    Was it really a lie? *SPOILERS*

    So I just beat this game (the Still Alive version on the Xbox Live Marketplace,) and I have one question: Was GLaDOS telling the truth the entire game? I mean, at the very end, she said there was cake and that the Companion Cube was there too...AND IT WAS! So does that mean that she was telling the truth the entire game? I mean, if you did just give up at the fire pit, would there really be a counselor to guide you to the party!? I'm a little confused, but all I know is that this was a great game. Hilarious too, especially from the escape to the ending. I was also happy to find out that the Companion Cube was alive!
     
     
    And by give up at the fire pit, I mean give up right after you escape the fire...when it tells you to give up...not actually go into the fire. I guess people forgot about that... ?

    Usually people don't force you into a pit of fire before they congratulate you.

    If you "give up" at the fire pit you go into it and die. Then reload at the last save.

    If by counselor you mean a terrible burning sensation and by party you mean the great bingo game in the sky, then sure, GLaDOS said no lies.

    Only portal 2 will tell us... 
     
    Although, i'm willing to believe it was all true. Including the fact that 'she' was trying to kill you.

    No, after you portal right up to the top they she says, "I was only joking about the trying to murder you part. Put the portal gun down and lay on your stomach with your arms at your side and you will be greeted with a counselor who will guide you to the party."  
     
     
    Was that the truth?

    I trust GLaDOS.  I'm just going to assume that everything, including the trying to kill you, was part of the testing.  She wouldn't betray me like that... unless it was required for proper testing, of course.
