    I got bored and threw together a collage of the timeline from the old Aperture Science viral website. (I couldn't find a text version of it for easy reading.. if anyone knows of one, feel free to point me towards it. :P)

    I would be shocked beyond belief if that was in any way, shape, or form official. No way Valve's using a .us address.

    ....Probably a fan site? It's registered to a guy in Norway -- email indicates his website's http://bjarte.info and it looks pretty obviously like a personal site. (Though he's obviously a Portal fan, his desktops are all named Aperture something or other.)

    You know, on road trips at night, I used to recommend putting on the old HL soundtrack because it was unnerving and eerie as hell

    It really does sound like a lower pitched, slowed down voice overs of the Combine Overwatch:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6pZkmCPwlI

    I think that in either Portal 2 or Episode 3 they'll somehow tie together that the Combine Overwatch actually is a AI based on the AI technology from Aperture Science. Or you know, vice versa.

    EDIT: ah yeah, he just "found" the sound file. That screams fake. :(

    I'm pretty sure someone just grabbed the sample from HL2, added some distortion and slowdown and then threw it out there claiming it to be a new cleaned up sound file.

    You really think so? Valve's comedy writing has been unbelievably strong since the orange box (I'm including their official blogs in this, and other ancillary material created for promotional purposes). I guess it depends on how well the non-sequeters work outside the game.

    That was one of the theories, but really, we have no way of knowing if she was an employee, an employee's child, some random person off the street, or an android made in the facility.

    Given the persistent mother/daughter analogies in the interactions between Chell and Glados (Okay, one-way interactions, for the most part, except that last one), I wonder if the Cave/(Chell?) relationship is going to be a more father/daughter one?

    Which does raise the question: What if that's also the reality?

    Another thought: The previous escapee who wrote all the messages behind the walls - how did s/he get Cave Johnson's login details? Or what if the c in cjohnson *isn't* Cave?
