Photographer John Jiao did a great job with this snap. The cosplayer is Lainey Cat, who sells prints via Etsy, and has captured a perfect human-style GLaDOS. Isn’t that exactly the sort of smile that you shouldn’t trust?
GlaDOS ceiling lamp – in your very own home
Look impressive? You can have this GlaDOS ceiling lamp in your own home. That’s right; it’s a 3D printed creation. You can pick up the 3D print files at Thingiverse.com, the instructions at Instructables.com and 3D printers are getting easy to find. Staples.com, for example, sells them.
More Qualcomm, less GLaDOS in latest Pacific Rim trailer
The latest Pacific Rim trailer comes to us via the Consumer Electronics Show, CES, and the chip maker Qualcomm. Guillermo del Toro, the director, turned up on stage for the tech comnpany to talk shop and show off what processing power can achieve these days. We’ve also been told that although you’ll hear the actual […]
Pacific Rim: Who gave GLaDOS those toys?
This blogger is about a day late and a million and a half plays late for posting Del Toro’s latest trailer for his upcoming mecha versus monster movie: Pacific Rim. There was a chance that this post could gain some cred by saying; “Yup! That really is GLAdOS, the AI from Portal”… but everyone knows […]
A Doug Rattmann movie – Aperture: Lab Ratt
Doug Rattmann, aka Ratman, is an interesting character from Portal mythos. He helped save Chell. Rattmann was a scientist for Aperture and worked on the project – although it’s believed he never worked directly on GLADoS and, in fact, argued against trusting her. He is the one responsible for “The cake is a lie” warning. […]
This Is Aperture
If you’ve seen The Nightmare Before Christmas then you’ll recall the This is Halloween song. If not; it’s time to watch it. This remake – This is Aperture – has zoomed over the half a million views mark and only popped online a few days ago. When I say “remake” I mean Portal 2-ification of […]
Whispering GLaDOS water fountain
Okay, that’s silly. The concept of a whispering GLaDOS water fountain being set up and used by the public in New York is just silly. She’s not whispering. It’s just that this is filmed on a digital camera normally used for static pictures. I do the same with mine. We’re lucky there’s an audio at […]
Cheeky Wheatley Puppet
Wheatley is one of the stars of Portal 2. He’s cheeky. He has a strange charisma. He’s a round robot with a glowing blue eye – well, eye-like thing. Furin Cosplay took a large lump of florist foam and made a fantastic Wheatley puppet. You can read about it all in a fantastic blog post […]
Want You Gone: Fan made Portal 2 music video rocks
I’m a big fan of the Ellen McLain and Jonathan Coulton partnership in Portal and Portal 2. I’ll admit that Want You Gone is my second favourite of the two ending songs but it’s still pretty good. It’s actually pretty hard to find samples of Ellen McLain’s opera singing – yes, the voice of GLaDOS […]
Ellen McLain’s music: GLaDOS sings
The voice of GLaDOS in Portal and Portal II is Ellen McLain. While not being awesome as a voice actor in Half-Life 2, Team Fortress 2 or Portal, Ellen McLain is an opera singer. I’ve not found it easy to dig up samples of Ellen McLain singing. I’m sure people search for McLain’s music but […]
