NPCs don't fall through portals :(

If they did, this would be so incredibly epic.

Something I was wondering. Who's model appears in the portals. Chell's or Gordon's

Chell. Portal loads all the HL2 resources you copied. Nowhere in the map data does it define what character model to use, so it uses Chell.

A thing I noticed pretty quickly is that HL2's resources were NEVER quite ready for any upgrades to the source engine. It feels a bit weird when they hit terminal velocity in a portal.

Speaking of Portal, I just watched a few vids for it on Youtube. Poor Weighted Companion Cube. :(

On the upside the boss battle with Glados was awesome. I'm torn between curious sphere and angry sphere being the cutest.

I like how Mike Patton is the Angry Sphere, and thus the only other voice actor in the game besides Ellen McLain.

If theres one thing in the game that gives an amazing sense of satisfaction it's making that bitch pay for making you kill your buddy.

She had it coming.

Portal is full of awesome and win.

Am I the only one who thinks GLaDOS sounds like Mr. B from Clone High?

When I heard GlaDOS speaking, I immediately thought about SHODAN (main villainess of the System Shock series). Their speeches were quite alike, but SHODAN was much more intimidating.

Portal seems to be quite a great puzzle game. I asked for the Orange Box for Christmas.

They don't sound that much alike. SHODAN frequently echoed and glitched. Her voice had a constant strong deep note with weaker high frequency voice. She also spoke slower.

glaDOS spoke quicker and had a higher pitch voice, her voice also was a composition of 4 voices. Her voice changes when you destroy parts of her AI.
When her voice glitches it also ditches fairly differently.

I heard GlaDOS speaking with glitches when I saw the game for the first time, so that's why I thought they sounded alike. And their personalities are quite similar to a certain point.

Whyyyy?

See the in-game commentary to answer that. Also, I'm proud to say that burned that sucker post-haste.
