Description Here is a tutorial of how I made my custom weighted companion cubes. Feel free to make your own but please take pictures and show me your results!

Weighted companion cube and aperture science were created by Valve for their game Portal. ^_^

I finished awhile ago, but it didn't come out well, I have all the stuff I'm going to remake it, maybe tomorrow since I'll be doing nothing, all day.

That looks great! I'd make one but I would never be able to cut out all of the shapes right. I have that problem, that's why I choose photography.

Great job ^^

I have never even played Portal (not so good at first-person games on the whole...) but I love the concepts and such.

Totally want to make a weighted companion cube of my own now! Hee hee...

Yeah, it weights about .5 lbs. ^_^

Oh, cool!
Haha, thank you, and thank you for posting this up!
I think I'll make one myself, but might make it a bit heavy, like 5 pounds or so, hopefully..
Anyways, congratz! The tutorial is really great!

THIS WAS A TRIUMPH.

No, seriously; I'm making a note here - HUGE SUCCESS.

I love your GLaDOS instructions! "Please be careful as knives have been known to cause excessive bleeding when applied to humans." !!!!

And since it's so hard to overstate my satisfaction, I'm faving this to try later. !

Yay!

Regarding your sig, technically by your logic, Cake wins vs. Pie because you can make CHEESE cake but not CHEESE pie.

This was a triumph.
I’m making a note here:
HUGE SUCCESS.
It’s hard to overstate
My satisfaction.
Aperture Science
We 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.

Forms FORM-55551-5:
Personal File Addendum


Dear <>,


I’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!
Now 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.

Forms FORM-55551-6:
Personal File Addendum Addendum:

One last thing:

Go 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_









PS: And believe me I am
still alive.
PPS: I’m doing Science and I’m
still alive.
PPPS: I feel FANTASTIC and I’m
still alive.

FINAL THOUGHT:
And when you're dying I'll be
still alive.

FINAL THOUGHT PS:
And when you’re dead I will be
still alive.


STILL ALIVE

You mean life sized? Wow. I've considered that but I wouldn't know what to do with it. Besides kick it around.

Ooh! Make a life sized one out of foam so it won't break if you do kick it around!
