OMG PORTAL 2?!?!?!
quick summary: on March 1 Portal was updated on Steam with a bunch of new soundfiles and a new achievement. the added soundfiles were Morse Code recordings or SSTV transmissions. enterprising nerds decoded the messages to discover a bunch of images that look like security camera feeds from Aperture Science, and a phone number for a BBS with more images & texts about Aperture Science history(?)...
...like these awesome notes from AS founder Cave Johnson.
"…remind you that APerture Science is built on three pillars. Pillar one: Science without results is just witchcraft. Pillar two: Get results or you're fired. Pillar three: if you suspect a coworker of bin' a witch, report them immediately. I cannot stress that enough. Witchcraft will not be tolerated."
"A lot of you have been raising concerns about the so-called "dangers" of what we're all doing here. The beancounters told me to tell you that as of today, testing will no longer be as mandatory or as dangerous. That's not gonna happen and here's the reason."
"Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: Why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: Why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired."
"Plus, in the event of your death, I personally guarantee that, thanks to the form you were required to sign this morning, your family will not suffer the indignities of a prolonged and costly legal battle against Aperture Science. Trust me, I am rich, and it is a burden I would not wish on anyone."
ffffff GUISE I AM EXCITE.
