*In the 2011 videogame Portal 2, the New Mission paradox is one of three read by GLaDOS when she desides to use them against Wheatley, believing that a paradox will overload his mind and fry every circuit in him. However, she only uses the Liar's paradox, and to no effect, because she almost suffers the effects herself by just saying it. The text for this version of the paradox read "New Mission: Refuse This Mission".
