companion cube on Technabob...

How do you make Portal’s… Weighted Companion Cube even more adorable and indispensable? By making it talk and move on its own. But since that will never happen, ThinkGeek has the next best solution: a Companion Cube Cookie Jar. Cube. Jar. Jar Cube. Cubic Jar.

The following post is from Technabob guest writer Jack Kieffer of Cool Gizmo Toys, a site written by geeks, for geeks. Thanks, Jack!

As much as we wish it did, the Portal… Companion Cube Clock does not get its energy from a GLaDOS potato. Created by Amanda Stuart, a.k.a Minniethemink,

Trademark and copyright issues notwithstanding, Chris Myles could have enough goodies to start a Portal… trinkets and baubles business. After wowing the interwebs with his Personality Cores and Lemon Grenades, he’s back with a doubly geeky toy: Rubik’s Companion Cubes.

Sure, the turrets and robots of Portal… have been getting more attention out of late, but we should never count out the charm of the Companion Cube. Just take a look at this Weighted Companion Cube sweater. It will never threaten to stab you.

Finally, there’s a Weighted Companion Cube mod that actually has enough heft to earn its name. This custom-built subwoofer bears a striking resemblance to that little cube that you had to euthanize the last time you played Portal….
