Colonel Odessa Cubbage: A deep dive | Metrocop

Everyone knows that Odessa Cubbage's model was originally Odell, but did you know Odessa Cubbage was influenced by The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, of all things? All that and more in the latest Metrocop article!
you ever think about how gordon and chell both get sent to the metaphorical fields of elysium at the end of their respective stories (gordon at the end of epistle 3). you know. where mythological heroes go after they die. and they were both of almost messianic status at the end of their games... with chell getting murals dedicated to her and the way wheatley talks about "the human who killed *her*." gordon is obvoius the elysium parallel is definitely intentional in portal, with its direct references to prometheus and tartarus. gordon technically gets sent to a "shore" at the end of epistle 3 but it still counts i think

I'm Cave Johnson, CEO of Aperture Science - you might know us as a vital participant in the 1968 Senate Hearings on missing astronauts." What was Aperture's role in the hearing? Did Black Mesa also participate? What exactly happened up there?
Sometime after the death of Half-Life: Absolute Zero, I was toying around with my unfinished rework maps for Office Warrens. For the final map of the chapter, I had realized that it was merely an upgraded version of the Alpha map and constructed a version that was as accurate as I could possibly imagine. Footage originally recorded on August 12th, 2021. What I didn't expect was for it to be nearly 1:1 to the original map. On May 30th, 2022, footage of the map resurfaced that was shown off on …
