I&apos;m currently sick, so my ability to finish a new video is paused for now, but this is something that&apos;s been requested (and that I&apos;ve wanted to do for a while): a re-edit of all of the important GLaDOS build videos from last year into one video without all the cruft.

  You could hook her up to a non toxic Halloween smoke machine to “dispense neurotoxin”

  Man you are so underrated, I spent a month making my own portal gun and learned a bunch from it but that now seems incredibly simple compared to this behemoth of a project. Incredible work and i look forward to whatever you make next

  I kinda think it would be cool if GlaDOS could talk back to you through a Chat AI with her staying in character with something like ChatGPT and then automatically generate her voice through a neural network. It would be amazing if she could keep her sarcastic killer AI vibes while you could use her as a smart home to control home gadgets. &nbsp;Maybe you could take inspiration from projects like Mycroft! And then she could greet you through computer recognition. I just wanna say I think the project you&apos;re doing are awesome and you deserve huge props. I&apos;d love to help if possible but these are some of my ideas.

  Dangerous, mute, lunatic for scale XD<br><br>Fun fact: Chell doesn&apos;t talk because she&apos;s too busy being angry and storming through the facility, this is canon

  you can add a small camera to her so she can recognize people. Meta workshop did this for the turret they sent to valve and it could use the camera to track and aim at people with the guns on the side. this way glados can rotate and look at someone. you can also try to get in contact with Ellen McLain to do some custom glados voices, she replies to some fan emails, im sure she&apos;d be interested in this

  This was a triumph. Huge success. It&apos;s hard to overstate my satisfaction.

  Glad0s is looking good, if you ever make a 3.0 or do a tweak to this one it would be cool if her eye could boot up like the core eye boot sequence.

  Love that Portal is still in the zeitgeist 12 years later

  I had started the project of building my own GLaDOS following the files you had posted a while back. They seemed like the older cad files instead of the finished ones so a few parts were missing. Its been fun remodeling the parts that were missing though. Its all 3D printed, and the spacers are made of dowels instead of metal tubing and threading. Still has some weight to it but much lighter. I chose to use a pi3 for controlling the lcd and servos as I had one on hand. You weren&apos;t kidding about the price being high though. But with it being all 3D printed, or wood, I was able to cut it down to about $250 in total, but will probably cost more with filler and paint. I still haven&apos;t finished modeling her neck assembly after the one you designed. Thank you for your hard work after just mimicking what you created I can appreciate far more the work that went into this. I have my own little bin of bad parts now too.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLTRyoFej20&amp;t=123">2:03</a> what&apos;s even better is that the LED looks fittingly like the small circuit eye you can see on PotatOS&apos; model in the game!
