We hired GLaDOS...

...to come up with our April Fool's Day jape this year. On hearing some of the responses from the community, she penned this little ditty for the team.
Feel free to sing along - the tune is obviously "Still Alive"
This was a triumph!
I'm making a note here: huge success.
It's hard to overstate
my satisfaction.
Project Reality.
We do what we must
Because we game.
For the good of all of you
Who love fastropes too.
But there's no sense crying
over every spoof,
You just keep on trying
'til you run out of goats.
And the dev'ing gets done
and you make a neat gun
for the people who
love fastropes.
We're not even angry.
I'm being so sincere right now -
even though you doubted us
and called bull.
And tore us to pieces.
And teabagged every piece.
As you dipped it hurt because
we were so happy for you!
Now these targa files
makes a sweet texture,
we're out of beta
we're releasing on time!
So I'm glad you got burned -
think of all the things you learned -
bout the people who
love fastropes.
Dev1200 - go ahead and leave us
We'd prefer you stay behind
Maybe you'll find someone else
to mod for you?
Maybe Eve of Destruction?
That was a joke - haha, fat chance.
Anyway this mod is great.
It's so c001 and l337!
Look at me still typing
when there's work to do!
When I look out there
it makes me glad I'm not you!
We've got open betas to run,
there is hoaxing to be done,
on the people who
love fastropes
and believe me that we
love fastropes
We're running betas and we
love fastropes
I feel fantastic and we
love fastropes...
(etc)
