rundowns of Portal lore I've seen. great job!
That's very kind, thank you! I have other timelines too if you're interested! Stick around for more like this!
In chapter 1 of P2, while Wheatley is guiding Chell’s relaxation vault to the P1 chambers, there are a few relaxation vaults with some information on them, including an expiration date. So it’s highly possible that Chell could’ve been in stasis for a maximum of around 20 years.
13:07 Well the Earth still has OCEANS. That means the Combine didn't win!
I noticed that too! It's actually a fact in one of my next fact videos on Portal II.
A blue sky is due to Rayleigh scattering which makes the ocean appear blue, not the other way around
Zimboiii You could tell there was oceans in the final boss battle, where you teleport to the Moon. You can see the Earth with oceans there.
This was a nice recap of everything. I've been looking for something like this, and it's great!
Glad you enjoyed it! I have a timeline of Half-Life too if that's something you're interested in!
when glados got chell with the elevator outside, chell didn't really got outside. she got in a fake scene somewhere in aperture science lab, while atlas and p-body (maybe i think) turned glados off instantly.
this continuing story of mine is in thinking with time machine game.
Good theory!
@@Skyrionn p-body and atlas said about glades will kill them in twtm.

@@Skyrionn Thanks mate. I've never played Fable but the Half-life one I will watch now.
Man this is really well made

Thank you. It means a lot. I love making this kind of content. If you like explanation/ timelines - I also have done Half-life, Bioshock and Fable.
I really wish valve would make a portal 3. It has been 13 years so I dont think its gonna happen
obviously there will be a vr portal
Remember the Take-A-Wish Foundation
A new half life game was just released anything is possible now
Sorry to disappoint, but the latest Valve statement was there won't be a Portal VR because of Motion Sickness problems. Apparently they tried and failed.
There’s really no point for a portal 3. The story is over.
I just thought of the fact that if Chell was only a child at Aperture Science during Bring your daughter to work day and Glados was activated during that day shouldn't she have the mind of a child during Portal 1 and 2?
So that’s why Chell is mute, she literally doesn’t know English lmao
7:10 - "Sometime later that year - "
How do you know that the morality core was built _before_ the BYDTWD disaster in the early 90's - but only installed onto GLaDOS after? I was always thought that the core was built as a direct result of that tragedy, not... before. I'm not really sure why this timeline has that event sandwiched inbetween the construction and installment of the core.
Regardless, thank you for all of the work you put into making these timeline videos.
With dates, I did rely on the Wiki. I'll have to double check though to see if I am mistaken. I took information multiple pages to attempted to put it into a chronological timeline!
@@Skyrionn And I appreciate all the hard work you put into piecing everything together! - that just had me confused.

This vid looks like something from someone with over 500,000 subs, but you only have 600. :( Subbed!
Thanks so much! Maybe one day with some hard work :) Stay tuned for the next video :)
Really well done! I really like all the visuals you created. It definitely helped the whole story make sense. Great work!
Thanks for watching it :D
Brillant work dude
Bro, How do you have less than a thousand subs?!? You deserve so much more than that! Great content, keep up the spectacular work!
It's still early days. I'm working towards more though! I have a Bioshock episode coming out on Monday. Thanks for watching!

Dont get to close
really well made. if you did these animations that was a worthwhile labor of love
This was a love letter to Portal. These games were my childhood and I loved revisiting the world. Thanks for watching!
You need more subscribers man, this video has great production value
I'm working towards it! Thanks a lot for watching and commenting!
This was awesome, how did you get the info though? I've played both games but alot of the information isn't mentioned in either, this is awesome, i love portal so much dude
Thank you! A lot of the information is mostly in Portal 2. To fill in more of the information, the Portal Wikia helped a lot!
If you like Portal, you may like the Half-life timeline I also did!
I feel there is something wrong about abandoned salt mine that Cave purchased. A businessman who's wealth based on shower curtains, all of sudden decides to invest money on science. But most weird part is the salt mine, why buying a mine that is 4200 meters underground ? This brings me to some hypotheses:
1- after getting very rich Gman appeared in front of Cave & told him what to do, thus contributing to events of Portal 1
2-or, somehow Cave discovered about salt mine & what was there changed his life. Maybe mine discovery has something to do with military & World War 2, through which he discovered that salt mine, after all, he developed high-tech shower curtains for military, so he might have useful contacts that brought him valuable info
Also, why Portal gun & Gravity gun have the same colors, orange & blue ? Two games have their stories going around portals. What if Cave discovered in that salt mine that orange mineral we can see in Gravity gun ? Somehow he understood the value of that mineral, so he decided to go into science to unlock it's true potential. Now, why did that mineral was in that salt mine ? Well, why did portal gun worked on moon ? I suppose that mineral came from moon (somehow) as asteroid & when it fell on earth, it pierced the bottom of that land place for 4 km. Cave gone crazy with time, I guess this has to do with mineral experiments. Also, Mesa might have stolen some info regarding mineral as well as mineral itself, thus created their own experiments, but while Apperture got their Portal Gun mechanic, Mesa got dimension Portal result. Besides, if experiments with mineral brought Cave to craziness, then in Mesa, it brought to Gman. & the last, all this is might be bullshit.
Instead of the god of the gaps u use the g man to explain the unexplainable. The Gman of the gaps lol

such amazing work. i loved it! good job
I'm so happy you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for watching!
This my favourite video on CZcams 10/10
They should tie portal 3 and half-life 3 together having Chell meet up with Freeman? (It's been a while) to finish the story already.
I'd love that to happen, and hopefully at some point, we'll find out!
Remember, valve can’t count to 3 though
Corrupted Gaming Hey, maybe they finally came up with their definition for 3, which is “alyx” and 4 comes right after that
Isn't portal 2 set 50,000 years after portal
@@PpeseProductions with all the time traveling the g-man does maybe they do meet
wow very well made! you deserve a medal
It just came from a love of the game and video game lore in general ♥
Skyrionn I actually just finished the game yesterday. What an amazing game. You should make more of these videos. They are great! Happy new year btw!
I haven't search this kind of portal videos in my entire.why? Because i want to know all the timeline and lore of the portal,finally i found it!! And it means thanks to u!!
4:32 Oh, thats why there are signs saying to not stand under the dispensers.
Safety first!
Awesome summary! Thanks!
This is definitely one of my favourite ones I've made. Currently working on a Bioshock Timeline 😍 Thank you so much for taking the time to watch!
I have to know how you got these accompanying animations. I can tell you used locations from Portal 1 and 2, but all of these scenes aren't from the games, and they are so well done!
Wow amazing production quality. This needs more views.
Thank you. I really enjoyed working on it! Thanks for watching!
Love this, great work!!
Awesome! Thank you! If you'd like to see a timelime for another game, I'm happy to take suggestions!
Im assuming the rat man gave chell the companion cube at the ending of portal 2.. If that gets confirmed then thats just sweet.
Or sad depending on how you look at it.
His friend. That is sad. We sadly don't know what happened to Rattmann.
@@Skyrionn Didn't he bleed out and die after making sure Chell lived? I cound have sworn I saw that being said somewhere.
@@Hearluck I believe he did start to bleed after being shot, but his death was never confirmed as far as I'm aware.
I'm pretty sure he's dead by that time. And I've read somewhere that Valve said that this is in fact the very same companion cube that Chell supposedly destroyed in Portal (and it doesn't have the general cube redesign that happened in Portal 2)
Shower curtains are like portals to being clean 😂
This is probably one of the best things I've read haha
This is really underrated. Amazing video!!! keep it up!!!
Thanks so much!
is no one gonna talk about how perfectly edited this video is!!!?
You didn't include what happened in the co-op campaign. Or is that non-canon?
I believe it is canon, but wanted to focus on the Chell and Rattman storyline mostly.
No it’s 100% canon

Awesome video, loved the cutscenes and sets
Thanks for watching! It took a while to make but was so worth it!
portal 2, despite having no jumpscares, gore, or horror elements whatsoever, remains the scariest game i ever have or ever will play. the test chambers later on in the game chill you to the bone, especially combined with the disturbing prerecorded messages and inkling that something horrifying happened there.
once you get into the gaps between levels, where you can see forever into a gray abyss, there's no scarier feeling. absolute masterpiece of a game.
I found portal 1 more of a horror atmosphere tbh. Throughout the game you’re wondering where is everyone then find out this AI you’ve been talking to for the whole game killed everyone. Portal 2 still has some horror elements with the old aperture but for the most part it’s comedy focused with action sequences.
Im a simple man. I find a well put lore video with good atmosphere-setting music and visuals, i watch the video and subscribe to the creator.
Thanks so much! There's more to come!
Good video!
Thank you! Thanks for watching!
Great job on this timeline video! I really enjoyed seeing all of the portal events in one coherent timeline.
Side note: it was nice to read the discussions about the lore in the comments (plus it was super cool to see you being so interactive with your viewers. One thought I've had is that if Doug Rattman still is alive. Personally, I believe he is (he gets into the relaxation vault, but in portal 2 the bed is missing, however, we don't know if anything happened to it? (moved somewhere else? destroyed? he escaped?)). Anyway, I think it would be really cool to see him incorporated into a future game. Any thoughts? I would be really interested to see what you think. Also, great work again glad to see someone making cool videos like this about my favorite game ever!
Thanks for watching!
I didn't realise that loads of discussions would appear here, but I love it. A little community of sorts.
It was never confirmed what happened to him. I believe he did pass away but it is plausible that he could still be alive. It'd be great if he managed to leave, and get to the outside. There, Chell and Doug could possibly deal with whatever is happening on the outside world.
Stick around, I have more Portal/ Half-Life content in the works!
@@Skyrionn Thanks for replying! I can't wait for more!
Great vid! I do love me some portal lore
Nice job
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Chell probably be like:
"Shit, let me back in!"
Who knows if the Combine are still there. With the Combine draining the earth of all resources, it makes me think why there is a field of grain there.
No.
Excellent video!
Love and appreciate your videos they're very helpful to the people or nerds who really want to know thank you make more
This is awesome!
Thanks so much. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Was this made with Garry's Mod? Amazing job!
Thanks for watching! It was a combination of Garys Mod, Portal and Portal 2 :)
@@Skyrionn Ah I see. That's awesome, really great editing! I'm gonna watch your Half-Life one next :)
Thank you! I really appreciate it. I hope you enjoy it!
@@Skyrionn where did you get all the models?
This is such a great video, you really should have more subscribers!
Thanks so much! Thanks for watching. I also have timeline videos on Half-Life and Fable, with a Bioshock being uploaded tomorrow. Always working towards more.
What a wonderfully made video. Very unique in the presentation. Hell, I learnt stuff I didn’t even know!
Thank you! I appreciate the comment! Stick around for more timelines and lore :)
Skyrionn will you do TF2 lore? I’d really like to see that!
@@SLZABBJNGO I could definitely look into it!
