Portal's GLaDOS Shows New Blue Screen of Death
GLaDOS... Still Alive.
Valve Software co-founder Gabe Newell was on stage at the Game Developers Choice Awards, where he accepted the Pioneer Award. During his time on stage, the computer-driven projection suddenly displayed what appeared to be a Blue Screen of Death.
Upon closer inspection, however, this was not caused by any Windows XP error; it was a warning from GLaDOS, the friendly computer from Portal.
At first inspection, it seems to just be a usual error message, but the a Penny Arcade forum member, as noted by Kotaku, converted some of that message from hex to EBCDIC to produce this:
GLaDOS
A fatal exception (S) has occurred at (U)(S) : (P)(E)(N)(D) in (U)(N )(T)((I)) *
(L)(E)(E)(E). The current application will be terminated.
* Press any key to flood the facility with deadly neurotoxins.
* Press CTRL+ALT+DEL again to reinstate testing. You will lose any
Non-vital personnel and their progress through the current test.
Press any key to continue _
Seems like further details on Portal 2 will be pending until E3.
Or better yet, make a HL3.
the cake is a lie...
the cake is a lie...
to be honest with you... i don't mind ^_^
knowing that there might be a cake and a party kept me going...
Looks like I need to break it out and play it again! :-) Shows you how much I like Portal when I'm going onto my 3rd play through and I almost never play a game twice if I beat it.
You can see the name in the last scene in the game after the big explosion.
