Aperture Science vs Black Mesa ; Who would you work for?

Aperture had great R&D but they never got around to selling anything. All that amazing stuff they created was just used for endless portal testing, and they never did manage to perfect even that before GLADOS murdered them. Black Mesa knew how to be an actual business rather than just a research lab.

I suppose if I had to work for one or the other Black Mesa would give me a slightly higher survival chance, though not by much.

It's a difficult decision, you know. Do I choose death by neurotoxin or death by being riddled with bullets?

Think there ist more fun at Aperture Science

I'd work for Black Mesa because I might get the chance to meet the one freeman!

Black Mesa. Heard they had a good dental plan.

Black Mesa.
Money, research that's actually wider. (they made portal-like device too, and they made super laser gun, I don't really remember the name though)
Freeman. Chance of meeting Aliens.
Awesome stuff! ;)

So either work at aperture and possibly be adbucted by a rogue robot and put through a series of tests with the possible outcome of death, or work at black mesa and possibly experience an experiment going horribly wrong, aliens invading through a portal and having to go to anotehr planet to sort it all out and then surrendering your life to the gman, all with the possible outcome of death?

Black Mesa vs Aperture is really more like PC vs Mac.
You know how the PC seems less advanced but can actually do more shit than mac and is cheaper?

And how mac is a million times more expensive than PC just because It's made out of titanium and is aimed more towards homosexuals?

This is why i just prefer my old rusty but reliable PC... Erm, Black Mesa.

Aperture :D I'd rather die of neurotoxic than alien crab eating my face. Plus Aperture did Science! and stuff. Black Mesa did boring stuff. Also Cave J. is a best boss ever.

GLaDoS rlz, so I choice Aperture Science.

Tough call. Assuming they both paid the same and I'd have the same job, I'm going to have to compare them based on disaster scenarios. Aperture seems safer in terms of not being sent to another world, but chances are I'd be "volunteered" to get my blood swapped for gasoline. Black Mesa is near impossible to escape when disaster strikes, especially when the "rescue" is actually sent to wipe you and your friends out, but there are more weapons around so I'd be able to defend myself.

TL;DR - Whichever has cleaner bathrooms.

Aperture tortures with puzzles - Black Mesa tortures with guns.

I'd go with Aperture - The guinea-pigging might be fun :D

Having to chose between mandatory lunar poisoning and opening a wormhole for alien invaders?

I love my body, let the planet burn.

I'd like to go to Black Mesa but I'd be afraid of my food exploding in the microwave.

where do i sign up to get teh crowbar in black mesa

Hmm... It is a really tough decision, since aperture science never got to sell anything, while mesa wasn't into science that much rather than the profit which they could make out of it. Still... What if they merged? I mean BM bought AS since they had a better budget and stuff. Anyways.. I would work for them if they merged.

BM, if i worked for Aperture I'd be dead.

Although, actually I'd also be dead if i worked for BM.

Sucks.

Black Mesa.

Well, considering Barry managed to save a group of scientists from Black Mesa, I think I'd rather work for Black Mesa if not for that chance that I might not die a horrible death.

I'd rather work for Aperture Science. Sure, Cave Johnson is insane, GLaDOS is more insane, and Wheatley is just a ball of insanity, but... hey, they're finally cancer-free.

FREE CAKE!

Valve

Umm...neither? They both ended in catastrophes where everyone died.
