** ''VideoGame/Portal2'': [=GLaDOS=] and Chell are still not identified by name except for [[spoiler:an easy-to-miss poster for Bring Your Daughter to Work Day]] in the latter's case. Wheatley refers to himself by name twice but no-one else does. He also refers to [=GLaDOS=] as "''her''" several times early on in the game, even when he has no reason to think you know who he's talking about. This is a little jarring.
