Aperture Science buys out Black Mesa

[42]

Bear with me on this.

I've always assumed the Aperture Science Facebook page was just a page some fan had created but then they posted this:

Which leads to this:

That's clearly Cave Johnson, so what do you think? Also, the Portal 2 dlc was released today. Possibly a follow up to that.

I told Facebook a month or so ago that I work for Aperture Science, and this makes my day.

There, that should keep the fanboys satiated for another 5 years...

Any realistic shred of credibility this may have had in my mind disappeared when the Blappeture link showed Gabe Newell's face near the end of the audioclip.

Still, 'twould be neat if it was true.

I think it ties into Portal 2's "Perpetual Testing Initiative". It sounds like the user-made tests send test subjects to a parallel universe, so it wouldn't be surprising if Cave somehow managed to buy Black Mesa in one of those parallel instances. It's awesome to have more Cave quotes to brandish, though!

The voice clip is actually found in the new DLC. Apparently this is almost certainly fake.

Speaking of new DLC, Portal 2 is $6.79 on Steam this weekend due to said DLC. It's $8.49 for both Portal games on Steam.

How do you get the new DLC? Is it free?

[Kenogu Labz]

Yes. It's the built-in level editor, along with Steam Workshop connectivity for simple publishing and playing.

Actually, I published my first (pretty easy) test chamber (Dual Purpose) just a few minutes ago.

I couldn't believe how many tries it took to keep my buttons from fizzling my cubes.
