  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,778 ✭✭✭✭Kold


    Yup yup. Just sat in awe. Her bitching was pretty entertaining too.

    My favourite quotes from Portal:

    "The experiment is nearing its conclusion. The Enrichment Center is required to
    remind you that you will be baked, and then there will be cake."

    "I wouldn't bother with that thing. My guess is that touching it will just make
    your life even worse somehow. I don't want to tell you your business, but if it
    were me I'd leave that thing alone. Do you think I'm trying to trick you with
    reverse psychology? I mean, seriously now. Okay, fine, DO touch it. Pick it up,
    and just stuff it back into me. Let's be honest. Neither one of us knows what
    that thing does. Just put it in the corner, and I'll deal with it later. That
    thing is probably some kind of raw sewage container. Go ahead and rub your face
    all over it. Maybe you should marry that thing since you love it so much! Do
    you want to marry it? WELL I WON'T LET YOU! How does that feel? Have I lied to
    you? I mean, in this room? Trust me. Leave that thing alone. I am being serious
    now. That crazy thing is not part of any test protocol. Where are you taking
    that thing? Come on, leave it alone. Leave it alone. Just ignore that thing and
    stand still. Think about it. If that thing is important, why don't I know about
    it? Are you even listening to me? I'll tell you what that thing isn't. It isn't
    yours, so leave it alone."

    "Neurotoxin... *cough* So deadly... *coughs* Choking... Hahahaha... I'm
    kidding. When I said 'Deadly Neurotoxin', the 'Deadly' was in massive "sarcasm
    quotes". I could take a bath in this stuff, put it on cereal, rub it right into
    my eyes. Honestly, it's not deadly at all. To me... You on the other hand are
    going to find the deadliness a lot less funny."

    :D:D:D

    [Test Assessment Report:]
    "This was a triumph
    I'm making a note here
    HUGE SUCCESS!
    It's hard to overstate
    my satisfaction.
    Aperture Science
    We do what we must
    Because we can
    For the good of all of us
    Except the ones who are dead

    But there's no sense crying
    over every mistake
    You just keep on trying
    'til you run out of cake
    And the science gets done
    And you make a neat gun
    For the people who are still alive

    [Personnel File Addendum:
    Dear << Subject Name Here >>,]
    I'm not even angry
    I'm being so sincere right now
    Even though you broke my heart
    And killed me.

    And tore me to pieces
    And threw every piece into a fire.
    As they burned it hurt because
    I was so happy for you!

    Now these points of data make a beautiful line
    And we're out of beta
    We're releasing on time.
    And so I'm GLaD I got burned
    Think of all the things we learned
    For the people who are
    Still alive.

    [Personnel File Addendum Addendum:
    One Last Thing:]
    Go ahead and leave me
    I think I prefer to stay inside
    Maybe you'll find someone else
    To help you.
    Maybe Black Mesa...
    THAT WAS A JOKE HAHA! FAT CHANCE!
    Anyway this cake is great
    It's so delicious and moist

    Look at me still talking
    When there's science to do
    When I look up there
    It makes me GLaD I'm not you
    I've experiments to run
    There is research to be done
    On the people who are
    Still alive!

    [PS:] And believe me I am still alive
    [PPS:] I'm doing science and I'm still alive
    [PPPS:] I feel FANTASTIC and I'm still alive
    [FINAL THOUGHT:]
    While you're dying I'll be still alive

    [FINAL THOUGHT PS:]
    And when you're dead I will be still alive.
    STILL ALIVE!
    Still alive!"

    I <3 portal!

    Didn't we have some fun though? Remember when the platform was sliding into the fire pit and I said "Goodbye" and you were like "NO WAY" and then I was all "We pretended we were going to murder you. That was great...

    What a freakin ending:D

    Can honestly say I'v never laughed so much while trying my damndest to kill an end game boss
    Go ahead and rub your face
    all over it. Maybe you should marry that thing since you love it so much! Do
    you want to marry it?

    Genius!

    Also loved the bit -
    When you're throwing the balls you knock off her into the pit they all have different personalitys - especially the last angry bastid!

    I actually don't remember laughing so giddily as I did when those end credits started rolling. If this was a film, people would be quoting it left, right and centre. Unfortunately, few of my friends are gamers so none of them get it when I go up and warn them that "the cake is a lie".

    They'll realise some day...
