Anyone has noticed that L4D's spitter's acid looks very similar to that of the gells in Portal 2 when they splat?

No reason not to reuse particles

apparently some of the alien attacks in alien swarm look like gel blobs in portal 2

Wouldn't surprise me in the least if VALVe just recolored the particles and implemented it in some code.

IDE/Theory: One of the personality cores will disguise itself as a Companion Cube.

[spoiler]EDIT: Confirmed: In Rattmann's transmissions we saw Companion Cube on the moon while in reality it was Wheatley.[/spoiler]

I love speculation. since this thread was made before portal 2's release, i'll share what my thoughts were back then:

The plot is that chell wakes up in a room, and the room automatically gets her to the test. she later meets wheatley and they try to escape, meeting some of wheatley's friends along the way. but wheatley is killed by glados when she turns on. glados sends chell through testing, every so often sending her into bts areas to get one of wheatley's core friends and return it to glados. glados takes the entire game to repair the whole facility, and is very nearly done when chell finds a morality core and gives it to glados, who installs it. big epic boss fight where chell actually damages glados as apposed to un-installing components, and chell escapes through a hole that opens when glados is defeated. one thing missing from the final product that i enjoyed in this speculation is the exploration in bts that i expected to see a lot of.
