Okay, many of you will think I’m so weird for posting this but hey- we’re a family so we always have a crazy aunt. There is a computer game called “Portal” out there where the premise is that you have a gun that you shoot a wall in two places and you walk in one and out the other in an effort to find the super computer and destroy her- naturally robots are trying to kill you and everyone else while you do this- on the off moments when you’re not dodging for your life this computer voice tries to discourage you from your goals by saying things like “There’s cake in the break room…you’re going the wrong way to the break room…please proceed to the break room, everyone is waiting for you….now you’ve made me angry, the cake is all gone.” As the end credits roll and you’ve destroyed the computer in gouts of flame and explosions this is the song that the computer sings you (and the lyrics):
This was a triumph
I’m making a note here
HUGE SUCCESS
It’s hard to overstate my satisfaction
Aperture Sciencewe do what we must because we can
for the good of all of us except for the ones who are dead
but there’s no sense crying over every mistake
you just keep on trying until you run out of cake
and the science gets done and you make a neat gun
for the people who are still aliveI’m not even angry
I’m being so sincere right now
even though you broke my heart and killed me
and torn into pieces
and threw every piece into a fire
as they burned it hurt because I was so happy for you!
Now these points of data make a beautiful line
and we’re out of beta, we’re releasing on time
so I’m glad I got burned
Think of all the things we learned for the people that are still alivego ahead and leave me
I think I prefer to stay inside
maybe you’ll find someone else to help you
maybe black mesa
that was a joke, haha, fat chance
anyway this cake is great, it’s so delicious and moist
look at me still talking, when there’s science to do
when I look out there it makes me glad I’m not you
I’ve experiments to run, there is research to be done
on the people who are still aliveand believe me I am still alive
I’m doing science and I’m still alive
I feel FANTASTIC and I’m still alive
While you are dying I’ll be still alive
and when you’re dead I’ll be still alive
STILL ALIVE, still aliveNovember 17, 2007 at 9:35 am #637560That last paragraph is what I will be singing when I defeat you in Hawaii!! π
It actually sounds like a funny game. π
November 17, 2007 at 10:14 am #637561….man, now I’m going to go around humming that to myself all day tomorrow! π And now I really want to play the game…
