00:04There's this thing in the gaming world when we find an easter egg or something particularly
00:08awesome in a game. Now we could just chuckle and get over it but more often than not we'll
00:13create memes, create motivational posters or remix sound bites until that originally
00:19awesome thing is done to death and becomes something we hate. Such is the case for the
00:23baked good infamous for deception or more popularly the cake is a lie.
00:28The clever puzzle game tore the face off the seemingly harmless Aperture Science
00:32facility when it revealed a back area behind the test chamber where a former
00:36test subject had scrawled the cake is a lie over and over on the wall. The cake in
00:41question is a motivational tool offered by GLaDOS to the player as a reward for
00:45completing test chambers. Portal fans have been arguing back and forth whether the
00:50cake is or is not a conspiracy and buying domain names to prove their point. See
00:58game developers have been getting in on the joke too. Bioware featured the catchphrase
01:02Where is the cake? Who's told there would be cake? The cake is a lie. And weirdly
01:08Cartoon Network is riddled with references. Everything Ken told you is a lie. Even the cake? No the
01:15cake is real and extremely rich. The cake has also made appearances in Fable and Minecraft.
01:23Thanks to Portal there's always going to be that weird guy in your office who pipes up with
01:27Well I guess the cake isn't a lie then. At every single birthday celebration.
01:33Portal writer Eric Walpord describes the careful psychological and philosophical system of
01:38determining player rewards as we sat down to decide that was followed by 15 minutes of silence then
01:44someone mentioned that a lot of people like cake. The end of the game revealed the fabled cake in all
01:50its
01:50cakey glory. Portal fans cheered as GLaDOS crooned over running out of cake.
01:54Is the cake a lie? Is it real? Are you just sick of hearing the word cake so many times
01:59without
01:59actually receiving any? Let us know in the comments down below. After you buy cake of course.
02:04Regardless of where you stand the cake has had a serious impact on the gaming world
02:08and as a result Portal has definitely earned a place in the big book of gaming memes.
