Cloudcuckooland: Difference between revisions

* Aperture Laboratories of ''[[Portal (series)|Portal]]'' and [[Portal 2|its sequel]] show a rather dark version of this. The original use of the portal-gun was for bath-curtains. They created a bouncing gel which was originally meant to be a dieting substance, but was pulled off the shelves, for, uh, unreleased reasons. Their on-and-off-switches for ventilation fans are powered by giant lasers. Their experiments may contain trace amounts of tumours, hallucinations, mantis men, time-travel, death, and [[The Cake Is a Lie|cake]]. They created GLaDOS to rule it, and ''that'' [[A.I. Is a Crapshoot|went well....]]

** The series doesn't have [[Minimalist Cast|a lot of characters]], but almost everyone we meet is a [[Cloudcuckoolander]]. We've got GLaDOS, the facility's omnipotent AI who's got a few screws loose, and cares only about science and bratty mocking. There's Wheatley, the slightly dense but sweet British robot who {{spoiler|was designed to make [[GLaDOS]] stupid, and goes evil when hooked into her body}}. Ratman was a scientist whose paranoid schizophrenia saved him, since it turned out that he ''was'' at the mercy of an evil robot, and with his love for the [[Companion Cube]] writes helpful and creepy messages on the walls. There's the testing robots, Atlas and P-Body, who are both overly playful, eccentric and oddly ''human''. The founder of the facility, Cave Johnson, was egotistical and stubborn, and a little bit hazy on the morals. Caroline, his secretary seemed sensible, except {{spoiler|she got turned into [[GLaDOS]]}}. Really, the only one at all "normal" is Chell, and she doesn't speak because of pathological stubbornness!
