Ingame store, hats, gestures, flags, skin for coop. Like he said, nothing useful, only cosmetic things.

In regards to the whole Caroline thing, this is how I see it.

Caroline is just another personality core. It is also where 'GlaDOS' began, and arguably the first personality core Aperture made. However, GlaDOS as a whole is not just one personality core. She is multiple cores and hooked up to the entire Aperture facility, and all of this things contribute to who she is.

When the main GlaDOS core is removed, which is Caroline, she is a solo core. Like all the other cores that waffle to themselves, this gave her a chance to realise the root of her core without influence. Not only does she usually have multiple other cores communicating with her, but simply being hooked up to Aperture influences her too. She mentions both of these things, as well as notes how Wheatley's new found desire to test is a result of being hooked up to the facility.

GlaDOS began with Caroline but, as a whole and as we best know her, is a being composed of multiple cores and personalities that come together to make 'GlaDOS'. Potato GlaDOS was essentially the Caroline core, which is also the basis for GlaDOS. Main GlaDOS is Caroline plus a whole coctail of other crap.

Yeah, that's quite logical, EC. However, I think her main core, in the potato, has since merged with other programs and subroutines cores as well, she's not pure caroline.

I do think her main core is more of a mesh of aspects. Clearly Caroline is somethings she can delete without the need of more personality cores attached. It's also been semi dormant for a time.
GlaDOS is probably the sum total of certain programming, and personalities.

Awesome game ! The ending song is not Still Alive, but it gave me the same goosebumbs !

(And it ain't over until the fat turret sings)

The only downside to portal 2 was the lack of element of suprise. Personally i liked the Portal 2 ending more then Still Alive

I hate that the ending videos were leaked before the game was released. I hate that

I only watched a few seconds of the beginning of each one, I was skeptical because they were cutscenes but didn't want to watch them in case they were real. It's still ridiculous though.

Finished it finally, I wish they would do everything in game I don't like that it didn't hide the fact it was jumping into a pre rendered cut scene. Also the ending song was a bit lame compared to still alive, I thought they would try to top it. The thing I love most about Portal 2 is seeing older versions of the facility. It always impresses me with the details they put in that showed how the place progressed. I wish there was more of that since I prefer exploring to actually doing the test chambers. Stephen Merchant was excellent in it as was the male announcer at the start of the game. Got a bit tired of glados when she isn't insulting you!

I agree. I just hope we don't get any CGI movies in the HL series..

Just got all the achievements for the singleplayer. Had a few runthough through the levels again. I love this game.
Started last week on the Coop with a friend. It turned out to be more fun then i thought

They got rid of the insulting Glados, test players like it to carry around an insulting ******.
