  • 唔收錢系列(10) - 好歌推介

    這是Portal爆機後的主題曲"Still Alive"，感覺驚為天人，小弟打機多年，未聽過這麼好聽的主題曲。Still Alive是以幾乎被主角消滅的超級A.I.電腦身份唱的，大約的意思是「我還在做研究，我不會死」。

    歌曲作者是Jonathan Coulton(http://www.jonathancoulton.com)，是一位網絡唱作歌手(他的歌的版權是CC-non commercial的)。主唱的女聲在遊戲中為A.I.配音的Ellen McLain，她的聲音很清脆，聽Still Alive的感覺有點像聽The Cardigans的歌，總之就是好聽。Still Alive在youtube上的幾個主要版本已播放了超過600萬次，看來很受網民歡迎呢。

    This was a triumph.
    I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS.
    It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.
    Aperture Science
    We do what we must
    because we can.
    For the good of all of us.
    Except the ones who are dead.
    But there's no sense crying over every mistake.
    You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
    And the Science gets done.
    And you make a neat gun.
    For the people who are still alive.
    I'm not even angry.
    I'm being so sincere right now.
    Even though you broke my heart.
    And killed me.
    And tore me to pieces.
    And threw every piece into a fire.
    As they burned it hurt because I was so happy for you!
    Now these points of data make a beautiful line.
    And we're out of beta.
    We're releasing on time.
    So I'm GLaD. I got burned.
    Think of all the things we learned
    for the people who are still alive.
    Go ahead and leave me.
    I think I prefer to stay inside.
    Maybe you'll find someone else to help you.
    Maybe Black Mesa
    THAT WAS A JOKE.
    HAHA. FAT CHANCE.
    Anyway, this cake is great.
    It's so delicious and moist.
    Look at me still talking
    when there's Science to do.
    When I look out there, it makes me GLaD I'm not you.
    I've experiments to run.
    There is research to be done.
    On the people who are still alive.
    And believe me I am still alive.
    I'm doing Science and I'm still alive.
    I feel FANTASTIC and I'm still alive.
    While you're dying I'll be still alive.
    And when you're dead I will be still alive.
    STILL ALIVE

  • 不太像the cardigans, 但很好聽

  • 玩埋 game 感覺很好！
    有沒有玩多一次？可以開 commentary 聽製作過程，當中有配 AI 的女聲

  • @holys - 也許吧。純粹根據印象。

    @Jacky - 沒有了。我玩了一次,因為純屬解難,沒太大興致再玩了。反而HL2 ep2的解說我有專登玩多次黎睇。

  • 好像雷曼証券的自述…
    I feel FANTASTIC and I'm still alive.
    While you're dying I'll be still alive.
    And when you're dead I will be still alive...

    把這首歌送給 Paulson 和 Bernanke 吧！

  • @ansonho - haha,真係好中!

  • 夜晚八點幾我正在office為research proposal 苦戰中﹐雖然唔係理科﹐但都好多謝你首歌。

    遲D會有事向三師相求﹐事情再成熟的時候再聯絡你地。

  • 所有正在海角天涯做研究的人，是否包括在東方的她？

  • commentary 有配 AI 真人聲, 可以比較下聲音處理前後的分別 (首歌都應該有)

  • 爆機歌來說真的很有味道 !

  • 看著歌詞聽完全曲感覺有點寒，猶其是最後兩句︰

    While you're dying I'll be still alive.
    And when you're dead I will be still alive.

    意味著危機未完全解除，災難仍會捲土重來。

  • @ucckwk - 所以會有續集.而且在Half-life 2 ep2的結尾有提及這個機構,看來ep3會攪crossover。
