    The path of the pyro is the very domination of spies!

    Halflife2.net interview Marc Laidlaw

    So if you don't close Lamarr in the rocket...who does? Oh shit. Magnusson is a murderer! As for "sentimental junk", if they can pull it off with the emotion they did in EP2, I'm all for more "junk".

    Portal happened right around when HL2 begins [SPOILERS]

    I personally think Portal takes place sometime after the 7 hour war, quite possibly a few years even. During HL2? Dunno, I think that's stretching it. However, by the time EP3 comes around, Chell would be out for quite a long time by now. Wouldn't the Combine or Rebels try to contact Chell...

    Gman monologue in here! SPOILER!

    Like G-Man said, "I'm not one to squander investments." G-Man knew that if Eli lived he would have talked Alyx and Gordon out of getting to the Portal ship, so he probably felt it was in his best interest to not interfere and allow Eli to die. "Prepare for Unforseen Consequences". Because Eli...

    Gman monologue in here! SPOILER!

    Probably. Mossman was Breen's right-hand man and must've known about G-Man. Even Eli knew about him, wouldn't be surprised if Kleiner was in on it as well.

    Gman monologue in here! SPOILER!

    Actually, I recall that if you drive your car of the bridge and crash it, you'll get a message saying something like "The vortessence can now sense a doom that cannot be stopped" or something like that. I get the feeling they're watching him the same way G-Man did. Not really. It's obvious by...

    OHH MY GOD! (Huge spoilers)

    ...what? Look at it this way. GlaDOS and the Portal technology is obviously Aperture's biggest technologies. What else could be in there? And it makes sense. After GlaDOS goes berserk, Aperture somehow drops her off in the arctic or whatever. It may be the Portal gun isn't even at Borealis, but...

    Was it all part of the test? (spoilers)

    Except they did contain her. They somehow took her out of wherever she was (somewhere where it's nice and sunny according to one of the ending scenes) and dropped her off in some canyon in the Arctic or the north pole or whatever. Perhaps they didn't shut her down completely because they felt...

    OHH MY GOD! (Huge spoilers)

    Ah-ha! So Episode 3 will be Gordon and Alyx racing the Combine to Aperture, where both gets their asses kicked by GlaDOS until Gordon kills her somehow. Hell, imagine it. I'm sure there will be mazes and other death-traps killing you and combine soldiers. Ever see the movie Cube? Kinda like...

    [Spoiler] Regarding Lamar.

    You play Lamarr in Episode 3.

    GlaDOS, Aperture and the rest: How does it all tie up?

    I think it's pretty up in the air whether or not Portal happens around black mesa or after the combine invasion. No real evidence to support either claim really. But I'm pretty sure we'll see GlaDOS up and running in some form when Gordon hits Borealis.

    Aperture and Black mesa.

    Aperture and Black mesa.

    I see. Well, I guess the combine backed aperture kinda falls apart to that D: However, it may be that g-man looked to both companies for whatever reason (portal technology I guess) The Portal Gun from Aperture seems to be much more advanced than the Black Mesa version. I'm just saying...

    Aperture and Black mesa.

    I don't think they intended the Black Mesa incident to occur the way it did. For all we know, they used Aperture to secretly monitor humanity and attempt to align itself with the US Government. (and control the leading authority somehow, just like the Nihilanth) Then Black Mesa happened, The...

    Aperture and Black mesa.

    I heard something very recently from a friend that apparently Aperture was a rival to Black Mesa. I think this is a very cool thing since it actually answers why Black Mesa had a portal gun (of sorts) in Opposing Force. The reason? It was an answer to Aperture's portal gun. Company competition...
