Riona, have you seen this? It is Penny singing Still Alive with the guy who wrote the Portal songs. The sound quality isn't all that great, but it's pretty awesome nonetheless.

I've never watched Extras, but I have listened to the Gervais-Merchant-Pilkington podcasts in the past. It was quite strange to hear Stephen Merchant's voice in the context of a videogame.

Then, having saved it, I felt really bad about rigging the production line to send operational turrets into the disposal. Sometimes they say 'I did everything you aaaaasked!' as they're flung away and I feel like a terrible person.

Have you ever played Red Dead Redemption? My entire style of play became centred around keeping my horse alive.
