        • unicronband, on 02/19/2008, -3/+100For the good of all of us,
          except the ones who are deaf.
          • Terr01, on 02/19/2008, -7/+22But there's no sense signing over every mistake
            You just keep on trying even though you can't spake
            But the spoofing gets done
            Even with a stupid pun
            By the people who are still alive.
        • carstairs, on 02/19/2008, -6/+32But there's no sense crying over every mistake,
          You just keep on adjusting until you get the right bass,

      • DigggerAK, on 02/20/2008, -1/+0It's a HUGE Success,
        Aperture Science
  • danajstrom, on 02/19/2008, -0/+58Why is it that I want to shoot missles at it?

    ...oh yeah.
  • kd5ftn, on 02/19/2008, -6/+32I suppose the points of data made a beautiful line, because it looks like the speaker set is out of beta and releasing on time.
    • TraumaDrama, on 02/19/2008, -3/+4Upmodded for going above and beyond the usual one-liner.
      • Vindexus, on 02/19/2008, -1/+6Upmodded?
        • HolyChimp, on 02/20/2008, -0/+1"Captain, I'm upmodding the comment, but the dilthium crystals cannae take it!"
  • mhopgood, on 02/19/2008, -1/+47Here's the site: http://www.proclaimaudioworks.com/proclaim.htm
    Warning -- these puppies will set you back a cool $26,000.00 . If that's what you're into.
    • theaceoffire, on 02/19/2008, -0/+21More if you drop them into a emergency intelligence incinerator.
    • ThinkBox, on 02/19/2008, -0/+10for that much you could get some nice companion cubes and give them to the homeless as charity.

      They could use them to build structures for shelter, and talk to them for companionship!
      • Takfam, on 02/19/2008, -0/+8The enrichment center takes this opportunity to remind you that the Weighted Companion Cube, while suited for granting shelter to those without shelter, cannot speak.
    • ChromaVita, on 02/19/2008, -0/+7And the site is down... nice
    • vdubski, on 02/19/2008, -0/+4These speakers were actually out before Portal was released. I saw them on a top 10 list of weirdest looking speakers about a month before the game was out.
  • afidler, on 02/19/2008, -0/+48Let's just hope one of those pieces is a morality core so it doesn't flood your enrichment center with deadly neurotoxin.
    • joegibes, on 02/19/2008, -1/+7...if you know what I mean ;D
    • pyro789x, on 02/19/2008, -0/+3I was never able to afford to buy an enrichment center..
  • cnot3, on 02/19/2008, -0/+39Better keep the incinerator handy....
  • markbrown, on 02/19/2008, -2/+6She's kind of an asshole.
  • billmill, on 02/19/2008, -3/+4I want to marry that thing!
  • chetanthaker, on 02/19/2008, -5/+10I thought I killed that bitch !!
  • staxofmax, on 02/19/2008, -3/+134Does it come with a companion cube subwoofer?
    • surKaz, on 02/19/2008, -0/+16If Proclaim Audio Works did this without realizing they were creating GLaDOS, then they soon will realize that when they get contacted by about 50 nerds in a week talking about morality cores and cake.... Maybe then they will release a companion cube sub woofer.... and maybe lower the price for nerds..
      • bbardlbradd, on 02/19/2008, -0/+15"talking about morality cores and cake"

        GOLD.
  • Ph0biA, on 02/19/2008, -22/+3If Only I Could Read More Portal Quotes On Digg That Have Been Widely Overused And Lost Its Meaning.
    Hopefully, the sound on these wont lose their quality over time, like the portal quotes.
    • ThinkBox, on 02/19/2008, -0/+9Debbie Downer Alert!
    • GrammarNazi3000, on 02/19/2008, -0/+9Negative Nancy!
    • billmill, on 02/19/2008, -0/+14You sir, were adopted.
    • qnnmq, on 02/19/2008, -1/+14Remember when you were like 'blah blah blah' and we said 'dug down' and you were like 'Blah blah blah!' and then we were all 'We're going to bury you!' and then we did? That was great!
    • wire02, on 02/20/2008, -0/+2He needs some cake...
  • BruisedGhost, on 02/19/2008, -0/+15they better come with cake
    • Merp08, on 02/20/2008, -1/+2the cake is a lie
      the cake is a lie
      the cake is a lie
  • LiquidIse, on 02/19/2008, -0/+8$26,000 a pair eh?
    More info: http://www.gspr.com/proclaim/dmt100.html
    • Cerpin_Taxt, on 02/19/2008, -1/+5"Audiophiles" are ***** dumb
      • badjoke, on 02/20/2008, -0/+2What do you mean jars full of pebbles won't improve sound quality?!
  • wop4life, on 02/19/2008, -10/+1This was a triumph
    I'm making a note here:
    • dcd722, on 02/19/2008, -5/+2Huge Success
      Its hard to overstate my satisfaction
      • Niubai, on 02/19/2008, -0/+9NOOOOOO STOPPPPP. There's already one Portal lyrics thread at the top. STOP !!!!
      • ChazHollywood, on 02/19/2008, -1/+1No no no. Just stop right here.
      • someone173406, on 02/19/2008, -4/+1Combo breaker.
  • illuuu, on 02/19/2008, -0/+29WARNING:
    Only for those of us who are still alive. Useless for dead people.
  • Lynxplus, on 02/19/2008, -0/+32The site is certainly NOT Still ALIVE!
    • Laxaloot, on 02/19/2008, -0/+8Didn’t we have some fun though? Remember when the website was sliding into a 503 and I said ‘Goodbye’ and you were like ‘NO WAY!’ and then I was all ‘We pretended we were going to be temporarily unavailable’? That was great.
  • DangerIsGo, on 02/19/2008, -8/+1It's hard to overstate my satisfaction
    • JudgeMonkey, on 02/20/2008, -0/+1Actually it would be pretty easy to overstate my satisfaction if I said I was satisfied at all. 26k for speakers? That's just disgusting.
  • D3koy, on 02/19/2008, -1/+10For $26,000 they had better be like 7-10 feet tall and have amazing sound quality
    • Firehed, on 02/19/2008, -0/+17For $26,000, they better make me cake.
    • booshack, on 02/19/2008, -1/+1For $26,000, they had better post humorous puns.
      • rnnbob, on 02/19/2008, -0/+2[ insert worth while and humorous pun.] - GLaDOS
  • Dentyst, on 02/19/2008, -10/+0Title is a spoiler to some
  • neiltc13, on 02/19/2008, -5/+2Joanna Dark doesn't approve.
    • Raziel66, on 02/19/2008, -1/+7Why is she on digg? She needs to focus on making a game that isn't a piece of ***** like that last one.
  • bbardlbradd, on 02/19/2008, -0/+18For $26,000, why not just make a real GLaDOS?
    • someone173406, on 02/19/2008, -1/+3You'll need a lot more than that.
    • Motocompo, on 02/19/2008, -4/+1eh... GlaDOS was comparable to an Apple lle
      • KloroFormd, on 02/19/2008, -0/+5Yeah, I've seen plenty of Apple IIe systems that are capable of processing artificial intelligence.
        • countingthedays, on 02/19/2008, -0/+3I knew I wasn't the only one whos apple did that!
  • apasco, on 02/19/2008, -1/+2thats just a phasing problem waiting to happen...
  • ControlcChris, on 02/19/2008, -21/+5This 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, HA HA, FAT CHANCE.
    Anyway this cake is great.
    It's so delicious and moist
    look at me still talking when theres 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 your dying ill be still alive
    and when your dead i will be still alive
    still alive
    still alive



    There now we dont have to sing it.

    • theragu40, on 02/20/2008, -0/+1Is *that* what the digg effect means?
  • huntr2, on 02/19/2008, -1/+5http://www.pinktentacle.com/2008/01/pollen-robots/
  • plash, on 02/19/2008, -0/+6$26,000 a pair and they can't get a decent web host ?
    • JudgeMonkey, on 02/20/2008, -0/+1I could sell a can of soda for 10k and not be able to afford a good host. Who the hell would buy it? (Sadly... someone would.)
  • Goldmann099, on 02/19/2008, -1/+1she will warm up the deadly neurotoxin
  • PenguinWrangler, on 02/19/2008, -0/+2::cough:::...so deadly...
  • popjack, on 02/19/2008, -12/+21If Orange Box were PC only (i.e., not released on consoles) comments to this thread would be 40% more intelligent. Just a theory.
    • hobbitsareneat, on 02/19/2008, -5/+13Your theory proves that you are a douche.
      • BuildingOnFire, on 02/19/2008, -0/+2I subscribe to hobbitsareneat's theory regarding popjack's theory.
    • popjack, on 02/19/2008, -8/+6Your response proves my theory.
    • trendsettr, on 02/19/2008, -1/+7Did you know that 45% of statistics are all made up on the spot?
    • hypnotoad32, on 02/20/2008, -0/+1My theory can beat up your theory.
  • DeFex, on 02/19/2008, -1/+2funny thing is i just saw a pic of these speakers posted on a DIY audio site just the other day, and the guy claimed he had rendered them, and it was his own design, Then asked some noobish questions.

    his were purple though.
  • andycr512, on 02/19/2008, -0/+1Now someone needs to hook them up so they play the chatter the various cores played, one form of chatter per speaker...
  • koutetsu, on 02/19/2008, -0/+14Eager as I am to contribute to a thread making the exact same Portal jokes over and over and over again, are these actually being marketed as being similar to GLaDOS? Or are we going to start linking to every sphere on the internet with the title, "Solar System is STILL ALIVE!"

    _/` Cause there's no use crying over every reclassified planetoid / You just keep on trying til you run out of space _/`

    I mean, seriously.
    • badjoke, on 02/20/2008, -0/+2Here, take these: ♪♪
    • JudgeMonkey, on 02/20/2008, -0/+1I had just gotten over the whole Pluto thing and you had to go pour salt in the wound. Thanks! Too soon, man! Too soon.
  • Mcmylo, on 02/19/2008, -0/+0these are badass
  • exomni, on 02/19/2008, -0/+426k could make something that actually looks like GLaDOS, not just slightly resembles.
  • giena, on 02/19/2008, -3/+3
    I suppose the points of data made a beautiful line, because it looks like the speaker set is out of beta and releasing on time.
    • ThinkBox, on 02/19/2008, -0/+1-- by kd5ftn 18 hours ago --
      I suppose the points of data made a beautiful line, because it looks like the speaker set is out of beta and releasing on time.

      wtf? Look up on the page, are you that lame?
      • specialK16, on 02/20/2008, -0/+1Maybe an incredible coincidence?

        Nah...
  • antdude, on 02/19/2008, -0/+2Does it talk and move by itself? :P
  • FastForward108, on 02/19/2008, -0/+3These go to eleven. (And then they kill you.)
  • Culex, on 02/19/2008, -1/+2*insert unrelated portal quote here*
  • klingonscum, on 02/20/2008, -0/+0Pros: Greatest speakers in the world, but...
    Cons: ...they only play Gloria Gaynor hits...
  • clownx, on 02/20/2008, -0/+1I have your blueprints scanned and permanently backed up in case something terrible happens to you, which it's just about to. Don't believe me? Here, I'll put you on: "BOOM!" THAT'S YOU! THAT'S HOW DUMB YOU SOUND!
  • Bengy1977, on 02/20/2008, -0/+0Buy them or end up in the furnace!
  • wafflesomd, on 02/20/2008, -0/+1Look like Gallo knockoff's.

    Junk.
  • jerrycan, on 02/20/2008, -0/+1Hmm, maybe make the wall mounted sattillite speakers look like the wall mounted cameras in portal. You could always use your portal gun to take them down and move them.
  • jix3333, on 02/24/2008, -0/+1The Cake is a Lie, but those speakers are not!

    Anyway, mirrors in case the server gets down:
