Weighted Companion Cube mid-Portal in Toronto

A leftover from last week, but too great not to share. Posterchild is a "street artist" creating public installations in the city of Toronto. His latest and greatest: two Weighted Companion Cubes (as seen in little-known video game Portal) entering and exiting a portal. Or is that exiting and entering? And, yeah ... it's really just one WCC then, right? Note: you can figure out where the "companion" Companion Cube is through visual hints in the portals. Video embedded after the break.

[Thanks, everyone!]

Portal's plush companion cube puts a price on friendship

In case you missed it, Valve's online store now stocks a test subject's best and happily unsuspecting friend, the Weighted Companion Cube. Made of soft and sufficiently flammable polyester fiber, the demonically dimensioned (6" x 6" x 6") pal can be introduced to yourself or a "real" friend for $29.95. Unlike those irksome human mates you may or probably don't have, the companion cube will never complain when you hog all the cake or inevitably murder him.

[Thanks, PeteyH]

DIY: Weighted Companion Cube paperweight

We know you're probably getting sick of all the arts and crafts based off this one geometric protagonist. We've seen it all, costumes, plushies, even cake -- but we think Alice Fox has the right frame of mind when it comes to cuboid craftwork -- "our friendly cube is weighted, not a stuffed and cuddly plush toy or a flimsy papercraft."

With that in mind, we present Fox's step by step instructions on how to create a companion cube paperweight. We won't lie, it looks like more work than it's worth, but we'd love to see one sitting on our desk, unassumingly holding down our important documents. It would definitely be a sweet, cost-efficient holiday gift for a gaming relative, or for your favorite Joystiq blogger.
