Default Portal Update - new achievement, Mind Screwing ahoy

http://steamcommunity.com/stats/Portal/achievements/

Right at the bottom. There's been a flurry of Steam forum speculation on the whole meaning of this.

It's a progress achievement, 26 things you have to do. There were radios that played a version of Still Alive in various places in the game... now there's new ones. If you pick them up and take them elsewhere, at some points they start playing something else... either Morse code or strange computer beeps.

Apparently the beeps are SSTV images (whatever that means), which come out as things like these:

http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/4015/dino8.png
http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/8295/dino20.png
http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/3913/dino26.png

Those images will probably get deleted due to heavy traffic soon, but meh.




So, there are 3 conclusions what this may lead to:
A) Portal 2.
B) Half-Life 2 Episode 3 (yeah whatever)
C) Valve trolling us.

Why do they have to be mutually exclusive options?

Because Valve already did their 100-year Mega Awesome with the Orange Box. Wait another 98 years.

EDIT:

Everything seems to point towards some sort of code that brings the experience outside of the game. The main theories so far is a pathway to a oldschool style BBS connection, or server, or something older than IRC... other is a Fax or Telephone number


EDIT 2 : It seems to be a Telnet number (425) 822-5251.


EDIT 3:



The system version is 3.11 1200 which you COULD put as March 11 - 2010

EDIT 4:

Login and password are "Backup"

Uh-oh. I finally got out of that damned experimental center, beaten the crap out of Glados with my bare hands and maybe a PC I managed to smuggle in, and now she's in o-ur telnets, bakkin up her data.

And of course Aperture would have an old school back up system. Their founder suffered from Psychosis induced by lead poisoning and their AI is powered by dead steal a wish foundation and counter-Heimlich maneuver victims.

A glimpse into his madness:

I call this spotty at best... might be official, might not... take it with a grain of salt.

Why?

Because of this
