I played about an hour ago before going to the gym. Probably somewhere between test chambers 16-20.
Now GLaDOS started showing her true colors. I came across a cube with hearts, and couldn't help but feel for the cube when it was taking the hits from the photon thingies. A cube with hearts getting its corners and sides burnt, WHO WOULD DO SUCH A THING??? Then, at that test chamber, I barely managed to make the final platform open by the skin of my teeth. Seriously, when I managed to crawl onto the button right after the photon passed by and right before it was about to collide with the door, I couldn't help but think "oh, I did it?" Then I slowly platformed to the next area, with the lovable cube proving to be quite the weigh down. Oh well, I'll carry you anyway! Then...
GLaDOS: "You are not allowed to carry the cube any further. It must be euthanized."
Me: NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(not making this up - at the very least, I felt something for the cube)
R.I.P. Weighted Companion Cube. You will most certainly be missed.
Then...
GLaDOS: You are nearing the end of your test. You will be baked afterwards, and then there will be cake.
Me: WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M SUPPOSED TO BE NOTHING MORE THAN A THROWAWAY TEST SUBJECT???
Going to return to this after shower.
