I started Skyrionn to go back and look at easter eggs and the little details in classic video games. From that, I’ve moved on to looking at timelines and lore in video games.

Update: A mistake I've seen looking back is that I stated Caroline began working at Aperture in the 1980s, I mispoke. She was actually with Aperture in its early days. My bad!
-
Aperture science is what happens when a bunch of people with high intelligence and low wisdom get together.
-
GLaDOS can't delete Caroline, as she IS Caroline. I think the personality cores drastically dampened the humanity in her. She was angry and trying to kill the scientists because she was forced to upload her consciousness against her will. After having the cores removed, she was able to have her memories sparked. I suppose then, the most she could do is delete certain memories she made in her human body, but not herself entirely.

i love how lemons are one of the tags in this video
-
One of my personal favourite theories is that, GlaDOS isn't inherently ''Evil" but is corrupted by the mainframe of the enrichment centre itself, you see it happen to wheatly almost immediately after he got plugged in and notice how her humanity returned after being removed from the system.

Him: chell seemed to be smarter than the other test subjects Companion Cube: was she the smartest? Doug ratman: no
-
Just finished my first playthrough of the portal. I remember all of my buddies playing it back in the day so I thought I would try it. The ending blew my mind! incredible game.
-
I find fascinating how after so many years these games are still relevant, keep up the great job! :D
-
You can't really blame GLaDOS for killing all the scientists, what would you do if someone kills you and afterwards you awake in a machins with the ability to get your revenge?
-
caroline seems like a nice lady, i sure hope she doesn't develop murderous urges after getting put inside a machine
-
I really want to hug GLaDOS. She deserves one.
-
Fun fact: GLaDOS stands for “Genetic Life-form and Disc Operating System”
-
Well here we are again, deep portal lore, it’s always such a pleasure.
-
Amazing video. Been obsessed with portal for a long time and I found out some new things from this video. Keep up the great work!
-
Excellent video, I appreciate how you succinctly explain her backstory without sacrificing important details. Your editing is great and compliments the story you're telling well. I just watched your half life and portal lore videos, was highly impressed. Subscribed!
-
These lore videos are very interesting in my opinion, great job! :)
-
Remember when the blue core from the first portal game that give out ingredients like "fish shaped soild waste", etc. That not real ingredients for the cake, so that "intelligence" sphere/core Chell destroyed but some how survived and became Wheatley... why you may ask? cause after GLaDOS got turned into a Potato and became PotatOS she said this to him "I know you.... the engineers tried to slow me down and make me behave... they once attached an intelligence core onto me it filled me with terrible ideas like a tumor.. it was your voice.. you were the tumor" But hey it's just a theory.. a game theory
-
I really really Really REALLY want an alternate reality or something where glados and Chell stay in the facility and glados explores what doing science and being a human is like!!!
-
portal 2 is my favorite story game and i never understood what is about with caroline. thank you for this video
-
Missed opportunity for the "I'm not a robot" reference lol
