Title: Presently undiscovered easter egg in portal! (spoilers)
Post by: G0atmaster on November 03, 2007, 09:40:11 pm

As far as I can tell, no one really knows about this yet.  OK, in the test chamber where you get your Weighted Companion Cube ^TM, there's a section of wall before you get to where you incinerate your companion cube, which is just barely pushed out, so you can see inside, but can't walk into it.  Create a portal inside of this area, and in any wall near you to get inside.  In there you'll find all kinds of creepy and disturbing pictures of women with pictures of companion cubes covering their faces.  Anyway, at the bottom of this little odd thing is scrawled:

 "Username: cjohnson
  Password: tier3"

So I got an idea.  I went to the Portal viral marketing website, www.aperturescience.com, and used that login info.  I read a very interesting story.

Enjoy!

Well, see, today I did a google search on portal and easter eggs, and HL2 Episode 2 as well, and all I found was the stupid lawn gnome achievement in EP2, and something about the TV show Lost.  So I thought I'd go on a hunt, and I found this.

It, like all of the other "secret" rooms, were meant for the player to find. I applaud your enthusiasm though.

Does anyone else notice that the text on that Java applet is ridiculously hard to read?
