Director Guillermo del Toro, who is previously responsible for films like Hellboy and Pan’s Labyrinth, revealed the trailer to his newest project last night.
The film is called Pacific Rim and it will feature voice actor Ellen McLain as a robot AI. McLain did the voice work for Portal’s antagonist GLaDOS (via Polygon).
As you can see in the trailer below (0:47 sec), the AI in the film has the same audio processing on it as GLaDOS does in Portal.

Valve will be entering schools across America soon. Teach With Portals, Valve’s first step into the teaching market, makes me wonder why they didn’t think of this before: utilizing lessons, designed by teachers themselves, you get educational versions of Portal 2 and Puzzle Maker, 2 Valve-crafted video games.
All you have to do is be a real teacher (in a very GLaDOS way, they have methods of finding out whether you’re actually an educator) and sign up for free for the Education Beta on the Steam for Schools website — and soon, you’ll be getting the values of the Portal world to your students.

With the recent launch of Apple’s iPhone 4S, the artificially intelligent personal assistant Siri has been getting all the love from those who think voice-control is the way the future for navigation.
Not so fast says Corey Thomas, who just posted the video below to Vimeo showing his latest voice-control project using Kinect…and a little help from Portal’s GLaDOS.

It’s been almost a week since Apple unveiled the voice-controlled Siri personal assistant feature as an exclusive to the new iPhone 4S, and we already have a video mocking it. Why bother? Out of excitement for the iPhone 4S and Portal 2 DLC, of course.
The video below made by Jeff Heimbuch shows the latest Apple ad overdubbed with a voiceover sounding a lot like GLaDOS from Portal. The voice isn’t perfect, as it was made using a number of computer programs and not 100% accurate to the original, but it sounds close enough to complete the effect.
