Wow! I loved this article.
I played the entire portal game, and read all of the comics.

I seriously thought I was the only one to notice that GLaDOS said “AGAIN, welcome to the aperture-” and I thought I was the first one to think that Chell was the one who wrote all of those messages. Then the party associates caught her, near the end of the game, and erased her memory. I also found the guy who said that the entire testing thing was a scheme to get the morality core out very interesting… It makes sense.
If Portal 2 wasn’t announced, then here’s what I think would happen.
In the updated ending, some robot with a freaky fricking accent thanks you for assuming the party escort submission position. So, here’s how it goes:

You wake up in the detention center, GLaDOS does some blabla stuff. Very quickly, you see that GLaDOS was evil, and try to inform the next test subjects by “rat-man” hidey-holes. GLaDOS threatens you with…certain things. You then realize you can’t stay in one place much longer, so you continue the test. But GLaDOS is trying to keep tabs on you, so you destroy the security cameras, and store them in your 2nd hidey-hole (hence, the security cameras in that ratman room) so GLaDOS can’t find you. You continue to the fire pit, where you barely escape alive. Then you leave all kinds of directions (ie: the arrow signs, ‘THIS WAY ->’) to where you’re supposed to go. Near the end, the Party Escort Bot catches you and erases your memory; but no cleanser-robot finds the messages you left. So then you wake up in the detention center, with GLaDOS not saying the things that made you realize she was evil. For a while.

I picked up orange box a couple weeks ago and started playing it as soon as I got home. It was awsome! Everything was great except for the lengh of the game. Its to short, but the rest is great! Btw, the theory was great.

P.s. Did u no you can buy portal without buying the whole orange box? (And no, I didnt just get portal.)

To 31.dom: I certainly hope no one who HASNT played the game reads these comment… How about a spoiler alert? Unlike other games, the credits in Portal, really is part of the experience, you know….

after you defeat GLaDoS though the screen goes through a load of tunnels and it goes to a dark room with loads of balls on the shelves, there is a cake with a burning candle on, so the cake maybe wasn’t a lie but then all the balls light up in the middle, just like the cores in GLaDoS, so they may be spare cores for her so they (or she) must have known that chell or someone would have destroyed them but then a mechanical arm snuffs the candle, GLaDoS?
then the credits roll.

I certainly don’t buy the Chell is an andrioid deal. The only time Glados calls you that is when you complete the test chamber designed for military andrioids, thus the scripted line upon completion would be for an andrioid. As for what happened to all the other people…a mystery, but if you notice in the final room there does appear to be a red emergency phone. My guess is someone was forced to sit there and watch her to make sure the morality core was working all right. The phone is slightly damaged though, which suggests some form of emergency caused an evacuation. If she killed there, where are the bodies.
