I picked up The Orange Box yesterday. It's a collection of games including Half-Life 2, Team Fortress 2 and Portal.
I installed it and played through Portal last night. I had heard it was a short game, and it was - only a couple hours to beat it - but it is now my favourite game EVER! It's like a shooter, only instead of bullets, you have a portal gun that makes portals in walls to warp you or other objects around a room. So it's like a shooter, only converted into a puzzle game, and then turned partially back into an action game. And with an environment that will just drive you insane: white laboratory walls, computer equipment and an eerie computer voice from a possibly malfunctioning robot. And the storyline (what little there is) is very involving. Also the computer voice makes a few humourous comments.
So in conclusion, I miss my companion cube and the cake is a lie.

That's where that line is from?
I keep hearing it, but never knew where it was from...

That line is an expression of the deep emotional trauma this game simulates putting you through.

Emotional trauma? Sweet! Why have I never heard of this, and where can I play it.... (plotting) Tyto when we get our own place, forget things like food and running water, we're so putting everything into a kickarse gaming room

Don't forget the internet so we can play Team Fortress 2, an online shooter that comes as part of The Orange Box, along with Portal and three different Half-Life 2 games. They are all great, by the way.

Yeah, it's from Portal. And the cake is not a lie. It's in the credits. 
I enjoyed euthanizing my beast... er, companion cube. |

The cake is not a lie in the fact that it does actually exist, but more that you were never intended to have any.
