Awesome Portal

We’re assuming that the guy working on this Super Mario Bros. meets Portal game watched this video before starting development of a playable version. Bonus: Instant messenger trolling starts at 0:25.

A very polished fan film that delivers an aural and visual feast from start to finish. Directed by Dan Trachtenberg and scored by Mike Zarin, who also composed the music for the first Inception trailer.

Game designer TopHATTwaffle was commissioned by one Gary Hudston to create a very special set of Portal 2 levels which, upon completion, delivered a proposal to his soon-to-be fiance.

A puppet of Portal 2’s Wheatley by TRP-Chan. Has a glowing eyelight, moveable eyeplate and eyelids. Also speaks some of his lines from the game. See the build process here. (Thanks, Danni!)

(NSFW: Language) Ah, the Portal gun. We’ve spent many hours daydreaming about having one in real life. We’d never think of what this high-pitched rapper wants to pull off at the end though.

Using only sounds and video from trailers and commercials for Portal 2, Jeremy Garren created this track that would be just as appropriate on a dance floor as in a test chamber.

(Spoilers: But you’ve finished by now, right?) Portal 2 fan Pedro Calvo created his own music video for the game’s hilarious closing song. GLaDOS really needs to try out for American Idol next year.

Which was your favorite gel in Portal 2? The orange goo was speedy, the blue bouncy and the white made any surface portal-friendly. This putty does none of that, but its still cool and sciency.

A few years ago, YouTuber evi1wombat hacked a busted treadmill computer, making it play the ending theme to Portal. Now that Portal 2 is out, this was inevitable: Want You Gone on the Cybex.

Do you love spatial mazes and puzzles? Did you name your man cave “Johnson”? Then you’ll love this 4-pack of Portal 2 posters, each filled with humor, in-game references and of course science.

(Spoiler Alert) What if the original Portal ended differently? A tired, paranoid and lazy Chell tries to start anew after managing to escape from Aperture’s Labs, in this fan film by Eisen Feuer.

Cosplayers Ninja of the Night take on Portal with this amusing low-budget stage show which won the “Most Dramatic” award at FanimeCon. Guess they couldn’t afford to build a cardboard GLaDOS.

It takes a lot of balls to laud your own tricks and deem them “insane”, but in this case, Schrobotindisguise is totally spot on. He is a predator, and the puzzles are his prey. Part I here.

(Possible Spoilers) Flickr user wd.farmer loved the 50s style art and icons in Portal 2 so much and decided to make posters out of them, along with quotes from Aperture Science CEO Cave Johnson.

Trade your pickaxe for the Portal gun and go sciencing in Minecraft. Andrei235’s mod features testing chambers filled with companion cubes, energy pellets and more. Download here.

We haven’t managed to get all the way to the end of Portal 2 yet. It’s not for lack of trying, though. Maybe if we had Schrobotindisguise’s mad cube-throwing skills, we’d already be finished.

One of the simplest yet most mind-blowing video game inventions of all time, the Portal gun would immediately make almost all other games ridiculously fun and easy, and SMB is no exception.

YouTube user prefim’s cleverly titled animation Man Made is a Portal 2 intro sequence in the style of the hit show Mad Men, featuring ATLAS the robot. Not an original idea, but still worth watching.

Valve ties in their latest game Portal 2 with the legendary wearable meme. Too bad Valve’s online shop doesn’t have a review section. We’re hoping for a video endorsement from Cave Johnson.

Steven Merchant is brilliant as Wheatley, the loose Personality Core in Portal 2. Famousafterdeath has created this t-shirt as part of a nutritious breakfast. Do Companion Cubes stay crunchy, even in milk?

(SPOILER ALERT) The ending credit sequence to Portal 2, featuring the music and lyrics of Want You Gone by Jonathan Coulton, the same guy who wrote Still Alive, the ending song in the first game.

With both Portal 2 and Mortal Kombat (9) in stores this week, we’re just as confused about which of these two awesome games to put into our consoles too. TheGameStation has the optimal solution.

Aperture Science Founder and CEO Cave Johnson explains the origins and capabilities of the Long Fall boots in the latest trailer for Portal 2. First Butler, and now Johnson? Keep those fake execs coming.
