You know, we always thought GLaDOS ran the Portal simulation just so she could discover the true value of friendship, but it may really have been in the name of public service. In the video after the break -- created by Freddie Wong, who you probably recognize from his ridiculous (and hilarious) Guitar Hero video -- we get a glimpse at the likely ramifications of improper Portal gun training and how a few apathetic "friends" can ruin one of the most exciting experiences ever. And here, all this time, we thought GLaDOS was the bad guy!
Note: For those of you who spot that weird frame at the end of the video -- yep, with all that gibberish -- don't bother to decipher it. It's apparently just another gag from Freddie and "friends." Yuk-yuk-yuk.
You just had to mention the one frame of gibberish, didn't you?
I typed it up and tried it with the usual rot13 decipher and that sort of thing- didn't work. To the person with either more patience or better decryption skills, here's the text:

man, i hope we get to use the portal gun on enemies one day. imagine just sending all enemies into an endless terminal velocity fall and then lettin em eat floor. SPLAT.
There is no terminal velocity when using the portal gun in that fashion because the box drafts itself, reducing drag, allowing it to go faster and faster.
really ? Valve said they are seriously looking into the PS3 ? i'm sorry were talking about people like .. oh jeeze what's that guys name people make fat jokes about ? and how he hates or should i say not gona bother with the PS3 cause... " he's Lazy "
Portal was ok it was funny but got kinda annoying later in the game. i would welcome Portal in open arms but like i said .. it's valve i won't support them cause they won't support my system
Watch Freddie's Bike Hero video, he's goddamn amazing at that shit. More seriously though, this can be done in Sony Vegas 9. All you need is Adobe After Effects.
have you guys notices that when he's shooting the ceiling and the floor, his friends aren't on the computer anymore? ehhe and than all of a sudden they're there again =p
I was too distracted by the overacting and unrealistic reactions or lack there of... A guy gets hit by a box going 300mph and does nothing about it... not even a reaction to it...
