Edward Mike Davis could be the real-life inspiration for Cave Johnson in Portal 2.

He's just as arrogant, blunt, and harsh as the head of Aperture Science.

This is very similar to a lot of the terminal entries in the Fallout games as well.

Disagreeable traits? I do possess some, but I try to be congenial whenever I am dealing with assholes.

Does that mean I have a shot of being successful?
