  • LeopardGirl420, on 11/12/2007, -20/+2The Plush Cube by KidIron is greatly superior, I want to start making one myself soon.
    http://jetlogs.org/2007/10/29/companion-cube-plush ...
    Valve's version are pure fail and chinese sweatshop.

    • Adamacus, on 11/12/2007, -1/+41Proper link:
      http://tinyurl.com/28gguh

      It actually is superior to the valve one.
      • Smwbigboss, on 11/12/2007, -1/+15It's next to a copy of FLCL, which makes it 3x as awesome already.
      • LeopardGirl420, on 11/12/2007, -4/+1Thanks, that link works much better, my link now got cut off.
      • xtmno3, on 11/12/2007, -1/+13I wish they would have gone with a hard metallic type companion cube instead of a plushie.
        • Ashkc88, on 11/12/2007, -1/+12But if it were a hard metallic type, I wouldn't be able to sleep with it. =(
          • LeopardGirl420, on 11/12/2007, -0/+0Maybe if made with a sheer metallic silver fabric?
        • xorkaya, on 11/12/2007, -0/+8Look, just because it's plush, doesn't mean you don't have to buy it dinner first.
      • omenmedia, on 11/12/2007, -0/+4I agree, the Valve one looks like it's eaten another Weighted Companion Cube.
      • JudgeMonkey, on 11/12/2007, -0/+3Yeah, damn, I saw that unofficial one, and thought for sure somehow valve would make one 100x better. I didn't know how, I just assumed.... and I am horrifically let down.
  • b33b3s, on 11/14/2007, -0/+159I'll be sure not to euthanize this one.
  • DarkSamus, on 11/12/2007, -14/+8valve's cube is a lie
    • chedabob, on 11/12/2007, -11/+2No, the cake is a lie. If you are gonna do a meme, do it properly.
    • mikeon, on 11/12/2007, -0/+3Maybe he means that the cube is not a cube at all. It's more like a ball. That damn companion ball. It kept running away from me! Ball is no friend! Cube forever!
  • ursername180, on 11/13/2007, -2/+107They'll probably delay the release...
    • theprokaryote, on 11/12/2007, -1/+25Somebody stole the plush source code!
    • omenmedia, on 11/12/2007, -1/+12But we're out of beta - we're releasing on time!
      • h4mx0r, on 11/12/2007, -1/+2Damnit, you beat me to it. I'm going to listen to that again.
    • ispeakasian, on 11/12/2007, -0/+8unless they release a rushed version. then they'll release some patches!
  • tektalk, on 11/12/2007, -0/+12I would want to make my own but: my sewing skills < Inferior sewing skills.
    I guess I can settle for this, though I wish Valve upped the quality of these companion cubes. : /
  • MetaMars, on 11/12/2007, -9/+65This was a triumph, I'm making a note here:
    HUGE SUCCESS
    It's hard to overstate my satisfaction
    Aperture Science
  • SlamShut, on 11/12/2007, -9/+60We do what we must because we can.
    For the good of all of us (except the ones who are dead).
    But there's no sense crying over every mistake.
    You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
    And the Science gets done and you make a neat gun
    For the people who are still alive.
    • ferrariman60, on 11/12/2007, -5/+40I'm not even angry.
      I'm being so sincere right now.
      Even though you broke my heart,
      And killed me.
      And tore me to pieces.
      And threw every piece into a fire.
      As they burned it hurt because
      I was so happy for you!
      • TheTaoOfBill, on 11/12/2007, -6/+41I ***** hate you all.

        I just got that song out of my head!
      • championchap, on 11/12/2007, -3/+29Now these points of data make a beautiful line
        and we're out of beta we're releasing on time
        so I'm glad I got burned
        think of all the things we learned
        for the people who are still alive
        • plosfas, on 11/12/2007, -16/+5and believe me I am still alive.
        • SlamShut, on 11/12/2007, -3/+23Go ahead and leave me.
          I think I prefer to stay inside.
          Maybe you'll find someone else to help you.
          Maybe Black Mesa
          THAT WAS A JOKE.
          HAHA. FAT CHANCE.
          Anyway, this cake is great.
          It's so delicious and moist.
          Look at me still talking
          when there's Science to do.
          When I look out there, it makes me GLaD I'm not you.
          I've experiments to run.
          There is research to be done.
          On the people who are still alive.
        • cyb3rdemon, on 11/12/2007, -2/+14And believe me I am still alive.
          • halosniper7, on 11/12/2007, -2/+11I'm doing science and I'm still alive
            I feel FANTASTIC and I'm still alive
            While you are dying I'll be still alive
            and when you're dead I'll be still alive
            STILL ALIVE, still alive
        • mrmacky, on 11/12/2007, -4/+2It's "So I'm GLaD I got burned", she capitalizes all the glads in that song as it's spelled on her machinery
  • meshman, on 11/12/2007, -16/+2Holy spam.
  • NikoKun, on 11/12/2007, -5/+6yay!
    *buys and cherishes obsessively*

    hmmm... that can't be healthy... XD
  • bradbeattie, on 11/12/2007, -6/+7Want! Thank you, rising Canadian dollar!
  • neiltc13, on 11/12/2007, -7/+19It is illegal to hang the fuzzy dice item from your rear view mirror in the UK, so please don't do it.
    • MalDON, on 11/11/2007, -3/+4It's not really safe either.
      • dsimonpower, on 11/12/2007, -0/+7I have them and the police haven't said anything in the three times I've been pulled over (in the UK). They don't obstruct my view. Why the love for strictly following rules?
    • PixelEater, on 11/12/2007, -3/+1Fuzzy Dice are a sign of ***** YEAH, AMERICA
      • DonSlice, on 11/12/2007, -1/+4I think you mean, AMERICA, ***** YEAH! Freedom is the only way, YEAH! AMERIKUHHHHH.
      • taquitohater, on 11/12/2007, -1/+1Actually, stuff hanging from your rear-view mirror is illegal in a lot of places in the US too, I know Ohio for sure since that's where I live. That's what they told me at driving school anyway. Whether or not the cops do anything about it or not, however, is a different matter entirely.
      • mrfunktastic, on 11/12/2007, -1/+2Also a sign of "yeah I'm blue collar and I'm weirdly obsessed with my pride in never ever aspiring to be anything more than that?"
    • AmICoolNow, on 11/12/2007, -1/+3As far as I know, they're illegal in America, too. Or at least in California.
      • Zarokima, on 11/12/2007, -0/+2Just specific areas of the US, apparently, because I've been driving around with big, fuzzy, pink 20-siders for months with on problems.
      • wheeldawg, on 11/25/2007, -0/+1They are, in a lot of places at least, but no one cares. I've had a huge M&M thing on my mirror since I got the car and the cop who pulled me over for speeding didn't say a word. It's one of those laws that's in existence, but is never ever ever enforced. Ever.
  • Scopitone, on 11/12/2007, -2/+70I love how much attention that little thing is getting. No way was it anticipated to receive such a die hard following.
    • MalDON, on 11/12/2007, -8/+4I'm sure Valve knew it would be popular.
    • Negyxo, on 11/12/2007, -0/+8i would guess that valve themselves found the cube funny and cute themselves
    • Trollhammaren, on 11/12/2007, -1/+4I see what you did there, that's quite a good pun.
    • cmscott, on 11/12/2007, -1/+6Hasn't anyone played through the developer's commentary version of the game? They didn't expect it to become some big thing, MalDON, they just slapped hearts on it and called it a companion cube so people would take it with them through the whole level.
  • Skanadian, on 11/12/2007, -0/+18I need new pants, theres some bricks in them.
  • cnldelta, on 11/12/2007, -5/+2Would that get me laid by a girl or a guy? (I'm a guy)
    • PhonicUK, on 11/12/2007, -0/+17Neither. Ever.
    • TheTaoOfBill, on 11/14/2007, -1/+61If you ever meet a hot girl who recognizes your weighted companion cube as an object from the game portal my suggestion to you is to marry her on the spot.
    • banmaster, on 11/12/2007, -2/+3"Would that get me laid by a girl or a guy?"

      Does it matter, the mere fact you post on digg means that you'll be damn lucky to get some action with anyone, so don't be picky!
      • GliTCH82, on 11/12/2007, -1/+2Well, I got some action from your Weighted Companion Mom last night.
      • cnldelta, on 11/14/2007, -0/+1I get action when I'm away from digg....
  • PhonicUK, on 11/12/2007, -0/+31I'm still holding out for an official Portal cake :D
    • Cyber_Akuma, on 11/12/2007, -0/+8Preferably one that does not contain fish-shaped dirt or fish-shaped solid waste...
  • chris9902, on 11/12/2007, -0/+49not really impressed. Some of the fan made plushies have been better than this.
  • JenadaeXX, on 11/12/2007, -0/+31It needs to life size :(
    • erpscooter, on 11/12/2007, -1/+13And not plush. We demand accuracy!
  • midbc, on 11/12/2007, -2/+3looks kinda like something Bowser would have in the castle for pimp furniture
    • championchap, on 11/11/2007, -0/+2Gay Bowsers scatter cushions != pimp furniture
  • MalDON, on 11/12/2007, -11/+6I don't want a fat companion cube. Just shows it was American designed.
  • sigafoo, on 11/12/2007, -1/+68That's not a cube so much as a... blob with things at the 'corners'
  • Nerfdude, on 11/12/2007, -9/+4i'm really happy i never got into half life or any of its offspring. i'd be buying plush nonsense all the time.
    • GliTCH82, on 11/12/2007, -1/+2As far as I know, this is the only plush Half-Life toy ever made, if not the only Half-Life toy ever made.
      • tuddy666, on 11/12/2007, -0/+1not the first HL toy (there were action figures available at one point), but yes, the first HL plush.
  • bonds, on 11/12/2007, -7/+2Sweet, more crap to throw away next time you clean your place.
  • Flamekebab, on 11/12/2007, -0/+37Come on, Valve, you can do better!
  • CDHarrisUSF, on 11/14/2007, -2/+73I was hoping my weighted companion cube would have a bit more weight to it... and look more like a cube.
  • 0260, on 11/14/2007, -0/+38i want one made out of high quality ceramic or steel
  • Coffeedemon, on 11/12/2007, -1/+17I'd rather have the stuffed headcrab.
  • Nekiruhs, on 11/12/2007, -1/+5DO WANT!
  • Guagloves, on 11/14/2007, -1/+14its a bit round for a cube but I may end up getting one
  • lohphat, on 11/14/2007, -3/+7Does it come with Made in China toxic goodness?
    • Trollhammaren, on 11/14/2007, -0/+13The Enrichment Center reminds you that the Aperture Science Weighted Companion Cube in fact cannot speak, but does contain formaldehyde which may induce hallucination.
  • calon9, on 11/12/2007, -0/+8A companion cube should be more... cube-y. Cube is right there in its name, afterall. A "rounded-edge companion cube" is an oxymoron and sadly does not inspire much companionship.
  • cl2yp71c, on 11/12/2007, -2/+4If there's ever a genocide of Portal fans, they'll know who to go after.
    Hitler had the Star of David, Valve has fuzzy-companion-cube-balls.
    • GamerVer05, on 11/12/2007, -1/+8Well executed joke, but I give it a 6.5/10 for poor taste.
  • skyfire1, on 11/14/2007, -0/+23They need to come out with a Portal cake mix.
  • reddog0051, on 11/11/2007, -1/+1I want that so bad.
  • bencefeher, on 11/13/2007, -0/+30The enrichment center reminds you that the Weighted Companion Cube will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak.
  • Shippwreck87, on 11/14/2007, -0/+9A plastic paperweight or one of those stress relieving things would have been better :/
  • WNxKelevra, on 11/14/2007, -0/+4Id be all for this if the companion cube came in the form of a stress cube instead of a stuffed blob.
  • CaptainM4d, on 11/11/2007, -0/+1Hope this comes out before Christmas...
  • TRMitchell, on 11/12/2007, -3/+0I like how easy it was for valve to start saying that everyone loved the weighted companion cube so....everyone decided they loved the weighted companion cube. Wonder how much they'll save on real advertising that way...
    • econojon, on 11/12/2007, -0/+1I have to admit, while playing it, I had a strange but real connection to the cube, long before Valve announced it.
  • nullnvnvnv, on 11/12/2007, -10/+0I have no idea what an official plush weighted companion cube is. Also, I have no desire to find out. Screw this, I'm going back to slashdot.
  • bpollay, on 11/12/2007, -1/+2the cake is a lie!
  • Christbait, on 11/12/2007, -1/+2I want a full sized one made out of durable metals dammit! This one looks like some sort of Pokemon!
  • Christbait, on 11/12/2007, -3/+2Edit: Double posted.
  • Trollmaster, on 11/14/2007, -7/+3exactly why the ***** is this ***** popular??
    • Typhoon2009, on 11/12/2007, -0/+4I don't know, but I do know that companion cube kicks ass. If Companion Cube, Jack Bauer, and Dave Mustaine joined forces then all the world's problems would end.
  • thomasprebble, on 11/14/2007, -0/+3I had to put down my weighted companion cube :( . I felt sad.
  • GooksBirman, on 11/14/2007, -0/+9WARNING: Keep away from open flame.
  • jmahorney, on 11/12/2007, -0/+2I'd love one too, but I have to admit I rather have one that actually looks more like a companion cube.
  • Naryuu, on 11/12/2007, -0/+8its not big enough. i want it pillow sized, because thats what im gonna use it for.... *cuddles*
  • duplicityy, on 11/12/2007, -7/+1This whole obsession about something valve put in the game so you would remember to bring the weighted cube around the level is so stupid and retarded. It's like all the dumbest people in the world came together on the internet.
  • NiGHTSChao, on 11/12/2007, -0/+2I want it, but I hope they improve the look of it :(
  • GreySkiesBlue, on 11/12/2007, -0/+4I can't be the only one who wants a scale metal version. Something about 2 inches wide, that could sit on my desk and remind me in the dark times of the the weekly grind that there are better things to live for?
