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!

I feel like I was the one who started the Portal references

I remember when that game was big back when I was in middle school.

Posted (edited)

It was popular while I was getting my Bachelor's degree. 

 

Sparks I feel old. :mellow:

Hm. Portal was quite popular when I was in middle school, and I am just 2-3 years younger than you, Twi. Or at least i think so. O.o

And the science gets done and you make a neat gun

for the people who are still alive.

 

 

I believe my younger brother was in elementary school when he beat the first game.

Well it came out during my last couple of years of highschool and I'm 20... something. I keep forgetting. 24 I think.

On the Shard, we're all the same age.

On Soviet Shard, metal spikes you?

Wait, metal does spike people. I dunno. My comparison is fundamentally flawed.

That makes sense. O.o 

 

Sorry for that. xD

 

Nah, don't worry about it. Just about everyone who sees me thinks I'm still a teenager. 

 

Which gave me an idea for a very Slytherin plan to rid the world of Fenrir Greyback. NOT GREENBACK YOU DIMWITTED CREATION OF SCIENCE.

Actually, ya ever have one of those memoents where you read something, and you aren't sure if it's supposed to stabdvin for something, or if you're just reading too much into it?

Cause I have with Fenrir. He's already creepy and villainous, considering he specifically targets children causing them to grow up isolated by the wizarding world...

...but he targets children. Isolating them from their friends and families. And Lupin day's he was trying to rally werewolves to Voldemort cause.

Basically, I have never been sure if my impression of Fenrir as a child-groomer was intentional on Rowling's part.

Oh, I'm pretty sure it was intentional. Especially since (IN SPOILERS JUST IN CASE YOU DO NOT WANT AN UNCOMFORTABLE THOUGHT IN YOUR HEAD. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.) 

 

Rowling has said before that lycanthropy is a metaphor for AIDS and other blood-borne illnesses, and Greyback spreads it intentionally. And the way he leers at Hermione….well, I think it's pretty clear Rowling was coding Greyback as a child predator.

No, I actually thought you're like 24-25. :) I'm 22.

Jeez. Just when I thought Fenrir couldn't get any worse.
