Portal’s Still Alive

Have you played Portal?
No? Then go to your room and don’t come out until you have!
Yes? Then you have earned the right to enjoy this song (currently my ringtone) once again.

Me, i would just like to dedicate the song to Filaman, his 360 and his flat for giving me one of the most memorable gaming moments of my life.

Lyrics - click link below

This was triumph.
I’m making a note here:
HUGE SUCCESS.
It’s hard to overstate
my satisfaction.
Aperture Science
We do what we must
because we can.
For the good of all of us.
Except the ones who are dead.

But there’s no sense crying
over every mistake.
You just keep on trying
till you run out of cake.
And the science gets done.
And you make a neat gun.
For the people who are
still alive.

I’m not even angry.
I’m being so sincere right now.
Even though you broke my heart.
And killed me.
And tore me to 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 have learned
for the people who are
still alive.

Go 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. (ha ha) 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 alive.

PS: And believe me I am
still alive.
PPS: I’m doing Science and I’m
still alive.
PPPS: I feel FANTASTIC and I’m
still alive.

FINAL THOUGHT:
While you’re dying I’ll be
still alive.

FINAL THOUGHT PS:
And when you’re dead I will be
still alive.

STILL ALIVE

    I absolutely loved that song and infact I have never enjoyed sitting through the credits of a game more than those of Portal. To be honest that doesn’t do it justice though….the writting in the game and the song at the end really bumped up the experience for me.

    I know you said that you couldn’t really listen to the monologue, I can’t remember if that was because Filaman was snoring or you were not focusing on it, but if you get the chance try a few of the levels again as its worth it.

    Did you managae to play any of the bonus content you unlock at the end for finishing the game?

    Yeah i think if i was at my flat i might have been more concentrated and listened to GLaDOS’ comments. On the other hand i don’t think i would have pushed myself to finish it in one sitting. Which was freaking awesome i might add since i only left Portal once my character left. It really felt that i was imprisoned and wanted out. We had become one. I didn’t go to sleep, while he was still there (only went to the fridge for a 7up and a few ions).

    I haven’t played the bonus content as it is on Filaman’s console. I will play it again though on my console to unlock everything.

  3. Mardas Says:

    LOL…..didn’t think of it like that, with you being “trapped” in Filaman’s flat! I found those advance stages quite tough, it would be good if we try and go through them at the same time.

    Where did you get the ringtone from dude and how much….I want it too.

    P.S ION…..mmmmmmmmmmmm…beauties!
