Over 3 Hours of Portal Lore 

Welcome Test Subject. This is a compilation of some of my previous videos. I asked in a poll if you'd like it and thought I would give it a go! I do have a huge timeline in the works on a different game that I am hoping to post in the next week or so. Rip and Tear.

Portal, in my opinion, has been one of the best series’ Valve has created, it has comedy and dark tones, a perfect balance.

I’d like to thank you for your selfless brevity at the beginning of the video. No halfbaked quips no sponsors. Don’t want you to feel pressured to never do anything else for an intro but sometimes minimalism is nice!

I dosed off a bit while watching this, woke up to Dark Cave fighting against Cave over the moneyverse. Caught me Sevearly off gaurd

I really like how Doug is the one who says you can always ignore your conscious, but when Chell was being dragged in and he could have left the cube is the one telling him to leave. To ignore his conscious like Glados essentially. He instead still chooses to follow it and save her despite whatever it'd bring to him. Edit: I forgot to actually conclude my statement- I find this interesting because the cube becomes his conscious and guide essentially. So he's both following his actual conscious and disregarding his physical representation of one.

I've played a lot of games, but both of the portal games are still in my top 10 easily. The atmosphere, mysteries, humor and nostalgia for a time I haven't lived in makes me start them up again every couple of years. I think it's awesome that you're still covering these older games as they truly are amazing and it's fun to see all the tiny bits of lore given to us tied together so nicely!

Bloody hell sky I always listen to your lore and tid bits videos on the way to work but it doesn't take 3 hours to get there! You put in so much effort and it shows my man. Can't wait to start this one as soon as I finish today.

Portal and Portal 2 are my all time favorite video games. I've been playing them since I was four. I love the mix of compelling storytelling and intuitive gameplay. 10/10, would recommend

Rattmann's story is sad, yet beautiful. In a way, death would be a merciful fate, but seeing him living on to help chell from the shadows is wonderful. I think rattmann living in constant fear is also sad and upsetting... But, seeing how his morals and psychology works, he seems - in a way, like he isn't completely mad, but an empathetic heart broken man on the inside. His fortitude, his wit, and his growth can be felt through the comics, it gives necessary context, foreshadowing and backstory to the rat dens throughout the two games. All hail rattmann

Waited for this exact video from you, specifically, for the last [REDACTED] years. Thanks Skyrionn Sidenote : have you considered doing a Hades (the video game) lore ? I think there's a lot to explore.

I love that half life and ports are set in the same universe. Didn’t realize until the credits song in the original game lol

11:15 fun fact, this scene is the ONLY SCENE where a portal CAN EXIST on a moving surface. Literally anywhere else, a portal can not form/exist on moving surfaces!

This is going to get me through half the workday today and several more times in the future. Thank you so much!

how many times you can tell the same 10 min story in a video? Skyrionn: YES

Portal 2 is the first game my parents ever bought me and will forever hold a special place for it in my heart. It has not only nostalgic value but has overall formed my sense of humor and set the standarts of games i would later go on and play. Truly a masterpiece a will never forget.

Everytime i fall asleep watching youtube it doesnt matter if its a movie, a documentary, gameplay, etc. i always wake up and this video is playing. Fr this loop is crazy, its even getting deppresing

The portal series is one of if not my favorite video game series EVER! I am soo happy to be able to play this game. And with Skyrionn, the portal lore is more clear than ever. Thank you skyrionn ❤

This is a big boy! Now we’re thinking with portals. Thanks John.

I want you to know that i had previously quit playing portal when i was younger and then forgot about it, but then recently after finding your content, and watching that whole masterpiece of the halflife/portal timeline, you reinspired me to finish portal games, and even try the half life games. And i have to say after finishing most of the half life and portal games (still have to do hl2 ep2) it was the greatest experience in gaming of my life, especially with your lore videos in the background. I dont think i would have given either a second thought to those games if not for your videos, as i am a wee child of 18 years, and so half life 1 was before my time, and half life 2 was released 1 month before my birth. So all that to say thank you for rekindling my love for story games, and opening my view on such games 😊. (Also of the games i rate HL1 9/10, HL2 (base, ep1) 11/10, portal 1 9/10, and portal 2 10/10)

I absolutely love this compilation so much. There's so many interesting aspects of Portal lore and the in-world history. Minor criticism tho: it would help to add more sentence variation. Most sentences seem to follow the "verbing the noun, there was an effect on the subject" style. Thank you so much for compiling all these lore videos 💖

I remember being fascinated with portal as a kid, it was what really got me into video game mysteries and Easter eggs, I'd devour any rat man lore I could! I loooove long talky videos like this :D

One more video before bed. The video:

This is awesome, thank you so much! I've been refining my sleepy playlists, so this came at the perfect time!

These videos are amazing. You have an awesome voice, and I regularly fall asleep to them. Thank you.

I have already seen all these before but there is nothing else on youtube to watch, thanks for making this so I don't die of boredom :)

Thank you very much! this has become my series during my nights, so detailed, so much information, it will take me a few days to assimilate it all!

3 hours of sheer pleasure ! Portal is by far one of the best, most revolutionary and interesting series of games Valve ever created ! On par with Half-Life and it's even more impressive when you consider the fact that both take place in the same universe.

Amazing vid! There is so much more Portal story out there than I ever realised 😂

Yay 3 hours of my favourite thing :D Gonna watch this 20 times while I finish Christmas cards I gotta draw

you're insane dude! you solely got me into half life lore and now portal! haha, you're awesome. keep it up man

This was really good, thank you 💯👌🏻

I’ve seen your channel yesterday, fell asleep to your video (that’s a good thing) and today I see this. Your voice is awesome. Good night!

The perfect holiday gift. Thanks!

Skyrionn does it again! Thanks for the content, creator!

This compilation video is amazing, it actually works so well as background story audio for falling asleep

Thanks Pat. Any updates from you are sure to be golden.

Yo can I jut say that your videos are awesome, I put them on once while I went to bed and I have never slept faster; it’s probably something about your voice or the music but it just sounds very peaceful/comforting

Alternate title: "Almost 4 Hours of Portal Lore"

I was watching YT videos and fell asleep and woke up to this and actually rewatch the whole thing lol

last night I was binging your portal lore and this was EXACTLY what I wanted, crazy

Aweosome, kinda surprised you didn't incluide the video about Borealis.

This video always has finished when i wake up in the morning even if i didn't play it that night. It just turns on by morning and its always the last thing my phone plays before going into sleep mode.

your voice is very relaxing to listen to, thanks for the vid, this is a good listen either as white noise in the background as you work on something or a video to sleep to

Omg i'm at work but i need to watch this at night.. nice man! I wish you would do some starcraft lore aswell :D

This is great. Listening to long compilations of portal lore. Thank You!

Awesome! Thanks for the compilation!

Absolute gold content my friend

I put this on to fall asleep to but ended up being too interested in it. I had a surface level understanding of the lore but theres so much more than i thought. I dont play too many of the games you cover but its so interesting I enjoy your content anyway. ❤

Awesome! Thank you!!! Lol I've watched all these sepperate and now wooo hooo now marathoning again!

ah yes, best type of content i can find. 4h on a topic i didn't even know i was interested in

I can't believe that people still make videos on this game. I personally love it because this is one of my favorite games.

This is probably the most I’ve ever been invested in a video, even though I’ve never played portal

well this is perfect to watch at middle of night

2 minutes to midday, and i finally finished the video!

Thanks for no intros and no outtros. You didnt take the easy route and i appreciate that

This is exactly what I needed rn

Oh wow! I might have to listen to this at work tonight!

It's like all my namedays have come at once! Thank you, Sykrionn, this is Christmas.

Miss ya brother. Time to strap in and watch this in one go.

Who needs sleep when you have an hours-long video delving into the lore of fictional events, right? In all seriousness, tho, this is an amazing video, and I’m definitely making it my choice of downtime entertainment over the course of the next few days

You're the best bro ever. Just a teeny little thing, caves mind was uploaded and put into a metal skull in his office

I have to work 4 hours today to get paid for vacation time tomorrow how perfect

Love the lore videos keep it up !

This video is amazing to watch in the background while doing something else due to how long it is, im at 2:29:58 right now, amazing coverage of portal 👍

I just got the Portal games for Switch and I'm already halfway through the potato arc in 2. These games are so good. I absolutely love GLaDOS and Wheatley. GLaDOS is easily in my top 3 video game villains, and probably for villains of all media honestly. The writing is amazing, the gameplay and puzzles are great though it can be a bit frustrating at times, and the lore of the series, especially with its links to the Half Life series, is so interesting. Also I have to say that one of my favorite parts of the Portal games are the turrets and their dialogue. They're so adorable, even when they're trying to kill me.

apparently the ending to portal 1 was supposed to show that glados had backup cores, its why the cores are all orange and why she sings about still being alive

I’m just trying to find a video to fall asleep to and now I’m watching 3 hours of lore about a game I’ve never played

I'd like to credit you and Alfabusa's Viscosity Zero series for getting me into the Half-Life/Portal universe. Solid lore vids, man.

Ayo im hyped imma watch it tomorrow

I appreciate how you kept your composure while saying “fatty fatty no parents”

I listen to these videos while playing portal 1 and 2 and gmod. This video is perfect for that

omg im so looking forward to watching this

All other podcasts are getting shoved to the side for today. The king has arrived.

I love portal so much thank you for the new content!!!!!

This videos incredible man

This autoplayed in my sleep. Now i might watch it

i was trying to get some sleep for christmas but this popped up. i guess there will be no santa this year

I like how the speaker strictly separates the topics and sticks to them instead of mixing them together. Should maybe do the same lore thing about real life, about lies and corruption, about fakery in history.

@Skyrionn are you gonna make a vid on ‘Portal Revolution’ when the mod releases? I think it would be awesome

Holy shit the most perfect timing

I have played these games so many times and so far they have not gotten boring i could play these games forever

Hearing you say "Aperture Science" is my daily therapy to depression now. The pronunciation is just perfection

Thank you my friend

i sometimes fall asleep with this video in the background :)

Great video!

3:14:15 I was just listening to this in the background, but this part had me dying for some reason. That is the most comical scheme I have ever heard of.

The funny thing is that this video is probably longer than most peoples first playtrough of Portal 1.

The only portal thing with number 3

I'm going to sleep so good tonight

Ah perfect, just in time for bed! :D

"no intros, no outros, just lore" he says, in the intro, and proceeds to introduce wheatley

I fell asleep watching your video and its been 3ours

Dude dude dude. This video has been shoved on me by RU-vid 7 times and I've watched it in full 3 times when I sleep. Love it but my gosh dude RU-vid really wants me to watch this video

Love that Del Rio snuck in here. After Halo 4 he did become the ultimate Master Chief hater so it makes sense lol.

I was hoping to hear about rocket turrets in the turrets section but either way this video is great!

Finally some good fucken food

as a pprtal fan since i was young i apreciate this

This is 100% going into my sleep playlist 🎉

After watching the combined lore video for Half Life and Portal. As someone who has only played the portal series. This video is like exactly what I want. I do have an appreciation for Half Life as a universe tho.

Bro just dropped a 4 hour video. Chad
