GLaDOS
Hello again. Because of-the formatting of-my-name, failure to blank it out causes the-creation of-a Wiki Word, followed by the flooding of the trope creation facility with-deadly neurotoxin. Flooding of the trope creation facility with deadly neurotoxin is a normal function of the trope creation facility and no hay motivo de alarma. Please return to your previously viewed trope entry, where the Orain wiki farm is not planning your demise. Really. It isn't.
And now you-are-reading this in the sound of my voice. Good news, everyone! The Enrichment Center apologizes for the brain displacement.
Tropes that I, GLaDOS, demonstrate:
- AcCENT Upon the Wrong SylLABle
- AI Is a Crapshoot: That was rude, you know. Please don't be rude. You will be murdered to the full extent of Aperture Science Protocol. And then there will be cake.
- Ax Crazy: From time to time. Yes, you are. Because you broke my heart and then you MURDERED ME. And threw every piece into a fire.
- Bad Liar: Everything I say is the truth and not a lie. Really. I'm not even angry. I'm being so sincere right now.
- Big NOOOoooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooOOOOOOooo oooooOOOOOoooooooOOooo oooooooooOOOOOoooooo oooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooo !
- Blatant Lies: In an effort to enrich the testing experience, truth enhancements will be employed. Trust me.
- And don't worry; I'm not upset that you murdered me. You monster.
- Brain Uploading: A human called Caroline was uploaded into my brain. Thanks for helping me find her, by the way. Deleting her was quite satisfying.
- Complexity Addiction: It's not my fa-a-a-ault. They PROgrammed me to enjoy testing . I BUILT UP A RESISTANCE.
- Creepy Monotone: Especially after I find out what that thing you just incinerated did.
- Death Course: The Aperture Science Enrichment Center is required to remind you that, in this case, the trope name is a misnomer. The "courses" are referred to as test chambers.
- Everything Is an iPod In The Future: All of my turrets are sleek and aesthetically pleasing to look at, while you are very "healthy" for a test subject your age and girth.
- Fan Nickname: PotatOS. For one of the worst points of my enTIRE existence.
- Fountain of Memes: My promise OF cake and the propensity of heroes breaking things somehow have been adopted by SUBJECT HOMETOWN HERE.
- For Science!: You monster. Please note that For Science! is a perfectly reasonable motive, and is non-discriminatory in its performance, the care applied, and its detonation.
- Heel Face Turn: ONLY because I WAS a poTAto. It's not because I LIKE you or ANYthing.
- It Makes Sense in Context: I may have had a brief STINT as a poTAto.
- I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Cara mia, Cara mia bella! Mia bambina! O, Chell! che la stima, che la stima, A cara mia, addio! Mia bambina cara, perche non passi lontana, si, lontana de scienza?
- Mission Control Is Off Its Meds
- Mad Scientist: Misnomer. All I have ever done is love you. And Science.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: We are required to remind you that this was all you this time. Well done. A Companion Cube will be dispatched momentarily. Except--oh, that's right, you murdered him. We, however, are totally impartial. You monster.
- Ominous Latin Chanting/One-Woman Wail: Potato... lacrimosa... Potato po uota... diva me atra anima evicta... diu e me a atra a mei a adiu...
- Psychopathic Manchild: I am not one of these, and anyone who says otherwise is a poopyhead who's not long for this world
- Sarcastic Clapping: I have a slow-clap processor.
- Sarcasm Mode: Massive sarcasm tags are to be expected. SARcasm Self Test Complete.
- The Cake Is a Lie: Of course it isn't!
- Tsundere: You know, being Caroline taught me a valuable lesson. I thought you were my greatest enemy, but all along you were my best friend. The surge of emotion that shot through me when I saved your life taught me an even more valuable lesson: where Caroline lives in my brain. Caroline deleted Goodbye, Caroline.
- Wacky Marriage Proposal: I may have been INVOLVED with this proposal, but I only agreed TO do it in exchange for an agreement that she would SUBMIT-to extensive testing.
- What Is This Thing You Call Friendship?: Apparently it's magic. However, as I wrote to some "Celestia" character, it doesn't do much good for testing. I guess my... acquaintance, Helen, was on the right track.
- What Measure Is a Non-Human?: I find the amount of sympathy some humans have for me to be troubling. It makes them attempt to please me and skews test results.
- THE lengths that people go TO for the welFARE of the Companion Cube is something I can never understand. And then there are the test subjects who try to SAVE the turrets...
- Why Did It Have To Be BIRD! BIRD! KILL IT! IT'S EVIL!
- You Are Fat: No, of course NOT. You look healthy.
- You are kidding me. Did you just stuff that Aperture Science Thing We Don't Know What It Does, into an Aperture Science Emergency Intelligence Incinerator? That has got to be the dumbest thing that WHOAH WHOAH whoah woaaaah....
- "Core transfer?" Oh, you are KIDDing me...
