Hehe, nice. So we will be playing with the funny little black guy from the trailers/game logo uh? And he's called Bendy (how clever).

Hah! Someone told me we'd be playing as the stick figure, but I thought he was messing with me!

Hmm. Some of you may not know it but there was some type of cloud monster that was cut from Half Life 2. Cave is sounding a bit sick in this vid. sm

Hmm, chances are any sort of cloud monster would come from Xen. In Bastion, the Portal Turrets were added as an easter egg, and sometimes they'll ask if they're in Xen or not. If it turns out to be canon that Aperture is aware of Xen's existence to the point that they've sent their robots there...

*head explodes*

I assume you're refering to this?

http://half-life.wikia.com/wiki/Particle_Storm

Very curious catch. I think when the next Half-Life does eventually come out (and lets be honest here, all joking aside, it will come out), we'll see a bit more of a cross-over between the Half-Life and Portal storylines than we were expecting.

What I want to know is how in the world Bendy fits into this. Unless Bendy is an AI inside the computer system and the Cave Johnson recordings are just sound files being played inside a digital model of Aperture. If the digital model chambers perform well, Aperture could take them and actually build them.

But wait, what if the Cave recordings aren't recordings. If Bendy is in a computer version of Aperture, maybe Cave [I]did[/] get successfully brain-mapped into a computer but never got put into a robot body so he over-sees digital Aperture and gives the go-ahead to real life Aperture to use the test chambers he likes. But then what happened when GLaDOS took over and dlkwcosajgh

*HEAD EXPLODES*

Actually I expect Chell to be an important character in Episode 3. Though I don't expect much else to show up. sm

Would be pretty cool if they added a character customization thingy where you can make your own test subject, you could choose the face and the way he/she wears the orange Aperture suit (like Chell wore it normally in Portal and had the top part of it tied around her waist in Portal 2)

Lol. Funny how I was watching this video just as I saw this. And I came to that part moments before I read the thread

Rocoty,
One step ahead

Also. I wonder if we will play as the Coop bots or someone else when, if ever, they enable us to create coop maps with this tool.

I am surprised that no one wondered why we are playing as Bendy rather than a character. sm

PS A though occured to me about the "sentient cloud" thing. May this is a sign that while Cave is not as physiclly sick as he was, he might be suffering mental problems? sm

The guy replaced people's blood with gasoline and peanut oil and tried to dehydrate them with a jet engine because being 70% water was "too much". I'd wager he had some pretty serious mental issues to begin with.

My guess would be that Bendy is an actual "person" in one of the infinite other universes which together make up the multiverse.

As for the sentient cloud thing: it's either a fair stab at religion or just a multiverse joke, though I like to think that it's both.
