Portal - Still Alive (1440p)

Lyrics:
This was a 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
'til 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 learned!
For the people who are
Still alive
Go ahead and leave me...
I think I'd 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
And 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're dying I'll be
Still alive
And when you're dead I will be
Still alive
Still alive
Still alive.

Casting GLaDOS was a challenge: They had to find someone who could mimic the monotone voice of AI but also be able to sing. Thankfully, they hired Ellen McLain who is not only a terrific actress but a professionally trained opera singer. Ellen's versatile vocal range not only made GLaDOS memorable but also the sentry turrets. Portal has good replay value and time and it's because of Ellen's voice.

[@jackbelk]

скажу, как у нас в России: Уитли озвучили, наверное, даже лучше, чем в оригинале, но GLaDOS.... Её голос получился СЛИШКОМ неестественным. Да, она говорит хорошо, но в её речи и фразах нет никаких эмоций даже тогда, когда они были и в оригинале. Не знаю, может это и лучше, но оригинал мне больше нравится

[@Jormundgandr-jg5xg]

I have always wondered what that last "still alive" means, because it is not written in the data as the rest of the song, so I came with a little theory of mine: We can see that in the line "that was a joke, haha, fat chance" the laughter is not written, and maybe it is because it is an actual emotion a computer cannot code? It makes sense to me, because that last still alive feels more organic that any other line she says in the song. Like, not with a voice so flat with actual emotions put in it. So my theory here is that in all of the song, GlaD0s was saying she was "alive" as a way to saying she was still operating. But that last still alive she says is because she realizes she can feel emotions such as anger, hatred or curiosity, and that last still alive was her saying she was actually alive. This is just a crazy theory of mine hahaha, but I think it would be cute.

[@rocktoo7603]

Well she did gain emotion during portal 2 so this theory is pretty likely.

[@thestephano27]

maybe it could also be that Caroline, the deepest part of GLaDOS, speaks here, here being part of her personality and showing how Caroline really was before she was turned into GLaDOS by the scientists of apertune science.

[@saltystick_99]

@@thestephano27 Ooh, I like that. That little bit of human in GLaDOS bleeding out in her most defeated state.

[@TwoEyesToListen]

That unironically makes a lot of sense

[@Codename-Thefox]

portal 2 kind of confirmed this with the Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System gaining emotion ps:GLaDOS stands for Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System for those who don't know

What's even better than Portal? Watching someone who can't wrap their head around how it works try not to go nuts.

[@pug_bot8326]

Yes, trying to see someone take in the story and lore of portal in its entirety very quickly is like trying to fill a water balloon with a fire hose, too much insane information at once. Very epic Valve, Very epic.

[@Trainboy1EJR]

@@pug_bot8326 What was so complicated about it? Aperture Science (portal) was a business rival to Black Mesa (Half-Life). Long story short, Aperture made the portal gun, ran some tests with no regard to human life, connected Glados to Deadly Neurotoxin for some reason, everybody else ceases working, Chell wakes up, runs the gauntlet and smashes the sassy computer! XD It's practically the same thing as the Marines' Bat Bomb in WW2, some dentist thought napalm on bats was a good idea, they forgot to disarm the fuses for a test drop, burned their entire military base to the ground, some Marine was like "This is the best burn rate I've ever seen! I'll be taking over the project!"

[@dragongal9714]

It's so interesting to me how for most of the song GLaDOS sounds rather content, but in the song Want You Gone, she shows a bigger range of emotions, showing how she has changed from the first one to the second game.

[@kaysrandomchannel4618]

Yeah.

[@ambrosiaplatypus]

Remember when Valve promised a sequel and actually delivered it?

[@orcaboi1558]

THE YEAR was christmas 2009 , my grandmother had found this game in a cheap pc gaming bin at a local gamestore and gave it to me thinking i would like it. and boi it shaped one of my favorite puzzle games of all time. my grandmother passed away in 2016 and with the switch release coming out i am excited to finally relive the game that made me LOVE puzzle games in the first place.
