For some reason, this made me notice how much they changed GLaDOS from Portal to Portal 2. In the firt game, he was stationary and didn't do anything. Being hung basically upside down wasn't helpful. In 2 she could do many things... Nod, shake her head, make gestures (sort of), turn around, lower her body if necessary, at some point she even did something resembling a shrug. Even her "eye" can be wide open or really narrow, depending on the expression. They did much more than, as my sister put it, "finally fix her face", and I love how expressive she is after the redesign.

I had an almost obsessive fascination with GLaDOS at the time I was doing these comics. That fascination had stemmed in large part from the updates to her design and character from Portal 2.
It's not much of a surprise that she changed as much as she did though; Portal 2 was developed with the full power of VALVE's resources behind it where the original Portal was the first game its design team made after being hired by VALVE.

Not really anything to explain, really. Thought I'd throw in something really ridiculous sounding in the middle and see if anyone noticed : P.
And while I would LOVE to say I plan on doing more of these comics, I'm at some kind of weird point in my life where nothing really strikes my interest artistically speaking, and unless I'm excited about something, I can't really do much with it. It feels pretty lame.

Got to warn you though; TF2's Download is HUGE since they've updated it sooo much since it came out.

Glad you liked that! That was actually what the entire list was kind of written to mask, now that I think about it. TwT

But "I only do everything" isn't even true: she doesn't cook or wash the dishes or do ironing or vaccum-clean the floors or I'm gonna shut up now because there's a horrible prejudice lying therein, but the point remains the same.

Lol, in the interest of continuing the trend of the politically incorrect: she probably has a bunch of migrant robots to do all that stuff. : P

I actually had no intention of being politically incorrect - I was just listing mundane tasks which involve machines, but then I realised "wait, those are typically women's jobs, and GLaDOS is based on a woman... craaap. >.<"
But yeah, that's probably true, but that just reinforces the point: She doesn't do everything, just a lot of things.
