UPDATE ON THE RATTMAN DISCS: It turns out that the Co-Op Disc Sequences were actually BASED OFF THE ENTITY LOGIC for the Rattman Discs, not the other way around! Several of the logic entities that are referenced in sp_a1_intro3’s Trigger that has Dead I/O for the Discs actually still exist in the Co-Op maps that have disc sequences but are not used at all, indicating the Co-Op sequences were directly based on the Rattman Discs!
-
I wonder if the Ratman disks would've told the same story that the Ratman comic ultimately told
-
"We didn't want to show him because that would instantly date the game" Shows Chell through portals anyways
-
Doug Rattmann forgot to put the CD in his computer.
-
in addition to co-op, the lost discs sound like a similar thing to the radio secrets added in Portal 1 too, so I guess this sort of concept is something they liked enough to do it in other places when they couldn't make it work how they wanted originally
-
I love the instant replay for core8_display, in my head I was thinking like "hold up, you can't just mention there's an 8th core without going in-depth about it" and sure enough, there it is.
-
6:27 Wait, is the implication he gets dropped into the murky water? And like the space core, goes to where he's always wanted?
-
There is moon in almost every rattman's mural, not just the ceiling one. This (and also the comic and the ARG) really hints that he became somewhat obsessed with the moon.
-
your intro made me realize that if someone made a portal iceberg meme they could just use a depiction of portals current and previous testing facilities through the ages instead of the iceberg image
-
I think he's totally right that showing a human character instantly dates the game. Human characters are so easy to tell when things are wrong. They will always look like a video game character and we will likely be able to tell when that character was made based on its quality. Look at hl1 scientists and hl2 civilians. They look so dated. Characters from elder scrolls that came out in the same year look outdated now. Also, rattman only being in the comics really adds mystery to him.
-
...everyone's favourite Easter egg character, "Hoopy the Hoop" Doug Rattman "Oh..."
-
"this piece of logic does not have the frankenturret anywhere in it... IT HAS A PERSONALITY CORE BOM BOM BOM BOMMMM
-
hearing "core" and "cores" so frequently I end up mixing course and courses into the equation lmao
-
Given that up until the literal end of the game, wheatley is the only personality core you get to meet, I bet that players confused the Aquarium Core for Wheatley, given how long it's visible in the gag
-
Dang, really surprising how many easter eggs I never knew about. Amazing video! 2 Really love not being in the loop of any of these beyond-surface-level tidbits. Like, ah yes, the famous Aquarium Core, that we all know about. Whaat, their eye is a different color from what we all of course associated it with? What a revelation that is! May you live on in your flashlight form, Aquarium Core, you were like a(n estranged) brother to me.
-
It's a shame about the Rattman discs, If they were worried about them aging, they should have gone for FMV clips, kind of like how Control did it.
-
17:19 “And it centers around everyone’s favorite character…” HOOPY! “Doug Rattman” oh..
-
Speaking of Portal and Aussies: did you know there's a Portal Easter egg in the show Bluey? It appears for about ten frames at the end of the episode Daddy Dropoff! You can find it online, but the whole episode is worth a watch.
-
Curse you Ossy, making me re-hyperfixate on Portal again!! Jokes aside this video is fucking peak. I said this on your return video but I'm glad you're back, unironically one of my favourite channels that cover Valve-related stuff. Hyped to see what you've got cooking up for the future!
