    Am I the only person that prefers the JoCo version to GLaDOS? That said, he's had better performances than this one.

    As much as I agree with the general idea that Ellen McLain was a better singer for this, massive credit to Jonathan for writing it. [2] Fantastic game and song.

    o: Holy. Fudge.I heard this song on youtube, there's a video with L and this song... It's from a "Portal" game, right? It's creepy how much it fits "Death Note" too... Anyway, I like it! Nice voice (:
