Portal 2 Easter Egg: Turrets Are Even More Adorable Than You Thought

If you've been playing Valve's latest fantastic release, Portal 2 -- and you should be! -- or even if you just played the original when it came out in 2007, then you're familiar with the innocent-yet-deadly turrets, sleek, bullet-packing robots that will gun you down mercilessly but kindly forgive you when you knock them out. They probably have already made you say "awww" at their overall cuteness, but a newly discovered easter egg from the sequel just adds to that feeling.

The video below, from YouTube user BlueXephos, shows off an early puzzle in Portal 2 where you can discover a hidden area that has a nice surprise: singing turrets. Check it out for yourself:

  • I found this the night p2 came out love it :)

  • Found this on the first playthrough by accident.

  • I tried to get in that room last night! Wish I could have. :(

  • i loved the trophy when you help the turret that was pretty funny

  • just watched the video and i thought there was something to do in there but i wasn't sure how to get in there

  • don't laugh at them, there just different.

  • Just another reason to like those turrets.

  • Bravo!

    The Turrets everybody!

  • you know who bluexephos is right? They have the most popular minecraft videos on the internet. IT is called the yogscast
  • Cave Johnson here. You know a lot of people complained about the "traditional" turret sound. Team Fortress 2 was barely tolerable because of it, everybody hates playing the engineer. Me? I play the heavy, if I'm playing online I'm going to be the center of attention. That's my style son, deal with it. What you play? Spy? Don't make me laugh. Anyway, I had the boys in engineering work this up. The singing turret! No more outside hiring for choir boys. Told Jaggar and Richards they'd have a lawsuit on their hands. You'd think old Cave never handled a lawsuit before? Amateurs. Cave Johnson, we're done here.
  • well that sucks im going to have to beat it...again before i can find this spot or i mean do this easter egg but it will be worth it and, no spoilers, but the end of the game was pretty sweet i love the new credit song too
  • Haha makes me want the game even more!

  • Haha!! Nice!

  • Aww, death has never been so cute.

  • -_- really? they just got this up? I found it day at three in the morning launch day and saw it up all over youtube by 7 in the morning.
  • i walked into that area and heard that song and was so confused! apparently i failed to look down.

  • That is so awesome! This just made me want to get the game more.

  • So that's what they do when we aren't there. -.-

  • They have a lot of time for practice, so naturally they sound pretty great.

  • I stumbled across this by accident and just paused to watch it to its end. So friggin adorable.
