does that say 2000? or 2020?

[R0b0t5Are5uper10r]

It says 2000, so Portal 2 is probably 2000 and something despite the people who say it's 3020 or whatever. Probably after 2010. Not sure.

During its development Valve wanted it to take place around 50.000 years after the first Portal. [k38.kn3.net]

During its development they also wanted Wheatley to be a minor charcter and Cave the main villain. Just because they wanted it at fist doesn't mean it's still true.

They've obviously changed Cave and Wheatley, but they didn't do much in terms of the time passage, the facility is still destroyed.

There are poster up in Aperture. Would paper have lated that long? Would anything have lasted that long?

seems like them gun turrets were being sold to public, i wonder what kinda robots aperture was selling to military forces, the next round of portal games, and half-life are going to be interesting.

Well yeah actually they did. If you play the "Art Therapy"course that has been added you will find that Glados, who lies all the time, initally lies about it being 50,000 in the future and then eventually comes clean and says that it has only ben a week or something like that.. And, in any event, all man made structures would eventually fall into a state of disrepair after about 5 years of non-occupation and would be in a severe state of compromise after about 20 years so after about 100 the structure would be non-existant...

Then explain to me how can the old Aperture levels be in a relatively pristine condition after 50 (give or take) years abandoned. How come all the electric conections are still working?

If we're being realistic... How could Chell and Glados survive a fall of about 4kilometers?

Ever heard of longfall boots???? But seriously the condition of the building (and I am not talking about the abandoned testing tracks) could not possibly be that pristine after even 100 years as the steel in the frame of the building would be severely compromised by exposure to the elements... But this is a game so plot inaccuracies are excusable - to a certain extent...

The vitrified chambers could have been kept in an extremely low owygen and moisture containment which would preserve them for a lot longer... At least until Glados was shutdown (or "KILLED") in Portal...

Then there's no point in discussing this! I already left my "evidence," make of that whatever you want.

*goes back to the shadows*

[SilentHorizon]

So is it 50.000 (with a DOT) years or 50,000 years (with a COMA)?

I SEE THAT IT IS 290 BUT THAT IS NOT A RIGHT YEAR

Apreture was still alive and kicking after GLaDOS was shut down. Lil robots going about doing their tasks etc, they would have kept the facility in top condition. The whole place was being run by robots after GLaDOS took over. One was even above ground after the 'killing' of GLaDOS (to drag you back down). They prolly went to the shops (lol) and whatnot, buying/scavanging what they need to keep Apreture running 'til the end of time. Test, test, test. Thats all she lives for.
e: though Apreture was underground, and top secret so maybe they had warehouses full of junk especially for the purpose of maintaining the facility *shrugs*.

it is 50,000 years, literally unarguable. Not even close to 2020.
