    Ditto. That's the only point in the game that I played more than twice. I kept thinking, "What am I doing WRONG?" The line went from funny, to annoying and then cycled around to hilarious. It was ridiculous that I didn't notice that.

    I died there the first time because I made no effort to escape. I thought Wheatley was only going to attempt to hit me the one time, miss, and think he got me anyway. Mostly because of the part immediately before it.

    It is. I'm not sure what the reasoning is, but it's long established. Children do it, but adults somehow get in a mindset of not looking upwards.

    I think Valve does a great job designing environments. They obviously put a lot of thought into it. But at least two puzzles come readily to mind in Portal 2 that were solved once I finally looked up and saw something I hadn't noticed before then.

    Well, normally when trying to solve a problem we are acting under the assumption that we can only use things within reach, so we stick with thinking about things on the ground level. We have to get outside the box to realize that things above us may be useful.

    I'd like to point out a crazy theory via just running around in the game and finding things online.

    A) Chell is the daughter of someone at Aperture Science; her name is written behind the massive potato of the science projects from bring your daughter to work day.

    A1) Chell might be Caroline's daughter. The turret opera, when translated, has numerous references of 'my girl' and 'my child.' A problem with this would be that Caroline is 'married to science' which implies she's probably single.

    A1a) Good thing Chell is adopted.


    Also, if this game doesn't win some sort of award for dialogue or voice acting, I'll be disappointed.

    I dunno, the comic seems to imply Chell actually applied to be a test subject. That and if GlaDOS actually had access to the bodies of Chell's parents she'd probably have used them.

    And if In-Universe cloning did exist we likely would have heard about it during the portions of Old Aperture where they were struggling to find alternatives to Astronaut test subjects. Even if it would not be cost effective, it would have probably been mentioned.

    Don't quote me on that when they retcon it later...
    "So...the orphan attacked you?
    "Aye"
    "And so you cut him down with your axe in self defense."
