GLaDOS Invades the iPhone 4S


Trying to get Apple to implement this GLaDOS-Siri hybrid would be slow and meaningless, just like your sad little life.

If you were one of the people disappointed by the recently unveiled iPhone 4S, YouTube user bamfer23 has figured out the perfect way for Apple to make it up to you. The recipe is simple: Take one part Siri (iPhone's new artificially intelligent "assistant"), one part GLaDOS (insane killer robot obsessed with testing, neurotoxins, and that extra ten pounds you've been carrying since the holidays), mix, and slather generously on top of one of Apple's product demo videos. The resulting parody is nothing short of brilliant, but unfortunately, bamfer23's idea (much like Chell) will probably never see the light of day.

It amazes me that after all this time people can still squeeze fresh joke juice out of Portal's--let's admit it--overused lemons. After all, there are probably more Portal jokes and parodies hitting the Internet everyday than there are babies being born. Still, when it works, it works, and this is definitely one of those cases.

I don't know much about hacking or modding iPhones (especially not their somewhat creepy voice-activated assistants), but suddenly, I really wish I did. That being said, if any of you Escapists out there are smarter with this stuff than I am, I think you know what must be done. Get to work!

... and let me know when you're finished.

Oh my god I would love this so much. I'm not even kidding. Being insulted and threatened by Glados as I go about my business would make everything better.

This more-or-less counteracts every good thing that has existed this decade.

If this really works, it'll be incredible (incidentally, this is coming from the guy who still can't believe what we can make computers do nowadays). Even if it doesn't work Portal fans, myself included, will be all over this. Just a brief aside: this is kind of like when Lucas arts made a nav system with Darth Vader and Yoda's voices (I swear this is true).

Say you wanted a flatout insane killer AI robot that loves to test and experiment on people letting you know the weather in your town?

There's an app for that.

Don't say that.
You're giving hope to everyone who finished Portal 2's single player campaign, which quite clearly ends with Chell getting out of the facility and seeing the light of day.

ahh, but you see, they'd have to share with Valve. I think the people who produce for Droid would have better luck.

Appleture Science for the win!

Yeah, I know it's terrible, but admit it, you were all trying to come up with something witty for that logo.

I can get snoop dogg and mr. T on my TomTom (I PITY THE FOOL THAT DON'T TURN LEFT) so I don't see why we could't have Glados stand in for Siri.

Steam are on Macs. I think they have a decent relationship.

I'll be honest, I'd much rather have Cave Johnson on my phone instead of GLaDOS. He's far more entertaining to listen to.
