It's a joke in the game that GlaDos tells you. She uses cake as a motivational tool to get you to finish the levels. But in a certain "hidden" area that the player can access, the words "the cake is a lie!" are written in graffiti all over a wall.
If I wanted to be a douchebag of a parent, for my (nonexistant) child's birthday, I could get them a cake made ouf of cardboard. Then when they go to slice the cake I could be "THE CAKE IS A LIE!" Any parents out there that feel they aren't being big enough dicks to their kids (or if, I don't know, your kids have played this and would get a kick out of that) this is my gift to you.
Thanks a bunch, couldn't get past the third room even after countless tries.

Who is the female voice an what is the meaning of the Portal?
Why are people destroying the cameras in game?
And,why is female voice angry when the camera is destroyed?
What is that ,,cake,, thingy you were talking about?
Thank you anyway for walkthrough :)
ragnaroz97 2 years ago
The female voice is GLaDOS. She monitors your progress through the test stations as you go.
You get an achievement for destroying every camera in the game. It's not necessary, though.
You're destroying expensive equipment.. so I assume she's mad because of that. :P
GLaDOS promises you cake after you finish all the tests. The cake, however, is a lie.
