I don't qualify as a teen, even if you were to add the digits of my age (the sum would be less than 13). So, I feel like I'm corrupting underage youth or breaking some stalking law if/when I post in the teen forum. Heck, I have a niece who is 20--and she's the child of my younger sister!

However, I strongly suspect you could get a quorum of people to say that I qualify as a Creepy Alien. [img]http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/public/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif[/img]

Oh well. You aren't a teen, I'm a babysitter, you aren't stalking us, and I still don't have a driver's license (which strongly I suspect is because the priests of the FSSP would revolt and march against me every trying to get one...)


I like this subphorum [img]http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/public/style_emoticons/default/lol_grin.gif[/img]

I figured this one could use a bump.

Don't die on me forum. I can be an alien, and I can be creepy too.

[SanctitasDeo]

I am not really a teen either; I am posting in this thread out of pity...

That song actually inspired me to buy the game, and it was definitely worth it.

I was just so intrigued by how strange the song was. I wanted to see how they could possibly have it make sense. It worked.

I think the part that disturbed me the most was the

"except those who are dead"
"but there's no sense crying
over every mistake"

I know, it's funny.

The person singing, by the way, is a character in the game. A big computer network with artificial intelligence. She's programmed to be manipulative and disturbingly nonchalant about killing people.


"In Portal, GLaDOS acts as the narrator and guide for players. She is the player's only link with the situation they are placed in; at the game's start, GLaDOS introduces the player to the game's Enrichment Center and the physics of the portal gun. In later stages of the center, GLaDOS admits to having lied to the player about their progress, as part of a supposed 'test protocol.' GLaDOS slowly becomes more sinister, and the player's trust in GLaDOS is tested when the AI directs the player into a testing area populated with live-fire turrets, a course designed for military androids. The AI claims that the regular test chamber is unavailable due to "scheduled maintenance". GLaDOS uses the lure of cake and grief counseling to encourage the player to continue, but at the final testing area, as the player prepares to receive the supposed cake, GLaDOS attempts to incinerate the player in a fire pit. Once the player escapes, GLaDOS attempts to reconcile the player, claiming the pit was a final test. The player then travels through the bowels of the Enrichment Center, battling natural hazards and further turrets until they reach GLaDOS's chamber, where the final battle occurs, in which the player dislodges special Modules (each also voiced by McLain, with the exception of the final Module, which is voiced in a guttural fashion by Mike Patton) and incinerates them. Upon incinerating the last Module, a portal malfunction occurs in GLaDOS' chamber, launching the player to the surface while apparently destroying GLaDOS. However, the final scene shows a room filled with more special modules that begin to light up. They surround the cake that GLaDOS had promised Chell. A mechanical arm descends and extinguishes the cake's candle. This suggests that GLaDOS is still alive via the modules and could rebuild herself. The end song, "Still Alive", further suggests that she is still alive."

My iPod wont let me view the video, but your discription of the game sounds positively freaky. I'm quite content with my Mario thank you

And which is why I found it slightly-oh please excuse my horrible choice of words-very disturbing!

It's all part of the game atmosphere. You're such a hater.

Night night.

[Jesus_lol]

it all makes sense when you actually play the game.
