“Here come the test results: ‘You are a horrible person’. That’s what it says, ‘a horrible person’. We weren’t even testing for that!”
“Oh, It’s you.”
Never thought a robot could throw so much shade with just three words.
Portal was my first thought too!
Anything Glados from Portal 1/2–still one of very, very few games to actually make me laugh. But also the Cave Johnson “when life gives you lemons” rant comes to mind, because it’s both funny and poignant.
Everything in Portal 2 is gold, but if you shout out both GladOs AND Cave, I feel like Wheatley deserves a mention as well.
“Most test subjects do experience some cognitive deterioration after a few months in suspension. Now you’ve been under for… quite a lot longer, and it’s not out of the question that you might have a very minor case of serious brain damage. But don’t be alarmed, alright? Although, if you do feel alarm, try to hold onto that feeling because that is the proper reaction to being told you have brain damage.”
Yes, I honestly can’t believe I didn’t mention him. It’s really a testament to what a fucking gem that game is. God. So much greatness packed into such a short time.
Favorite Glados ones:
- “We both said a lot of things that you’re going to regret.”
- “That thing you burned up isn’t important to me; it’s the fluid catalytic cracking unit. It makes shoes for orphans… Nice job breaking it, hero.”
And Cave Johnson:
- “When life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons! Demand to see life’s manager!”
- “Science isn’t about why. It’s about why not.”
Had to look it up to refresh my memory:
-
“Nice job breaking it, hero.”
-
“You are not a good person. You know that, right? Good people don’t get up here.”
-
“Here come the test results: You are a horrible person. We weren’t even testing for that.”
-
“Congratulations on beating the odds and somehow managing to pack on a few pounds.”
You really need the full 2-minute audio of the lemons bit to get the gist. J.K. Simmons did an amazing job balancing funny and, “oh shit, am I…sad???..during the silly, funny puzzle game!?”

You might also enjoy The Stanley Parable, it’s a very similar kind of humor, I recommend going in blind, as the game is a lot about exploring watching a funny dialogue in a video removes the fun out of it being a reaction to something you did.
“Well, This is the part where he kills us.”
“Hello. This is the part where I kill you.”

i need to play portal 2 again
Good god what an incredible sequence that was to play through for the first time. I was so busy laughing that it was, in fact, the part where he killed me.

The creepy gait of his voice gives me goosebumps every time.

One of the best parts of the series
You must construct additional pylons.
Words to live by.
Followed by your own words of “oh shit, oh shit” when there’s also an incoming Zerg rush at the same time
Memes are the Artosis pylon of my sanity.
Wololo.
Such a convincing argument, you have won me over… Why did my clothes change colour?
On the mention of age of empires:
I have this very clear memory of a voice shout/sound effect within the score that goes like: “URRRRRREPP!”
My friends didn’t remember that or it wasn’t memorable to them. To you know what I mean?
War… war never changes.
War has changed. It’s no longer about nations, ideologies or ethnicity. It’s an endless series of proxy battles, fought by mercenaries and machines. War - and its consumption of life - has become a well-oiled machine.
There’s a reason I’ve started this game about 100 times.

Lots of good bioshock quotes, but the standout:
We all make choices, but in the end our choices make us
I’m here to kick ass and chew bubblegum. I know it’s from a carpenter film, but I heard it first in Duke Nukem.
“Hmm, don’t have time to play with myself.”
Always a classic.
… and I just ran out of bubble gum. :-)
Duke 3D is really quotable.
This was a triumph
I’m making a note here, “Huge success”
It’s hard to overstate my satisfaction

For the good of all of us, except the ones who are deadAlright, I’ve been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I’m the man who’s gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I’m going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!
I wonder ehat Cave Johnson would make of Slug from Atmosphere’s line “When life hands you lemons you paint that shit gold”.

“How are you gentlemen?”
You forget a thousand things every day, make sure this is one of them.
