<br />
The '''Hover Turret''' (also referred to as the Laser Turret) was an unused turret from Portal 2. The turret is still fully functional (Its a.i glitches out sometimes) and it looks like the [[Curiosity Core|curiosity core]].<br />
<br />
==Functionality==<br />
The turret emits a laser and when the laser becomes deadly, it hurts any player that it touches in the same fashion as a [[Thermal Discouragement Beam]]. It takes some time for the turret to be charged again to hurt you. In that amount of time, the laser is not deadly at all. If it barely hits any wall or floor it explodes into little pieces.<br />

<br />
* The little pieces the turret breaks into after being deactivated, have the model "glass_futbol" which was also an [[Unused content|unused element]].<br />
* The model that the turret uses is the exact same model of the [[Curiosity Core|curiosity core]].<br />
* The laser it emits doesn't act as a barrier to the player, unlike the [[Thermal Discouragement Beam|thermal discouragement beam]].<br />
* The turret's model is actually missing in the game.<br />

'''Aperture Tag: The Paint Gun Testing Initiative''' is a [[Portal 2]] modification featuring gameplay focussing around the use and manipulation of the [[Gels]] featured in ''Portal 2''.<br />
<br />
== Story ==<br />
The events take place after the events of Portal 2's cooperative campaign's Mobility Gels course, and before the events of the Art Therapy course, in the Aperture Science Facility, while [[GLaDOS]] had finished building the Aperture Science Paint Gun. A test subject wakes up in an [[Aperture Science]] [[Extended Relaxation Center]]'s restroom ready to begin his test. He is introduced to Nigel, a [[personality core]] and his test associate. He then is put through a series of tests featuring the Aperture Science Paint Gun, [[Aperture Science]]'s final product. When the testing is over, Nigel was surprised that there was someone to complete every single [[test chamber]] and thinks that he is the proper one to deactivate the old Aperture Science Stability Stable Energy Reactor, the energy supply of Aperture Science, as a new one was built. Nigel is really surprised that he made it through so easily and decides to put him through another round of tests. {{Spoiler|Near the end of the test, the test subject accidentally breaks into a maintenance area of the Aperture Science facility, which happened to be the [[Emergency Intelligence Incinerator]]'s control room. The test subject learns about his fate, and decides to close the fire area, so that he survives. When he reaches the end of the test, Nigel doesn't know what's wrong with the Incinerator, and claims that "he is actually happy that you didn't have to die", so he lets the subject out of Aperture Science. The outside is finally revealed when the "room" malfunctions and the truth is revealed. The outside was a simulation of Aperture Science, much like the one in the end of Portal 2 (according to Thinking with Time Machine, which isn't canon to the Half Life Universe)}}<br />

[[File:Energy Pellet.png|right|230px|thumb|A High Energy Pellet in ''Portal'']]<br />
{{Quotation|'''GLaDOS'''|While safety is one of many Enrichment Center goals, the Aperture Science High Energy Pellet, seen to the left of the chamber, can and has caused permanent disabilities such as vaporization.|sound=GLaDOS_03_part1_entry-1.wav}}<br />
The '''High Energy Pellet''' is a [[mechanics|puzzle mechanic]] introduced in ''[[Portal]]''. It is a fast moving energy ball, fired by an emitter built into a [[Test Chamber]] surface and usually accompanied by a receptacle that catches it. Players direct the ball into the receptacle in order to activate lifts or devices before it dissipates and explodes. The ball is extremely volatile, and as such instantly vaporizes [[Chell]] on contact. [[Turrets]], however, will be knocked over by it. The High Energy Pellet emitter makes a cameo in Chamber 7 of Portal 2, being lifted out and being replaced by a [[Thermal Discouragement Beam]] emitter. The catcher also appears during the exit of a destroyed Test Chamber 19, hidden behind broken Panels.<br />
{{clr}}<br />
<br />
==Portal==<br />
The High Energy Pellet was a common puzzle mechanic in Portal. It first appeared in [[Portal Test Chamber 06]] and made recurrent appearances throughout the game. Test Chamber 19 features two versions of the High Energy Pellet, the standard yellow High Energy Pellet as well as a green High Energy Pellet. As the green one does not dissipate and explode, it is sometimes colloquially known as the '''Super High Energy Pellet'''.<br />
<br />
==Portal 2==<br />
The High Energy Pellet does not make an appearance in Portal 2; however, only its emitter and receptacle do. These appear in [[Portal 2 Chapter 2 Test Chamber 1|Chamber 1 of Portal 2's second chapter]], which is identical to [[Portal Test Chamber 06|Test Chamber 06]] of Portal (albeit run down and degraded). However, this similarity is removed when [[GLaDOS]] replaces the items with those of the Thermal Discouragement Beam. They are also present in [[Portal 2 Chapter 1 Test Chambers 7 & 8|Chamber 7 of Portal 2's first chapter]], as this chamber is simply a run-down version of Portal's [[Portal Test Chamber 07|Test Chamber 07]].<br />

}}<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* The Energy Pellet uses the '''Combine Energy Ball''' model from the ''Half-Life'' series.<br />
* The Pellet "refreshes" every time it passes through linked portals, meaning the player could keep the ball bouncing until they've discovered the solution to the current chamber.<br />
* For a brief moment in [[Portal 2 Chapter 2 Test Chamber 1]], the High Energy Pellet launcher and catcher can be seen being replaced with the [[Thermal Discouragement Beam]].<br />
* Putting [[Portal]] maps into [[Portal 2]], you will see that the high energy emitter, catcher and the pellet itself are fully functional. The only things that are missing are the sounds and the model for the pellet.<br />

'''Aperture Tag: The Paint Gun Testing Initiative''' is a [[Portal 2]] modification featuring gameplay focussing around the use and manipulation of the [[Gels]] featured in ''Portal 2''.<br />
<br />
== Story ==<br />
A test subject wakes up in an [[Aperture Science]] [[Relaxation Vault]] ready to begin his test. He is introduced to Nigel, a [[personality core]] and his test associate. He then is put through a series of tests featuring the Aperture Science Paint Gun, [[Aperture Science]]'s final product. When the testing is over, Nigel was surprised that there was someone to complete every single [[test chamber]] and thinks that he is the proper one to deactivate the old Aperture Science Energy Reactor, the energy supply of Aperture Science, as a new one was built. Nigel is really surprised that he made it through so easily and decides to put him through another round of tests. {{Spoiler|Near the end of the test, the test subject accidentally breaks into a maintenance area of the Aperture Science facility, which happened to be the [[Aperture Science Emergency Intelligence Incinerator]]'s control room. The test subject learns about his fate, and decides to close the fire area, so that he survives. When he reaches the end of the test, Nigel doesn't know what the hell is wrong with the Incinerator, and claims that "he is actually happy that you didn't have to die", so he lets the subject out of Aperture Science. The outside is finally revealed when the "room" malfunctions and the truth is revealed. The outside was a simulation of Aperture Science, much like the one in the end of Portal 2 (unofficial, of course)}}<br />

* Aperture Science Paint Gun<br />
: Allows the player to coat a surface in either the [[Repulsion Gel]] or the [[Propulsion Gel]], and allows the player to pick up objects in a similar fashion to the [[Portal gun]].<br />
* Aperture Science Paint Gun Activation Field<br />
: Has two sides: The green one activates the Paint Gun so that it can shoot [[gel]], and the purple one deactivates it.<br />
* Aperture Science Vaccum<br />
: Is used for transportation between [[test chambers]].<br />

Reply- Whatever, but I did not know [[Conversion|it]] was a mod. I thought it was a normal game, despite not being developed by Valve. Anyway, thanks for correcting me.

'''''Portal 2''''' is the sequel to the award winning and hugely successful ''[[Portal]]'' developed by [[Valve|Valve Corporation]]. It features a single-player story set after the events of ''Portal'''s story; and a brand-new [[Co-op]] game mode, featuring additional [[test chambers]] designed specifically for Co-operative play. ''Portal 2'' was released April 19, 2011 on the Steam platform. Retail release in North America started on April 19, 2011; and later, Europe and Australia on April 21, 2011.<br />
<br />
== Plot ==<br />
{{main|Story}}<br />
{{Spoiler|''Portal 2'' takes place an indeterminate amount of time after the events of ''Portal'', which saw [[Chell]] destroying the sentient computer [[GLaDOS]], and landing outside the facility, only to be dragged back inside of [[Aperture Science]] where she was ultimately placed in a [[Relaxation Chamber]] for the indefinite future.}}<br />
<br />
{{Spoiler|After considerable time has passed, [[Wheatley]], a [[personality core]], that has helped to maintain Aperture Science during the absence of GLaDOS arrives at the room of the awakening Chell. With a desire to flee the crumbling facility, Wheatley and Chell begin their quest to escape Aperture Science to return to the real world. After separating from Wheatley and completing a series of tests revisited from ''Portal'', Chell reunites with Wheatley and head to what they believe will be escape. They must cross through the chamber of GLaDOS who lies broken and dismembered on the floor of her chamber, they enter the breaker room looking for a way out, and instead accidentally reactivate GLaDOS. They rise up through the floor just in time to witness GLaDOS pulling herself back together and taking over the facility again. Chell and GLaDOS quickly reunite, culminating with GLaDOS using a robotic arm to drop Chell into the incinerator, and guiding her back towards a new series of tests that GLaDOS intends to force Chell to run continuously until she dies.}}<br />
<br />
{{Spoiler|Meanwhile, Wheatley attempts to find a way to get out from under GLaDOS and continue their attempt to escape facility, with Chell's help, he intends to disable her turret production line, disable her [[Deadly Neurotoxin]] and then shut her down once again to facilitate their escape. He reunites with Chell and they escape through the bowels of the building. After achieving their goals and enter GLaDOS' now rebuilt chamber, the computer system detects an alternate core and begins the process of a core transfer, which GLaDOS promptly refuses, prompting the Stalemate Button to be activated. Chell works her way to the button, finally hitting it, which then swaps out the cores of GLaDOS and Wheatley. Wheatley, corrupt with the power from the entire facility of Aperture, quickly turns on Chell, and shoves GLaDOS into a potato battery as revenge. He knocks them down an elevator shaft where they fall to the remnants of the previous incarnation of the Aperture facility.}}<br />
<br />
{{Spoiler|GLaDOS (in potato form), has now informed Chell that Wheatley was designed to make extremely poor decisions, in order to turn GLaDOS into somewhat of a moron in an effort to control and dampen her homicidal tendencies. She informs Chell that Wheatley's lack of stability is going to cause the destruction of Aperture Science killing everyone and everything inside the facility. Before Chell can decide whether or not to help, GLaDOS is swooped away by a [[bird]] and Chell heads off to attempt to find a way back into the primary facility.}}<br />
<br />
{{Spoiler|Chell uncovers the remnants of a 1950's Aperture Science guided by the voice of the now deceased Aperture Science founder [[Cave Johnson]]. She enters a series of tests, often having to navigate between them in unconventional ways due to the deterioration of the lower facility. At this time we learn of Cave Johnson's secretary/assistant, [[Caroline]], of which Cave is rather fond. Chell reunites with GLaDOS in the nest of the bird that took her. GLaDOS, insistent that she can't lie with only 1.1 volts of power, implores Chell to take her with her to put her back in her body and stop Wheatley from destroying the facility. Chell ultimately agrees and attaches GLaDOS to her [[Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device]] and they continue to try to find a path towards the upper facility.}}<br />
<br />
{{Spoiler|As Chell continues to run through tests from the 1970's, and 1980's, GLaDOS becomes curious about Caroline and Cave who she keeps hearing in the recorded guidance in test chambers. She comes to a realization, that she chooses not to share with Chell, and they head towards the newer Aperture facility. In an effort to get back up, Chell must turn on pump stations Alpha, Beta, and Gamma which connect [[Repulsion Gel]], [[Propulsion Gel]], and [[Conversion Gel]] to the newer facility. Repulsion and Propulsion Gels were Apertures attempt at a dietary supplement, whereas Conversion Gel, made from crushed up moon rocks which ultimately lead to the death of Cave Johnson, is used as an ideal portal conductor. When painted on any surface, the ASHPD can be used as designed. They reach the newer facility where Wheatley has taken full control.}}<br />
<br />
{{Spoiler|Wheatley, now in the body of GLaDOS which has a built in euphoric response to testing, forces Chell to begin a series of tests to fill Wheatley's new found insatiability for testing. These begin with a rather weak attempt by Wheatley to create a test chamber, but ultimately lead to test chambers stock piled by GLaDOS and shoved together crudely by Wheatley. Chell passes through these chambers, and once again finds her way out of the control of Wheatley and into the bowels of the facility. They arrive at Wheatley's test chamber which, he says, has been designed with the entire purpose of not allowing Chell to defeat him. Chell causes Wheatley to destroy a pipe containing Conversion Gel, allowing portals to be used in the chamber which ultimately leads to his destruction. With help from GLaDOS, Chell attaches corrupt personality cores to Wheatley.}} <br />
<br />
{{Spoiler|Once the cores are attached to Wheatley, he becomes corrupt, initiating another core transfer. However, in one of the most intelligent premeditated moves Wheatley performs, he has booby trapped the stalemate button, launching Chell back into the chamber, a single portal laying under Wheatley's hanging body. Alive despite the explosion, Chell reaches for her Portal gun, and, remembering that moon dust creates an ideal portal surface, aims it through a hole in the ceiling at a full moon high in the sky. She fires, causing the space core, the adventure core, Chell, and Wheatley still attached to GLaDOS' body flying into space. GLaDOS quickly regains control of her body, knocks Wheatley into space, and pulls Chell back into the facility. GLaDOS monologues regarding no longer having the desire to kill Chell, and instead just wants her to leave the facility forever. She sends Chell up an elevator, past a chorus of turrets singing an opera directly to Chell, and out into a wheat field. Moments later the [[Companion Cube]], burnt and beaten, is thrown up after her and lands on the ground next to Chell.}}<br />
<br />
{{Spoiler|Now in space, a remorseful Wheatley comprehends the choices he made, and what he might have done differently. Wishing he had, instead, helped Chell to escape rather than wind up in space.}}<br />
<br />
{{Spoiler|The game concludes, yet again, with a song sung by GLaDOS surmising the events of the game. The song, [[Want You Gone]], written by Jonathan Coulton indicates that, despite claims that Caroline has been deleted, is still present inside GLaDOS, and that deleting Chell from her memory bank will make GLaDOS feel better. The song concludes with GLaDOS simply telling Chell she wants her gone.}}<br />
<br />
== Development ==<br />
Development on ''Portal 2'' begins shortly after ''[[Portal]]'' was released. It originally was planned to not include any portals in the game, utilizing a new mechanic called '''"F-STOP"'''. ''Portal 2'' was also planned to be set in [[Aperture Science]]'s earlier days, specifically during the 1950's era. When asked one of the members that worked on ''Portal 2'' that the game wasn't going to include portals, and how would the game be a sequel to ''Portal'', and more specifically, use the ''Portal'' title. He replied with, "We'll deal with it later.", hinting it was to focus on the game's mechanics first.<br />
<br />
''Portal 2'' was also conceptualized as set after the events of ''Portal'', and [[GLaDOS]] would test the new subject, named [[Mel]], similarly to how it was with [[Chell]]. After playtesters were disappointed after GLaDOS didn't recognize the player as the one who killed her in the first game, Mel was rejected as a result. <br />
<br />
Mel also appeared alongside Chell in the co-op mode of ''Portal 2'' for a while before both being ultimately replaced by [[Atlas]] and [[P-body]]. <br />
<br />
There was also going to be a fourth [[Gel]] planned for the game. Also inspired by "Tag: The Power of Paint", the fourth Gel was named [[Adhesion Gel]]. Bearing a purple texture, it originally allowed Chell to walk up walls. It was canceled due to playtesters became too disoriented and often had motion sickness while trying to pass a [[Test Chamber]] with Adhesion Gel. The coding (although it does not have any texture and bestows no effects on the surface it was painted on), is left in the game files.<br />

'''''Portal''''' is the original game of the ''Portal'' series. It is a single-player puzzle-based video game developed by [[Valve]] and released as part of [[The Orange Box]] on October 9, 2007 for Microsoft Windows and Xbox 360; the PlayStation 3 version released at the later date of December 11, 2007. ''Portal'' was also re-released as part of the launch of Mac OS X support for Steam on May 12, 2010; to celebrate it was given away for free until May 24, 2010 to Steam users on a promotional page on the Steam website. Further to this, Portal has been made available for free again for a limited duration as part of the [[Learn With Portals]] project.<br />
<br />
== Synopsis ==<br />
{{main|Story}}<br />
{{spoiler text|Portal's plot is revealed to the player via audio messages from [[GLaDOS]] and side rooms found in the later levels. According to The Final Hours of [[Portal 2]], the year is established to be "somewhere in 2010" — twelve years after its abandonment. The game begins with protagonist [[Chell]] waking up from a stasis bed and hearing instructions and warnings from GLaDOS about the upcoming test experience. This part of the game involves distinct test chambers that, in sequence, introduce players to the game's mechanics. GLaDOS's announcements serve not only to instruct Chell and help her progress through the game, but also to create atmosphere and develop the AI as a character. Chell is promised cake and grief counseling as her reward if she manages to complete all the test chambers.}}<br />
<br />
{{spoiler text|Chell proceeds through the empty Enrichment Center, interacting only with GLaDOS. Over the course of the game, GLaDOS's motives are hinted to be more sinister than her helpful demeanor suggests. Although she is designed to appear helpful and encouraging, GLaDOS's actions and speech suggest insincerity and callous disregard for the safety and well-being of the test subjects. The test chambers become increasingly dangerous as Chell proceeds, and GLaDOS even directs Chell through a live-fire course designed for military androids as a result of "mandatory scheduled maintenance" in the regular test chamber. In another chamber, GLaDOS boasts about the fidelity and importance of the Weighted Companion Cube, a waist-high crate with a single large pink heart on each face, for helping Chell to complete the chamber. However, GLaDOS then declares that it "unfortunately must be euthanized" in an "emergency intelligence incinerator" before Chell can continue. Some of the later chambers include automated turrets with child-like voices that fire at Chell, only to sympathize with her after being disabled ("I don't blame you" and "No hard feelings"). }}<br />
<br />
{{spoiler text|After Chell completes the final test chamber, GLaDOS congratulates her and prepares her "victory candescence", maneuvering Chell into a pit of fire. As GLaDOS assures her that "all Aperture technologies remain safely operational up to 4,000 degrees [sic] kelvin", Chell escapes with the use of the portal gun and makes her way through the maintenance areas within the Enrichment Center. Throughout this section, GLaDOS still sends messages to Chell and it becomes clear that she has become corrupt and may have killed everyone else in the center. Chell makes her way through the maintenance areas and empty office spaces behind the chambers, sometimes following graffiti messages which point in the right direction. These backstage areas, which are in an extremely dilapidated state, stand in stark contrast to the pristine test chambers. The graffiti includes statements such as "the cake is a lie" and pastiches of Emily Dickinson's poem "The Chariot," Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's "The Reaper and the Flowers," and Emily Brontë's "No Coward Soul Is Mine," mourning the death of the Companion Cube.<br />
GLaDOS attempts to dissuade Chell with threats of physical harm and misleading statements claiming that she is going the wrong way as Chell makes her way deeper into the maintenance areas. Eventually, Chell reaches a large chamber where GLaDOS's hardware hangs overhead. GLaDOS continues to plead with Chell, but during the exchange one of GLaDOS' personality core spheres falls off; Chell drops it in an incinerator. GLaDOS reveals that Chell has just destroyed the morality core, which the Aperture Science employees allegedly installed after GLaDOS flooded the enrichment center with a deadly neurotoxin, and goes on to state that now there is nothing to prevent her from doing so once again. A six-minute countdown starts as Chell dislodges and incinerates more pieces of GLaDOS, while GLaDOS attempts to discourage her both verbally with a series of taunts and increasingly juvenile insults and physically by firing rockets at Chell. After she has destroyed the final piece, a portal malfunction tears the room apart and transports everything to the surface. Chell is then seen lying outside the facility's gates amid the remains of GLaDOS. One of the final scenes is changed through a patch of the PC version that was made available a few days before Portal 2's announcement; in this retroactive continuity, Chell is dragged away from the scene by an unseen entity speaking in a robotic voice, thanking her for assuming the party escort submission position (a reference to GLaDOS's request that she assume this position after escaping).<br />
The final scene, after a long and speedy zoom through the bowels of the facility, shows a mix of shelves surrounding a Black Forest cake and the Weighted Companion Cube. The shelves contain dozens of other personality cores, some of which begin to light up before a robotic arm descends and extinguishes the candle on the cake. As the credits roll, GLaDOS delivers a concluding report: the song "Still Alive", considering the experiment to be a huge success.}}<br />
<br />
== Development ==<br />
Portal is Valve's professionally-developed spiritual successor to the freeware Narbacular Drop, the 2005 independent game released by students of the DigiPen; the original Drop team were employed at Valve. Certain elements, like the orange/blue system of identifying the two different portal ends a player can have open at a time (one connecting to the other), have been retained. The key difference in the signature portal mechanic between the two games is that in Narbacular Drop the player can place a portal on a wall visible through another portal, whereas in Portal, the HPD cannot fire a portal shot through a portal; however, the HPD can fire a portal shot while the player is standing in a portal.<br />

I, [[User:12lightningtheif|<sup>12</sup>]][[File:Achievement A Feeling Like Floating.jpg|Thumb|Lightning|x30px]][[User:12lightningtheif|<sub>theif</sub>]], Think that a big, well known section shouldn't nominate a big article. We should nominate a page most people don't look at, like the [[Oracle Turret]], who is not even mentioned on the turrets page. Most people would vote for caroline because they like that character, or wheatley. Thats not me. I vote for the [[Oracle Turret]]. &ndash;[[User:12lightningtheif|<sup>12</sup>]]|[[File:Achievement A Feeling Like Floating.jpg|Thumb|Lightning|x40px]]|[[User:12lightningtheif|<sub>theif</sub>]]''':''' <small> <small> Zap!</small></small> 01:20, 15 November 2011 (UTC)<br />
