Sharing the weird Humor

Still Alive is a song written by Jonathan Coulton for a computer game called Portal. Having not played a computer game since Civilization II there has been a bit of a lag in me learning about this. But a comic in XKCD made me go search for GLaDOS and I discovered a wonderfully evil homicidal computer system through the power of YouTube. And that's when I heard the credits song from Portal. It's just so darn catchy and fun. And even better there is this video that's a tribute of a beloved (but dead) computer system made using a still working one that is very fun. But don't take my word for it, go see the Animated Tribute by Eric Schwartz to what must have been his favorite OS/hardware. If you're a 1980s computer geek this will be especially amusing.

Took a gander at the game too - valve did a wonderful job with that game it does appear. At least the final "boss" was quite awesome - loved the dialog!

I thought so too. Slightly modified it could be a film.
