Is Birchy in this thread of something? Did he give up on trying to fuck that poor girl and move onto getting upset about indie games that not even /v/ cares enough about?

Oh yeah, theory- Chell was supposed to be a prisoner, her outfit, her disheveled look in the first game, it all makes her look like someone the world considered less that garbage being used as a lab rat, Aperture would buy death row prisoners from the government and use them in experiments.
They changed their mind on this in the production of Portal 2 but P1 was made entirely with this mindset.

I actually prefer the old look, she looked like a mess which suited this motif, the new look makes her look too much like a young adult movie heroine. There's a time and a place for a sexy character and this wasn't it in my opinion.
I mean, I still would, but that's just me I suppose.
