I’m still alive. Sorry for the lack of posts from me, between MGS4 and my computer breaking I was sort of preoccupied with other things. Anyway, this seemed like a fitting thing to come back with.
There is something inherently frightening about GLaDoS as a GPS voice giving you directions. Seeing as how well that went the first time.

Current Song:
i think it has it’s directions off a little bit, but overall having a glados voice for gps would be awesome
if you reach your destination, there will be cake.
Wouldn’t having HAL 9000 as your GPS’ voice be even more frightening?
I didn’t really find it lol-worthy. If there were Portal references during the dead parts, I’d so buy it.
is this fake…or does that man have a hand made of rock…cause he doesn’t move at all…yea…i’m pretty sure this went through an editing program. Still awesome though. Fake stuff can be just as funny as the real thing =)
Hm. Saw this on GameTrailers two days ago.
“We would like to inform you that android hell is a Very real place, would you like me to give you directions?”
Not fake. Some GPS can simulate the route with a set velocity to see if it’ll work.
Boy, I hope this is real. Like, I bought my dad the Mr. T voice for his Garmin, but this is so much better.
“Wait, this isn’t where I - OH GOD FIRE!”
I noticed that the voice’s directions and the on-screen directions didn’t match up.
Other than that, there was nothing funny about that.
GLaDOS doesn’t seem to know the difference between left and right.
@Vabolo
Nah, having HK-47 would be worse. “Suggestion: Strain your puny, fragile arms to turn the vehicle to the left. Aside: And try not to break them in the process, meatbag.”
@ Evitron
Your GPS rules! :D
*Nova buys it, and starts crying because it hurt his feelings*
GLaDOS, your lost aren’t you?
You have requested directions to the nearest Aperture Science Instant Escape Exit, instead I find that you will be more pleased with an Aperture Science Incinerator, consider it your birthday. And there will be caek.
“Oh, I know what that cube did now! That was my direction cube, to stop me DRIVING YOU INTO POLES AND OFF CLIFFS!”
That is AWESOME.
I would buy thatvoice in a set of HAL, HK-47, R2-D2, and maybe William Shatner.
“Mr. Sulu…We are…arriving…at our…destination.”
Having this GPS should give you the ability to just portal to your destination, dammit. All GLaDOS would have to do is say a few catch phrases now and then, so that part’s taken care of. Now we just need to implement the part that makes portals, and stuff.
Yeah.
@pickle
wow, that would be the shortest trip ever!
“The blue portal is open. Please step through. You have reached your destination. On behalf of Aperture science, I hope you had a good trip. Good bye.”
Anyone notice that the guy’s hand stays perfectly still for the majority of the film?
@Alphalance
Yeah, I noticed that. Dude has steady hands. The person holding the GPS could be resting their arm on something.
BTW, while watching the video again, I realized the checkered flag should be a cake. Or maybe, the starting point is a blue portal and the flag is replaced with an orange one. I also realized it would be cool to have Morpheus giving you directions. It worked when he tried to help Neo escape his office. Though it might end up telling you to climb out a window, which probably won’t help you much.
that thing is creepy.
Incoming. Cliff. Speed, up.
Actually… I think the directions make sense. It says at the beginning to turn left, then turn right. It’s such a small distance, it instantly blurts out “turn right” immediately after the left turn. Now the question is, where do I buy this?
TAKE A LEFT TURN, THEN MERGE ONTO…HEY, IS THAT COMPANION CUBE? WE CAN STOP TO HAVE CAKE…
i’d buy the mr.t version,but HK-47 is cooler,even though it might drive me off cliffs & into kindergartens…
