hi guys, as some of you may know there have been a few recent updates for Portal, a game in Valve's Orange Box collection. They have added radios, dotted around the test chambers and the escape section, which must be placed in the correct position in order to receive a broadcast. Its been confirmed that these broadcasts are either SSTV (slow scan TV, used to transmit images over radio networks back in the day) or morse code. There are 26 radios, and proper placement of all of them earns you an achievement included in the download. A brief recap of whats been discovered in these images and messages can be found here *CONTAINS SPOILERS*, and it all seems very intriguing. So, is anyone here hunting down answers? have you found something the rest of the world hasnt discovered yet? post it here, but please say so in your post if you are saying anything which may spoil the surprise for others :)

*EDIT* forgot to mention, correct placement of the radios also nets you a slightly extended ending, wont say whats in it, but youll know it if you get it :D

I got the update, tried to play it but from what I have read is that you need to have completed Portal and got the Heartbreaker achievement to unlock these radios for the next play through. I shall do this tonight while Wife016 watches Eastenders.

On a side note, it is a friend's birthday next month. I am going to get him this: http://store.valvesoftware.com/products ... Plush.html :mrgreen:

I've completed it but that was some time ago so it hasn't registered.

If the companion cube could talk and you are reminded that it can't, it will ask you to buy it.
