Portal

It Came From Outer Space

Official: LEGO is Making a Mars Curiosity Rover Set

by Jill Pantozzi | 2:20 pm, June 18th, 2013

While we’re anxiously awaiting the final decision on a female minifig set from LEGO, we’re happy to report they’ve decided to make a Mars Curiosity rover for us to play with learn from. Originally designed by NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s mechanical engineer Stephen Pakbaz, the set was supported by folks on the Lego Cuusoo website and finally approved by LEGO. Unfortunately, Pakbaz’s success meant the failure of another LEGO set we were really hoping for – Portal. But they say they are still considering it so don’t drop them into the incinerator just yet.

C2E2 Cosplay & More!

by Jill Pantozzi | 3:30 pm, May 3rd, 2013

Two years ago I attended my first Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo (C2E2 for short). I wasn’t able to make it last year but made a triumphant return last weekend. I sat on the Comix Chix panel (to be posted and linked shortly), picked up some great art, and saw and participated in some fun cosplay. Take a look at our photo diary of the event.

Here’s GLaDOS, in That Video Game Where GLaDOS is a Poker Dealer for Fictional Celebrities

by Susana Polo | 2:28 pm, April 26th, 2013

If you were unaware of the franchise, Telltale games makes Poker Night at the Inventory, and now a series where the player is set against a cast of four fictional characters for some way more interesting computer poker than usual. The characters are usually from all sorts of media, games, movies, and comics, complete with appropriate voice acting where possible. The first games tarred Tycho, Max, the Heavy, and Strong Bad. Now? Brock Sampson, Claptrap, Ash, and Sam. With everybody’s favorite homicidal robot queen as dealer. And chief officer of sass.

Portal Cake Mix for the Lazy Geek

by Susana Polo | 12:06 pm, April 23rd, 2013

Well, maybe. With cake related Portal themed products, you always run the risk of somebody thinking it’d be funny to make it a lie (also this is clearly not officially licensed, or Valve would be selling it in their store). And it’s hard to tell from the user reviews here, because, frankly, between “the cake is a lie” jokes and Amazon customer reviews on joke products we may have found the greatest source of natural irony the world has ever known. So how about we just look at the product page, and then go home and make our own black forest cake.
