Quote:

Sid, PSB: Are you sick of “the cake is a lie?” Are you over it?

Erik, Valve: Well, it’s not like we’re angry about it! It’s flattering that people latched onto it like that. It’s more that we figure everyone else is most likely sick of it. Internally, we thought, “if we go back to that cake well, people are going to be livid!” Actually, I don’t know if they’d be mad — they’d probably be sad. It’d be so pathetic, you know?

Thank god.

I'll repeat it since it's pretty much the appropriate response: Thank God.  

[Paper Sonic]

Me too!
Thank god.

I think I'm gonna get the PS3 version. I want to play it on PC for the controls, but c'mon

Cross-platform play and voice chat, and ******** SPLIT SCREEN? AWESOME

and it comes with the PC version anyway so might as well

So what you're saying is... the cake really is a lie this time?  

[Xilo The Odd]

what is this CAKE you speak of? is it a promise? is it a gift? is it a hope? is it a dream? does it come with ice cream?  

[Rad Electropow]

The cake is some of your hats from TF2 porting over to P2 to be worn be the Co-op robots.

So you have to pay for emotes and character creation tools...

Why is valve charging a base price of 50 again?

Also, that s**t sells, man. Valve will definitely keep making stupid jokes for moneyz.

This an tribute type shirt sold out in under 2 hours minutes, after launching at midnight central. This is incredibly unusual, but it just shows how much people like portal related things, and "cake jokes."

I bet that the phrase "The cake is a lie!" is more well known than portal itself. This is a safe bet to make, because it's beloved by so many people who haven't got a clue what portal is, or is about.

Sold out.


What sellouts.

Actually, there is a reference to cake, but it is very well done and it made me lol. It's not just GLaDOS saying 'DERP HERP, THERE'S CAKE', or any scrawlings on the wall about cake.

Anyway, these days it's all about the potatoes. wink

I just started it and saw a painting of cake, ******** LIARS

as long as they're not shoving it down my throat though, like ******** "HEY REMEMBER IN THE FIRST GAME WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT CAKE AND IT WAS REALLY FUNNY DURR"
