Portal’s Still Alive performed in Guild Wars 2 – a time-wasting triumph



God bless those brave pioneers willing to embark on an awesome/thoroughly silly project simply because… well, what else are you going to waste your time doing? They truly make life better for all of us. Here’s a rendition of Portal’s Still Alive, performed entirely by YouTuber Marflas1′s Asura using Guild Wars 2′s Wintersday Bell and Pipe Organ. It’s strangely appropriate, given that the Asura are all about the science.
The song uses the in-game sounds, with some slight pitch editing in Audacity. According to Marflas1, “Somewhere around 40 bells were used in the creation of this video, mostly due to recording at tonnes of locations before picking the clips I liked best. Recording all the parts probably took about 3-4 hours in total, spread over a period of several days. Sound + Video editing to pull everything together took…a long time. A long, long time.”
Thanks, Kotaku.
