I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS.
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.

    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.
