IndorilTheGreat Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 This is for those of you who have played Portal. Do you think The Cake is a lie? :huh: (I already know my answer. :P ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Povuholo Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 No I don't think so. The cake exists, as you can see in the end. Whether the test subject was really meant to get it is something else. :whistling: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WrathOfDeadguy Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 The Cake, as a matter of fact, is a lie. Though we certainly are presented with evidence that a cake exists, the Cake- the one promised to poor Chel when she woke that fateful morning- is never produced. It is unimportant whether or not the Cake exists or not; GLaDOS lied about there being cake- Cake, at a specific place (the area following Test Chamber 19) and a specific time (after the conclusion of Test #19)- the promised delicious, moist piece of Cake was not delivered, therefore The Cake Is A Lie. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaUK Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 The phrase 'The Cake Is a Lie' is indeed true. The fact that there will be a cake as a reward is a lie. But, if you take it literally, the cake is not a lie, as it does exist. Basically, it depends which way you look at the sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So then I guess my avatar IS correct... :biggrin: I suppose there is a more "Philisophical Sense' as to whether the cake is real or not... it could represent whether or not we get rewarded after death... not to get into religion or anything. I don't want to get a Moderator on me... :whistling: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halororor Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 The cake is a lie,The cake is a lie,The cake is a lie,The cake is a lie! Although the cake at the end sure does look tasty! Okay, seeing as we're on portal, do you think you survive the explosion at the end? And is there any way I can rip the cool credits song off the game and play it in WMP or similar.

I don't think she survived, because the Robot sings, "Let's be happy for those still alive..." As for the music, you can just go into the file folder and find the ending credits music.

Palpenious Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Maybe the cake shown at the end was an appreciative gesture created by all those little robots in the background, who are now free because you destroyed their overbearing, homicidal master computer. Thereby turning what was once a lie, into actual cake. But, I think you do die after the explosion, so no cake for you! p.s. If anyone had the 360 version, completing the harder trials unlocks three achievements that are named, cupcake, and I forget the others, anyway, this is another way of saying the cake was real, sort of.

Achievements are on PC, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
