Valve has put out a job advertisementfor a voice over role in Portal 2, which amazingly gives up somespoilerific info on the game's plot. Read no further if you don't wantto spoil things for yourself.
The casting is for character CaveJohnson - the boss of Aperture (the company that developed the PortalGun) who, according to the plot of the first game and the real-worldAperture science website, is dead. Or is he?
He seems to play apretty big role in the next game, in which the casting call says he"goes from sidekick to principle antagonist", suggesting we could be infor a history-exposing prequel. Or that he wasn't dead in the firstplace?
The ad (from subscriber-only Breakdown Express, via Kotaku)also explains that he "starts to lose his grip on humanity as the storyprogresses", while confirming that the game will maintain the darkcomedy tone of the original.
CVG had a nice chat with Valve'sDoug Lombardi back in April, who told us of the team's lofty ambitionsfor the next Portal game. Check out what he had to say here.
