Re: Portal 2: The Cake Is Still A Lie
Spoiler
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.

Re: Portal 2: The Cake Is Still A Lie
Gonna go out on a limb and say that the new "the cake is a lie" meme for Portal 2 will be...
SpoilerI'm in space!
Though practically anything that comes out of Wheatley or GlaDos's respective mouths is hilarious. My personal favorite was
SpoilerGlaDos's reaction to seeing a second bird when she was a potato. Sadly, I can't recall the exact phrasing off the top of my head. Anyone willing to oblige me?Last edited by Yana; 2011-04-21 at 11:22 AM.

Re: Portal 2: The Cake Is Still A Lie
My housemate commandeered another housemate's game for a little while and I watched him try and play. He seemed legitimately oblivious that you could look up.
Even when I said the original Portal had a commentary node that said the hardest thing to get a gamer to do was look up... nothing. Didn't even register.
Props to Valve because God damn it I appreciate ceilings now.
Hell, my final housemate was playing it on the 360 and I watched him be clueless about where he had to go at one point because it involved going upwards. Something is hard coded into our heads, I swear.

Re: Portal 2: The Cake Is Still A Lie
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.

I can't get the phrase, "Turret has been thermally discouraged", out of my head.

Re: Portal 2: The Cake Is Still A Lie
I thought Portal 2 was fantastic.
SpoilerI'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.Last edited by Bobbis; 2011-04-21 at 02:04 PM.

Re: Portal 2: The Cake Is Still A Lie
SpoilerAnd 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."
"Aye..."
"I don't believe you."
"Damn...would ye believe that th' orphan was an alien?"
"No"
"Damn."
