Black Mesa vs. Aperture Science

Half-Life Series
#21

And someone has always eaten all the donuts!

#22

Other cons may include, cockroaches, soda machines malfunctioning and only serving Gordon Freeman, and monsters with long tounges that may be mistaked for light fixtures.

#23

BlackMesa. From what I understand, the retirement plan at Aperature Science sucks.

#24

But people keep eating all the donuts :frowning:

#25

Aperture…
Coz no one will ever blow up my microwave casserole.

EDIT: Black Mesa… coz they were winning against aperture for grant money.

#26

Black Mesa: RPGs, experimental weaponry, smgs, machine guns, grenades, pistols and the most powerful weapon ever created, crowbars.

Aperture Science: Portal gun

I think I would rather work for Black Mesa.

Off-topic: Why the hell the army didn’t try covering up Glados too?

#27

Black Mesa - There is no cake, but at least you won’t be baked. :slight_smile:

#28

Well at least they don’t lie to you like at Aperture

#29

who needs trams when you have a fucking portal gun you can use anywhere?

#30

But Black Mesa’s computers easily crashes… :stuck_out_tongue:

#31

Black Mesa seems so ghetto compared to Aperture but Aperture is too white and that would get annoying after a while.

#32

Can I just work there?

#33

The chance of death for either company is very high.

BM - resonance cascade, toxins, headcrabs and zombies, military, special forces, gman and his bomb, etc.
AS - glados, toxins, machinery, gas, energy balls, etc.

I’m sure you could name 100 other things that can kill you.

For me gravity gun wins over the portal gun. (this would make a cool mod - gravity gun vs portal gun)

#34

There was no grav gun in Black Mesa

#35

You mean the ties that are Faaabulous?
It’s actually a tough call, mostly because you don’t get to see more than 5 actual rooms of Aperture that aren’t test labs or maintenace hallways. Black Mesa, despite the RC, seems to be a lot larger and more interesting in terms of actual locations and equipment. I mean you launch a missile into orbit in Half-Life, then proceed to an alien world via teleportation - talk about a busy day at work. Black Mesa for sure, especially 'cause red ties are Faaabulous no matter what the haters say.

#36

Black Mesa, Because…

these vending machine so i can drink soda, and step on these goddamn roaches then mess with someone’s email.

#37

Don’t forget the casaroll. :smiley:

#38

aperture - they have a better theme song

#39

Quoting Freeman’s Mind doesn’t make you clever, just unoriginal. And to a lesser extent, obsessed.

#40

Aperture - What people don’t seem to get is that the workers aren’t the ones who are tested on, the subjects that the workers ruthlessly stalk, knock out, and kidnap are! I would also prefer Pre-GLaDOS era. I prefer being able to watch my subjects get disintegrated than a computer do it for me.
