Not enough people talk about the “announcer”. He’s really funny lol (the whole game is pretty funny tbh). My favorite line is the “if the laws of physics no longer apply in the future, God help you.” And this game is still a masterpiece in 2024 :)
i like to imagine he was the prototype to glados that aperture developed before caroline was uploaded. wouldnt it be funny if the voice for this announcer was taken from "greg" and cave johnson kept insulting greg so he wouldnt get too overconfident with himself?
4:32 I love this little piece of foreshadowing. When you find GLaDOS again after she gets put into the potato, she says at one point when she's trying to convince you to take her back to Aperture: "No tricks. This potato only generates 1.1 volts of electricity. I _literally_ do not have the energy to lie to you."
Although I can't help but just see this character as a deformed G-Man because of the half-life mod "G-Invasion" and the use of some of these lines for the hazard course

Eh i wouldn't say this counts because it's a preemptive message. But glados does mention the combine twice and I love that she doesn't acknowledge it that much.

took me a long, long time to find out that the 'Reactor Explosion Uncertainty Emergency Preemption Protocol' is just Aperture setting up an automated self destruct if the explosion timer for the nuclear reactor is lost, the comfort of now knowing exactly how much time you have left to live rather than dying without a clock that tells you
1:30-1:36 "All reactor core safe guards are now non-functional. Please prepare for rector core meltdown." I heard that quote in a few 20th Century Fox movie introduction logo gets destroyed by Reactor Core Meltdown videos. I hope Las Angeles doesn't have a nuclear reactor core. That would be bad.
