Awesome! Finally a shirt I want, in for one.

Please.

Seconded. I'm starting to get lost just trying to find all the possible places one of the first few sentences could go to end with something that makes sense. And I hate having a headache while I'm getting lost.

On an unrelated topic, I SO badly want this shirt, it makes me almost willing to go through the wrath of my fiancée to get it... Is that a bad thing? Thank God she's not actually GladOS.

Aw yeah! Go ratty get your cheese!

Totally appropriate time to post a link to the end song of Portal. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moIlBqygQag

This was a triumph.
I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS.
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.
Aperture Science
We do what we must
because we can.
For the good of all of us.
Except the ones who are dead.
But there's no sense crying over every mistake.
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
And the Science gets done.
And you make a neat gun.
For the people who are still alive.
I'm not even angry.
I'm being so sincere right now.
Even though you broke my heart.
And killed me.
And tore me to pieces.
And threw every piece into a fire.
As they burned it hurt because I was so happy for you!
Now these points of data make a beautiful line.
And we're out of beta.
We're releasing on time.
So I'm GLaD. I got burned.
Think of all the things we learned
for the people who are still alive.
Go ahead and leave me.
I think I prefer to stay inside.
Maybe you'll find someone else to help you.
Maybe Black Mesa
THAT WAS A JOKE.
HAHA. FAT CHANCE.
Anyway, this cake is great.
It's so delicious and moist.
Look at me still talking
when there's Science to do.
When I look out there, it makes me GLaD I'm not you.
I've experiments to run.
There is research to be done.
On the people who are still alive.
And believe me I am still alive.
I'm doing Science and I'm still alive.
I feel FANTASTIC and I'm still alive.
While you're dying I'll be still alive.
And when you're dead I will be still alive.
STILL ALIVE
STILL ALIVE!!!

Can I still like this shirt if I don't play Portal?

Must resist..... Can't.. stop.. from. putting. in CC info.. must.. not. click. gold. button. CLICK.

Now that I think about it, the rat didn't really need the portal gun. To create both the portals, he would've had to be at both locations, so he could have just carried the companion cheese!

On a side note, I never actually finished Portal because I couldn't bring myself to euthanize the poor Companion Cube. Especially not after we became good friends.

This has to be one of my favorite shirts of all time...kudos on a great design and epic timing!!!!

Thanks for making this one, Shirt.Woot! I hope the world of Portal fans and rodent fans collide and make beautiful music together .

Also, the cheese actually IS a lie...they forgot it on my Schlotzky's tonight... Grrr!

We all get a little bit closer to the singularity today,

I love the Smashing Pumpkins lyric.

Did it!

EDIT: Dang! Beaten by a minute or two... :O

If you read the write up without decoding it, you can sound like GLADOS.

This ties with my fav shirt! The other one being the turtles from Mario kart in class.

I predict a quick sellout on this one. If you want it for ten bucks, buy right now.

Shouldn't the picture captions/ the design description have one for the front and one for the back?

I mean, I know it's supposed to be a 'trippy' shirt, but can you really have two front designs?


(I think someone typo'd :x)

Thanks for the help. I looked it up on freetranslation and got "song wreath", which just didn't make any sense.

Rats! what you have made me see can't be unseen, however I predict a very early, possibly record early sellout on this one.

I just got back from the midnight release of Portal 2 and I am delighted to see this shirt while I'm waiting for it to install.

madron2000 wrote:As much as I love this shirt, if people only see the back it looks like a spermy going into a hole....

Well, I'm sold, then.

If you don't see the front of the shirt first, the back of the shirt looks like a wee sperm.

All of that aside, the new "back-of-shirt" design thing is awesome.
