Portal 2 – ATLAS, P-Body, and the latest Aperture investment opportunity
My lovely wife pre-ordered Valve’s Portal 2
EDIT: Of course, these are so timely and cool that we blogged them twice. Well, at least you can watch the video in my post:

As a bonus, check out the multi-colored turrets by Ryan (L D M) inspired by this trailer.
Will Page’s Portal turret
While we’ve featured several Portal turrets in the past, this version by Will Page (Haystack Hair) is one of the most accurate Lego renditions and even features opening side panels for the guns. Now I really can’t wait for Portal 2 to come out.

The Weighted Companion Cube cannot speak...
…but I think we’re legally obligated at this point to blog all LEGO creations inspired by Valve’s Portal.
Victor Vitale‘s contribution to the genre includes the best Portal gun yet:
Previous Portal love on The Brothers Brick:
- Our previous statement suggesting that we would not monitor this chamber was an outright fabrication.
- The Weighted Companion Cube will accompany you throughout the test.

- Thinking with Portals
But c’mon people — where are your LEGO Left 4 Dead creations? Get buildin’!

Since I’m running an older Mac here at home (too old to dual-boot or run VPC), my knowledge of Portal is limited — and reinterpreted — by the many LEGO creations the game has inspired.
Nevertheless, I recognize a good Weighted Companion Cube when I see one. Le’pena uses mainly Technic and Bionicle pieces to achieve the necessary effect:
