Recently, we presented the top 10 best video game fan films and it appears we have a late entry that could rival them all. Outside Aperture portrays Chell's grim existence after the events of the original Portal. It appears that while she has physically escaped the taxing experiments of the Aperture Science labs, mentally Chell is still a prisoner. As she sits alone in her apartment, she nonchalantly uses the portal gun to handle hilarious mundane tasks and the film has many easter eggs—filling out the last name of Johnson for example—to keep the Portal fanboys entertained. The production values in this film are top-notch accurately portraying the various vantage points the portals can create. While the mood is disturbed for much of the piece, it does end on a happy note and we’re glad Chell finally got to have her cake and eat it too.
