I wonder who is better.

Nuff said

That's really lame...Oh, right. It's Aperture.

Hngg. Aperture is only winning because of Portal 2. Should I add ZB's post to the OP?

I like Aperture, because it is always so sleek, and smooth. They really organise their work, and look over everything before they let it out in the public.

Are you saying Black Mesa isn't?

Also, Black Mesa is a lot more careful. At least they didn't sink their own research vessel.

Lets see Aperture make something cooler then these




Black Mesa has also bested Aperture in the teleportation department. With a gun, or anywhere on the planet? Or dimension for one thing.

90 degree radius vs 360 degree radius
Bulky three-legged turret you can walk up from behind and pick up vs Sleek and compact turret that can see anywhere

(For some reason I'm starting to feel competitive almost.. Da hell is wrong with me)

black mesa turrets are loving hard to sneak up on lol. they have a wide wide range of view.
half the time you HAVE to get up in their face, and quickly throw an object at them before they kill you.

Anyone forget about this?

Good point. Black Mesa went to space twice already, as well as sending an animal the second time.

Black Mesa also sent a gnome (with Lamarr).
