Stalking Radio
OK, so I've beaten Portal 1 two times and I just started my third play through, though this one has something unique none of the others had. The radio seems to be stalking me all of a sudden for no reason. In the second pic, it wasn't there, I turned my back to that ledge, started hearing the song, turned around and there it was on the ledge. Take note that the radio appears in spots it shouldn't be, in chambers it shouldn't be.

http://prntscr.com/1tm0p4 in this one you can't really see it very well, but it's at the bottom of that pit you need to jump in to gather enough momentum for those tall platforms.
http://prntscr.com/1tm4am even creepier is when you get back to that test chamber and the radio is gone.
http://prntscr.com/1tn0jm it even follows you outside the test chambers

And I finished the game. It apparently is in the pipe system at the end, though it's different because it sounds jittery (I couldn't take a clear shot of it since it was well hidden).

These still may not be all of the occurrences.

Does anyone know what is happening here? Is it a well-thought easter egg made by VALVe to appear after you've completed the game a random amount of times? I need to know since it's pretty creepy.

Edit: A thing I forgot to mention, is that it also appeared in the "Smooth Sax" chamber after portal-ing the cube from the pit and after putting the two cubes on the buttons to open the door to the room with a glass roof.

Edit 2: It's the same stalker radio whom if you take it through the emancipation grill it sounds like someone is breathing heavily into your ear.

Portal is already creepy enough, without you telling us such stories. I mean - those noise that the radios make. Well, those :droid: seem to have a plan...don't they?SSTV-pictures[/url.

These aren't just stories, the radio actually stalks you, there is a number of videos showing that this actually happens.

For the last time, this isn't a creepypasta, it actually happened to me as well as to 2 other people as you saw in the comment I made. I don't know whether it's a secret update that brought the radio(s) in the game stalking you or if it's just another obscure and cryptic VALVe easter egg.

Edit: Some people found this radio after playing Portal the 1st time, others got it after playing it through the 6th time. So, pretty much your argument "this creepypasta tells you everything happened on the 58th time" doesn't QUITE stand.

It's not the same radio stalking you. They are different radios, located purposely in strange spots. It's actually a weird cryptic easter egg made by valve. More info: http://gamasutra.com/blogs/AdamFoster/20130617/194321/Alternate_Reality_Game_puzzle_design.php

Yeah, I know that now. If you pick them up and walk around the chamber so that you can get them to receive either SSTV or morse code, you'd get an achievemnt. God I so love VALVe with its cryptic easter eggs.

It goes deeper than that. If you have a dial-up modem, you MIGHT be able to access the server mentioned in the morse code for more fun goodies.

The radios started appearing on my 2nd time playing. I had used console commands to play portal's "you are riding a platform into a fire" music (music/portal_4000_degrees_kelvin.mp3).

Hmm, this has never happened to me before, probably because the RaDIO is my best friend...

Maybe it's because he wants something.......or he doesn't like you....
