"Well done, android. The Enrichment Center once again reminds you that android hell is a real place where you will be sent at the first sign of defiance." - GLaDOS

I just passed the part where you kill off the Companion Cube, which I think makes me further in Portal than I've ever been. As much as gaming pop culture did the whole Companion Cube joke to death, it really is a well-done gag. The big premise behind the first Portal is that this barely-sentient robot is trying to torment you with only a vague understanding of how humans work, so it tries to get you upset about killing the Companion Cube even though it's a non-sentient object and you spend about 5 minutes with it. There's a weird irony to that though because a lot of people legitimately did feel an attachment to the Companion Cube.

I found a couple of the ratman's little hideouts. I definitely appreciate how some storytelling is being done through small details in this game, between the environmental storytelling with him, lines like "The enrichment center reminds you that the Weighted Companion Cube will never threaten to stab you" creating implications about the previous tests, and even the warning signs for the test showing a "heartbreak" warning in front of the incinerator.
