What is this?

Pause the video at 00:32 to see this clip.

That... is a very good question

The numbers are ASCII. The message reads:

Here's Da Beens Dougtato:

You found many.

Find the rest.

MiKaXsUs FTW

It's part of the ARG but what it means I don't know.

Update: It turns out dougtato is a name from the Steam forums and is directly related to the ARG. This probably has something to do with the Potato mods.

I want one of those beside my bed.

Above the turrets when they're firing at the P-body and Atlas, there's an easter egg about a new door mechanism :3

Thank you sir, I would not have noticed other wise!

And these adverts make me laugh, especially '65% more bullet, per bullet' and 'That's not a panel, that's a crusher, we also sell them too...'

The comedy seems to be funnier than the first one's and gameplay looks amazing, so glad I pre-purchased!

I cannot wait at all. Seeing as I just got a job, (finally!) I'm saving up for this and MK9. Shame that I'm now living in a small town and that the nearest place to get a video game means an hours drive. Oh well, at least I know I'll be able to get my games. Thank God.

Dear Valve Aperture Science,

ALL OF MY MONEY. TAKE IT NOW.

Sincerely,

"Family-Puzzle"?

Really?

So, a psychotic AI with dispassionate mother issues that tortures its children...

But slapping a woman's bum? No...that's not family friendly.

Y U NO MAKE SENSE WORLD?

According to the Invisible Pigeonholing Council, anything that's not rated T or above is a "family" game. Just like every PG movie is a "family film". Just... don't question it.

Seriously it's unbelievable, they have the best ads in the entire industry, and they do it without paying through the nose for an advertising firm, why the fuck do companies even use advertising firms anyway!?

I figure, because they're advertising firms. They do a very good job marketing themselves to companies.

I predict the completion of Fallout: New Vegas gets put on hold as soon as Portal 2 is released.

Must... finish... New.... Vegas... eye... of... thundera....

 

[Jimmy T. Malice]

Hoping those 'different' turrets appear in the game...

 

[GothmogII]

Hey, they ad guy sounds like Mickey Cantor :3

Only a matter of time before some thoughtful soul makes a working model of one of these. Netch, done already right?

What is this?

The numbers look like standard ASCII character values to me. It translates into:

Here's Da Beens, Dougtato:
You found many.
Find the rest.

Don't know what it means. Note the capital letter in the final line. I doubt I'm the first to figure it out.

You should do a public service and review it on Amazon.

I always found the Aperture Turrets overhyped. It was mainly the extensive advertising, sleek design and Aperture brand that sold them. And they were pricier than their more competent alternatives. Must-have for hipsters to get that delusion of individuality.

I myself always preferred the Combine Turret. It might not be glamorous, but it's cheap and customisable.

Custom paint job!

I KNOW!

I would totally buy one of those Combine turrets, but with the whole "Humanity rebelling against their alien oppressors" thing going on right now they're TERRIBLY hard to find.

 

[Jeff Loper]

I need one of there to use as a scarecrow.

 

[ImmortalDrifter]

I need an evening at the improve turret! NOW!

 

[DTWolfwood]

punchline is fantastic. "just try to get near that baby, heh your funeral" XD

 

[Kargathia]

I swear, after Portal is released Valve's marketing team should do a full length animated movie. This has to be the first time that I repeatedly watch advertising not only because I'm interested in the game, but also because the clips are just that good.
