    man I missed 3 radios

    are there many after you escape the test chambers? I found the one in the fire, and maybe 1 more, but that's it

    Why do people keep including stupid chats with their friends in the BBS images? Are they under the impression anyone cares? Lazy bastards in such a hurry to post things...

    They're noticeably clipping the top, and other sections rather than posting the whole screen. I don't see why they dont also clip the side to get of the damn chat box.

    Nah

    There's streams on Ustream with thousands of viewers

    The number doesn't have a lot to do with technical difficulties

    Not yet. ILOVEBEES had me not sleeping. It had people answering payphones in the middle of Alaska. And it had a radio play with a plot that rivaled a high-production-value tv miniseries.

    This is getting close, though. It's certainly the best ARG since.

    By the way, how long does it take to get the Terminal Velocity achievement? All you have to do is just create an endless portal loop you fall through, right?

    I started a new game a couple of hours ago, after I got the new patch. Radios are still there.

    Not true. I started a new game right after the update hit and I saw the radios. I only checked the very first one for signal, though.

    I googled protocol 602 and aside from some TCP/IP pages, I found that in Pennsylvania, protocol 602 is the treatment for victims involved in a explosion of some sort (terrorist or industrial explosion, something goes boom). Specifically, its followed for when a victim is suffering from

    c. Tertiary blast injuries (from patient falling or being thrown by blast or pinned by debris)

    2. If multisystem trauma – see Protocol # 602

    Most likely has nothing to do with portal but considering the ending, this would be the sort of injury that Chell would be suffering from.

    mmm. Maybe but remember...there is more then enough evidence to prove that portal is occuring in the HL2 world, in a post-7 day war setting. In case you dont accept this comment at face value here are my reasoning:

    1) During your final fight with Glados she talks about how you dont know what its like up there. This suggests to me that Chells been in suspension of some kind (I would expect that Glados has several subjects on ice somewhere).
    2) The Boreallas has the apature logo
    3) The slide show you can see through a window in portal makes references to black mesa.

    Also, consider this quirky idea. Sure chell may have suffered that trama. But so did glados.

    My point being that I doubt standard protocal numbers would be used in a world that has little civillian communication and / or medical facilities.

    Playing with my red herring because after seeing video of the new ending, Protocol 602 seems to be to response if a robot came up and found an explosion and found Chell lying on the ground.

    I started a new game after downloading it and the radios' lights are black.

    Well fuck.

    About to kill GlaDOS when I quit due to WoW raid.. missed 2 radios, and just learned of one in this thread (the rest I found without help). So... yeah. Fuckmonkeys.

    I just started a new game and the radio in Chell's bedroom does not have a green or red light. The "transmission received" achievement is still there.
