The world is full of mysteries, and shares too few of the answers required. An example of which, is how did I end up in the Brute Zone?

Aperture.

Non Nobis Nascimur - We are not born for ourselves.

Maybe Black Mesa. That was a joke, haha, fat chance.

"We live in a special time; the only time where we can observationally verify that we live in a very special time" - Lawrence Krauss.

I was a finalist :P

"When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what the hell am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"

In other words, Aperture Science.

still here

They would all be in a even war with the fact that they can just go into the console and type "noclip"

This world wants to drag you down... And the weight, that guilt they want to hang around your neck, you don’t have to carry it one more step. You think they won’t let you rest, but it’s not up to them. It never was.

Aperture because they didn't cause an alien invasion.

Going through the old ruins of Aperture Science in Portal 2 has got to be one of the most enjoyable exploratory gaming experiences I've ever had.

Quick as a razor, sharp as a bullet.

Black Mesa was a research facility before it was cool.

Or popular, maybe. Whichever the phrase is.

I graduated from high school on June-11-2011. I'm 19 right now. I'm turning 20 in December. I like playing video games, and board games. I like reading Sci-Fi, and World War II novels, and what not.

I keep on getting in conversations with a person who calls me John.

Black Mesa's the cool cat. Aperture's the underdog, and a superior one at that.

Remember those times when we all had something better to be doing, but didn't do it? Those were good times. Gooood times

Aperture... For one it can keep running without personnel... and could still entire ships without being caught

Proud Spartan II, COG soldier, Hero of time, and crowbar wielding scientist.

I saw Black Mesa had "Gordon Freeman" and "crowbars".
Yup.
