HAVE YOU SEEN THIS MAN IN YOUR DREAMS ?

wheatley is having a moment

[ID: an mspaint drawing of wheatley from portal 2. he is sitting on the floor of a white-paneled chamber. he is deflated like a beach ball and crying, a pool of tears coming from his optic and collecting around him. above him in black impact text is "UUAAGGUHUHGHHGAUAGHHUGUHG *SNNFFF* AUWAUGUHUUHUHUHUGA" and below him is "AUUGUUHHHHHGAGUUHHGG UAUUHG", both in all caps. end ID]

Happy birthday to Portal 2, the game that altered my brain chemistry forever 👍

A teď to na mě vyjelo! Zrovna když jsem dneska odpoledne dočetla "the Final Hours". Stojí za to si to prečíst fakt, skvělej inside developingu celý hry. Detaily jako tyto, dělaj Portal spešl. Každopádně paní Prellová je neskutečněj machr s to pracovat na videohře byla její premiéra!

one thing i love about portal 2 is the distinct difference in physicality between wheatley and glados. in the core transfer scene, glados, as she does, moves fluently, smoothly; seductively is a good word to describe it. you know how she is. then after wheatley takes over, despite using the same body, noticeably shifts from "I suggest you take a deep breath. And hold it." to "HARR HARR HARR I'M BLOODY FOCKEN MASSIVE INNIT" and i just love that so much. glados smoothly rotates around like a serpent and wheatley starts spinning circles and bouncing up and down it's just great

i had NO idea! credit where it is ABSOLUTELY due, i didn't even mention Wheatley's facial animation as well but it is beautifully done. all he has is a rotating eye, eyelids, a pupil that can expand or contract and some little handles at the top and bottom of his face, but his animation is still impressively emotive. it's really half of the charm of his dialogue honestly, puppeteering is already such a cool skill and it's even more impressive to do it digitally on this little fuck

ADDITIONAL addition: @meow-moment you're a PART of this post now you are FUCKING Correct

[ID: Reblog from @meow-moment that reads "i love in the scene where he tells you you have "a very minor case of serious brain damage" when his eye pops out a little and his handles flare out and it somehow looks like he's adjusting his glasses nervously]

there are a good few additions to this post I'd love to add to it but this one is like. NECESSARY. that is PRECISELY what that conveys and it's fucking magic how well it works. hats OFF karen prell

Do y'all think this is how they argue in his head
