Spot on MKJ:
When Portal 2 was officially announced on Steam on March 5, 2010,[1] several alphanumerics were underlined in the text, as part of the Portal ARG. When reorganized together, these letters give the words "drattmann" and "h0nee", which are a second set of username and password for the BBS number (425) 822-5251. Upon entering them, one has access to data that will eventually give access to a program to read Aperture Image Format files, an interactive graphics format created in 1985 and maintained by Doug Rattmann, owner of the "drattmann" account. This Doug Rattmann may be the Ratman, although it has to be confirmed. He may appear in Portal 2 as he was to appear in Portal, but again it has yet to be confirmed.

And let's be honest: Gabe is really, really big.
