Portal - Meet The Cores 1

(Crickets and birds of the night) (Neil Armstrong off-screen) "That's one small step for man..." "One..." "Giant leap for mankind." (Team Fortress 2-like intro) ("Still Alive" whistling) Wheately: "Aw, Mister Hughes, you're looking great if I may say so myself..." "Not a day over fifty!" "Ugh..." "I don't know why they put me in charge of all the bloody humans!" "Thirty thousand." "Thirty," "thousand humans that can't stay alive of their own accord!" "It's madness!" *Viscous snarling* (Adventure Core Voicing classic bomb-spy style theme) (Bomb-spy style theme fades in and out) (Bomb-spy style theme fades in and out again) Turret Core: "Where are my guns?" "Where are my LEGS!?" "HEEELP!!!" Ego Core: "Some people say that I have an ego." "That I'm a nepotistic, self-indulgent and overly-narcissistic core." "They're all just jealous of my perfection!" Off-screen interviewer: "Are you an important core?" Ego Core: "Hah!" "As if you'd have to ask THAT!" "Of course I'm important!" "I'm the most damn important core here!" "Why..." "Without me," "This place wouldn't function at ALL!" "I mean really, have you seen the other cores here?" "They're all useless!" "None of them hold a candle to me!" Off-screen interviewer: "What do you do here?" Ego Core: "W-What do I do?" "Ummm... well..." "I..." "Uhhh... I-I..." "Ohh, it..." "It's difficult to explain, um..." Wheatley: "So, what is it about space that fascinates you so much?" Space Core: "Guess, guess-guess-guess!" Wheatley: "Uuummm..." Space Core: "SPACE!!!" (The sound of water, but underwater) (The sound of water, but above water) rusty old core: "They call me Rusty." [Well alright then, Captain Jack.] Rusty: "Now, heh... I may look like a useless piece of junk," "But I tell ya..." "I function just fine." [They stole my bit here so I guess I'll just see you out of the pools then.] Ego Core: "I suppo- Uh! Hmmm..." Off-screen interviewer:"Sooo-" Ego Core: "DON'T RUSH ME!!!" Core: "I'm not actually sure what I was built for." "I've spent my entire existence calculating, trying to discover my real purpose." "Other cores made fun of me, told me I was a mistake!" "A product of mechanical failure." "But you know what?" "I've recently made a breakthrough!" "I think, I was built for being the one who undergoes a soul searching quest to discover my true meaning in life and why is the video still paused?" "BURNS BURNS BURNS BURNS BURNS BURNS, IT BURNS, IT BURNS, IT BURNS!!!" (Insert witty Viva Reverie reference here) "AAAAAHH!!!" "STOP! STOP!!!" "AAAAAHHH!!!" "OH GOD! OH GOD!!!" "AAAAAHHH-AHH-AHH-AHH-AHH-AAAHHHHHHHHHHH--!!!!" We are experiencing some technical difficulties, please standby. (Team Fortess 2-like outro.) (Fire extinguisher hissing from use) (ZAP!) "It's okay... it's okay." "I'm feeling much better." (BOOM!!!) (Team Fortess 2 Main Theme 'Portalized')

amazingly done considering not a single person from valve was involved.

I have to say, I'm not sure anyone can really do Wheatley except Stephen Merchant.

Edit: I accidentally a word.

175: I OWN A SIGNIFICANTLY LARGER AMOUNT OF HATS THAN YOU.

I put captals because that is how it comes up on the screen at 3:16.

Thank you.

[u/StuffPlus]

Great work, loved it!

[u/Explogan]

Urgh that's frustratingly close to being good. All they need to do is re-voice the whole thing. The video side of it is awesome though.

[u/Luhmanniac]

My god, this is awesome!

Applaud this man!

[u/[deleted]]

It's awesome, and I enjoyed it greatly, but something was missing. The voice actors were all great, but I think the issue was that it lacked organization. One time you're looking at Wheatly, but it just flashed to the core which was in android hell (nice touch by the way), then to some other core, it felt disorganized.

I loved it, but with some more work it could become outstanding.

i laughed so hard when they showed the skeleton at :58

[u/agentup]

I liked it but was it suppose to be that dark? and by dark I mean disturbing amount of isolation and no sense of purpose for the cores? They all seem to be an existential android hell
