Hi, my name is Ryan. I am 11 years old and I just recently started blogging using WordPress, and this is my first post thingy. Anyways, I am interested in a variety of things, such as Portal and Portal 2 (those are 2 games made by Valve, in case you didn’t know) aerospace, drawing, and computer science. And yes, I am actually 11 years old. Most people think i’m like all geeky and stuff cause I’m interested in computers and all these video games and stuff, and my dad’s always like “if you can remember all this stuff about computers and Portal and stuff, why can’t you remember math facts and things like that!??!!?!?!?” and i’m like “cause math is boring” and he’s like “ummmm…….k” and yeah. But hey, i guess i am kind of a geek, just so anybody who is reading this knows that. ANYways, you can breathe again now, cause i’m done with the whole super long intro thing. Also, anybody reading this that doesn’t know what Portal and Portal 2 is should probably stop reading, open a new tab, and LOOK UP PORTAL OR PORTAL 2 ON GOOGLE OR BING OR ONE OF THE 5 MILLION SEARCH ENGINES THERE ARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ok. So, for you who do know what Portal is, well, here we go. I was playing Half-Life a couple days ago, and I was like “you know, the Black Mesa facility thing looks really big” and then I was like “you know, it would be cool if some guy posted a map of it on the web. So, I Googled something like “map of black mesa” and, sure enough, a map came up. It actually looked pretty awesome. It was all 3d and stuff, and you could see the the complex inside the mountains, the Anti-Mass Spectrometer, and the dorms and the guys at the fast food place and the tram and everything!!!! Oh yeah, I probably should have mentioned it earlier but if you don’t get any of what I just said than half-life is another video game made by Valve. Once again, if you don’t know what Half-Life is GOOGLE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thx. Well, a couple days after I played half-life i played Portal 2, and i was like “THERE’S NO MAP OF THE ENRICHMENT CENTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” i’m serious, i could have sworn I spent like 4 hours searching for a stupid map on google images. But guess what?!?!!? I DIN’T FIND ONE!!!!!! So, since I like to draw, I used the developer console to activate sv_cheats and noclip, and I took some screenshots of the exterior of the test chambers and GLaDOS’s chamber and stuff. Eventually, after scraping together some screenshots and articles on the web about the Enrichment center, I began to draw a map of the complex. Took about 2 hours. Then, I scanned it and posted it on Word Press, so everybody else can finally have a pretty accurate map of the enrichment center. And yes, I included the turret factory, GLaDOS’s chamber, the extended relaxation vault, the neurotoxin generator, and the test chambers and everything else. It’s not in 3D and it hasn’t been Photoshopped, but I think it’s an ok map for the amount of work i put into it. Here it is:

Awww krud. sorry that it got posted sideways. I did crop it and rotate it in iPhoto, accept it rotated back when i posted it. KRUDMONKIES.

Well, now you’re probably saying, well, this kid makes a map for the new part of the enrichment center, but not the old part with cave johnson and everything!!!!! Well, I actually did find a map of the old part which is actually a poster the old facility. I found this pic on the Half-Life/Portal Wiki.

Hmmmmm…..that’s funny. This one didn’t come in upside down. That’s weird. Hmmmm…..

Well, one last thing, who is you’re favorite character from Portal/Portal 2?!?!?!!?

Thx for readin’
