i was at meet the mercs on saturday. i had so much fun highlights of the night include
getting made fun of for stuttering and then john patrick lowrie saying “good job mate” afterward bc i looked distressed but my life was in fact more fulfilled after having my question answered. i was declared third most pathetic person in the room it was great
JOHN PATRICK LOWRIE HELD!! THE SRAT!! THE SNIPER RAT AND ELLEN SAID HE WAS ADORABLE. and he also said rodents have standards which they do!! rats are incredibly intelligent creatures

so im mixed. im wasian and so. im french and then i have a great-grandfather who was a spy so i had to tell this to dennis who then made what was not a “your mother” joke it was a “your great-grandmother joke” thank you for implying that im related to spy
but i had so much fun i did not have a panic attack like i thought i would and so i did not make a complete and utter fool of myself besides the stuttering thing shoutout to my roommate for coming with me for emotional support. i had so much fun! i need to do my german homework now goodnight

@stangeranfanficion sent me this last night and I feel basically obligated to repost it (from an old Reddit ama with JPL and Ellen McLain)
[Image ID: Reddit screenshot showing a post by ApepCaldera that says "Hi again, I have another question! (Am I allowed to ask two?) This one is for Mr. Lowrie... What gender do you think Pyro is?" and a reply from JohnPatrickLowrie that says "Pyro has gone beyond gender. He is post-genderific!" End ID]

Ellen McLain’s commentary from my trivia playthrough
#She's so cute <3#WPP#Portal#Ellen McLain#If you haven't played through the audio commentary I would Absolutely recommend it it is So fun#I clicked out of curiosity - kind of just expecting like a movie's audio commentary y'know? Like a video that highlighted specific scenes#No it's just the whole game again but with trivia pop-ups! I love that!!#It reminded me so much of like trivia track or the pop up fun facts from special editions of movies I would watch as a kid#But you can play through them!! You have to click on them and they spin! I love that!!!#I always love hearing the design and development process - fascinating how the playtesters reacted to this new game!#We take it for granted now but yeah I imagine it would've been very confusing at the time#And I was like ''Well it was such a small team and Ms. McLain was such a large part of it - surely she'll have a few bubbles?''#She does lol - as soon as I got to her first one (it was a slow burn! They buried the lead with her lol I'm already invested!) I had to go#I saved-quit the game out of sheer excitement and giddiness lol I had to sleep on it before I was ready to come back#It is so cool to hear her natural voice ah <3 And the kinds of direction she was given! Other bubbles also talk about her vocal direction :)#Very cool! I wonder what TTS they used for reference :0#But to hear her real laugh without the audio processing over and and she still sounds like GLaDOS! I mean of course she does but just jfdksl#That's /her/ laugh! They share a laugh! It's a very similar laugh!!#Not to mention her talking about wanting to play and just fdskalfd they clearly did such a good job with her performance and ahhh#It's too cute it's all too cute sharing a room with GLaDOS while her voice actor talks about making a cake to share with her friends stopppp#I am so enamoured <3#I also took a bunch of screenshots of GLaDOS still shit-talking while she was being destroyed lol#Actually beat the ending in one try this time :P I ran out of time the last time pfft#But now I've beaten it twice in as many days :D Although I did start it the first time several days ago - but I beat it again quickly!#Has me all the more itching to replay 2 ♪#WPVG

Valve fact, Valve has a tendency to rehire voice actors for multiple games but Ellen McLain is the only one to appear in every game besides Counter-Strike.
Ellen McLain voices eleven (11) characters.
Five (5) in Portal with GLaDOS, Caroline, the turrets, Curiosity Core, and the Intelligence Core.
Two (2) in DotA with Broodmother and Death Prophet.
Two (2) in Left4Dead with the Witches and Amanda Slater.
One (1) in Half-Life with the Combine Overwatch
And finally one (1) in Team Fortress as the Administrator

It warms my heart how much the TF2 voice actors still love that game, its community and their voice roles all this time later, even when Team Fortress could not be lower on Valve’s list of priorities:

I bet the ChelldOS shippers went absolutely rabid after finding out about Don’t Say Goodbye, Ellen and her husband’s own special GLaDOS song.
youtube
And here’s a GLaDOS effect applied version:

It’s a pretty good song ngl. Both versions.
