die.

>>322619712
Why did this shit become some sort of example of "lol xd so randum" humor when in the game itself it was a sort of morbid aside that alluded to the fact that you were gonna die horribly?
>>
>>322620265
Normies with their lack of subtlety and nuance and their shitty normie tier sense of humor.

You guys sound pretty mad over absolutely nothing.

Portal has amazing atmosphere.

I'm not wrong.

Better go get yourself evaluated for autism

this
You can't just say "lol de cake is a lie XDXDXD", there was a buildup in the game to WHY the cake is a lie. Its not inherently funny or interesting.

>>322621090
I thought the connection to the hl universe was more interesting.
>>
>>322621041
While I despise the pathetic /r9k/ mentality of hating normies, it is mostly true that the meaning of "the cake is a lie" was lost when retards started spouting it as a "gamer meme."
>>
>>322621268
Half life 3 fucking never

>>322620265
a successful meme is one that frees itself from requiring knowledge about the source and context from where it came

>Being so counter-culture that you start hating people who hate normalfags

You are more pathetic than robots.

Before they were "normies" they were normalfags, and we've always disliked them because they legitimately ruined every joke we had.
>>
>>322621338
lol its not a successful meme then
>>
>>322621521
>implying I'm not so counter-counter-culture that I hate people who hate people who hate normies
>>
>>322621521

4chan is predominately "normie." Ergo your continually browsing of 4chan simply affirms your acceptance of "normies."
>>
>People don't remember all the cake is a lie spamming that everyone did

/r/ screengrabs of people asking others if they had even played the game

The answer is they didn't.
>>
>>322621268
I thought it was stupid since the universes are pretty different in tone, but it doesn't really matter since, as the other anon said, HL3 fucking never.
>>
>>322621208
>getting mad at the use of a word

Maybe you should get checked out senpai.
>>
I'm probably the only person that didn't like Portal
The ending sequence was alright but it took way too long to actually get to for it to have the same impact something like Half Life did
>>
>>322620774
>>322621041
You're both autists
>>
>>322621878
It's pretty obvious hl3 is coming out at some point. Leaks have pointed to it, and even gabe has indirectly said it:

>>
>>322622846
Fuck off with that video, it's a joke about how 3 will never come out
>>
>>322623156
Not likely.
>>
>>322621935

What? The game is super short.
>>
>>322623831
it still takes a full hour, or maybe half an hour if you blaze through the puzzles, to get to the actual part of the game
in comparison, half life 1 takes 10 minutes to shove the cart into the beam and start a cascade resonance
>>
>>322621740
Also requesting that pic of reddit where a girl posts a pic her portal gun for cosplay and then admits she never beat Portal even though she's a big fan.
>>
>>322620265
Because as morbid as it all was, it was handled in a slightly silly matter to invoke some dark comedy. I mean, it is centered around a cake after all, and there's many instances of dialogue and situations where it's all handled with comical effect which makes it stand out a lot more since the whole game takes place in a lonely cold facility.

Unfortunately, the humor was misinterpreted and it just completely spiraled out of control. Not even Valve were too appreciative about the cake thing, to the point that they only threw in ONE cake reference in Portal 2 just to end it all.

This thread makes me feel bad for being a Touhou secondary

/b/ and /soc/ aren't the only boards anon.

>>322620774
Normal people are fucking weird.

Back when you first played Portal, could you imagine that it will go down in history as the first meme ever?
