The cake really is a lie with these Portal T-Shirts from ThinkGeek. The pair of shirts work in tandem to create the illusion of teleportation, using LCD TFT displays and an embedded 5.8 GHz wireless pinhole camera.

The t-shirt only comes in pairs and are only available in blue and orange, but I don’t think that will stop you from having some amazing Portal fun for only $100. Yes, expensive for a pair of t-shirts, but with the display and camera added into the price, I’d say it’s a pretty good deal.

The stork is a lie.

According to sources and this video proof, some guy has accomplished what many deem impossible. The above video shows the game Portal running on the iPhone. Whether this is just a lite version or a full port of the game is unknown at this point, but either version would be pretty cool in my book.

Of course, there are plenty of people who are already calling this cake a lie as well. Until it’s proven either way, I’m just going to take it based on the evidence we have. And that evidence points to awesome.

I don’t know what to say.

What do you think I should say? Look at this fucking gun. It’s a life-size 1:1 replica of the Portal gun. Like dead on to every detail. It even glows blue. What the fuck is up with that? Some chick made it for cosplay. Yeah, cosplay. Such a waste…
At least it blows previously made gunnery out of the water. (more…)

Ever since playing Portal, I’ve always wanted my own Aperture Science portal gun. When the feds are chasing me, there is no getaway cleaner than teleportation. Instructables member Chiok feels the same way and hopes to get into the props and special effects industry by creating this replica of the famous portal gun found in Valve’s puzzle game, Portal.

Using some wood filler and a mess of plastic, foam, paint and chicken wire, Chiok created a near exact replica of the gun. If only it shot portals, then my wildest dreams would come true.

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.

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.

The cake is FAKE! If you’ve never played Portal, you might be a tad bit confused by this reference. Trust me though, it makes sense. What makes even more sense is finding a way to prank your geeky significant other with a Portal / Rick Roll cake.

Every year, the creator of this cake has lovingly designed a new geeky baked good for her boyfriend. This year, she decided to make a Rick Roll-themed cake, but decided to disguise it by placing a Portal cake replica over the Rick Roll-themed cake. You can imagine his surprise when he sits down for his tasty slice of Portal lore, only to discover that, uh oh, he’s been totally RickPwned by the women he loves. And on his birthday no less. Don’t feel too bad. He still got his cake and ate it too. — Andrew Dobrow
