I’m taking this rumor with the smallest possible grain of salt. After all, what business would Google have buying gaming company Valve? Sure, the Steam distribution platform is hot and Google would love to have said technology in it’s paws but what good is that going to do for the rest of Valve’s assets? I’m sure Portal and Half-Life aren’t going to go to good use under Google’s rule. Would we even see a new Half-Life title if Google purchased Valve? Who knows. Let’s sit back and pray the rumors aren’t true.

It might not be the coolest LEGO set to date, but it certainly is an impressive display of building blocks directly inspired by Team Fortress 2. It’s the engineer’s sentry gun from the game, used to tear through hordes of enemy scouts rushing to grab your team’s briefcase (or flag).

It was created by Steve Barker who says he’s more proud of this creation than any of his others so far.It looks nice, but can it withstand the firepower that a LEGO Johnny Five’s laser beam can distribute? Doubtful, considering how easily sentry guns are taken out in game.

Raise your hand if you you like to get drunk and play video games. Alright, now that your boss is wondering why you just stuck your hand in the air, you might as well give in to your inner-gamer and quit. I mean, after purchasing this Portal-themed beer stein for $15, you’re going to be spending all your time drinking booze and playing The Orange Box on a water-cooled PS3.

There’s really not much to it. See how the portal opens up and the beer makes its way from the tap to the stein? Just move the stein and open wide. If you get really wasted, you can use that Tequilla Squirter to pretend you’re Gordon Freeman.
