For months I've seen Portal fans obsessing over this... and wow... who cares?

Meh, I'd take her out to tea.

Portal fans have been appealing for that plush toy for months.

For $600 I expect that thing to stab people.

I expect that to transform into Jessica Alba (before pregnancy).

It's for Child's Play. People will pay stupid amounts of money if it's for charity.

Last year, I think they auctioned off a bunch of PS3's for near a thousand dollars. Of course, a PS3 can be had for a lot less than that.

I don't think they even realize it is for child's play. You had to see all the PC fans wetting themselves over the anticipation of this toy all over the net.

Here is but a small example:

Now that I've played and completed Portal I can safely say I have no idea what all the fascination is about.

P.S. The end song was awesome

[Pugnate]

The end song was amazing. I loved it, and I loved her personality.

The girl in the pic?
Or the actual cube?

Or both???
At once even?

[idolminds]

Both, you use the cube as a table.

Isn't the companion cube soft for a table?
Isn't it more like a bean bag?

[Xessive]

Perhaps, but I welcome a challenge.

I like Idol's way of thinking
