Aperture Desk Job - All Grady Extra Dialogue Lines

[@sundalosketch4769]

Also how the heck is he so patient and sweet?? He's been nothing but supportive and positive, even when getting plunged in a toilet multiple times.

[@P-Nokota]

Makes sense as it’s a tec demo for well.. new tech and the people who would be using a steam deck might not be as experienced with controls or even played a game at all.. so being patient and friendly is needed and it works

[@chillwithwill2236]

Didn't he like not give you a choice on what job you wanted to do (talking to the police or fixing the turrent), and set you up so you could go to jail saying "REMEMBER, YOU NEVER SAW ME!" . I'm not saying he's bad it's just everyone leaves that detail out. He's still nice though

Grady is proof that aperture AI aren’t inherently evil. Which means Wheatley did really want to escape with you, the mainframe is just horrible as proof with Wheatley, glados, and cave Johnson

Grady isn't a proof of anything, robots are just tools to achieve human goals.

[@ArstotzkaEmpire]

Humans are creators and superior than robots, robots will always follow their masters.

[@BlueRGuy]

@@ArstotzkaEmpire unless if robots become sentient and start obeying their master order, which could lead to an AI Takeover. But that's very unlikely to happen considering how buggy AI actually are

[@MuddyPuppy26]

@@BlueRGuy Well, we're talking about Aperture AI, which are sentient, and they don't take over, unless there is a burst of extreme power, as when Glados and Wheatley where hooked up to the facility, they tried to kill and take over, to which Glados was successful once. When Cave first got his power, he went mad. I'm assuming that when Cave was alone he was able to harness his powers, which a why he didn't try to kill you.

[@rayclay3249]

@@augustday9483 Though in the final fight against him, he's shown to be quite smart as well like watching the tape of how chell defeated Glados and coming up with counter measures along with booby trapping the button in case he fails to stop chell. It's just that his intelligence only goes so far and he couldn't even spot the massive oversight of there being a tube in the room that Chell could use, I bet if the tube/gel weren't there he would've succeeded in killing Chell

Cave: "Do we have a core who's personality is just "vibing"? If not, make one by 3pm and make him the color of my favorite flavor of soda: Neon Blue. God Neon Blue is tasty. Also while you're at it, get a patent on the flavor Neon Blue. We need more food that's unnatural colors. I'm sick of rice not being blue. Oh yeah, Chariots, chariots."

Came here after finding out Nate Bargatze voices this character and it feels weird reading the comments and seeing people not know he's a comedian and a very clean one at that. So it makes sense why everyone mentions that Grady is so nice, warms my heart.

Hello folks!

[@xXx_Regulus_xXx]

Grady reminds me of a couple of nice people I've worked with, I like him. Glad Valve still has their brand of comedy down when they feel like making a game

[@Pluvillion]

He’s the type of guy who’ll sit with you and will listen to whatever you tell him as you both lounge at the balcony watching the sunset. He’s calm, understanding, supportive, and patient. A complete polar opposite to Wheatley who is jumpy, all over the place, rather reckless, hyper, and… moronic. I’d love to see more of him someday! If he’s my tutor/professor/instructor I’ll seriously listen to him no matter how long it takes.

8:15 At the end of the game when Grady and the player get new names and appearances, doesn't Grady get a dragon tattoo, along with his mustache? Edit: I had not seen the rest of the video, and I saw the part where he decided the skeleton hand, I still thought it was a dragon tattoo, so I checked, and yeah, he got a skeleton one. Nice reference Valve.

If Grady sounds goofy, I may have an idea about why he trips over his words! 1. The fans of the v.o. actor (Nate Bargatze) are pretty sure he's dyslexic! On his podcast (Nateland), sometimes he does the same thing when he tries to read something! 2. Maybe Valve just had him read (all of) these lines off of a sheet of paper and his dyslexia caught up with him- that's my guess at why Grady's constantly tripping over his words!
