The cake is a lie.

[pvt. Allen]

Seeing as it's on the net for quite some time and nobody seem to know about it here (aside from Rikupsoni)...

VALVe has recently launched http://www.aperturescience.com/ wich holds an Aperture Science Terminal running 'GLaDOS v1.07 (c) 1982 Aperture Science, Inc.'. Basically it's a command console where you can type comands in and get some info along with logging into the system.
Go ahead and try getting in yourselve or see the spoiler if you have some trouble.


Don't read unless you don't want to search for everything yourselve.

You can find it elsewhere in this thread.

Interesting, I love the nonsensical questions. (or at least they appear to be so!) And... did anyone see a random picture-looking thing flash across the cottom of the screen for a split-second? on the 'plagued' question.

[pvt. Allen]

Indeed I have, it appeares to be a cake with a little candle.

[Wraith_9]

My browser doesn't like it. All I get is a flashing green thing. I use Mozilla Firefox. Any help?

*Edit* Huck yuck. Nevermind, just figured it out.

This is fun!

...Hi 9

*edit*
I saw the cake on the mathematician question.

[pvt. Allen]

That's not whole case though, as you might have noticed, some letters in the questions are light green, try putting them all together.

And my favourite question was 'What specie would you perserve?' with 2314 possible anwseres.
But I don't think they're just for our laugh. They're pretty chaotical, but also somehow attack you. You're never given a positive possibility to respond on questions about yourselve, you're being repetatively asked about stuff linked with physical pain, being driven nuts by out of place, stupid or silly questions and then again some attacking your mind. Somehow reminds me of last chapter in Orwell's '1984, talk of O'Brien's 'conversations' with Winston.

And are you guys from the same clan?

[MHSPineapple]

Is there some hidden way to use lower cases to type in the 'UIN'? it says case-sensitive but all letters typed in come out as capitols...

It comes out as jibberish, unless I'm totally missing letters.

[pvt. Allen]

There's no way to use lower cases.

And yeah, you're totally missing letters, these are always only the first letters in words, and I already written the given sentence elsewhere in this thread.

[Wraith_9]

Yes, pvt. Allen, me and 5 are from the same clan, Wraith Squad, and we know each other out side of the technological world as well (although he doesn't play Half-Life 2, so I'll never let him forget it...).

Please stop being so mysterious pvt. Allen!

[pvt. Allen]

I just thought that THECAKEISALIE is a coolest and weirdest sentence I've ever heared and didn't wanted spoiling fun of finding it, although I have already given it in the thread title.

Go ahead, login in the Aperture Science console and type that in.
