Storyline

Trivia
GLaDOS may be named for the real life Dr. Gladys J. Loring who was one of the psychiatrists who evaluated Mercury Astronaut candidates at Wright-Patterson. These men were put through extreme tests that pushed the boundaries of ethical testing.

Goofs
At the end of the testing chambers, GLaDOS states that the equipment "can withstand temperatures of over 4000 degrees Kelvin," however, Kelvin is not measured in degrees, it's measured in Kelvins.

Quotes
GLaDOS: Look, you're wasting your time. And, believe me, you don't have a whole lot left to waste. What's your point, anyway? *Survival?* Well, then, the last thing you want to do is hurt me. I have your brain scanned and permanently backed-up in case something terrible happens to you, which it's just about to. Don't believe me? Here, I'll put you on:
Strange voice: Hellooooooooo!
GLaDOS: That's you! That's how dumb you sound! You've been wrong about every single thing you've ever done, including this thing. You're not smart. You're not a scientist. You're not a doctor. You're not even a full-time employee! Where did your life go so wrong?

Alternate versions
The game originally ended with a simple fadeout into the pre-credits cutscene. When the sequel was being developed, a patch was pushed out that added a robotic voiceover line thanking the player for assuming the party escort submission position and the animation of being dragged away.
