* [[All That Glitters]]: Done sarcastically by GLaDOS at one point near the end of the Co-Op campaign. Where she claims that even though {{spoiler|she'll get all the credit for rescuing the humans}} the bots still have the trust they formed throughout the test.
* [[All There in the Manual]]: The ''Lab Rat'' tie-in comic bridges the gap between the two games, as well as resolving the fate of the mysterious "Ratman" who scribbled on the walls. It also provides a lot of backstory, if you read between the lines, offering a possibility for where GLaDOS got the neurotoxin to begin with and explaining why Ratman drew cats on the walls in the sequel. {{spoiler|1=GLaDOS claimed to be experimenting with Schrodinger's Cat.}}
* [[Alternate Reality Game]]: Continuing from the changes to ''Portal'', on [[April Fools' Day]] 2011, the plot thickened with "[http://valvearg.com/wiki/Valve_ARG_Wiki PotatoFoolsDay]", in which 13 indie games on Steam (the Potato Sack Pack, including ''[[Amnesia: The Dark Descent|Amnesia the Dark Descent]]'', ''[[Audiosurf]]'', ''[[Bit.Trip|BIT.TRIP BEAT]]'', ''[[Defense Grid the Awakening]]'', ''[[Killing Floor]]'', ''[[Meat Boy|Super Meat Boy]]'' and ''[[
* [[Alternate Universe]]: The [[Excuse Plot]] for the PeTI DLC is that Aperture is nearly bankrupt, so to save on test chamber construction costs, they sneak the designs into an Aperture in an [[Alternate Universe]], let ''them'' build it, then steal it back. In nearly every one of these alternate universes, Cave Johnson is still CEO/Prison Warden/Matriarch/Whatever of Aperture (except for one where it's Doug Rattman).
* [[Aluminum Christmas Trees]]: Apparently, the moon rock poisoning Cave Johnson was afflicted with is a real hazard. Lunar dust is just as destructive to human lungs as [[Irony|asbestos]], which means like Cave, you will suffer a slow, horrible death if you breathe too much of the stuff in. The effects are similar to silicosis, symptoms of which are displayed by Cave.
