GlaDOS lends her voice for Gary Hudston's Portal 2 marriage proposal
Ricardo Trejo
Popping the question can be both a creative and stressful process. For Gary Hudston however, it took the work of one very determined level editor (TophHattWaffle) days of his life to create this project. But with a little help from Valve, he was able to create the ultimate gaming proposal, complete with Ellen Mclain’s (GlaDOS) support. — More after the break!
From the thread found on reddit, some information about the project was procured and can be read after the video below:
Ilverin: Gary Hudston got a hold of two awesome mappers with the idea of proposing to his girlfriend via a custom Portal 2 map. He got in contact with Valve with the idea and they liked it so much that they got Ellen Mclain (actual voice actress of GLaDOS in Portal 2) to record custom dialogue for the proposal during the Portal 2 DLC recording sessions. Unfortunately for the internet, this video is just gameplay of the map and Gary didn’t want to make anything suspicious by recording his girlfriend’s reaction. She said yes.

That was amazing, you are lucky to have worked on such a project!
TopHATTwaffle: Thanks it was a super hard to fit this in with work. And we had a rather short time span to complete the project. A hellish 60+ hours a chamber…
How much did you charge?
TopHATTwaffle: Nothing, I did it for free because it was a worthy cause.
Are you invited to the wedding?
TopHATTwaffle: I’m in the US, he’s in the UK :/
Maybe we could raise the cash? $2 each, that’s only 350 Redditors for a $700 plane ticket, although there’s Paypal fees to take into account. Assuming that the husband to be is interested in having you there! (centipeed)
