My favorite moment of Portal 2 is easily Cave Johnson's lemon rant. Easily one of the best quotes in all of video game history.

"All right, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons? Don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day! It thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's going to burn your house down! With the lemons! I'm going to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down! [COUGHING]"

Absolutely golden.

Was that the same dude that was the lawyer in the British show 'Outlaws'?

I swear they sound the same.

It's J. K. Simmons, he was in a lot of stuff so probably.

Woah not at all who I thought, I thought it was Stephen Merchant.

Stephan Merchant didn't voice Cave Johnston but he did voice Wheatley, another character from Portal 2.

I KNEW IT! That makes more sense, I forgot their names. Maybe it's time to go back and play it. What a great game.

Edit: I definitely need to as well as the other valve titles, i have no idea who cave johnson is it turns out.

Also, if I had to pick, resident evil 7 and 8. The best story games period and the best horror games period.

Go in cold! And definitely play Portal first. It's really short.
