Game-ism.com has posted a Portal plot theory that, if correct, really turns the the entire experience on it’s ear. What they are proposing is that GladOS, after ostesibly murdering the working population of Aperture Science, has spent the ensuing time trying to condition the test subjects to murder her and free her from her bondage in the Lab facility as the author illustrates with the above rendering.
And then they went ahead and did their best to ruin my week. With the acquisition of both Bioware and Pandemic along with all of the donuts in the break room over at VG Holding Corp, EA has once again demonstrated that they will stop at nothing to assimilate and/or destroy anything awesome in their march to turn a fast buck.
But Gren, you say, isn’t that a bit harsh? You don’t know that EA is going to systematically rape and pillage these studios for their IP and fuck up whatever projects they have in development as only EA can.
Actions speak louder that works though, and EA’s history of acquisitions makes me nauseous when I think about my sweet, innocent Bioware locked in their loathsome clutches.
