You’ll also notice that it even talks in that weird creepy voice. It’s an awesome project and i can’t wait to see the frame when it is added.

The cube is made of ceramic, measures 7″ x 7″ x 7″ and is probably heavy enough to be useful in case you encounter any button puzzles.

Warp to ThinkGeek to order the Companion Cube Cookie Jar for $30 (USD).

These are all cool, but we don’t need any more Daleks thank you. Haven’t they caused enough trouble? Plus, their voices are terrible. They cut right through your ears and assault your brain as if with a sonic plunger hand. You would think that the Doctor would have been able to shut them up by now.

If you happen to be located near the Derby Maker Faire on June 3rd, you can play this course. It’s weird and crazy and I love it. Too bad I won’t be in the area. We need more crazy mini golf courses like this one.

This inflatable Sentry Turret stands 40-inches tall. Apparently, that’s the height a real-life Portal turret would stand. This is about as close as you’ll come to a real bullet-firing turret today. Ok, not really, but I can’t wait to see if someone manages to graft an Airsoft gun to one of these things.

The inflatable Sentry Turret is available right now for $24.99(USD) over at ThinkGeek, and would make a perfect graduation gift for the geeks you know getting out of school this year. I think this would also make a really cool pool toy for the summer at the beach or pool. Or your cubicle.

This amazing piece of junk art is the work of deviantART member batman-n-bananas. Just like the maker of the steampunk NERF rifle, batman-n-bananas went with the trusted “attach pretty much anything you can find” method in making the gun.

Some of the items that have been re-purposed include parts from an antique clock, hangers, plumbing parts, a plant pot, various lids, plastic tub, a pocket laser disc, lightbulbs, “metal covering from an old hairbrush” and gallons and gallons of glue.

That dude actually looks like he just escaped from Aperture Science’s labs. Amazing dedication to cosplay. Head to deviantART so you can drool at the high resolution images of the gun. I have a feeling you’ll be hearing from Valve soon, batman-n-bananas. I hope they call you batman-n-bananas when they get in touch.

The Portal blanket was created by Flickr contributor DoctorMoo, and measures in at a whopping 9 feet by 6 feet, and weighs in at 7 pounds, so it’s definitely substantial. It took Moo about 74 hours of crocheting – and countless hours of planning to pull off this brilliant feat of geekery, and it looks like it was worth it.

While it doesn’t appear that the blanket is up for sale, you can certainly grab a cool crocheted Portal scarf over at DoctorMoo’s Etsy shop for just $35(USD).

This life-size replica of the official Aperture Science Handheld Portal gun comes from Japanese replica manufacturer Neca. The official price in Japan is ¥16,000 and you can pre-order it right now for shipment this April. If you convert the price to US dollars, your very own replica of the Portal gun would cost you just a bit more than $200 – plus shipping and any extra costs for importing it.

Being a replica, it won’t open a portal for you to hop through, but it will change colors between blue or orange depending on the portal you want to pretend to open.

I don’t know if they will ship one of these to the US, so you might want to start being extra nice to any friends you have that might live in Japan, or get in touch with White Rabbit Express to see if they can order one for you. I want one of these really bad, any of you Japanese folks want to volunteer to ship me one?

Made by Kawaiideco, each glue-on fingernail sports an icon from those Portal test chamber instruction posters, to serve as a constant reminder of the daunting tasks before you. There’s even an icon for the cake, though unlike the posters in the game, the fingernail is quick to point out that the cake is a lie.

Now, as a guy, the whole idea of gluing things onto your body for fashion seems weird to me, but if you’re the type to cover up their natural fingernails with something like this, you can grab this set over on Etsy now for $15 (USD). If GLaDOS weren’t a potato, I’m pretty sure she’d wear them.

The screenshot above is from the shakey-cam video below, which was uploaded by co-Redditor animatedintro, who tried out the module and (seemingly) lived to tell the tale.

Fire up a portal to Reddit or Megaupload to download the unofficial file. It’s been confirmed to work with Nuvi 40, 200, 200W, 250, 250W, 350, Garmin Mobile XT and StreetPilot c550 units. TomTom users can also endanger their lives with a similar mod.

For now, you can imagine what that might look like, courtesy of this Death Portal mashup t-shirt from designer Zerobriant. I can only imagine that between Wheatley’s massive ego and tiny brain, his eyeball is probably the weak spot of Death Star #3, and Chell could blow the whole thing up with a single blast from her trusty handheld portal device. And instead of being powered by hypermatter, this Death Star runs on potato energy.

About the only thing wrong with this great geek mashup is the price. I have a hard time paying $30 bucks for any t-shirt, even if it does combine two of my favorite pastimes. Fortunately, you can also grab it as a postcard or a print for a bit less. I’m betting that Cave Johnson is responsible for the pricing.

I wonder why it’s upside down though. And there’s no cake in sight. Once GLaDOS sees this she’ll be so pissed, she’ll find out who’s at fault and she’ll kill that person. Uhm, Happy Holidays everyone!

Or you could actually put two copies of the game inside the box. Now that would be a pleasant surprise. I wonder what a properly wrapped Skyrim game would look like. Oh I know: just cover it with a bucket.

Yep. That’s Potato GLaDOS. You know the one who’s a potato? The PotatOS Science Kit comes with everything you need to make your own wisecracking potato, complete with nails, wires, and a blinking GLaDOS core. It even lights up and sasses you with 17 audio clips from the game when you press the button.

The $29.99(USD) PotatOS kit also comes with a science-y backdrop written by the guys at Valve to proudly display behind your potato. Keep in mind that despite it’s looks, they couldn’t figure out a way to generate sufficient power from the potato, so PotatOS is powered by an internal watch battery of its own. So it won’t actually teach you or your kids anything about real science. Only fake video game science. Oh yeah, and you need to provide the potato too, so you could get fancy and use a sweet potato or some other root vegetable if you’re feeling especially creative.

Now back to that Christmas thing. We’re actually just slightly past the holiday ordering deadline at ThinkGeek for standard shipping, so chances are this won’t arrive until after Christmas unless you pay extra for rush shipping. Still, it’s pretty awesome, and any Portal geek would be happy to have one, even if it arrives a few days late. After all, GLaDOS will still be a potato.

They were designed by Ammnra Props, and they do a great job capturing the look of each of the personality cores. Even though the game’s cores are spheres, these still work nicely since they’re sort of like you just chopped the top and bottom off of the core so you can stick your finger into it. In addition to Wheatley, you can slip some of the lesser-known cores onto your fingers, including Space Core, Fact Core and Rick the Adventure Core. What, no Anger Cores?

The rings are produced using 3D printing technology over at Shapeways, and can be ordered up in a variety of materials. Keep in mind that while you can order them in stainless steel or silver, you won’t be able to get the colorful eyeball effect if you do that. Though I do think a shiny sterling silver Wheatley ring would look pretty awesome. If you buy one of the white or grey plastic versions, you’ll still need to paint in the details yourself. Here’s what the plastic rings look like once printed and painted:

The personality core rings can be ordered in ring sizes from 6 to 12, and prices range from $15 to $105 (USD) – depending on material – over at Ammnra’s Shapeways shop.

The blue and orange colors of portals also dominate the bedroom, and there are prints of the graffiti and signs from the game. I gotta say though, Vector is one brave kid. Watch the video to find out who’s watching over him every night:

He also has a Portal-potty:

I’d count myself the luckiest guy in the world if I had my room had its own bathroom, let alone a Portal-themed one. And seriously, Vector freakin’ Farr. That’s a name worthy of its own video game.

This time, the bookends are officially-licensed Portal merch, so you don’t have to worry about Cave Johnson coming over to your house and throwing some combustible lemons your way for violating his intellectual property rights.

You can grab a pair of Portal bookends over at ThinkGeek now for $25 (USD).

The set includes 8 cookie cutters – a running test subject, a falling test subject, a turret, a portal and four cutters for making a multi-layered companion cube. You’ll just have to make your own Cave Johnson mold.

You can order the Portal Cookie Cutters from ThinkGeek for just $20 (USD). I just want the Companion Cube tin.

You can’t see GLaDOS in the picture because she’s inside the computer, with ears provided by Kinect. Actually Corey just used her soundbites to give a voice to the program he’s working with, but he did name the program GLaDOS. The demo should explain everything, so without further ado:

I couldn’t help but laugh when GLaDOS muttered, “I hate you so much.” But beyond the laughs and the geek factor, Corey does have serious goals for his program. Once he finalizes the code, he plans on releasing it to the public in hopes that other people can build on it. He thinks that one day it would possible for voice-activated interfaces to be much more common, so that elderly and disabled people could use it to interact not just with computers but with other objects as well. I think Siri is ahead of GLaDOS in that department. You can check out the earlier videos of GLaDOS on Corey’s Vimeo page and keep an eye out for updates on his blog.

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, this geeky clock is great for any Portal lover’s home. The Companion Cube clock is wall mountable, and comes with a stand if you decide to opt out of the “nailing pixel clocks to your wall” mantra. Additionally, if you decide to opt out of the TSA scanning at an airport, you get a free package of loud “opt out!” screaming and a bonus awkward pat-down from a 55 year old man.

Amanda handmade each of these Companion Cube clocks with Perler beads, and might have even sprinkled a little love on top just for you. (But probably not, since the price of love has really skyrocketed these past few years. *Silent weeping* ) Keep in mind that by “each of these,” I mean one, since there’s only one clock left on her Etsy page. You can buy it for $23 (USD), or you can try to make your own and end up with a mess of melted plastic and a clock with a bunch of hot glue on it. *Discretely shoves a heap of failed attempts into the trash*

Portal has been a huge hit among geeks like me, and fans have created thousands of tributes to the series. If you thought the Companion Cube clock was appealing, you might want to head on over to the Portal Bookends or the Portal Earrings for more Portal fun. Alternately, you could lock yourself in your basement and play the games until your eyes fall out, but I don’t think your eyes would appreciate that set of actions very much. But, if your eyes ever did fall out after an extreme Portal 2 session, don’t worry! The eye massager would make them feel like a pair of newborn ocular balls of jelly.
