Portal Conspiracy

[ajunk]

It starts as Valve "updates" Portal:
http://store.steampowered.com/news/3533/

Soon afterward, a new achievement appears:
http://steamcommunity.com/stats/Portal/achievements/

Then,

The aperturescience.com flash changed. Before, the INTERROGATE command, when given a parameter, gave an error about 'illegally initiating diciplinary action'.
It did this on a random account, as well as on cjohnson account. Now when using the command as cjohnson and giving it a wrong parameter it says "employee not found".

This thing wants a name.

And shortly after, radios start popping up in Portal:


As far as I've been able to figure out, you find each radio (26 total across the game) and bring it to a point in the test chamber. As you approach these areas, the static of the music playing increases. When you arrive, the light on the radio turns green and what appears to be morse code comes out.

Some decode into messages:

Others, using a very specific program which translates sound coming from your sound card into images, produce.... images:

it reveals release date for HL3

[KoD]

[mbaxter]

Epic valve troll is epic.

If not HL3, it'll be related to Portal2 or HL2EP3.

Or CSS2

Only pussies use guides
real men get stressed out and spend hours going through the same map over and over not noticing what they're looking for until the twelfth run through
it's always the twelfth

CSS2... everyone would be so mad
