9 Times Video Games Made You Look Like An Idiot
5. Portal 2 - Wake-Up Call
It is unknown what exactly transpires between the events of Portal and Portal 2, but after defeating GLaDOS, our protagonist awakens back in Aperture Laboratories to find that her once pristine habitat has decayed from years of neglect. We learn to our horror that we have been in stasis for an indeterminate amount of time, and rise shakily from our bed, confused.
It’s here we are introduced to Wheatley, a friendly bot core who comes to check up on us as the emergency systems activate and begin to relocate your room. Wheatley is very reassuring, telling us it’s perfectly normal to feel a little disorientated after months in suspension, and offers to help us tackle that disorientation.
A prompt appears that we can press to reply, but what really happens is you spring up from the ground. Okay, mate, what you’ve just done there was jump: how about you follow the next prompt and try to say “apple”.
Sigh, close enough.
