Ok... I may look dumb for asking...

But something evades my knowledge, and I think its time I asked...














What does "The Cake is a Lie" refer too? I seen the VG comics of it, as well as it being reffered to several times in the forums... but I have no idea what it means... I don't even think its funny. Did I miss the memo?

 

I think it's one of them 'Got Milk' things, I'm not sure.

 

The cake may be a lie

but the Cupcake is pwnage :3

Roughly translates to "your promised reward is merely a fictitious motivator". Popularized by the game "Portal" (found on Half-Life 2's "Orange Box" game release for PC, X-Box 360, and PS3). During the game, an electronic voice encourages you to solve intricate puzzles using cake as a motivating perk. When you have "broken out" of the game's initial testing phase (from threat of death), you find scrawls on walls of the innards of the testing center warning you that "the cake is a lie".

 

Thanks Laurence Fox... most insightful.
