I apologize for the popping at points during this. Something was a little off with this recording. 6:30 also genuinely didn't know the answer to this. I now know it's the sphinx's riddle.
the answer is man. the "day evening and night" thing are all based on life. in the start (day) you crawl like a baby. in the middle (evening) you walk around on 2 legs. when you're old (night) you need a cane to walk so 3 legs
The answer is man, the morning is being a baby thus four legs=crawling Noon is adolescence-adulthood, so 2 legs = walking And evening is being old, so 3 legs = walking with a cane.
@@aspookyspookcrab6253 Damn I feel so uncultured now, always had it told to me as: Waking up in bed means lying down, therefore four legs (arms counted here), then during the day you walk on two legs, and the reason it ain't women come nighttime is because this riddle is always told by sleazy 40-somethings at family gatherings.
@@abneto2707 That’s one interpretation, mine is that he died & his anger proceeded to form some kind of entity composed of pure rage for the test subject
Thank you everyone for the very kind words on this map! This map was made after a year or so hiatus from HL2 and was a blast to create! The textures at the end were made by my girlfriend and all the voices were done by me on my awful turtle beach headset. The answer to the riddle at 6:30 is 'man' but I think the riddle is kind of stupid. There IS an alternate ending if you go through the exit when it opens, Jornad will calmly and politely thank you for your participation and not get his pay cut in half for the next 1,000,000,000,000 years. Seriously though, it felt great reading all these comments, glad everyone enjoyed!
Moral of the story: If you ruin a man's job and halve his paycheck, he'll become a chaos god in a trillion years (plus twenty, oops) hell-bent on making you suffer. Very on-the-nose life lesson, but hey, it gets the point across.
Love how the dude did a full one SIKE at the end. Funny part is that when Jolly stated the obvious I agreed with him and was thinking what type of traps he will use next, but then that happened.
Wait he could've saved his job by sending the test subject back in time.... he'll he could've saved the resistance in the base... but no he had to have his revenge...
@@Glasyara and?.. Either way everything there looks like a mockup. No room can be intact after that many years (or even tiny fraction like a few thousand)
every time jolly goes through the time machine, jornad gets his pay halved, then over the next 5 years he slowly gets respect back and gets full pay. then jolly comes back, goes back through the time machine, and halves his pay again.
The game design in this is kinda amazing. Using the same map and path multiple times over while increasing difficulty, creating new surprises and telling a story with the enviroment.
well, it’s part of maplab’s back on track, where the entire point is to backtrack through a path you’ve already been on. this one was one of the better executed ones
So...by the year 1 Trillion, he's ascended to some kind of baneful GOD, all for the purpose of maintaining a space nigh identical (as far as his decayed mind can construct) to lure you in so he can enact his revenge for the rest of conceivable reality. You really, REALLY shouldn't have gotten him that pay cut, Jolly.
i kind of feel bad for that guy, he just fucked up one time, had his career ruined, and developed something wrong in the brain cavity, all after he was genuinely positive and nice, i feel bad for him.
What's weird is that he is *scolded* for being nice. That means his supervisor was actually *right* in saying that Jonrad should yell at the test subject. It would have worked out better for everyone. What a mind fuck
Imagine being a Combine guard 2 weeks from retirement, you go to some old ass facility nobody’s been in for years, then some idiot with a gravity gun runs in and sends a cinderblock through your cranium.
Jolly: Being a productive member of society *One a half minute passes* Jolly: immediately answers a question with I don't know without even laying an eye to the question
That was a good fucking mod. Despite it being a backwards-ass solution 17:45 is unironically a 900 IQ move. I can confidently say that I'm proud of you.
@@toveychurchill6468 getting colonised is not the result of british people being angry with you, getting colonised is the result of british people thinking they are better than everyone and can do whatever they want and then making everything a lot lot worse.
Can we please take a moment to appreciate Jolly's editing? It's great that he always adds subtitles, and goes the extra mile to move them with the camera when a specific character is speaking. Thank you, Jolly for making our lives more entertaining
I know it’s probably something simple like you dying or just getting a white text screen, but I must wonder what happens if you walk through the exit at the beginning.
I wanna know too. I was hoping Jolly would try that at the end just to see what happens. Then again, it does encourage people to try it out to see for themselves despite seeing a video on it.
Hey Jolly, I know it's some effort for you to put all the subtitles and stuff, but lemme say that I really appreciate you doing that, because when I watched the stream I could barely hear the dude's voice, so I missed on the beautiful story of Gonad and Ass-slapper. Also, I noticed how you left so many platforming failures on the video..... and there were so many more :D PS: lov u jolly
Every time Jolly doubts himself with puzzles, I remember the time he solved a puzzle in a way nobody in their right mind would've even considered. But it still worked out perfectly. Which one I'm talking about? I leave that to the audience to discuss.
I just love how Jolly immediately pressed the *"I don't know"* button. Worth lol Finally a puzzle that motivated you to do better xD 4:50 That genuine terror from the test guy lol That went from funny to kinda scary at the end, wow
7:00 Morning means being a baby, noon means being an adult and evening means being eldery. When being a baby, you walk in four legs, when being an adult, you walk in two legs and when being eldery, you walk in two legs + a walking stick
Yes, that was, in my opinion, obvious. What made such puzzle as a "headscratcher" - was that both "Man", and "Woman" might be considered correct answers. Hence, I suspect, that the same thing would have happened, regardless of the answer picked.
I had my doubts about Jolly being a psychopath, but now it's confirmed because *he did not ignite a single enemy with the flammable canisters using the gravity gun,* which is something a sane HalfLife player would never do
Moral of the story: if you mess with a man's salary, chances are he'll become an eternal being of spite persisting for trillions of years dead-set on killing you
"Putting me down generally fills me with spite and rage, which actually makes me far better at my job" I started an entire successful business in one of the most difficult industries in the world, and I 95% attribute my ability to do so on the fact I was constantly told it was pointless and I'd fail. The spite fueled motivation engine is real.
@@apl6171 I owned a music studio. Mostly did production, but some engineering too. Calling it an oversaturated industry is putting it very, very mildly, so it's incredibly difficult to get on your feet, especially when you have a commercial space to pay for.
I was really expecting him to go forward enough in the time machine he finally encountered the dude and it's just a skeleton surrounded by empty bags of doritos.
I wonder what jolly felt when editing when he realized he could've just gone out the exit the first time and continue being a upstanding member of society.
jolly i just wanna say thanks for making these videos. they're hilarious and can lift up basically most peoples moods. thank you for being here and creating content for us to enjoy.
Just WOW to the person that did this, it 100% keeps the spirit of portal, that's amazing. I don't care about the "ugh the voice sounds like sht" shut up that guy probably did it all by himself with zero budget. That guy deserves all the praise we can give him.
I think the answer to the second question is supposed to be "man". "Morning" = 4 legs = baby (crawling) "Noon" = 2 legs = adult "Evening" = 3 legs = old man with a cane. I've seen that one somewhere before, but I forgot where.
@@chameon378 I think originally the riddle was referring to "man" as in "mankind", not as an individual. But other than that you're absolutely correct.
@@breakingyourlegs yeah, probably, my quibble is when you present multiple choices like this, less so that it technically has multiple answers. Technically you could answer man, woman, humans, sapient apes, homo sapiens sapiens and you'd be fine, my issue is with the clear notation of a singular right answer, and multiple wrong answers, when two of the answers were right. As the lab was broken, it was rendered irrelevant anyway, qnd they're trying to channel the snitty, not-quite Jigsaw testing of Glados, so a deathtrap for being a feminist or whatever excuse they want for setting mines on a technically correct answer is fine, I just was laughing that woman TECHNICALLY works.
