At first it seems like becoming a personality core wouldn’t be a particularly glamorous position at Aperture Science, but I suppose from a turret’s perspective any kind of  job change is a promotion!

    …..Poor, cute little Turret…

    Turret Baby: I wanna be a core when I grow up :D
    Glados: But you are a turret. And I don't care.
    Turret baby: ;_;

    Turrets. They never stop being adorable.

    …did I say never?

  4. Trunks on April 24th, 2012 1:34 am

    I laughed then +1'd. Would do again.

  5. MasterLuigi452 on April 24th, 2012 1:39 am

    I'm guessing this is another mix with "Nightmare Before Christmas."
    Correct me if I'm wrong please.
    Otherwise, fantastic job.

    Looks like that turret wants this change…

    *sunglasses*

    from his core.

    YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

  8. Zyquux on April 24th, 2012 1:57 am

    From the video description: "The full music-video for 'If I Were A Core' -- a Portal parody of Beyoncé's 'If I Were A Boy'."

  9. MasterLuigi452 on April 24th, 2012 2:13 am

    Hmm. I better look up to that original song soon.
    Thanks!

  10. Prof. Luigi on April 24th, 2012 2:42 am

    *sees title, immedietly have this song come to mind*
    Dear GLaDOS, You have made many good turrets.
    I realise, of course, there is no shame in being a turret,
    But it is no great honor either!
    So would it be so terrible if I had a core's power?

    If I were a great core,
    Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.
    All day long I'd biddy biddy bum,
    If I were a mighty core.
    I wouldn't have to shoot hard.
    Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.
    If I were a biddy biddy great
    Yidle-diddle-didle-didle core.

    I'd build a big test chamber with traps the the dozen
    Right in the middle of the labs.
    With fine weighted cubes with alloy panels below,
    There would be one long funnel just sucking up,
    And one even longer blowing down,
    and one that goes in circles just for show.

    I'd fill my tests with lasers, portals and cubes and gel_For the rest to see and hear
    Testing just as surely as they can
    With each loud BZZT, TSSS, BANG, POW, SCUFFLE, KLONK, and SLPORT
    Would land like a trumpet on the ear.
    As if to say "Here lives a mighty core!"

    (Press that replies button, kid)

  11. Prof. Luigi on April 24th, 2012 2:43 am

    If I were a great core,
    Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum
    All day long I'd biddy biddy bum
    If I were a mighty core.
    I wouldn't have to shoot hard,
    Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.
    If I were a biddy biddy great,
    Yidle-diddle-didle-didle core.

    The most important bots in the lab would come to fawn on me!
    They would ask me to go test them,
    Like Cave Johnson the wise,
    "If you please, almighty core."
    "Pardon me, almighty core."
    Posing questions that would cross GLaDOS' eyes!

    And it won't make one bit of difference if I answer right or wrong.
    When you're a core, they think you really know!

    If I were great, I'd have that time that I lack
    to sit near the labs and test.
    And maybe have a seat where I see it all!
    And I'd discuss testing results with the smartest cores several hours every day.
    and that would be the sweetest thing of all.

    If I were a great core,
    Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.
    All day long I'd biddy biddy bum.
    If I were a mighty core.
    I wouldn't have to shoot hard.
    Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.

    Cave who made our science labs the best,
    You say we're just as good as the rest,
    Would it spoil your each and every test
    If I was a mighty cooore!

  12. Prof. Luigi on April 24th, 2012 2:45 am

    OPTIONAL ACCOMPLISHMENT PROTOCOL
    1) find narrow hallway,
    2)Place portals on opposite walls.
    3) Proceed to highfive all of yourselves.
    4)proceed to the next testing chamber

    I do not have a comment that would do this moving song any justice.

    So instead, let's play…. rel="nofollow">The Halolz Comment Section Dice Game!
    (Click the title for appropriate music.)

    Here's how it works; if you've played this before, please read the rules again because I changed a few things.
    1) Take you IntenseDebate score and add 7 to it.
    2) Match the last digit in your total with one of the listings below. (ex: 105 = "5")
    3) Do said task in the comments.
    Well, let's get the ball rolling and start up the game!

    #0- Type your username into Google Image Search and post the first result here.
    #1- Select the random submission link and post the top comment here.
    #2- Select the random submission link and turn the name of the game parodied/referenced in the submission into a porn title.
    #3- Compliment Shawn Handyside
    #4- Post more ponies!
    #5- Type your username into the Halolz search bar and post whichever result has the worst score. If you never had one featured….. post a picture of a candy bar.
    #6- Make a joke about the Mass Effect 3 ending
    #7- Make a comment that references 3 tired memes.
    #8- Post a link to a Nickelback song
    #9- Change your username to one of the many names of rel="nofollow">David Ryder.
    #Doubles (ex: 155, 66)- Type your first name into dA's dearch and post the worst piece of art that comes up.
    #Triples (ex: 999)- GO TO BED.
    #Quads (ex: 5555)- rel="nofollow">Don't let me eat pears: I HATE pears!

  14. Prof. Luigi on April 24th, 2012 2:49 am

    I've been doing waay to many long winded comments lately.
    Maybe I ought to shut up for a while….

    There's another thing you can do with portals if you're feel like your needs are being neglected. But I won't say cause there might be children nearby.

  20. Zyquux on April 24th, 2012 3:15 am

    What's so bad about giving yourself a back massage?

  21. Zyquux on April 24th, 2012 3:25 am

    This game has more choices than the Mass Effect 3 ending.

    2) Place portals on opposite walls

    3) Punch yourself in the face so hard that you fly through the portals a couple of times

    4) After picking up your fallen teeth, proceed to retry the testing chamber.

    Don't you just love it when you just discovered a grammar error in your own comment but you can't change it cause someone commented on your comment?

  29. primedawg9170 on April 24th, 2012 5:49 am

    You know turrets have a lousy job when the idea of being flung into space sounds appealing to them.

  41. Caelun_Niveus on April 24th, 2012 10:36 am

    "Caelun Niveus" turned up no results period in Deviant Art
    "Caelun" turned up very little results… like 7 total…
    "Niveus" turned up this, which is really sad as it is one of the few pictures where they seem to realize the meaning of the word… I feel offended by the baka gaijin weeaboos

    Google turns up first "my" profile on some selling website, then then the second result is…

    …me!
