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 […]
Portal Christmas tree
Are you doing Christmas this year? How about doing Christmas with a twist? A portal twist? This rather awesome picture shows exactly that – a portal Christmas tree.
Are these Portal socks sexy?
Here’s a question to ponder tonight. Are these Portal 2 long fall socks sexy? Ignore the skirt. Focus on the socks. Ask yourself these questions. Are they quirky? Are they cute? Are they geeky? Perhaps; yes, yes and yes. The real debate is – are they sexy? Go, go, shopping!
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 […]
Fan movie? Portal: No Escape
Staring Danielle Rayne, directed by Dan Trachtenberg and with a talented team of professionals in support, is the “fan movie” Portal: No Escape. To be honest, it doens’t look like a fan movie. It looks %100 professional. It looks like a teaser. It looks like an award entry short. In fact, there are so many […]
Portal t-shirt: Protected by Turret
There’s a lot to be said for wearing Portal clothes. It’ll help other geeks step forward out of the crowd and say hello. Well, actually, they’ll probably point at your chest and say; “Hey! Cool”. That’s why a t-shirt that also protects your chest is a good idea. Combine the two and you’ve a Turret […]
Where are the Mantis Men in Portal 2
There was a time before Portal 2. In that time we only had Portal and teasers from Portal 2. Sometimes we had leak-style teasers; like when someone managed to film a bit of a pre-release Portal 2. That happened with Cave Johnson versus the Mantis Men. It sounded like there would be Mantis Men. So, […]
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 […]
The most dangerous geek game of hopscotch ever
You might recall hopscotch from school days. Perhaps it was not all that long ago you walked along the pavement and looked down to the see chalky designs of neighbourhood kids who had been playing. It’s a game about bounce and balance. I should have known GLaDOS would turn up. How does this game of […]
The truth of the Portal wedding cake
If you study this case closely you can see what’s going on. At the first glance it looks like the bride and groom have popped through a portal near the base of the cake to appear at the top. Is that really what happened? Why do neither of them have a portal gun? That piece […]
