Shadowman wrote:Part of her body exploded. Everything you see in Portal 2 never went to the surface. You notice how bits of the environment are still there, like the incinerator, and that little alcove that housed the button to activate the incinerator? Only they're missing small, unimportant bits? Same thing. Plus, the head you see on the ground outside and the head you see in Portal 2 are notable different design.

shows that she did explode.this part of Still Alive wrote:And tore me to pieces. You threw every piece in-to a fire....
Shadowman wrote:Also, here's a detail you missed, which was a major plot point in Portal 2: The main body isn't related to the continuing operation of the AI itself, it only connects the AI to the facility. As shown when GLaDOS was decapitated partway through Portal 2, only to continue functioning for some time, including having her AI reinserted into a potato.

I never said she was dead. In fact, if we are on this topic, I might point out thatshows that she did explode.this part of Still Alive wrote:And tore me to pieces. You threw every piece in-to a fire....
#Sideways# wrote:This only proves my point. This would mean that once they believed that GlaDOS was functional (As seen in the Lab Rat comic) Cave Johnson would be pushing his engineers to mass produce it, as Aperture was suffering financially.
#Sideways# wrote:All they would have to do is "CTRL + A, CTRL + C, CTRL + V" and you have another GlaDOS. If they wanted to create a V2, only then would things take a longer time for the programs to be written and compiled. (I know because I have programmed Java before.)

Shadowman wrote:The "pieces" were the cores. You literally tear them off and throw them into a fire. I'm starting to think you never even played Portal...
You're taking a bit of a leap here... Bigger leaps than I.Shadowman wrote:Now I want you to think really hard about this: They never showed her exploding, only small flaming pieces, pieces, mind you, that are shown to be missing when you revisit the chamber in Portal 2. Only you said that. There is no plothole or retcon here, just you making things up because it doesn't work otherwise.

Shadowman wrote:Also, here's a fun fact: The Borealis was a mass teleportation experiment conducted and abandoned in 1970s, several decades before they started on GLaDOS, several decades before Cave even got the idea of transferring a human mind into a computer.
Possibly the page you are referring to wrote:While the Borealis was apparently located in an area of the Enrichment Center built in the 1970s, the ship's blueprints feature GLaDOS' name where the corporation's owner would sign, as well as the modern Aperture Laboratories logo.

You might have your facts wrong on this one:Possibly the page you are referring to wrote:While the Borealis was apparently located in an area of the Enrichment Center built in the 1970s, the ship's blueprints feature GLaDOS' name where the corporation's owner would sign, as well as the modern Aperture Laboratories logo.
It also states that Cave might have been using the name for something he may use later on. It is also unknown the time it took for Aperture to design and produce GlaDOS. Either way, it would be odd for Cave to have put a pure conceptual design on what is a very important project if one wants to take credit for it.

Shadowman wrote:Just because you really like your theory, doesn't make it even slightly correct, especially since it relies mostly on a retcon that never happened.
Shadowman wrote:That proves most of her was still in inside the facility.
Shadowman wrote:No, actually, not all programs can be converted into text. Especially programs that require audio and visuals in order to operate, and those can't simply be converted into text. Take a look inside the game's files, and you'll see what I mean.
Shadowman wrote:First off, I wasn't referring to a page, I was referring to the actual drydock in Portal 2.
Second, the drydock is in the 1970s section of Old Aperture. And yes, he was using the name for something else; GLaDOS as a name was used as early as 1982, while the actual AI program wasn't started until '86. It was also supposed to be used as a system for deicing fuel lines in an icebreaker ship.
