Went down to a local bar around my house earlier today for dinner. As I walked in, I immediately recognized the song as a sort of alt rock version of "Still Alive" from the first Portal game. I haven't ever actually heard a cover of the song that I liked, so I pulled out my phone to see who it was by. Song ended before I could ID the band. The bar was probably just running an auto playlist on Pandora or Amazon music, but I haven't been able to look up the song on either site.

I've been looking for hours, and I've had zero luck. What do. I want that song.

Oh. Also, the singer was female. Dunno if that's something more to go on

Did it sound like this?

No, that's the actual song, with Ellen McLain singing.

This particular cover stood out to me because it kept the guitar, removed some of the synthiness from the rest of the instruments, and did not do post processing on the vocalist to give her voice that hollowish robotic sound.

Whoever she was, she sounded a lot like Emily Haines of Metric.

This?

It's gotta be this, right?

Fuck I remember portal.


I completed that game three times just so I could experience the end with no interruption

I actually cried.

Yes! I think this is it. I don't recall if there was any backup male vocalists, but it wasn't exactly prime listening atmosphere.

This has to be it, though. Checks all of the boxes for what I remember. You guys rock! Thanks so much!

Hell yeah. It was my first foray into real modern gaming. The end still gets me a little misty every time.

My girlfriend has expressed interest in playing a 'good game with a good story' and I'm worried that she won't see the beauty in Portal (because then I'd have to eject her from my life).

>I actually cried.
Why?
>>
>>69475648
presumably because at the time there wasn't a sequel

They retconned the ending when they decided to pull the trigger on Portal 2, but in the original game, the twist was the the whole entire game was a test. GlaDOS intended you to escape the chambers and confront her.

In the end, it turned out that she was still alive and proud of your success.

And there was actually cake, and the companion cube didn't actually die.
