Valve has put out a job advertisement for a voice over role in Portal 2, which amazingly gives up some spoilerific info on the game's plot. Read no further if you don't want to spoil things for yourself. The casting is for character Cave Johnson - the boss of Aperture (the company that developed the Portal Gun) who, according to the plot of the first game and the real-world Aperture science website, is dead.

But just spare a thought for poor, violated Portal, who's sitting rocking and whimpering in a corner as we speak.
