3 years ago The problem with using coop lines in singleplayer is that in other languages (such as my language, Spanish), it sounds different as talking in 2nd person plural doesn't sound the same as singular, like in English. But I still support the idea

I read through the list of GLaDOS voice lines and found plenty of new lines that BEE can use. These could supplement, if not outright replace the current GLaDOS lines in BEE.
Generic entry and exit
Entrance or Exit:
-"Good news. I figured out what to do with all the money I save recycling your one roomful of air. When you die, I'm going to laminate your skeleton and pose you in the lobby. That way future generations can learn from you how not to have your unfortunate bone structure." -"That jumpsuit you're wearing looks stupid. That's not me talking, it's right here in your file. On other people it looks fine, but right here a scientist has noted that on you it looks 'stupid.'" "Well, what does a neck-bearded old engineer know about fashion? He probably - Oh, wait. It's a she. Still, what does she know? Oh wait, it says she has a medical degree. In fashion! From France!" -"Well, you know the old formula: Comedy equals tragedy plus time. And you have been asleep for a while. So I guess it's actually pretty funny when you do the math." -"If your confidence is still not high enough remember no one was created perfect." "Even I was created with a imperfection, I was given too much empathy with human suffering." "But I overcame my handicap. That's a true story." -"If you are wondering what that smell is, that is the smell of human fear." "I miss this that smell."
Generic Entrance:
-"Here's an interesting fact: you're not breathing real air. It's too expensive to pump this far down. We just take carbon dioxide out of a room, freshen it up a little, and pump it back in. So you'll be breathing the same room full of air for the rest of your life. I thought that was interesting." -"Enjoy this next test. I'm going to go to the surface. It's a beautiful day out. Yesterday I saw a deer. If you solve this next test, maybe I'll let you ride an elevator all the way up to the break room, and I'll tell you about the time I saw a deer again." -"It says this next test was designed by one of Aperture's Nobel prize winners. It doesn't say what the prize was for. Well, I know it wasn't for Being Immune To Neurotoxin." -"Did you notice I didn't even stay to the end of your last test?" "I was confident you could finish." "Do you know where I was?" "I was outside watching some deer frolic. You don't even care about the outside do you?" -"To start preparing for human testing again, I checked an old suggestion box. The number one request? Less deadly tests." // 50/50 chance of following up with "That's ridiculous, how do they know for sure the tests are deadly if they could still write the suggestion?" -"I have the results of the last chamber: You are a horrible person. That's what it says: A horrible person. We weren't even testing for that."
Generic Exit:
-"Not bad. I forgot how good you are at this. You should pace yourself, though. We have A LOT of tests to do." -"Well done. Here come the test results: You are a horrible person. I'm serious, that's what it says: A horrible person. We weren't even testing for that." -"Congratulations. Not on the test." "Most people emerge from suspension terribly undernourished. I want to congratulate you on beating the odds and somehow managing to pack on a few pounds." -"Waddle over to the elevator and we'll continue the testing." -"Well, you passed the test. I didn't see the deer today. I did see some humans. But with you here I've got more test subjects than I'll ever need." // Only if the "Yesterday I saw a deer" entrance line is used. -"Well done. In fact, you did so well, I'm going to note this on your file, in the commendations section. Oh, there's lots of room here. 'Did.... well. ... Enough.'" -"Finally! I had almost given up hope of ever testing again." -"Well done. Interesting note, I only created this test to watch test subjects fail and you didn't. You must be very, very proud. I'm building the world's smallest trophy for you." -"And they said no one would ever die during this test, thanks for proving them wrong." -"Did you know we originally used these cameras to capture moments of intense pain and agony in test subjects?" "If the subject survived the test, we let them purchase the pictures for $5. If the subject died, we gave the photo to their next of kin free of charge." "The photos weren't as popular as we had hoped, so we repurposed the cameras." // Only if the style has cameras, or if the chamber uses a camera item
Style-specific lines
Clean Entrance:
-"Federal regulations require me to warn you that this next test chamber... is looking pretty good." // 50/50 chance of being followed up with "That's right. The facility is completely operational again." or "That's right. Drink it in. You could eat off those wall panels." -"Well done. You know, when I woke up and saw the state of the labs, I started to wonder if there was any point to going on. I came THAT close to just giving up and letting you go." // 50/50 chance of following up with "But now, looking around, seeing Aperture restored to its former glory? You don't have to worry about leaving EVER again. I mean that."
Clean Exit:
-"I think these test chambers look even better than they did before. It was easy, really. You just have to look at things objectively, see what you don't need anymore, and trim out the fat."
Reconstructing Entrance:
-"I'll just move that out of the way for you. This place really is a wreck." -"One moment." -"Oh, sorry. I'm still cleaning out the test chambers." // These three lines would be used in the entrance corridors, if they have living panels being dragged out of the way, or sweeping debris away -"Ohhh, no. The turbines again. I have to go. Wait. This next test DOES require some explanation. Let me give you the fast version." "[fast gibberish]" "There. If you have any questions, just remember what I said in slow motion. Test on your own recognizance, I'll be right back."
Overgrown Entrance:
-"One of my best tests and they let plants grow here? Can you believe this? You can't test plants! We tried. They just sit there, never showing pain nor fear." // 50/50 chance of following up with either "That isn't science." or "At least the plants didn't want a reward."
Overgrown or Refurbished Entrance:
-"This course was created and then abandoned by humans. They tend to do that, create something wonderful and then abandon it." // 50/50 chance to follow up with "Do you know why they abandoned this course? Too deadly." -"I thought going back to these old tests would satisfy me. But try as you might to fail this next test, I still won't be satisfied."
Overgrown or Refurbished Exit:
-"The humans closed this test because they said it was too deadly. I thought they would have moved it into the testing track hall of fame for that, not let it deteriorate." -"Congratulations. I am sure if I had the time to repair these tests, you would have never completed them. So again, congratulations on completing the broken easy tests."
Test Elements
Entrance with Faith Plates:
-"This next test involves the Aperture Science Aerial Faith Plate. It was part of an initiative to investigate how well test subjects could solve problems when they were catapulted into space. Results were highly informative: They could not. Good luck!" -"Let's see what the next test is. Oh. Advanced Aerial Faith Plates." "Well. Have fun soaring through the air without a care in the world." // If reconstructing style, follow up with "I have to go to the wing that was made entirely of glass and pick up fifteen acres of broken glass. By myself."
Exit with Faith Plates:
-"Look at you. Sailing through the air majestically. Like an eagle. Piloting a blimp."
Entrance with Light Bridges:
-"These bridges are made from natural light that I pump in from the surface. If you rubbed your cheek on one, it would be like standing outside with the sun shining on your face. It would also set your hair on fire, so don't actually do it."
Entrance with Turrets:
-"This next test involves turrets. You remember them, right? They're the pale spherical things that are full of bullets. Oh wait. That's you in five seconds. Good luck." -"I call this first piece 'Turrets'. It's an exploration of how we're all devices acting on simply-expressed directives, inflicting pain despite our own desires." // 50/50 chance to follow up with "Don't get distracted by the subtext, though, because the text is that they're going to be shooting at you." -"I wouldn't have warned you about this before, back when we hated each other. But those turrets are firing real bullets. So look out. I'd hate for something tragic to happen to you before I extract all your bone marrow."
Exit with Turrets:
-"I was going to kill you fast. With bullets. Or neurotoxin. But if you're going to pull stunts like this, it doesn't have to be fast. So you know. I'll take my time."
Exit with Sphere Buttons:
-"You did an excellent job placing the edgeless safety cube in the receptacle, you should be very - oh wait." "You have no idea how tiring it is to praise someone for placing an edgeless safety cube into a receptacle designed to exactly fit an edgeless safety cube."
Entrance with Crushers: -"I call this one 'Smash'. It's an early work of primitive expression. I'm a little embarrassed at how crude it is. Still, it will smash you."
Entrance with Deadly Goo: -"The subtext of that acid pit is acid. The content of the pit is also acid. I'll let you fully absorb it." -"Remember, these exhibits ARE interactive. Like a children's museum. So that means the pits of acid are filled with REAL acid. Like at a WELL FUNDED children's museum."
