Career[edit] Coulton's music tends to fit a folk rock style, with elements of pop and indie rock. Early career and geek culture[edit] Coulton graduated in 1993 from Yale, where he was a member of the Yale Whiffenpoofs.[1] A former computer programmer employed at Cluen, a New York City software company,[2] and self-described geek, Coulton tended to write quirky, witty lyrics about science fiction and technology: a man who thinks in simian terms, a mad scientist who falls in love with one of his captives, and the dangers of bacteria. Rare topical songs include 2005's "W's Duty", which sampled President George W. Bush, and 2006's "Tom Cruise Crazy". In the early days, Coulton's music was discovered by podcasters.

He is now the Contributing Troubadour at Popular Science magazine, whose September 2005 issue was accompanied by a five-song set by Coulton called Our Bodies, Ourselves, Our Cybernetic Arms.[7] He was also the Musical Director for The Little Gray Book Lectures.[8] Thing a Week[edit] Portal (video game) Portal was acclaimed as one of the most original games of 2007, despite being considered short in length. The game received praise for its unique gameplay and darkly humorous story. It received acclaim for the character of GLaDOS, voiced by Ellen McLain in the English-language version, and the end credits song "Still Alive" written by Jonathan Coulton for the game. Not counting sales through Steam, over four million copies of the game have been sold since its release. The game's popularity has led to official merchandise from Valve including plush Companion Cubes, as well as fan recreations of the cake and portal gun.

A sequel, Portal 2, was released in 2011, adding several new gameplay mechanics and a cooperative multiplayer mode.[8] A more advanced portal technique. The character builds up speed using two blue portals, to reach an otherwise unreachable area. Chell and all other objects in the game that can fit into the portal ends will pass through the portal. "How I Met Your Mother" (2005) Alyson Hannigan. "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1997) Neil Patrick Harris.
