El Desafío Digital

Seguro que todos aquellos que os hayáis terminado esa maravilla que es Portal os habréis reído a carcajadas con la canción que aparece en los créditos, cantada por esa irritante voz femenina enlatada. Por si alguien no lo sabía, la canción, que se titula Still Alive, es de Jonathan Coulton. En su blog explicó hace un par de meses cómo fue el proceso de su reclutamiento y de la creación de la canción.

Os dejo enlaces a la canción y tras el salto tenéis la hilarante letra. Tengo pendiente escribir un análisis del juego, algo que espero hacer en breve, pero os recomiendo desde ya mismo que juguéis a Portal en cuanto tengáis la ocasión. No os arrepentiréis.

Youtube | Portal - “Still Alive” Credits Song

This was a triumph
I’m making a note here: huge success
It’s hard to overstate my satisfaction
Aperture Science
We do what we must because we can
For the good of all of us
Except the ones who are dead
But there’s no sense crying over every mistake
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake
And the science gets done and you make a neat gun
For the people who are still alive

I’m not even angry
I’m being so sincere right now
Even though you broke my heart and killed me
And tore me to pieces
And threw every piece into a fire
As they burned it hurt because
I was so happy for you
Now these points of data make a beautiful line
And we’re out of beta, we’re releasing on time
So I’m glad I got burned, think of all the things we learned
For the people who are still alive

Go ahead and leave me
I think I’d prefer to stay inside
Maybe you’ll find someone else to help you
Maybe Black Mesa
That was a joke, ha ha, fat chance
Anyway this cake is great
It’s so delicious and moist
Look at me still talking when there’s science to do
When I look out there it makes me glad I’m not you
I’ve experiments to run, there is research to be done
On the people who are still alive

And believe me I am still alive
I’m doing science and I’m still alive
I feel fantastic and I’m still alive
And while you’re dying I’ll be still alive
And when you’re dead I will be still alive
Still alive
Still alive
