The end credits of first-person shooter Portal treated players to the song “Still Alive”. Wisconsin’s own Gifford Children’s Choir did the version of the tune.
Wonder how many of those kids have played the game?

Tuesday, March 30, 2010 at 9:30 AMGood job, but at the same time it was a weird choice.
I loved ‘still alive’, however I’ve played portal and the HL series so I get it.
Making a ‘neat’ gun, killing, dying, reference to imaginary companies… All good when aimed at gamers who know, but how many of their parents got it? :O

Wednesday, March 31, 2010 at 1:26 AMThat was the awesome and insane thing I’ve seen in a while. Can you imagine what must have been going through the organizer’s head when they picked that song? Imagine the months of other teachers asking “What the hell is that song?”. I would love to know what the initial reaction was of all the kids when they first heard it. How crazy must it have been to have kids practice that awesome song night after night even though must of them are unlikely to have even heard of Portal, let alone played it. I wonder how many parents got what it was from and silently punched the air and how many were just left going “What the ****?”
