If you've played Portal, the Weighted Companion Cube is a memory that will make you flinch, weep, giggle, or a combination of all three. Possibly while becoming aroused. THAT scene in the game, and you know which one I'm talking about (if you know what I'm talking about), ranks as one of the most memorable in my gaming career. And, in an odd, semi-hysterical way, one of the most moving.
So what did I do, just after I finished the game? I went and got a big piece of chocolate cake, of course. But what did I do AFTER my eighth piece of cake? I googled "weighted companion cube toy". I followed some links, and ended up with this:

Thanks, Oz, for the thoughtful and detailed feedback. I also would like a companion cube toy on the Valve store (hint hint Jason).

They've been in production for two months; they'll be here in time for holidays. Thanks for feedback, Oz.
My adorable droogies, another internet mystery explained: this is how fetish mashups start. Once those Cubes start to ship, I can guarantee photos of a plushie-feeder orgy at Dtoid HQ.

A papercraft Companion Cube to go along with the papercraft Mr Destructoid.
Seriously.
...but i miss it now. :(
In fact scratch that....
I want them to be able to talk but not to.
Also, cakes.
No, I can't go through it again.
I've spent too much time crying over my lost Weighted Companion Cube.
(The news and the drawing)
I'd like a weighted companion cube, and Team Fortress 2 action figures for Christmas please.
Oh, and an Alyx Vance pin-up.
I'm going to make one out of wood.
Oh yes, there will be cake.
Christmas now = cake, and a Weighted Companion Cube!
And I will enjoy it.
On a non-neurotic side note, this would be a good pack-in with some sort of "game of the year" version or something.
Seriously.
None of my friends have played portal, and won't
understand why I want this... But I don't care!
It's just me and my weighted companion cube... I love you cube...
