I would have used "squicked" but that implies more of a disgust. This was less "ick" and more "ow". That is, "ick" was still part of it, but the "ow" was a much bigger part. And there was definitely sufficient shuddering to qualify for jibblies.

I know you probably weren't aiming for this reaction specifically (you did not go into any gory detail about the procedure, for which I am grateful, and kept the focus on the characters' reactions), and I'm the first to admit that I have a very low tolerance for images of pain and torture. Still, not much you can do about visecral reactions.

So, yeah. The bits in the middle gave me the jibblies and that sor tof overshadowed any other reaction I could have.

Oh, nice to see Wheatly though. I actually liked him more than GladOS. He has actual inflection to his voice!
