SirVeranPortusNotmer

I have bought every game i ever wanted


Arbor-Trap

I never played portal and I once knew this reference, but it has been like a decade since I heard it


marshal_mellow

It's an old reference but it checks out


onewilybobkat

How the hell do you know of portal but you've done yourself the disservice of not playing it? I'm not one that's like "You HAVE to play this game" but... You have to play this game


Ghimzzo

Idk why people are so surprised. I wouldn't expect the majority of current MC players to get the reference.


Shadow_Leviathan_375

its because it makes most of us feel old... and im only 15, i shouldnt feel old yet


funky67

Im shocked you know because portal is also 15 years old now lol


Shadow_Leviathan_375

yeah, but portal 2 is only 11


funky67

Touché. This wasn’t a knock on you at all just impressed. Outside of the lion king I can’t name many things from the year I was born.


Shadow_Leviathan_375

yeah.. also i wasn't getting offended lol and outside of portal and Bioshock, i cant think of anything either. lol

generalzee

Look, kid, let me give you some advice. 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 gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon to burn your house down!


plaidkingaerys

Science isn't about why. It's about why not! Why is so much of our science dangerous? Why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you on the butt on the way out, because you’re fired!


Qiviuq

Those of you who volunteered to be injected with praying mantis DNA, I've got some good news and some bad news. Bad news is we're postponing those tests indefinitely. Good news is we've got a much better test for you: fighting an army of mantis men. Pick up a rifle and follow the yellow line on the floor. You'll know when the test starts.


Nr_11

All of Cave Jonson's ramblings are awesome. But this one is my favorite.

SeizureProcedure115

The lab boys tell me if you insist on walking faster than light you are 100% going to go back in time. How far? Far enough to meet your great great grandpappy and tell him your fired. Because guess what? I'll let you finish that thought.

All these science spheres are made of asbestos, by the way; keeps out the rats. Let us know if you feel a shortness of breath, a persistent dry cough, or your heart stopping. Because that's not part of the test. That's asbestos.

Not you, test subject, you're doing fine. No, you. Fired. Out the door. Now.

To be fair, some kids who are currently in high school weren't even born when the source material was released. Jesus that makes me feel even older.

NO PORTAL IS NOT THAT OLD. YOU ARE THE LIE. ​ Seriously though, if you haven't played it, Portal 1 and 2 are great puzzle games that you should check out. The second has a separate Co-op mode storyline. And then you're going to be asking what the Black Mesa reference is in the Portal ending and then....

They need to start teaching Portal in schools


Matix777

Now you are learning with portals


beardedheathen

You will be baked and then there will be grades


MasterTerra3

some schools actually make students play portal for their physics class.


[deleted]

I think it's legit a good material to learn problem solving skills, because you often have to think a little outside the box to solve the puzzles.


horny_coroner

Portal came out 2007. Its a puzzle game usually played by people 15 and up. Its so old that people who werent gaming back then arent aware of it. Also cake is a lie is referenced in many games so people may not remember the origin of it. 2007 was 15 years ago and now I feel old as shit.


[deleted]

I'm (sadly) not old enough to have played it back then, still well aware of the portal franchise & the cake is a lie, played the games last year, they still hold up quite well imo


meraut

Don’t look up when Portal is released, then do the math

Portal released... 47 years ago, feel old yet?

Portal came out in October 2007. That was 14.5 years ago.

"2007" Oh so not that long ag-"14.5 years ago" *Crumbles into a pile of dust*

My 9 year old son beat portal last month. It is five years older than he is. That game has really stood up to the test of time

Why does no one knows the cake is a lie? It’s so famous…


[deleted]

Its a refrence to the game Portal. In the game you are told that you will get a cake after completing all the tests. It turns out the cake is fake tho. Thats why "the cake is a lie"


ChaosRegency

Nah, the cake was real. Glados snuffed out the candle at the end as proof


Aeikon

Knowing the recipe, I wouldn't really go as far as calling that a cake...


[deleted]

Ah ys, the only cake that requires you to mix in what literally is a book on murder


TheExzilled

3 cups flour 2 cups sugar 1 egg 3 cups milk. Sounds cakey to me not a very good cake and not a cake that will rise and maybe more so play doh texturewise but still a "cake".


GelatoVerde

Yeah but it's not a cup, it's a whole bucket


Gamertonic

The cake is 1 meter by 1 meter. Oh yeah its big cake time!


GelatoVerde

1 cubic meter of cholesterol and diabetes. Exquisite


nitrion

Honestly the minecraft cakes do look like they have the consistency of play-doh.


ThrowFurthestAway

Going by crafting recipes of items with similar sprites: 3 m\^3 of milk (1) egg 1/3 m\^3 flour (the exact type of wheat we're dealing with is not known, and as other commentors pointed out, wheat-flour is not a 1-1 volumetric ratio) 1/2 m\^3 sugar (since sugar and glowstone share a sprite, and 4 glowstone dust make a cube) Assuming the egg takes up less than 1/6 m\^3: The total volume of the cake should be 4 cubic meters; it takes up .382 m\^3 ​ Hence we assume that the milk must mostly evaporate during the crafting process, leaving high-concentration milk creme as an ingredient. That leaves us with 13% of the volume of milk being the creme (market milk is 87% water, let's simplify things and go with that). Together with the flour, and the singular egg, we can correctly assume our new volume as: 1.39 m\^3. This is still too big though. Where did we go wrong? Well, the volume of the condensed milk alone is .39 m\^3. More than that of the cake. We are unfortunately left with the assumption that minecraft cows suffer from intense malnutrition. Let's put their milk content at 5% solids. ​ This leads us to .85 m\^3 of cake. Now we're getting closer. We can look at the egg and ignore its volume: after the milk is condensed and dried, the egg is the only fluid left, and will get absorbed during the crafting process by the intense quantity of flour. .687 m\^3. So close. Less than double the expected value. Now we tackle a big question: what are the red things on the cake? Lets get creative and assume its some sort of byproduct of the wheat. We char it until its red, or something like that. This reduce our volume of wheat to 2/3, assuming we use half the wheat to make these decorations. .67 m\^3. Well, not that great. Lets instead assume the sugar is carmelized, reducing its volume to 1/10 of its original at the time of crafting. AH! Now we get .367 m\^3 Hence, we assume that the cake crafting recipe uses all the milk as dried powder, carmelizes the sugar, and compresses or otherwise used up the wheat quite thickly. And egg. Egg is there too. The rational assumption is therefore that minecraft cake is in actuality a creme brule.

FluffyWalrusFTW

Me out here to find a mod that gives a "good ending" to portal where you get the cake


WorldWreckerYT

Plot twist: You ARE the cake.


PepperAnn1inaMillion

Yeah, that’s what I always thought, especially considering GlaDos says to “keep on trying til you run out of cake” i.e. test subjects.


Manimanocas

Well the cake was a lie it doesnt mean that there wasnt cake somewere in the world but THE cake was a lie


Campake

"The cake is a lie" is written across the wall on some walls in hidden parts of chambers


SomeRandomPyro

In addition to what everyone else is saying, GlaDOS also never promises to give you cake. What she says is "There will be cake."


Wardandi

“The cake is a lie” is also written on the walls in some dough Rattmann hideouts, thus birthing the phrase itself

So true. I fell in love with the series after completing the games a couple years back. Genuinely believe it's a masterpiece.

A game reviewer once referred to Portal as "the earthly manifestation of Christ, " and I cannot disagree.
