In Supergiant Games' XBLA hit Bastion, the narrator (a.k.a. The Stranger, a.k.a. Rucks) explains the events as they unfold. He's not an unbiased observer, though. He doesn't seem to like Portal 2's Cave Johnson…or he wouldn't, if they'd ever met.

Does that sound confusing? Watch the video below and it will make more sense. Between this and that Turret business, something strange seems to be brewing in the Bastion.

Portal invading every game possible = Maximum win.

Bastion + Portal? sounds good to me!

I would be intensely pleased if Valve released a rebuttal with Cave Johnson. I imagine it would be hard and expensive to get JK Simmons to come in just for a 2 minute VoiceOver...but man would it be worth it. "who am I? I'm the guy who's gonna burn your house down. WITH THE LEMONS!"

Get your Portal out of my everything that's not Portal. That is all.

Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your *** lemons! What am I supposed to do with these?! Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man who’s gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I’m gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down! That is the best rant in the history of history.

Let's see a fight! Cave Johnson and his exploding lemons versus... whatever Rucks has in Bastion (if he has anything)!

...Hypothetically, of course.

Upcoming Portal 2 Dlc plus this stuff? I think they might start dropping hints about the dlc in other games...

That was enjoyable and unexpected.

I want a Portal spin-off with Cave Johnson replacing GLADOS.
by Sqwizal Tuesday, August 23, 2011 at 01:25 PM

That was..unexpectedly awesome...hypothetically speaking of course ;)

Cool, but i like cave johnson, he was hilarious
by Javaddah Tuesday, August 23, 2011 at 01:27 PM

Are they implying that Rucks is the man Cave said "Why don't you invent a safety door that wont hit you on the butt on the way out?!" before firing him?
by Trevain Tuesday, August 23, 2011 at 01:42 PM

I would love to see the point.
by Paladin Revenant Tuesday, August 23, 2011 at 01:59 PM

I love listening to Cave Johnson rant. I'd love to take him out for drinks. But I wouldn't want to work with him.
