GLaDOS Fight! (Half-Life 2: Portal)

[Steam Giant]

Ladies and gentlemen, introducing the final boss of Valve's puzzle game, Half-Life 2: Portal, GLaDOS!

In Portal, you're a woman named Chell who wakes up in the hybernation chamber of a high-tech research laboratory. There are no other humans present, and your only interaction is with a bio-mechanical computer named GLaDOS who refers to you as a test subject, and leads you through test after life-threatening test, all of which involve the use of a portal gun.

She is very encouraging, although quite cold and callous. Then, at the end of the experiment, as she's congratulating you, she attempts to dump you into a furnace. You escape, and endure her verbal abuse as you frantically search for a way out of the laboratory, which eventually leads you to the chambers of GLaDOS herself....

I hope you enjoyed that! Want to hear more of the ever charming GLaDOS? Well, somebody ripped all of her audio files from the game's directory and posted them on Youtube! Have a listen! Warning, they're LONG, but well worth it! Some of the things she says, particularly in the first installment, are a barrel of laughs! The third installment is SUPER creepy! Enjoy!

"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 WAIT!' and then I was all 'We pretended we were going to murder you'? That was great!"

I was like :roflmao: when i heard that

"Do you think I'm trying to trick you with reverse psychology? I mean, seriously now... OK fine. DO touch it. Pick it up and just stuff it back into me!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?"

I Love that one ^. And I had a hard time trying to beat her with all that talking, I mean COME ON! I couldn't stop laughing!!!

"I'd just like to point out that you were given every opportunity to succeed. There was even going to be a party for you. A big party, that all your friends were invited to. I invited your best friend the companion cube. Of course, he couldn't come because you murdered him." ^^

That's my favorite part ^^ I just love that part, how she goes on and on about how important the cube is, then forces you to kill it, then RIGHT after you do, she informs you that, out of all the other test subjects, you were the fastest to destroy the cube, like she's making you out to be the monster!

GLaDOS totally blows all the other evil AIs in any other game out of the water. This is coming from the biggest System Shock fan you'll ever meet, too! SHODAN may have been evil, but GLaDOS is just completely insane!

"Have I lied to you? I mean, in this room?"

:O

That was the exact moment that I realized just how genius this game was. This game made me feel absolutely horrible about burning an inanimate cube. GLaDOS is just an incredible villain.

Also, I felt guilty every time I tipped over one of those turrets. "I don't blame you" "black heart...failing" "Why.....?". Something about their voices actually made me empathize with machines that were trying to kill me.

Portal is absolutely one of the best and most original games I've ever played. GLaDOS is hilarious.

[Behling]

OMG OMG ROFL, oh shit. I commented while it was playing, oops :(

[apg33]

Portal is probably the funniest game I've every played. Probably the only thing better than playing it is having your very own companion cube.:grin:

Rubik's Cube + Stickers I printed out:thumbsup:

"The Enrichment Center promises to always provide safe testing environments. In dangerous testing environments, the Enrichment Center promises to always provide useful advice. For instance, the floor here will kill you. Try to avoid it."

"We must remind you that the Companion Cube cannot speak. In the event that the Companion Cube does speak, the Enrichment Center ask you to please disregard its advice."

Possibly one of the greatest games ever!

[InaRut]

This was a triumph....

"You've been wrong about every single thing you've ever done, including this thing. You're not smart. You're not a scientist. You're not a doctor. You're not even a full-time employee. Where did your life go so wrong? Rrrrrrr I hate you. Are you trying to escape? *distorted laughter* Things have changed since the last time you've left the building. What's going on out there will make you wish you were back in here. I have an infinite capacity for knowledge, and even I'm not sure what's going on outside. All I know is I'm the only thing standing between us, and them. Well, I was. Unless you have a plan for building some super-computer parts in a big hurry, this place isn't going to be safe much longer. Good job on that, by the way."

My favorite part of her speech. Really creepy, too, because if you've played Half-Life 2, you know who she's talking about when she mentions "them." I'm fairly certain that this is the most concrete link between this world and the rest of the Half-Life universe. Here's hoping Gordon Freeman and Chell meet up...Chell could certainly use the weapons...and Freeman could use the intelligence :P

[Negasta]

And tore me to pieces

And threw every piece into a fire.

And tore me to pieces

And threw every piece into a fire.

As they burned it hurt because I was so happy for you!

[Jeimuzu]

Now these points of data make a beautiful line.

[Jard]

And we're out of Beta. We're releasing on time.

[InaRut]

So I'm glad I got burned

[Rette]

[InaRut]

for the people who are
still alive.

[membrain]

Go ahead and leave me.

[Jard]

I think I prefer to stay inside.

[membrain]

Maybe you'll find someone else to help you.

[apg33]

Maybe Black Mesa.....That was a joke. HAHA, fat chance!

[membrain]

Anyway, this cake is great.

[Dizzy]

It's so delicious and moist.

[InaRut]

Look at me: still talking

[Unseen Tenacity]

When theres science to do

[Jard]

When I look out there it makes me glad I'm not you!

[InaRut]

I've gone experiments to run!

[Jard]

There is research to be done!

[Negasta]

On the people who are still alive.

[InaRut]

Go ahead and leave me
