2 threads down.
though I suppose that thread was technically about Portal 1 and just changed to portal 2.

If I only had xray vision. Needs its own thread anyways imo

So the cake is an even bigger lie now. I wholeheartedly approve.

[Qalbert]

The cake can now be shared co-op with another person

[miokomioko]

The cake will be thoroughly enjoyed. I have no doubts. Especially if it's red velvet.

[Kaisha]

Co-op portal is going to hurt my brain if they involve sequences where you're taking turns moving each other through the map, while at the same time trying to get one of those energy balls into the charging unit thingy.

Is the game going to use reference child porn again?

Just in case people don't know about the underlined letters, 'drattmann' / 'h0nee' is supposedly the new username/password for the mystery BBS.

Hah, what school?

As for the cp thing; "The cake is a lie" does in fact not originate from portal. 'Cake' was another name for 'delicious flat chest' or 'loli' or cp, etc. People would give allusions that the cake was hidden in this image as a zip file or hosted at a rapidshit link or something. But it was a lie, so somebody would find out and say the cake was a lie. This took place on 4/7chan of course.

i always thought the cake meme was the whole censoring genitals from hentai with pictures of cake.

I'm calling BS.
ED even says its a meme from portal.

[Akiyama]

While it may reference cp or whatever, the cake itself shown in game looks delicious, is not a lie, and I will not share it. Ever.

Portal popularized it. It's not surprising that it wasn't known by many before it's usage in portal. Thus, almost everybody thinks it was originally from portal. ED isn't an end-all thing, especially since it's a wiki.

This copypasta probably says it best:

Roughly translates to "your promised reward is merely a fictitious motivator". Popularized by the game "Portal" (found on Half-Life 2's "Orange Box" game release for PC, X-Box 360, and PS3). During the game, an electronic voice encourages you to solve intricate puzzles using cake as a motivating perk. When you have "broken out" of the game's initial testing phase (from threat of death), you find scrawls on walls of the innards of the testing center warning you that "the cake is a lie".
The phrase the cake is a lie had it's origins on one of the *chans. It started in the lolicon image board also called "/cake/" or "Delicious Cake" (Lolicon being drawn pornography depicting small children doing sexual favors.) On certain chans (Which will go unnamed) the /cake/ board shows picture of real small children instead of drawn. similar to their /jb/ or jailbait boards. Some of these picture can be found with a tag on them saying "Open with winrar". When you do this these certain picture open text documents with links or bat info that leads to child porn or "CP". when people would open these in winrar most of the time they would be linked to such a website as ****** or tubgirl. The receiver of "CP" would then return to the original thread and tag it with the phrase "The cake is a lie" cake being Child Porn. This phrase is often mistaken for portal where at the end you are rewarded with cake promised throughout the game only to have it taken away. But that would leave incorrect. The meaning of this phrase was lost some time ago and was only brought back when portal was introduced and it fit so well.

yes a poorly written unnamed source is clearly legit
edit: urbandictionary is your source? CREDIBLE!

[Priran]

the qalberts who always go "omg lol cake is a lie xD" in reference to portal need to be fucking shot in the back of the head. is there any proof more compelling for the argument that the internet ruins fucking everything than portal's fantastic script and voice acting being reduced to one unspoken line and summarily beaten to death and beyond by every community of obnoxious teenagers in existence?

I never said that's my source. I'm fact I'm pretty sure I said that it just says it best. Let me check. Yeah, I did.

My source is myself.

[Qalbert]

yeah that's what I thought. stop shitting up the thread with your CP bullshit.
