The brains at Hack A Day have put together a somewhat functional Portal gun. These are the guns that let you load companion cubes around with wild abandon.
The most dangerous unboxing ever
Some people may have grown tired of unboxing videos. I understand why. That said; someone can always build a better box. Combine that mysterious box with the fact that it was sent to Valve, the makers of some wonderful computer games, and suddenly the unboxing gets interesting again. Could this be an unboxing for science, […]
Portal Turrets: Cute, creepy and dangerous
Zachariah Scott is a badass and grandstander. It says so in his YouTube account. He works at BioWare as a cinematic designer and has worked on Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3. He went through a spell of creating Portal Turret video. They’re rather cute but also rather creepy. They’re funny and sad at […]

Perhaps it’s just a cookie jar that looks like a Companion Cube? A mystery. The Companion Cube is 7x7x7, fine ceramic […]
Video game planets challenge
This video was created by Tim Hijlkema (#FB) and has already shot past quarter of a million views in just a day. How many computer games can you recognise from their planets? I got, oh, just shy of ten. Some are easy; I got Portal and Assassin’s Creed with ease. Halo too. The question is […]
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. […]
