Jonathan Coulton penning the Portal 2 song

[Guild McCommunist]

The composer of Still Alive, the infectious ditty that closed out Portal, has written a new tune for the impending sequel.

Songwriter Jonathan Coulton confirmed its existence with the following tease on his Twitter feed: "Closing the doors. If this plane goes down, the Portal 2 song goes with it. It is in my pocket..."

No further news regarding in what capacity the tune will feature, but you won't have to wait too long to find out. Valve's much anticipated sequel to its 2007 puzzler drops out of the ceiling on 22nd April.[/p]

This was a triumph.

Jippie!
His music is awesome!

 

[Schlupi]

You spelled his name wrong. =P

Should be a "O" on his last name, not a "A".

But sweet! Great to hear he is back.

I doubt any new song could surpass the almighty Still Alive song, but here's hoping that it gets close!

Nice, only two days before my birthday. Now I know what to ask

You're going to ask Jonathan Coulton to come to your house?

LOL, jk.
I kinda like the portal song and the qoute obviously.
QUOTETHE CAKE IS A LIE!

QUOTETHE CAKE IS A LIE!

The song never says the cake is a lie. It just says how delicious and moist it is.

This is pretty good news. I doubt another writer would have been able to live up to the first song, so who better to hire than the one that wrote it?

 

[Rydian]

The cake isn't a lie, BTW. It's right there in the ending.

This was a triumph.
I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS.
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.
Aperture Science
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 till you run out of cake.
And 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.
HAHA. 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.
I've experiments to run.
There is research to be done.
On the people who are still alive.
And believe me I am still alive.
I'm doing Science and I'm still alive.
I feel FANTASTIC and I'm still alive.
While you're dying I'll be still alive.
And when you're dead I will be still alive.
STILL ALIVE

I'd like to see them top that

 

[Paarish]

I honestly don't think he could top Still Alive. But we'll wait and see

The cake is considered a lie because GlaDos never intended to give it to you.
So the correct sentence should be "the cake promisse is a lie", but that's not fun to say. So the cake IS a lie because you never got it, ony that GlaDos b1tch ate it (btw, how could GlaDos eat a cake?

).

Also, on topic, good to hear that, but i bet he will suffer a big pressure now (so supress the Still alive popularity).

 

[Huguini]

Let's see if he tops Still Alive

Even Cleverbot is in on Still Alive!
