Portal Steam Update Hides Something


Recommended Posts

Valve releases update to Portal with new achievement: Radio Transmission

 

With in Portal there are radios that play Morse code/ audio clips when brought near a switch

 

The audio clues contain images

 

With in the images are clues to a BBS number

 

Each image has is numbered 1 to 32 out of 32

 

There are 32 digits with in md5 hash each image contains 4 bits when arranged together in order produces a md5 hash

 

that md5 hash when solved gives a 10 digit number

 

that number is a bbs

 

it connects to GLadDos

At the end of Episode 2, weren't Gordon and Alyx off to find the Borialis, the Aperture Science ship? I'm sure Portal 2 will have a tighter link to the Half Life universe than Portal did. Get ready for The Maroon Box!

I dont know if I want Portal to link to the HL universe. Portal is cool and funny and smart and interesting. HL2 is pretty much the exact opposite of that.

 

Another Lab or a HL like level structure set in a normal outside world? I will take the lab please.

Valve does a stealth update to portal with patch notes mentioning something about transmissions. There are now radios throughout the game that, when taken past certain points, send out a transmission containing morse code messages, which appear to involve usernames and passwords etc.

 

In addition, the sound files contain embedded images including numbers that make up an md5 sum, which resolves to a phone number that connects to a "GlaDOS" BBS which asks for a username and password. when you put in "backup" for both, the thing goes crazy with garbled text from "C. Johnson" from aperture science and some old school ANSI images of portal and possibly half-life related business.

 

Is that about right?

 

Oh and the GlaDOS version from the BBS is 3.11 which possibly corresponds to announcement Valve could make at GDC on March 11. Anything else?

Re: Human Enrichment & Testing Initiative, Resource Acquisitions

 

 

 

1. "Low Risk" Human Resource Acquisitions

 

 

 

a. Hoboes and Tramps

 

Lives spent wandering aimlessly, cowering before authority, and drinking

 

concussive amounts of home-distilled potato alcohol make hoboes the perfect

 

Human Enrichment test subjects. The hobo questions nothing, will follow orders

 

if fed, and, like all hoboes, has a restless, wandering heart. (Note: The

 

wandering heart of the hobo should not be confused with Drifting Heart

 

Syndrome, which several transients contracted during testing.)

 

 

 

b. Child Orphans and Foundlings

 

Deep-rooted abandonment issues leave most orphans highly susceptible to

 

shame-based psychology (for a complete list of opportune moments to obliterate

 

the esteem of test subjects, please consult Training Video #89-D, "You'd

 

Perform This Test Better if You Had Parents"). Recent advances in the use of

 

scorn, flattery used in an ironic context and naked contempt as motivational

 

tools have yielded similarly profitable results.

 

 

 

c. Psychiatric Patients

 

Past experience shows these fellows are simply not shy at all about carrying

 

on, disrupting tests and defecating just about anywhere that pleases them.

 

Frankly, itís off-putting, and small wonder why Aperture-brand mental

 

institutions are being phased out in favor of more orphanages.

 

 

 

d. Seniors

 

Frail, brittle hands make holding science devices difficult. Most were born

 

before the advent of science, and can become confused and disoriented when

 

asked to participate in relatively simple tests (teleportation, invisibility,

 

adjusting esteem levels of orphan children). "
