Portal Mysteriously Updated With Secret Radio Codes, New Achievement - Portal - Kotaku

Radios throughout the game now pick up Morse code transmissions, with an achievement tied to receiving them all. BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

Portal 2 teaser?

Episode 3 announcement?

More nonsensical Valve trolling?!

Twin Twist growing a mustache (assuming he doesn't already have one, if so, then SHAVING HIS MUSTACHE)?! Time will tell...

 

Sweet ass! Was wondering what I was going to do tonight since I couldn't get on the PS3, and the GF is away.

 

YouTube - Portal "Dinosaur_Fizzle" Noise

 

Would him doing one of those stupid "finger-tache" count?

 

Ah! So this is why people on my friends list were playing Portal again. I was wondering what was up with that.

 

Steam forums link has update with all 26 messages/images. Still ain't seen anybody say why they're labeled "Dinosaur", but then again I've only been skimming.

 

Short recap: Transmission Received: Valve's morse messages - The Something Awful Forums

Something about a modem # and trying to figure out a username/password to access it.

 

Now, I assume by reinstall, you mean: to people who have uninstalled it, reinstall it?

Or, if you have it installed, uninstall it and reinstall?

 

Nobody likes a smarty pants, Spoiler.  

 

I don't own Portal for the PC. DN gift it to me or you're a bad moderator.

 

Pft, this ain't my forum, look at Twisticles if you want hand outs.


The clues all lead to a BBS phone number that requires 80's modem technology. Apparently too many idiots are trying to phone in with modern cell phones and land lines and its clogging things up.

For those that do get through, this is the log in screen that everybody else is stuck at:

Dude. Valve is awesome.

Maybe I should try Half-Life one of these days.

 

One last update before I hit the sack for people who don't feel like sifting through 5 100+ page threads on other boards:

Images from Game
New logon screen
Wait what?
Is that?
IT IS!
3.11=March 11th=Gabe Award at GDC?

 

How does I reinstall console gamez?!

All kidding aside, I played Portal on the 360 Orange Box last year for the first time. Twas excellent so anything new on that front shall be look-ed forward to (sadly I only borrowed the OB so I have no Portal now).

Go for it! I am not a fan of FPSs but after Portal I figured I should give Half-Live 2 a try and was pleasantly surprised. Ended up blowing though HL2, HL2:E1, and HL2:E2 before returning my friends' OB copy. Now I too await HL2:E3!

 

lol

That's what I thought.

 

Hope it's a Portal 2 teaser. That game was too awesome to never do a sequel for.

 

/\For sure. That, or HL2:Episode 3. I played portal again last night and was looking for the signals, I may have missed the first and second levels. I would assume because there is 26 signals, and only 19 levels that there are multiple on some stages?

I have been anxiously waiting for the next episode for HL2. The ending just left me in a big WTF? moment.

 

there are more that 19 stages arent there? i mean once you finish test chamber 19 it goes on...

 

Based on those sound files, I was hoping they were putting Dinosaurs in portal.
I am disappointed.
