Steampunk turret lamp

September 27, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Portal turret meets steampunk? Bedtime reading meets awesome? A lamp that can run away from you? Rob, who runs Artype, calls this fantastic creation a steampunk robot lamp and has it up for sale on his Etsy page. There’s a collection of equally unique steampunky items at the store but this oddly cute robot lamp […]

Portal 2 posters in the Portal style

July 15, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I think Sam Huckle has done a great job at capturing the atmosphere in the game with these Portal 2 posters. There’s some of the best phrases too; “Are you still there?” asks the gun that would like to shoot you and “It’s been a looong tiime”.

Happy Gamer Easter

March 30, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

When people came to the tomb, found the boulder rolled aside on the cavern empty, I wonder if they said… Are you there? Are Easter eggs a lie?

Steampunk Portal Gun

February 23, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Duncan Shirah is a talented sculptor. His creations are normally somewhere in between art and invention however the device above should be familiar. It’s a portal gun. Outside of work Duncan runs public demonstrations of iron casting which is pretty cool – and, perhaps, for science.

Valentines: I don’t hate you

February 12, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This rather awesome Portal turret is by the deviant artist Syntheticph. I think it catches the character of the friendly little turrets perfectly. They don’t hate you. They just kindly want to work together with you towards the common objective. There’s also a message from Wheatley’s space loving cousin.

The Turret Anthem is a little freaky

January 27, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The quirky animations of BioWare’s Zachariah Scott have been featured here before. There’s a collection of cute but creep Portal Turret videos to keep anyone entertained for a while on the site already. Scott, who’s worked on Mass Effect, has added to his collection with a longer than usual Turret anthem. A must for all […]

Pacific Rim: Who gave GLaDOS those toys?

December 13, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

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 […]

GLADoS and Aperture Labs wish you seasonal obedience

December 12, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Some fantastic art by Syntheticph. Cake is a lie… but seasonal joy? Shopping season? The stressful time at the end of the year? That’s all real.
