Whatever it is, it's not a "hidden message".

Maybe your computer is trying to tell you something. Out of all the VGUI that it could chose from, it chose the facepalm.

It just happened again (with a different graphic) in a map of Motanum.

I think the fact that it's a different image is proof enough that it's probably not an intended hidden easteregg. Still it's kinda funny.

Wait, you actually thought it was a "hidden message" and not just an engine glitch?

As said it only happened once. Probably due do a glitch in the new graphical beta driver. Maybe it's really just a glitch that the driver rendered a wrong object due to whatever, I don't deny that.

what are you talking about?.... I'm pretty sure the DLC_02 doesn't have a new graphical driver

I guess it's better to say a gimmick or an easteregg than a hidden message. I was just trying to make clear that it's not intended which I couldn't exclude in the beginning.

Never said it's about the Portal 2 Beta. Far from it: I noted that it happened in the non-Beta version of Portal 2.

Yeah I don't know. Maybe I'm too much of a cynic, or I know way too much about how 3D engines work. Maybe I just hate when people try to find "hidden" things in games that aren't really there to begin with. But my instant and immediate thought was a renderer glitch, something completely and unquestionably unintended. If the erroring texture was something like text it would be easy to dismiss it as a very obvious hoax. But the fact that it was some completely random VGUI material made it instantly clear it's just a random renderer bug.
