Cake Anyone

[Selkcip]

In case you didn't see the latest Steam news update, Valve is celebrating its 11th birthday this week. The last part is what caught my attention: "Feel free to sing along and EAT CAKE." Anybody else think there's a connection?

[half lunatic]

Yes but who has been baked?

[Hectic Glenn]

Hmmm seems very likely there would be a connection, keep an eye out for any changes to the site or other variations in videos etc. Time for a sweep!

Why is this posted in the portal section? Does "Eat cake," Have some connection to Portal? D:

lol, I can imagine it now.

Portal narrator:
"If you don't succeed, you fail, and will be terminated, If you do succeed, YOU GET TO EAT CAKE! http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t179/logokiller/emot-awesome.gif ."

Cake is very linked into Portal. One of the symbols that lights up at the start of a level to give you a rough idea of what is to come is a piece of cake. The announcer in one of the videos says something like
"When the test is completed, you will be baked, and there will be cake".

I hate it when that thing flashes.

It seems to me that Valve should release some information on that day. That would be very nice and would be something I'd call a "PARTY FAVOR" for all the Portal fans out there. This thread has given me some Ideas....

take away the letter 'i's in THECAKEISALIE and you get 'THECAKESALE'

Looks like a house with a very small garden.

What kind of ****ed-up housed you live in?

Never really noticed the the "i" thing before very cool.

[tfotdead]

lol don't think that THECAKESALE is some clue, just a strange coincidence.

A cake one. Anyways, what do you think this cake is like? Does it have frosting? Is it chocolate? What is it?
