Happy Birthday, Steve & Gary!

A new year has arrived, along with, as usual, a birthday for everyone's favorite foul-mouthed portal turrets. The Inkwell's got some new polish on it, along with lots of white, grey, and red streamers and balloons. There's also an "Aperture Science Turret Redemption Unit" sign hung up above the door outside, which elected some flat "Ha. Ha."s from the boys.

Still, it's a party, it is fun, and everyone is welcome! Let's celebrate!

AL shrugs. "Seems that it took you longer to beat Madness Returns, though maybe it was just because your laptop was having problems at the time."

"The alter ego played a game or two like that, that had a bunch of dialogue within the action. The Prince of Persia games for Wii and Playstation 2 if I recall. You'd be doing something, then the Prince would decide to monologue for a bit. Often you want to just stop in your tracks and just listen cuz sometimes it's funny."

"Woop, sorry," AL says quickly. "I guess be lucky you weren't one of them...or two of them as the case may be?"

"Urgh, don't remind me," Vic mumbles with a shudder. "And there' was some more sidepath stuff in Alice. And more fighting. Portal's all about the puzzles, and if you solve those quickly. . ."

She snickers. "I know. Portal's got tons of dialogue like that. It can even kill you in some instances -- the final boss can come pretty close to out-talking at least one of the final timers if you give him the chance. I'm pretty sure he could run out the last one if allowed."

"Yeah -- we weren't crap turrets, we were regular turrets two jokers took off the production line and gave different AI to," Steve explains. "Since we have working gun, we were saved the fate of 'redemption' once SHE took over."
