Portal mysteriously updated. - KarthXLR - 03-01-2010

Portal
Changed radio transmission frequency to comply with federal and state spectrum management regulations

...I think I'm going to go play through portal again...

Ya, this was curious.  Was hoping to find some answers here.  Post 'em if you got 'em.

A little late....

Find the radio on each level. Bring the radio to the secret point on each map where it gets a signal. Rewarded with morse code or random garbly noise. Morse code translates into cryptic messages. Random garbly noise can be turned into even more cryptic images from Aperture Science.

Edit: Also, Karf is good at being late.

Edit 2: Theorists speculate numbers on the images signify a phone number that does... something. Anybody check that red phone at the end of Portal?

Throw the Green radios into the disintegration wall for some weird sounds and hushed voice.

Magic number is apparently a BBS. When used, GLaDOS asks for a username and password. Sketchy on further details.

Re: Portal mysteriously updated. - backfire - 03-01-2010

Ack, I only found one more. I even went and noclipped through the ending and still couldn't find any. I'm still missing 3.

I hear challenge 18 has 3 of them.

Edit: People are still working on the BBS problem. I hear people are about to try the cjhonson/portal username/password from the Aperture Science website before anybody knew what Portal was.

It does. There's one in the backstage room, one on top of the cage the catcher is in, and one at the bottom of the pit in that last room.

I'm pretty convinced there's only 2 in the escape though.

Re: Portal mysteriously updated. - cbre88x - 03-01-2010

A lot of breakthroughs today about this..did someone say Episode 2 updated as well?

I think we have our Episode 3 announcement folks.

Re: Portal mysteriously updated. - Spore - 03-01-2010

Newest theories point towards something happening March 11th. This is during GDC 2010 which Valve will be attending. Fingers crossed.

My moneys on them calling the release date within three months of the announcement.



Edit

Hell yah.

I can safely say I solved the mystery. But... I can not discuss it with any non-radio-finding-then-bringing-to-interference peasants. Twas a rule.

Re: Portal mysteriously updated. - Spore - 03-02-2010

People apparently found the login information. Lots of junk there, hard to decode.

People are finding things like messages from Cave Johnson.
