There's less than one hour left! Rich has lost all sense of balance and dignity.

A countdown has appeared on www.aperturescience.com , along with a message from the ever-enchanting GLaDOS.

Valve's superfans are back to break the player concurrent record for Portal, but the challenge may be steeper than anyone has realised
Deadlock's latest character basically gets a portal gun, and his ult teleports enemies to a void hotel where they have to do a platforming challenge
Team Cherry will be making a 'Special Announcement' about Silksong on Thursday, and—wait, is it finally over? Can we all go home?
