Talk:M.A.R.Go.T.

Name a nod to GlaDOS from portal anyone? --J.J.-Lopez 15:45, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

I added that to the Trivia section of either this page or the Presidential Metro page, looks like it got deleted though, but yeah that was the first thing I noticed when I talked to her. --DavidDavidson

Of course it was deleted, it takes more than an acronym that spells a name to be a reference. It's like saying GlaDOS is a reference to KITT from Knight Rider. If MARGoT wants to start telling us how unlikable we are while trying to kill us with poison gas, or dumping us in a fire then reminiscing about it later like a joke between two old friends, then you can put it down as a reference.

well, the are both female, have stupid acronyms, and try to kill you (if you dont pass the speech check that is). --J.J.-Lopez 15:26, 22 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Still not good enough, have you actually even played Portal? Or do you just go around saying 'the cake is a lie, hur hur hur' like all the other half-wits?  SpellChecker 15:16, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * if you played portal like i have you would know that the cake is not a lie you just cant have any of it!--Hellfire soldier

A fan of half life since the first one andhave played through the orange box and portal at least two or three times now. except for tf2 cuz there is no story to that. --J.J.-Lopez 00:01, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah because what you just typed is totally relevant to the article at hand. Less flexing the e-peen plz. Amorality 00:03, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Just inquiring how it is 'Not good enough' I've played Portal and they are pretty alike like the guy above said, I think the question is what is the difference (other than the game of course) --Sgtpanda 20:40, 17 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Perhaps because one doesn't try to kill you after a specific point, one doesn't obsess over cake, and one is un-killable. Guess which one. Nitpicker of the Wastes 20:43, 17 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Assume the party escort submission position. Fat Man Spoon 20:45, 17 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Okay the Cake thing is a good reason, didn't think of that...--Sgtpanda 20:57, 17 June 2009 (UTC)


 * You do kill GLaDOS at the end of Portal. M.A.R.Go.T is a fixed, indestructable terminal. GLaDOS runs Aperture's seemingly abandoned lab. M.A.R.Go.T runs a freaking Metro. If her voice wasn't female, nobody would be making these "connections". Nitpicker of the Wastes 21:02, 17 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Alright, Mr. Grizzly says it is, and his word is final. Fat Man Spoon 21:28, 17 June 2009 (UTC)


 * GLaDOS has the same ammout of letters as MARGoT both are female voiced computers controling buildings in a post apocalyptic world..... so I'm gonna go with yes, it is a nod at portal.--Atlas Lied! 15:52, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

I don't think this is a "nod" to the Portal computer at all. I recommend that be removed, for reasons specifically stated by previous posters. only "similarity" is a female-voiced AI. Which doesn't try to kill you, or obsess about cake. The reference is a lie. --Killchain 03:35, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, for the love of M'Atra. Not every reference needs to be hamfisted and vulgar. If it wasn't a reference, why is it female, cold, calculating and an AI controlling an abandoned facility? http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/thumb/5/5c/Scribe.jpg/15px-Scribe.jpg Tagaziel (call!) 08:24, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I think the references are way too vague. Only thing that makes sense to me at all about it is the AI's acronym, but it is just like the United States to spend extra money to make something fit into an "acronym." Although it does go against my better judgement, I don't think Bethesda catalogued every game pop culture icon on a brainstorm pad and included them all into their game. This fits right in with some kid trying to say "Steel Ingots" in The Pitt were a reference to crafting in Guild Wars. Killchain 12:42, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * It's vague? I and many others made the connection immediately, all I needed was the name, since both are acronyms, both are acronyms that are female names and both are of AIs. http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/thumb/5/5c/Scribe.jpg/15px-Scribe.jpg Tagaziel (call!) 17:59, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Only reason i said it is because I thought that it could be a referance. I didnt say it had to and no one has to get at each others throats here. Just thought we could put up some point-counterpoint thing to get it sorted out. Like it's stated above, I thought most of the people who had played portal would make the connection. --J.J.-Lopez

Gender
Part of the page refers to this character as "It", and part of it refers to the character as "Her". Which would be the proper word? The Grammar Police 02:13, November 12, 2010 (UTC)

Well its an AI with a female voice so it could go either way -Sebor13 August 19, 2011
