Hey you! Halolz regular! Are you an up and coming Portal 2 test chamber designer? Or are you a Portal 2 test subject who doesn’t know what fan-made levels to try?
Well good news! We have a new Steam group and workshop page to help showcase your work! Come join The Highly Confounding Halolz Testing Initiative for Gentlemanly Portal Placers and see what folks have been working on!

Email your video game related LOLZ to and if it's good we'll post it!
Did you know the site has over 2,500 video game themed lolz? 
And with that, I regret having bought the 360 version.

There are two companies' games you never buy the console versions of: Bethesda, and Valve.
Looks like the Multiverse isn't a total exaggeration:

I prefer the tile of "Highly Amusing Halolz and Aperture's Ostentatious and Hysterical Workbench of pOrtal Wonder"
except the PS3 version of Portal 2. That one has the privilege of being packed with the PC version.
MUST. GET. JOB. TO. PAY. FOR. PORTAL 2.
Man, this economy sucks. I'm half tempted to use the multi-verse MEs to start an armada.
okay, how many people do you think will just purposely design unwinnable levels, that either
A)hint you to press a button to drop a cube but really drops turrets on all sides of you
B)make a jump just too long to make no matter what, but makes you think is possible
C)are all dark walls, with large pool of acid water in between doors, and no way across
D)do all of the above (I would)
E) Construct a penis joke in there somewhere, somehow.
well, what do you think the map would be shaped like?
Erm… one of the workers at the end… his screen is blurred. Wonder what HE was doing.
well….it's been nice knowing the outside
Troll levels everywhere.
And let's never forget about the cross-platform play between the PS3 and steam. I bought it on steam, long ago…
One of these days I'll create the most elaborate level, THAT NO ONE CAN SOLVE BUT ME!
TRULY I'M A GOD AMONGST MEN!
Watching meet the pyro before you.
With cubes
And cuboids
So Cave Johnson Sr worked at a Farming college?
That wasn't in the American Midwest right?
Because the Soldier has a few theories to propose about the appropriate locations of animals species numbering more than one animal.
It was the single most incoherent University Paper i have ever read.
*glasses*
Clever.
this excites me in ways i didnt know i could be excited
i better call those guys fixing my gaming PC and tell them i need it back ASAP!
If I can't find a job in the next month, I'm becoming a supervillain.

Frack. I wish I had time to do this. Unfortunately, it'll have to wait 'till Summer. Senior finals season is a bitch.
That being said, once I do get around to it, I will find a way to sneak ponies into the level, so help me Celestia.
Cave Johnson here. You know, the lab boys have streamlined test chamber production so well that they assured me even a monkey could build them if given the tools. So I fired almost our entire staff, and replaced them with actual monkeys. And as it turns out, the monkeys' capabilities were grossly overestimated. Plus all the bananas we bought were gone within a week. So I decided that regular monkeys just won't cut it, and that I'd need some kind of… super-monkey. Smart enough to get the chambers done, but not so smart that they revolt and turn Aperture into a scene out of Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
And that's where you come in. The super-monkey project didn't work out very well; in fact, a number of intelligent, radioactive monkeys are rampaging around outside my office as I record this. So now I need YOU to help me design test chambers. All of the tools will be readily available as you need them, but try to keep production costs low… we're being indicted for tax fraud in no less than eighteen states, and now we're probably gonna get slapped with some animal cruelty charges on top of that. So, uh, obviously we can't pay you, but once our financial situation improves, I'll make sure you monkey replacements get all the bananas you can eat. Sound good?
Cave Johnson, we're done here.
Dude, it's like 7 bucks. I'll shell it out for you if you want. What's your profile?
Or drawn on the wall with light fixtures.
Working on Episode 3.

Cave Johnson, Here.
I'm sick of you guys at Halolz thinking that you're better than everyone else. You're causing problems in the break rooms, and poor old Jenkins can't even sleep at night because he worries that he'll never be part of your group. So I've come up with a solution. Get some work done. If you gentlemen are going to say that you're some hot shit portal testing designers, then I had better see results! Actually make the lab boys cry that they never thought of these designs. I want the whole building to know that you gentlemen can achieve without having to worry about things like girlfriends, or personal lives, or even food and drink!
And as for the impersonations of myself I keep finding on the bathroom stalls, it may have to stop. We can't have low morale because some hobo thinks that they know what I'm thinking. They can't. Hell, even I don't think I'm in my right mind sometimes. But that's because I'm not in my right mind; I'm in my backup shell for now while I have the boys fill my veins with prune juice. Takes all the antioxidants away. Great stuff. But back to the point! Stop impersonating me unless you do it well enough that the average lab boy can't even figure out that it's not me writing these things. And no, I am not a giant male genitalia like you might think I am. I'm working on that too.
Cave Johnson. We're Done Here.

Well done. Now I know who to come to when I need to take a sick day.
Also… monkeys seem to have been Aperture's theme this week.
No! But then he will never learn about fiscal responsibility!
If he wants money he should turn tricks on a street corner like a normal person. After serving one or maybe two people he'd be able to get it no problem.
Well, I'm in.
Sign me up!
Hmmm… Being a superhero is going to be a good job in the next month or so.
Wait… I'm not Batman.
This level editor is perfect It's got ev-wait… WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE LEMONS?!
DAT SOLDIER BANDOLIER
But that all depends on how good he is at his job. I'm not paying $5.00 for $1.25 worth of work……errr….I mean,….Um….how could you suggest someone degrade themself like that.
DA FUQ? Since when is it $7.00?
And it's only 6,79 of my Canadian Smackaroos!
(fun fact: the technical term for the Canadian dollar is, in fact, "Smackaroo")
But only for a little over a day…Where does one acquire $6,79 in less than 25 hours?
I once spent life in a nutshell. I don't recommend it.
How much would you pay an evil assistant?
I have a feeling that Cave wouldn't have sworn. Maybe replace the phrase "hot shit portal testing designers" with "pretty savvy puzzlers"?
<img src="http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/059/143/Ohwow.jpg" width="450/">
And before you say it, yes, I know that was the joke.
No no! I was actually waiting for someone to post Captain Haddock! +1s to you!
Vab, are you by any chance located in Ontario?
Most of the areas of Canada I've been to use a radix point for their decimals.
The one time I ever saw a decimal comma was in a french-speaking region, and while I'm not too knowledgeable on canadian social-geography, but I would imagine that all the french speaking provinces would be rather close together seeing as france had a vice grip on the eastern end of canada for so long.
Also you mentioned the great lakes at one point, and Ontario is the only province that borders them.
I'd also go so far as to say you're closer to the western end of that province, because of a comment you made about your area's weather a while back.
As much as I'd like to think that I nailed this Sherlock Holmes moment, I probably haven't had enough intravenous cocaine for the deduction to be accurate.
Well I can't fix it anymore, bub.
Thanks for that.
The correct term is PRETENDING to work on Episode 3
That depends. Are we talking about Fritz-to-my-Frankenstein, or Mussolini-to-my-Hitler?
I must say, your deductions are certainly quite clever, if slightly inaccurate. I am in fact a resident of the province of Québec, or "the place with the scary French-speaking people", although I live smack on the border of Ontario (let's just say that I have an excellent vantage point on Parliament hill, and that the Conservative government should think twice before banning the firearm registry laws). Also, I like to speak of pretty much any particular geographical formation, ranging from the Great Lakes to Uluru, so you caught a lucky break there.
Though I dislike breaking out of character and revealing some factual information about myself, I must say that your detective skills have earned you my respect. You get bonus marks if you're South of the 45th parallel!
I shall support whatever I can.
I'm actually barely north of the 47th.
I've noticed that most of the active Halozers are closer to the eastern end of the NA continent, I seem to be the only man from the land of endless rain here.
Portal gel emitter placed at the apex of a penis shaped wall design?
I might as well suggest drawing up a custom tile-set to facilitate this.
I'd rather start as just a grunt or foot-soldier, if it's ok with you. That way it'll be harder for you to see the mutiny coming.
I get the feeling the farming thing is related to the fact that the voice actor for Cave Johnson is also the test coordinator in all of the Farmers Insurance companies.
"That's meatloaf."
"Good." *click*
"That's also Meatloaf."
"…" *turns to look at screen* "So it is. Very good."
Only way it could be better is if they worked in a Spider Man reference.
No problem, I'll keep reporting your mistakes in public.
That way, people will know that you make mistakes, bringing down your public image. Because people would no longer see you as the Cave Johnson guy, because your impressions will no longer be complete. This will open up a niche in the social circles, allowing other people to try. However, as has been shown, you were the best out there, so MANY people will try to replace you. This will eventually lead to the point where everybody acts like Cave Johnson.
And when everyone's Cave Johnson…
<img src="http://www.fallingwalls.com/renbaker.com/Images/Syndrome.jpg">No one will be.
Hey, if you can get me a job, I'll be anything from your Veral-to-your-Spiral King, to your Smithers-to-your-Mr. Burns.
Excellent.
