Description I don't care what anyone else says- These things are adorable.
I thought they looked just like hermit crabs when I saw them first.
After accidentally dropping a kajilion of them down endless pits i started to really feel sorry for them.
I have a tendency to talk to things (like inanimate objects or video games) when they need reassuring and I often say "Sssshhh Sssshhh the test will be over soon. Hang in there" and anyone else who's around gives me a weird look or tells me to shut up. (namely my sister ahha)

Anyhoo, here are the... franken... turret cube thingies but anthropomorphic. Two turrets have been stuffed into a little cubby in the cube and welded in. They have no legs and half of their faces are gone (one of the firing barrels). They each use one arm to drag themselves about while the other is welded around their partner. (the other firing barrel)

I feel so darn sorry for these guys...

(Frankenturrets belong to valve and the anthropomorphism is mine)

Nice interpretation you got there. You have forever changed my vision of the humanized Franken-turrets.
When you find them in the first room, where GLaDOS says the paradox to Wheatley, I always (out of mercy) relieve the poor things from their pain by throwing them into the Emancipation grid...

I immediately thought of the hermit crab thing toooooo! 8D
I usually only talked to them when I was about to drop them into a pit. "I'm sorry little buddy, but I really need to smash that screen over there. You'll be in a better place. Hopefully. .-."

Oooh! So THATS how you smash the screen in that level! I kept trying to launch myself at the screen! XD Thanks!

BTW, isn't Wheatley's...enthusiastic response to the test chambers the most AWKWARD thing ever?

X3

Oh, OH YES.
I have felt EXTREMELY awkward. Especially when you watch his face. i find it disturbing that he can now move every panel of his outer casing. Did you notice that his iris is cracked?

TheLadyInGrey In reply to immessedup [2011-04-27 21:57:16 +0000 UTC]

I KNOW! I had no idea he could do that...brr! And yeah, that actually made me feel bad for him.

"fatty fatty no parents"

XD It's the body. It wreaks people. BTW, listening closely to some of the quotes from the boss battle...damn, Wheatley is kinda a bastard, even before you met him!

XD Chell was all like D: Whut? And :'D, YOU DO LOVE ME! You know, the two of them would make excellent sitcom room mates.

immessedup In reply to TheLadyInGrey [2011-04-28 12:17:21 +0000 UTC]

Yeah.
He was a bastard before we met him eh? Yeah well, he's programmed to make bad decisions.
"Maybe I need to film you solving it and watch it on ten screens, all at once to get that BURST of concentrated science!
(Lol I broke his screen he was like "Aww, bless your little primate brain, I'm not actually here with you! It's technology! Kinda complicated...")

Lol sitcom.

Chell: PotaDOS! I'm home!!
(laugh track)
PotaDOS: Did you buy the mulch?
(laugh track)
Chell: ... No.
(laugh track)

TheLadyInGrey In reply to immessedup [2011-04-28 20:35:28 +0000 UTC]

I know, but he says a few things during the final boss battle that make you go "Oh...wow...uh, awkward."
XD I love that part! Especially when he calls himself "God".
XD Made my day just now.
Portal: The Sitcom
Chell moves into the Apeture Apartment Complex. Everything seems fine and dandy, except for the little fact of the sadistic landlord, an AI named GLaDOS, love of turning the building into "test chambers", rooms with challenges for Chell to complete which count as her "rent". If she does not complete the required amount for the month she will be...missed. While Chell adventures though the building, she is occasionally helped out by her neighbor, Wheatley, a little British robot in the apartment across from her.
XD Don't ask.

Oooookaythen!

Whoa, kat I have this weeeird story to tell u.
I was walking back home and this lady gave me three bucks and she was like "Can you buy me some salt from the store up there?" and I was like "... Um... Okay." so I went to the store and spent like 5 minutes looking for the salt, I finally found it, bought it and took it back to her. She forced me to keep the change. I was so freakin' paranoid throughout the whole encounter.
