Video: Valve Updates Portal With New Ending, Still Doing Things Like A Boss
Portal Super-Spoilers are contained within this article and video! Viewer beware!
Valve just updated their PC version of Portal just a few days ago with all types of cryptic messages and images hidden deep within the files of the game. I was expecting for Valve to draw this out more, but those crazy guys and gals in Bellevue went and did something even crazier by updating the game again. This time the changes are a little more obvious with the inclusion of an altered ending to the game! Thankfully a nice user over on YouTube uploaded the new ending for those that don't want to briskly breezing through the relatively short game again or those poor saps that played the 360 version (who are missing out on all the update fun).
While the new ending does not drastically change the events leading up to the game's climatic finale, namely the fate of the perfect date for the HAL 9000, it does manage to answer some questions of the nature behind these updates and give us a moment to ask some more. Whose voice is heard at the end of clip? Where is Chell being dragged away to? I would ask what a "party escort submission position" is, but I think I've seen enough adult entertainment to give me a good idea what that's all about.
Anyways, between the two updates (so far) this week and the new content that we're seeing, I think it's safe to expect to more teasing from Valve and hear some sort of an official announcement regarding the Portal universe in the near future.

This isn't the first time the party escort submission position is referred to, you're asked to assume it once you get past the part where you will be baked.
I always assumed it was laying flat on the ground, which I probably would be after a rather explosive ejection.
Awesome, good show Valve.
Isn't portal part of the half-life universe?
Blackboy: Yes it is. Aperture Science is a rival to Black Mesa and they own the Borealis ship that will presumably be explored in HL Episode 3.
