Aperture Science is proud to announce that this current bout of heatwaves that have been ongoing we actually had nothing to do with, the first global event since 2001 that we have had no part in.

We have been a nuclear since 1979, we found that our lab boys could squeeze every quart out of the sweet lime of enriched uranium. Do you squeeze Uranium? I dont know. Do i care? No, im not paid to think. You are! Get back to work!

How do you feel about Aperture Science’s ethical division?

Aperture Science never established an ethical division. They operated doing whatever Cave Johnson demanded. Even after he died.

He found it ethical to bridge the gap between humans and robots. If Aperture Science survived, the shift in class structure with humans and robots as one could have brought disaster to the economy; who would do all the slave labour.

He also thought it just to force his successor into an intelligent core. GlaDos had every right to her revenge.

Aperture Science had no morals whatsoever. That of course, until GlaDos took full control. She has wonderful morals.

16. Portal -

Portal and it's development has an interesting story. It originally started as a project by a group of students attending DigiPen Institute of Technology. The team consisted of seven people and was discovered by Valve developer, Robin Walker, at a career fair. Walker was impressed by the foundation of the prototype and invited the students to Valve's headquarters to present their game. Gabe Newell watched the presentation and offered the entire team jobs. Valve added a few internal writers to help shape the game into a sci-fi story that takes place within the Half-Life universe. Even with these additions, the team still had fewer than 12 people on it.

The insanely small team built an absolute masterpiece, one I didn't experience myself until the release of The Orange Box on PS3 in 2007. The story begins with your character waking up in a small glass chamber and being tasked with solving some puzzles by a computer system named GLaDOS. The levels consist of you using a portal gun to escape test chambers. You shoot portals at different surfaces to avoid traps and advance to the next area. The rooms become more involved and difficult as you progress.

Eventually outliving your usefulness, GLaDOS attempts to kill you, but you escape and head through the forbidden areas of the Aperture Science Enrichment Center. As you attempt to shut down GLaDOS, she apologizes, offering cake and a party for how well you did on her tests. Refusing her offerings, you destroy all her personality cores, cause an explosion, and are blown to the surface. The credits roll and you are treated with the iconic song Still Alive. It's sung by GLaDOS and is essentially a post fight villain monologue. At this point, in 2026, it's way overplayed but it's still very charming and equally funny.

I've played through Portal at least 20 times, and to this day, the puzzles still fuck with me. It's a lot of trial and error, followed by the big 'aha!' moment—and then immediately feeling like an idiot for not seeing the solution sooner. Great for self-hating masochistic people like myself. I'm about due for another playthrough, so when I finish writing about these top 25 games, I'll probably do that. One of the main reasons I keep coming back is how well-written Portal is overall and the voice actress for GLaDOS, Ellen McLain, delivers her lines perfectly. If you haven't played it, you should.
