It is not a coincidence that GLaDOS mentioned "bring your daughter to work day to have them tested" AND she was activated on the first bring your daughter to work day AND Chell is a girl.
It all fits together.
She is the daughter of an AS employee, kept in stasis for maybe about 20 years...
I just want to re-iterate that Chell is not an android.
She said that because the stage was configured for the android turrets. Keep in mind that the androids seemed to have their own AI personality, so its not unreasonable to have congratulation messages at the end of their successful stages.
GLaDOS killed everyone. Gabe mentions in the commentary that the red phone in GlaDOS's big room was there because there was supposed to be someone watching her at all times and if she ever showed signs of self awareness, that person was to use the red phone (and apparently that plan didnt work...
Flinging is really fun and I wish they had a lot more challenges that required you to fling... like multiple times in one jump too.
I want flinging maps that let me go farther, higher, and faster!!
Definitely cool. Its pretty understandable too, considering their anatomy. Their necks are very strong and agile, whereas there legs seem to be the weakest part, so it stands to reason that they would evolve to try and break their knees with their necks when fighting.
If the Ladder Theory were true, I would have had sex with all the sluts that came on to me years ago and I would have about 6 STDs. Also, my girlfriend sure as hell wouldn't have started dating me, I was unemployed and under my parent's dependency at the time.
THEORY = FAILED.
People, keep in mind that most headphones aren't rated to play sounds > 20kHz.
I could hear all the tones just fine except the last one, which was silent not because I couldn't hear it but because my headphones can't play that frequency. It was surprising they could even play the 21.1kHz...
its kinda true what the narrator said about hitler's speech techniques though... if theres one thing that hitler was (aside from crazy), it was a genius public speaker.
holy shit that did the trick. i couldn't see it spinning the other way (my brain seemed determined to see it counter-clockwise) until i looked at the shadow for a bit and for some reason when i looked back she was spinning clockwise!
edit: for awhile i had trouble getting her to change...
I would not worry. The fact that Valve has developed a program (steam) that allows people to enter in such critical information such as credit card numbers and personal information to buy games has not been overlooked by anyone. Valve knows how much of a popular target they would be against...
Valve can only give so much protection against stupidity. If anyone gives out their account credentials, whether it be on their own steam chat or on AIM/MSN, Valve can't stop them.
They can simply help rectify the customer's mistake by resetting the ownership after verifying identity.

This thread's title is misleading. The T2 explosion wasn't CGI at all... they used older techniques. Its proof that the makers of T2 were masters of their time... that movie STILL looks good even to this day.
great... he just HAD to be smoking weed at the time. here comes the anti-drug advocates with more "compelling evidence" to add to their list :rolleyes:
course its not real... why would they be sending a letter to his wife? what does she have to do with anything?
besides, most of those things are random things that aren't worth complaining about from a store manager. at most, if he becomes a true disturbance, they'll simply ask him to...
