Presently undiscovered easter egg in portal! (spoilers)
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!
Could we with ink the ocean fill, and were the skies of parchment made
Were every stalk on earth a quill, and every man a scribe by trade
To write the love of God above, would drain the ocean dry
Nor could the scroll contain the whole, though stretched from sky to sky!

You actually thought you were the first to find this? :wtf:

 
Re: Presently undiscovered easter egg in portal! (spoilers)
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.
Interestingly enough, this signature is none of the following:
A witty remark on whatever sad state of affairs the world may or may not be in
A series of localized forum in-jokes
A clever and self-referential comment on the nature of signatures themselves.

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