Portal (2007)
Facing the beast.
ppl are always like “no game is perfect you can’t please EVERYbody” but when was the last time you heard a motherfucker complain about portal
should have contained more portals. i was disappointed by the number of portals
z i hate to break this to you but you as the player are always in direct control of the amount of portals
The interesting thing about Glados/HAL 9000 parallels is that
Hal was conceived at a time when artificial intelligence was more of a fictional construct than a practical possibility. Hal is introduced as humanlike because the audience is familiar with and comfortable with humans, but they aren’t familiar with or comfortable with living computers. It’s when he starts acting robotic and calculated that the audience realizes “oh no, he’s a computer” and he becomes threatening.
By the time Glados was conceived, we had become used to computer automated systems. Synthetic voices offering us information is something we encounter in daily life. Glados is introduced as a computerized preprogrammed voice because that’s what the audience is familiar and comfortable with. It’s when she starts acting human and emotional that the audience realizes “oh no, she’s alive” and she becomes threatening.
Oh hey it’s this post again
I fucking love this observation.

Knight-mage Chell, portaling her way through an ancient dungeon full of traps
I genre-swapped Portal for an art challenge, and it may or may not have become a whole AU…and there may or may not be a part 2 on the way. Or should I say, a part DOS
Re-designing the portal gun and long fall boots into more fantasy-appropriate forms was a fun challenge
Round robot friends!
Portal wants to wish you a merry christmas.
I have waited literally all year to reblog this
What is heavier? A 200 pounds of bricks or 200 pounds of feathers?
The answer is the feathers.
200 pounds of bricks is just a bunch of bricks, but if you try to carry 200 pounds of feathers, you also have to carry the weight of what you did to those poor birds.
why did the cake is a lie become the like most quoted portal thing when literally everything glados said was funnier
Print I did for PRCC!
