Just a note to say hi and great job
what test chamber number?
I like bionicle, and am on bzpower.com
"Optimists, I'm told, see a glass with 50% water, and %50 air and say it is half full. Pessimists, on the other hand, see it as half empty. Engineers realize the glass is 2 times larger than it needs to be"
on the contrary, i love wheatly, and he's my favorite character in portal 2.

Out of three (ten at a stretch)? Considering he was the only character designed to be endearing, it's kind of the default choice. Anyway, I can see why people like him, I just have this deep-rooted antipathy towards him - plus. Althout Portal 2 was a great game, he embodied, to me, the few things that were very wrongnwith it.
Now I REALLY hope you don't end up bumping into me.

Mm. I enjoyed Wheatley, but if Portal 2 had been anything like how I imagine it should have been, he'd be one of the first things to go.
I think Wheatley was the best thing that ever happened in Portal 2. Most popular games are very silly or a bit odd. Even though Cave and GLaDOS were kinda funny also, if Wheatley was taken out of the game, all of the dialog would feel a little off-balanced. You would be left with a crazy CEO leaving recorded messages and a passive aggressive GLaDOS continuing to make smart remarks towards the player. I know I left out the Announcer, but I think he had a minor role in the game.

The Announcer was a nice little gag but I'm glad they didn't carry it through the whole game because it would have gotten old. GLaDOS was awesome as usual. Cave had some of the funniest comments I've heard in my life. Wheatley I thought was actually pretty awesome. He provided the comic relief you needed in the game (and no, the passive-agressive darker humor from GLaDOS wouldn't have been good on its own, and in fact was countered nicely by Wheatley), was a nice companion for a chunk of the game and was a good enough villian to provide the character turnaround needed to keep the storyline interesting.
Now with 100% more inline comments!
And besides, Wheatley is the only final boss I fought that actually regrets doing what he did after the fight. People don't normally hear the final boss of a game apologizing for what they did.

Wheatley is the "villain" that we all love to hate.
It's like Darth Vader. Yeah, he's evil as heck, but he is one of the best villains ever created.

Some villians are designed to be cared for; especially the funny ones. However, when they are denied redemption in the end, and are put in the place that only TRUE evil should wind up, it kind of makes me feel bad for the poor guy; he was designed to be stupid, was given power, did what any moron would do with it, and suffered because of it. Punishment is for people. Machines do what they are programmed to do; punish the programmer, not the poor, souless robot that thinks it's alive, and is designed to feel the equivilant of pain.
