Hello Dr. Ratman. How are you today? [[Fine Thanks. And you?]] [[Good.]] [[Lets get started.]]

I am doing well. Would you like to test? [[yes]] [[no]] [[Lets talk]]

Would you like to test, Dr. Ratman? [[yes]] [[no]] [[Lets talk]]

Yes sir. Would you like to run a test? [[yes]] [[no]] [[Lets talk]]

Test subject #3657 has entered test chamber 1. Their estimated sucess rate is 98.5 percent. The test is rather simplistic, actually. There isn't even any dangerous elements. Perhaps we should change that for the next subject... [[What?]] [[Yes.]] [[No.]] [[How did you come up with that?]]

What would you like to do, Dr. Ratman? [[test]] [[Lets talk]] [[Shut down]]

What would you like to talk about, Dr. Ratman? [[Logos]] [[Pathos]] [[Ethos]] [[Kairos]]

As you understand it, Logos is: [[an appeal to reason; a well strucutred argument.]] [[the use of emotion.]] [[the credibility that the speaker has about a subject.]] [[stupid.]] [[the timing of a well delivered argument, relative to what is going on.]]

As you understand it, Pathos is: [[an appeal to reason; a well strucutred argument.]] [[the use of emotion.]] [[the credibility that the speaker has about a subject.]] [[stupid.]] [[the timing of a well delivered argument, relative to what is going on.]]

As you understand it, Ethos is: [[an appeal to reason; a well strucutred argument.]] [[the use of emotion.]] [[the credibility that the speaker has about a subject.]] [[stupid.]] [[the timing of a well delivered argument, relative to what is going on.]]

As you understand it, Kairos is: [[an appeal to reason; a well strucutred argument.]] [[the use of emotion.]] [[the credibility that the speaker has about a subject.]] [[stupid.]] [[the timing of a well delivered argument, relative to what is going on.]]

<<print either("Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test.", "Please note that we have added a consequence for failure. Any contact with the chamber floor will result in an unsatisfactory mark on your official testing record, followed by death.", "Remember, the Aperture Science Bring Your Daughter to Work Day is the perfect time to have her tested.")>>

<<print either ("As part of a required Enrichment Center protocol, the previous statement that we would not monitor the test area was a complete fabrication. We will stop enhancing the truth in three... two... *zzzt*", "You are kidding me. Did you just stuff that Aperture Science thing-we-don't-know-what-it-does into an Aperture Science Emergency Intelligence Incinerator?", " When I said "deadly neurotoxin," the "deadly" was in massive sarcasm quotes. I could take a bath in this stuff. Put it on cereal, rub it right into my eyes. Honestly, it's not deadly at all... to *me*. You, on the other hand, are going to find its deadliness... a lot less funny.")>>

<<print either ("Momentum, a function of mass and velocity, is conserved between portals. In layman's terms, speedy thing goes in, speedy thing comes out.", " Unbelievable. You, *subject name here,* must be the pride of *subject hometown here.*", "While it has been a faithful companion, your Companion Cube cannot accompany you through the rest of the test. If it could talk - and the Enrichment Center takes this opportunity to remind you that it cannot - it would tell you to go on without it, because it would rather die in a fire than become a burden to you.")>>

<<print either ("The Enrichment Center promises to always provide a safe testing environment. In dangerous testing environments, the Enrichment Center promises to always provide useful advice. For instance: the floor here will kill you. Try to avoid it.", "Due to mandatory scheduled maintenance, the next test is currently unavailable. It has been replaced with a live-fire course designed for military androids. The Enrichment Center apologizes and wishes you the best of luck.", "The Enrichment Center is required to remind you that the Weighted Companion Cube cannot talk. In the event that it does talk The Enrichment Centre asks you to ignore its advice.")>>

Would you like to run a test? [[yes]] [[no]] [[Lets talk]]

Goodbye Dr. Ratman. Please visit [ Video Game Textbook|http://videogametext.my-free.website/] to learn more about this game. Happy testing, and remember, the future starts with you* *If you are simple-minded, old, or irradiated in such a way that the future should not start with you, please return to your primitive tribe and send back someone better-qualified for testing.

I See. So LOGIC is an appeal to reason. I would like to apply this to a test. Can we try that? [[Yes we can']] [[Lets talk]]

I see. So an appeal to emotion sparks some emotional response in the test subject. Shall we use this in a test? [[Sure]] [[Lets talk]]

I see. So an ethical appeal is when a speaker provides reasons for why they are an authority, or why their support is relevant to the subject. Shall we use this in a test? [[Yep]] [[Lets talk]]

As much as I agree with your assessment, I am afraid that is an invalid response. [[Lets talk]]

I see. So Kairos is the timing of the argument relative to what is going on in politics, society, history, and culture. Shall we use this in a test? [[Yeah]] [[Lets talk]]

Subject #45452 has entered the test chamber. Her statisics are as follows: strength= 20% intelligence= 40% Tenacity= 75% Judging by these statistics, logically she should survive the test. [[Correct]] [[Wrong]]

The test was a success. Thank you for teaching me. Shall we test again? [[Shut down]]

The test subject has failed the course. Should we restart? [[Lets talk]] [[Shut down]]

Subject #5637 has entered the test chamber. His statisics are as follows: strength= 60% intelligence= 30% Tenacity= 80% Tenacity is an important emotion in testing. If we compliment him on his drive to finish the test, he should do better on the next one. This is an example of appealing to his emotion. [[Correct]] [[Wrong]]

Subject #7745 has entered the test chamber. His statisics are as follows: strength= 30% intelligence= 80% Tenacity= 30% This test subject is one of our Aperature Scientists. He should therefore, ethically, have an easier time with the test. This is because he understands how tests work and has built a few himself. [[Correct]] [[Wrong]]

Subject #2345 has entered the test chamber. Her statisics are as follows: strength= 30% intelligence= 75% Tenacity= 50% It says in her file that she is an avid movie fan. If we use famous motivational quotes from current movies, we will be relating to her and encouraging her. [[Correct]] [[Wrong]]
