200? Try 50,000

@edgy hat stereotype nope , the querty keyboard for typewriters was first used in 1874

Well, she technically wakes up in 2020 circa because GLaDOS is still offline and Portal 2 (when GLaDOS returns online) takes place in 2020.

Do you guys know they have typewriters in 1952 right?

Aegis did not wake Chell up as a failsafe actually, it was programmed to wake up whoever was first on the subject list, and Doug Rattmann was the one to assign Chell as the first subject of the list.

@@Weewewoowewoey ah, great point, i always thought rattmann was the one to wake up chell, but this headcanon allows both mel's story to stay in line with the original's

You doubted [everybody liked that]

epic

Well, portal 2 is believed to take place after Half Life [REDACTED], so the Combine is most possibly destroyed, or have left Earth, meaning whatever is up there is probably better than down inside Aperture. Or not, they could still be there.

So it's happening in HL2 time line

@@_GhostMiner Portal and Half-life are in the same universe

It's amazing what fan sometimes create

Hey at the ending inside the aigis see what it says? It tells everything. (Draining reserve power: at portal 2 wheatley said that to you : waking test subject 1: thats chell) at the very end you hear that male voice which is telling chell the basic rules and portal 2 started which is the third game.

Half life 3 confirmed(oh yeah and half life 3 will really come in a pack with portal 3,half life 3 and team fortress 3

The events of Half-Life are long gone when this game and Portal 2 takes place. You have to remember that during Portal 1 the Combine ruled the Earth and at that time Gordon Freeman was also fighting them. Portal 2 starts hundreds of thousands of years into the future according to the announcer in the start that you have been asleep for 9999999. So during Portal Stories: Mel and Portal 2 the Combine have already been beaten for a very long time. This makes even more sense if you read the story of Episode Three.

@@Drakey_Fenix Wrong, Half Life Ep 2 is happening in Portal 2 (The Borealis) and it is not taking place hundreds of thousands of years in the future lol 9999999 is just an error in the AI.

@@magscorch7706Do you have any proof about Half-Life Episode 2 taking place during Portal 2? No. And the Borealis have been in the arctic for a very long time. Before GLaDOS was even invented.

Virgil probably died not long after that, Since Chell woke up after Mel left, and not long after THAT GLaDOS was woken

@@finewine1001 Yes, but that doesn't mean Virgil is dead. He did not contact GLаDOS in any way and did not rebel. So it's unlikely.

read “testing maintenance” on ao3

@@frogkik I've already read this. Like the Blue Sky

Actual, Portal is connected to another game called Half-Life, which involves an invasion and causes most humans to die. So actually, Portal is set in the apocalypse

@@jedigrandmaster6471 I was talking to Name Games btw

You missed the Cooperative Testing Initiative!

Actually the beginning was before BOTH portal games and when Mel woke up is was right before

Yes, they added additional story to help theorists with Aperture Tag and Portal 2.

In Half Life Alyx, you can find a globe depicting the Combine's colonies in Europe and Asia. Turn it around, and you can find that North America's been, blotted out. Something happened in North America between Half Life and Half Life 2, something bad enough for both the Combine and Resistance to abandon it completely. Mel's situation is pretty bleak considering that.

@blue_GAMES официальный канал компании hello my friend:)

@blue_GAMES официальный канал компании im from Turkey and i love russia a lot!

the game is in MICHIGAN. michigan might have changed from a city to a potential country city, and the people from michigan moved in another place. Yes, global warming is taking over, but scientists are fixing and thinking- what can they change to items so they'll not pollute. People are starting to recycle, reuse and others, so they'll not do harm to Earth. But maybe you're right, maybe in a millenia or so, Michigan might look like this.

It's because of the combine from half life 2. It's a connected universe

Yes and we will blame it on Iran and North Korea.

Why haven't the combine raped the hell out of aperture labatories with their citadels yet?

@@SomeRandomHelldiver07 aperature is reallly deep underground and combine is looking for the borealis which is a aperature ship

@@cardboardethymith3893 let's incare the facts Virgil says: When She destroyed Her. Means that when Chell destroyed glados so we can see portal stories mel takes place after portal 1. And it doesn’t happen after portal 2 as glados hasn’t woken up yet.

Why didn’t she press it ;-;

I mean the multiverse does exist in cannon

It would make sense

I'm not so sure. Notice that they exit both different elevators at the end.

...do you think MEL is waiting for her up there or something?

No, this takes place 50000 years later minutes before chell gets woken up for the second time, and the 50000 years is from the final hours of portal 2

well that would be a pain in the ass if it wouldn't use the same engine :D

Basically, with the Combine invasion and all.

Oh,ok

Marcus Myburgh When do you think Portal and Portal 2 takes place?

Portal one probably takes place before the combine arrived in that area because there would be combine everywhere,portal 2 i have absolutely no idea about.

Portal was in same world of Half Life

Yes

Yes

Yep! Wish there were more direct links in the games like when they discover the Borealis in Episode 2. There are some subtle references tho like when GLADOS hints at the combine invasion in Portal 1.

I think Cave Johnson shouting into the recording system about the scumbags over at Black Mesa could confirm this. Also the zero point energy field manipulator being seen in the Aperture science facility in a comic. Also the Borealis from HL2:EP2

kelvin lor yes

Yeah this game is awesome. A perfect free mod

No, it would've been already built because portal 2 starts right after, and we know that it was built by then.

Why would it be in construction

Maarten Kramers Yes, that was their inspiration. They said it in the developer commentary gameplay.

makes sense considering that aperture labs is built on a salt mine turned shower curtain factory that then became a science lab that eventually went bankrupt and became fully self-sufficient to survive impending doom from an alien invasion.

No it takes place right before Portal 2. So that’s about 60050 years after 1952

Jonas Kovamees did the episodes take place after the explosion?

Jonas Kovamees ah. I wasnt very familiar with the episodes after the main game. Alternate time line maybe??

@Tameranian wait what

Whether it's 50 or 50000 years between Portal 1 and 2 doesn't matter that much, but I lean towards 70 years gap looking at how overgrown are parts of facility closer to surface. What important is that it takes place *long* after events of HL2, and Earth would be devoid of most, if not all, humans on the surface. This ending fits really well with main entrance to the facility. Derelict buildings in the background and overgrown forests where you would put a park. Ending of base Portal 2 feels like some side exit far away from main one. I remember intro video about hard light bridges showed that light would be harvested on standard wheat field with small shed in the middle. It could be maintained by some robots or whatever, so unlike some I believe that Both Mel and Chell got out.

@@cola98765 well at least some hint to remnants of combine technology (half destroyed towers, overgrown hunter choppers, decomposed and overgrown corpses of striders and dropships) eh?

@@cola98765 or what about xen flora and fauna?

TheOmniHero If you look at the ending of portal 2 there's no buildings man only wheat and a damaged block.

Half life 3 will come out in a Orange box with portal 3,half life 3 and team fortress 3

@@Zeckmon3 Chell came out in a different place.

No, According to Half-Life Episode Three by Marc Laidlaw the Combine was beaten by Gordon when he sends in the Borealis into their homeworld and blows it up and also sacrifising himself. Portal 2 takes place long after this and Earth and Humanity will have recovered. It might just have been that Aperture Science have been forgotten by everyone and therefor no one have bothered to go and look for the facility after the events of Episode Three.

Even if it was: Mel escapes after PS:Mel and the Portal 2 events happen without major time jumps. So Chell exits the facility only shortly after Mel does (about a week, I guess.) So basically Mel could be walking around the city when the facility explodes and is sucked onto the moon. So it's likely the two have met.

@@Antifuse i think they didnt met becouse they got free from different places. Aperture science is VERY huge and Mel went out from a different emergency elevator meanwhile chell got free from mainchamber where Glados lives(?)

It’s also been stated the machine **COULD** be broken, think of it the machine has been running for awhile it may be glitched out it could be trying to say 99 years or 9 years or something along those lines and it just glitched out or it could just be completely broken and is just spewing random numbers.

And Mel woke Chell up... by shutting down the Aperture Employee Guardian and Intrusion System.

It's almost as much of a monster as chell...... less fat tho...
