Video: In-Game Portal 2 Proposal
Gary wanted to ask his lady to marry him, but instead of doing it over a fancy dinner or at the beach, he hired a pair of Portal level designers to make a custom game map to get the job dome. Now that's thinking with Portals! He even got Ellen McLain to reprise her role as the voice of GLaDOS.
The video above features cinematic highlights. Click here to watch a full play-through.

Merchandise: Companion Cube Soap
Available from Etsy for US$23.00
"The Enrichment Center reminds you that the Weighted Companion Cube will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak. In the event that the Weighted Companion Cube does speak, the Enrichment Center urges you to disregard its advice."
Imagine, if you will, a companion cube so sweet it cleans you in the shower. A silent companion cube, gentle and square.
Behold! The companion cube soap. This parody is more than 9 ounces in size and smells of Mountain Dew.

Mash-Up: M.C. Escher / Portal
M.C. Escher with a Portal Gun
"A four week project.
While I was brainstorming I came across a picture called ‘Relativety
Stairs’ by an artist called M.C. Escher. I thought it would be an
excellent assignment to improve on my texturing skills. But the picture
needed something else and since I was playing the game Portal at the
time, why not combine the two? This was a very good project where I
learned a lot about texturing and how exactly they are created.
Even after the deadline had passed I was still improving the picture, since there were just so many details on the picture I didn’t have the time to add in the four week period. And since it was my first ever project to work on over such a long time, I also learned a great deal about how you should organize your time correctly.
I am very pleased with the result and I can’t wait to work on another project of the same scale. Rendered with Vray."

"Science is fun! And at Aperture the science never runs out. Say, what’s that giant plant making it’s way through the facility you ask? Why, it’s Solanum tuberosum, commonly known as the potato. Looks like somebody must have left their science experiment in the basement for too long. Portal 2. A true masterpiece."

The singing turrets were one of my favourite parts of Portal 2. The other day while replaying the test chamber that they're in I noticed a can of beans had been left near the grating where the turrets are stored, so this is the inevitable outcome of that. Doug Rattmann: the singing turrets' biggest fan?

Posters: Portal 2 Propaganda
If you haven't had the PLEASURE of playing portal OR portal 2... YOU ARE MISSING OUT MY FRIENDS. Anyways, I was so enamored with the 50's portion of this second installment that I had to make some designs. Should I play through the game again? YES.

Crafts: Model Portal Turret
Yes that's a real laser. No fancy Photoshop work here.
So now that Portal 2 has come out, I'm sure many of you have noticed that there were some significant changes made to the design of the Turret. As a result of this my Turret with be designated Version 1.0 or Classic and be representative of the design from the original game.
