I can't wait for Portal 2. I hope I find some time to play it when it's released this Christmas.

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

Night night.

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...)

It's even more annoying that it's impossible to be mad at you.

"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."

I might have heard the term once or twice, but I never related it to a video game. After all, the internet spawns all sorts of weird axioms. There is no spoon.

Well yea, "The cake is a lie" comes from Portal. GLaDOS keeps telling you that she'll give you cake when you finish all her increasingly crazy and dangerous tests. At a couple points you break out of the test areas and see graffiti scrawled all over the walls that says "THE CAKE IS A LIE!"
In my opinion though, the cake is not a lie.

The cake is a lie. Never trust a sentient AI.
