Portal Easter-eggs


Portal: Easter Egg - Find the Cake



If you have been playing Valve’s Portal (part of the Orange Box release) you may have noticed that there are a few select parts where you can get into cubbies that seem like hide-aways with writing on the wall and what not. One of those cubbies (you may have been in) had a tone of graffiti on the wall and near the bottom and a login and password (Login: cjohnson, Password: tier3):


The trick is to go to the viral marketing site Valve setup for the in-game company: Aperture Science. Once you have logged in, you will be at the admin interface.


Not sure what all the commands are to do interesting things (you can track the forums), but they spent a ton of time with the back-story behind this company and making Portal more than a toy, so let’s hope it’s a good setup for learning about the next Black Mesa going forward after Episode 2.



Portal: A Day in the Life of a Turret

If a turret whines about his job, and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound? You bet it does. "A Day in the Life of a Turret" looks at the lives of two turrets at the Aperture Science Enrichment Center- and the monoty within.
