Oh shi-! We are doomed! When Chell dropped the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device into the river she unwittingly reset the flux capacitor, thereby a relapse into formula negative zero thereby dooming the universe with her soft but massive blunder! I can already feel the effects! Time has no meaning, The sun is now a pistachio, the sky a layer of ice cream! ia ia Cthulhu Fthagn! ASDF !@#$%$#@#$% *explodes* :zombie:

You sure fell in love with Portal, didn't you? First the cake is a lie reference in Pebble and the Penguin and now this. I approve! =D

Yeah, it's obvious you played that game recently and really liked it Doug. I'm making a note here, HUGE SUCCESS. XB
Seriously though, this was a good episode. I loved Dominic's reactions to Chell's story and that bit where he pulled out a piece of cake and Chell shot herself was perfect. Very nice job and I'm GLaD you enjoyed it.
(Sorry, I just can't resist with the Portal references) =D

10.01.2010 - 13:18 | SqueejeeAnd was "Cake or Death" an Eddie Izzard reference? SO MANY REASONS to five star!

Wow, Doug is a Portal fan. Who knew? Wouldn't have guessed the small bit in PiP would be a foreshadowing.

09.30.2010 - 23:52 | ginger0215
Simply put, the video is a lie!
-
It's true. Totally against canon, atleast I think so. Chell is in Portal 2, right?
Hilarity insues regardless! :psychotic:
-
10.01.2010 - 17:07 | WhyAreThere#sInMyName23
Yes, but that takes place immediately after the first. Like, within minutes.
-
10.02.2010 - 14:36 | LazyLordUmm, are you talking about Portal 2? There's a little bit more time between Portal 1 and Portal 2 than just a few minutes...try more like a few hundred years.

What a coincidence. Protal is my favorite game and Doug does a video on it. Neat. I loved playing Protal all day long. I would never get bored of Protal. Gee I love saying Protal as well.
-
09.30.2010 - 23:57 | TheBlackMage
Obviously somebody messed up the spelling. This is meant to be Chell from Kirby's Adventure.
-
10.01.2010 - 10:51 | Semudara
It's...it's called Portal, not Protal. Have you really been calling it that all this time?
Although, I can't argue that "Protal" is fun to say. Protal! Heh. You win this one.
Anyway, glad to see Doug loves the Portal as well. He is one of us now, and there is no hope for him to escape. Clearly, this was adapted from the original ending of Portal, where Chell actually escapes, instead of the revised ending. Which there's nothing wrong with, by the way; J.R.R. Tolkien did the same thing.

I'll have you know I read your whole post in Yahtzee's voice in my head.

Of course Doug is a Portal fan. As Spoony said, there are two kinds of people:
People who love Portal, and people who haven't played Portal.
-
My brother has tried Portal and hasn't cared to play it more than once for a few minutes.
I've never and will never play anything from Valve. I know, "I'm missing out" right? Hahaha.
-
10.01.2010 - 00:02 | crystarrLoved the cake pun! :D
-
10.01.2010 - 00:03 | Bob SakamanoSo I'm sittin' there, tending bar...hahaha. One of my favorite series. Keep it up Doug!
-
10.01.2010 - 00:12 | YarumasiI hated portal but loved this review
-
10.01.2010 - 02:32 | Toreka
Yeah, this "review" was great... =_=
-
10.01.2010 - 16:05 | Virgil_theBadassPoet
Yes it was Toreka. :whisper: And we can do without your bad attitude thank you very much. I've never played this game but I liked this sketch.
Hey Doug. Y'know a game that would provide a gold mine of opportunity? Kingdom Hearts. Though, is this only classic games? If so then another request would be Pokemon or Kirby.
-
10.01.2010 - 18:22 | TorekaYou know I was responding to the comment above, right? It's not a review, thus the double quotation marks.
-
So, recently I was in Dallas visiting family and the GPS my friends and I were using told us first to make a U-turn...at a juncture where U-turns are illegal, then it told us to turn right...while we were on a bridge.
GLaDOS is real...and she hates me.
-
10.01.2010 - 00:23 | gameLink12you forgot the wierd legbrace things she had on srry just noticeing very funny though
-
10.01.2010 - 00:24 | MetalGearSamus
=D Excellent. I love these videos, more then your normal one's actually...mostly because I'm an avid video game fan.
-
10.01.2010 - 00:25 | Edit Death
What, no companion cube joke? For shame... Still a great one as usual though. In fact, let me some up my thoughts on it.
:music: This was a triumph. I'm making a note here. Huge success. It's hard to overrate my satisfaction. :music:
-
10.01.2010 - 05:55 | HokutoNoBen
Isn't it "overstate" instead of "overrate"?
-
10.01.2010 - 21:28 | Edit DeathIs it? I always seem to get it mixed up. Both work so well at that point.
-
10.01.2010 - 00:24 | WarxePB
That was quite entertaining. I really like the idea that Chell is just some crazy janitor who imagined all of those events.
-
10.01.2010 - 00:28 | NCscriticI've never played portal so I don't really get the cake thing. someone care to fill me in? (no pun intended)
the Glados thing is rather obvious, that's the name of the evil computer, right? yeah, I get that, but what's with the cake thing?
-
10.01.2010 - 01:20 | fireninja237
at a couple points in Portal, GLaDOS assures you that cake will be made available after the testing is done, and in several places throughout there is a red scrawl on the wall that says "The cake is a lie", because at the end of the testing, GLaDOS tries to kill you. Also noteworthy is that shortly before you realize what's going on, a picture of cake is shown.
BTW: I absolutely love this series (in addition to all your shows =D )! Keep up the great work, Doug!

I just posted the video below, but here is a good summary in song form:

Chell was promised cake after the testing, she never got the cake therefore the cake was a lie.
-
11.07.2010 - 21:03 | JackitK
Well the cake is a lie. :P
-
10.01.2010 - 00:29 | WarpThe cake is alive!

10.01.2010 - 00:33 | Deans_peanuts
Alright i dont want to sound like a prick but Chell cant end her life right there... what about portal 2? - even if shes imagining it all she still needs to run trough portal 2... well she might of imagined the whole encouter with Dominic thing but that would end in a world where nothing is real... who? who am i?
-
10.01.2010 - 09:12 | QuestionTheMajority
Oh, good. We have another Solid Snake problem on our hands. =_= It's a joke, man. It doesn't have to make a lot of sense. Every single one of these Video Game Confessions videos completely screws with continuity for humor's sake. That's kind of the point.
Anyway, nice touch at the end with GLaDOS being a new GPS program, Doug. Gives the same vibe of uncomfortable dark humor at the end of the sketch that the game has at the end. Ah, GLaDOS... Even as a fictional character, you continue to instill us all with horrific fear at the very mention of your name long after we've completed your game. Die a thousand horrible deaths, you sociopathic computer.
-
10.01.2010 - 21:32 | Edit DeathGiven the fact that she was being tested by a computer with no sanctity for human life, the soul, or other issues of morality, why don't we just say Glados cloned Chell and it's the clone in Portal 2? There, a Solid Snake solution for a Solid Snake problem.
-
Your wrong believe me when I say this I love portal,but I can't take guesses toward my beloved games, there fore I will use official quote from valve about te' storyline/plot
"In Portal 2 the player returns as Chell, having been in stasis for several hundred years while GLaDOS and the rest of the Aperture Science facility has fallen into disrepair. Chell is awakened by one of GLaDOS's personality cores, and inadvertently wakes GLaDOS; GLaDOS is immediately displeased at Chell's return and begins testing her again through numerous chambers as she rebuilds the dilapidated facility. Portal 2 continues to challenge the player through numerous platforming and physics-based puzzles using the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device." there mindfuck avoided thank you,thank you! :drunk: =D
-
10.01.2010 - 00:48 | MalfyI wouldn't trust cake from a bar either, really. At least she'll be reunited with her lesbian lover, Companion Cube, in heaven. Or hell, if those pesky pastors are right about the lesbos.
-
10.01.2010 - 09:15 | QuestionTheMajorityI could explain this at length, but I don't care to get into philosophical discussion on the internet for obvious reasons. I'll just keep it short and say that sexual preference has nothing to do with it.
-
10.01.2010 - 12:31 | emichaelIsn't the companion cube male?
GLaDOS "I invited your best friend the Companion Cube. Of course he couldn't come because you murdered him."
-
10.01.2010 - 01:10 | Themonsean
LOL. That was fantastic! This, was a triumph. I'm making a note here: Huge success.
-
10.01.2010 - 01:32 | XatikeBest song for Portal:
http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=b6Q_koTHB54
Purely...awesome.
-
10.03.2010 - 01:04 | XatikeWhy is this getting a thumbs down? :(
I merely found something interesting and decided to share it with all us ThatGuyWithTheGlasses fans. Since it was to the topic, and a lot of people seemed not to know her story, I thought this would be a good idea.
It's not like I didn't watch the video and posted "FIRST11!!1". Instead I watched it, enjoyed it, specifically went to my favortied videos on Youtube, and thought I would share like I do with friends.
What's the harm in that?
-
10.01.2010 - 01:37 | foxbomber5
I didn't know she had a name. I thought she was "Random Orange Jumpsuit Lady". Wonder how she comes back in the sequel if she bit the big one.
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.
-
10.02.2010 - 16:40 | LostInPhilly89I guess you missed the part where GLaDOS tells Chell that her whole memory is on file. Chell is a clone. GLaDOS was using Chell and her clones as entertainment for tens, if not hundreds of years.
-
10.02.2010 - 20:41 | Qarx"Aperture Science Laboratories is required to remind you that Android Hell is a real place that you will be sent to at the first sign of defiance"
-GLaDOS
Sorry, you just reminded me of that quote, that's all =P.
Heh, did anyone else think of Chell from Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force? "They know we're here now..." XD.
-
10.01.2010 - 01:38 | True PerceptionNice Eddie Izzard reference!

That was unexpected... great episode Doug!

But you forgot her leg braces!
[img]http:// halflife.neoseeker.com/w/ i/halflife/thumb/0/0b/ Chell.jpg/250px- Chell.jpg[/img]
Those leg braces let her reach terminal velocity and then zero velocity with zero damage to her knees! =P

Maybe she took them off when she escaped the lab...Or she dropped them in the river too. XD

Wow! Portal episode! Does that mean we're gonna see Gordan Freeman next or possibly some HALO RVB?
-
10.01.2010 - 20:16 | Philip J Fry
Gordon Freeman would be good seeing as how he doesn't talk

In the same way "White Rabbit" explains Alice In Wonderland as drug-induced hallucination, this actually makes total, total sense to me.
That's why I loved it.
