Aperture: Lab Ratt

They did a pretty awesome job of this in my opinion.

I think its brilliant. I am not sure I understand it fully, and am left feeling as though I have missed something, - this after watching it twice very carefully. It has very much the same feel as the like scenes in, "A Beautiful Mind (2001)", to me. If I have missed some greater meaning, I have found in it a personal truth that has been very helpful. For weeks I have been struggling with a poem I am composing, in which I had made the mistake of rhyming science with neurotoxin. :lol:

Well I am glad the video was able to help correct that folly of rhyming. Of course the idea is that this is based on the video games Portal and Portal 2. I thought maybe there would be some fans of the games that would find the video pretty nifty.

Well I knew it was based on something I was not familiar with. (in the beginning somewhere it flashes it up for just a sec.) Not knowing the plot it was hard to tell who was crazy or if no one was, but they did a very good job of making it feel chaotic. I mentioned the science, compliance, neurotoxin bit cuz I thought it was a cool little twist to have a synthe voice trip you up a little with some abstract shite.

Portal and Portal 2, X-box, ps3, or pc? Only asking cuz I was crazy game addicted for a bunch of years. The original Nintendo, intelavision, most recent system I played was ps2 when it was first out. Gran turismo junkie for a bunch of months til it got boring - had the best cars with all license, - no challenge left. haven't really played anything since. The time I spend here just as well split it and get back into gaming some. Are Portal and Portal 2 one of the interactive online games where you hook up with other ppl? Or are they all like that anymore? I'm just rambling, but have been thinking about getting a system again.

Anyway even though I didn't have the reference to understand the video fully, I still thought it was way cool.

I'm curious why post it here? Music and Videos - obviously it's a vid, but might get more looks in the games forum? but what do I know.

Take care, don't worry too much about answering ^ ,like i said just sorta rambling.

I've only ever played them for PC but I believe they're available for PS3 and Xbox 360 too. They're puzzle games with a side of action. I had actually considered putting it in the video games section but basically flipped a coin.

As for the voice, that is GLaDOS. She's the primary antagonist of the series. She's also well known for her end-of-game songs.
