Doctor Freeman... [Spoiler Alert]

I purchased the Orange Box yesterday and finished playing through Episode 2 and Portal. While really good I was hoping for more even knowing how short Episode 1 was. Alyx doesn't die as trailers would have you believe and the scene where she hangs from the bridge was replaced by her getting stabbed by a Hunter at the start of the game. Eli gets killed at the end by an Advisor. I was hoping for more from the G-Man this time around but I'm not going to complain. There was a nice tie-in with Portal when Aperture Science's research ship is found in Episode 2.

I'd say more but don't want to spoil the game for anyone. :p

Anyone else get it? If so, what are your thoughts?

You've just said what happens in the end. How, therefore, can you not "spoil the game ", for fucks sake.....Put a spoiler warning in.

You don't want to spoil it, but you ruin the big ending?

You have no idea how much I laughed my ass off when I read your comments. There will be no spoiler warning, you and the rest of the gaming community here at NSG will screech in frustration at having some key plot points exposed to you while others are omitted.

The cake is not a lie. You get to see it at the end after defeating GLaDOS, you just don't get to eat the delicious cake because it is in a box that cannot be destroyed and is portalproof. The only way to get back into the facility and have the cake is to divide by zero while using the red phone.

We do what we must
because we can.
For the good of all of us.
Except the ones who are dead.

But there's no sense crying over every mistake
You just keep on trying until you run out of cake
Then the science gets done and you make a neat gun
For the people who are still alive

I'm not even angry.
I'm being so sincere right now.
Even though you broke my heart.
And killed me.
And tore me to pieces.
And threw every piece into a fire.

As they burned it hurt because
I was so happy for you!
Now these points of data
make a beautiful line
And we're out of beta
we're releasing on time
So I'm GLaD. I got burned.
Think of all the things we learned
For the people who are
still alive

Go ahead and leave me.
I think I prefer to stay inside.
Maybe you'll find someone else to help you.
Maybe Black Mesa...

That was a joke. HA HA. Fat chance.
Anyway this cake is great
It's so delicious and moist
Look at me still talking
When there's science to do
When I look out there
It makes me GLaD I'm not you

There is research to be done.
On the people who are still alive.

And believe me, I'm still alive.
I'm doing Science and I'm still alive
I feel FANTASTIC and I'm still alive.
And when you're dying I'll be still alive
And when you're dead I'll be still alive

STILL ALIVE

That was definitely worth it. Time to go have some cross-borehole electromagnetic imaging rhubarb.
