I'm making a note here: Merry Christmas photo

Aperture Science may be mostly known for its highly advanced guns and psychopathic artificial intelligence beings, but it's not above spreading a little Christmas joy to the good boys and girls. Heading over to the official Aperture Science Web page will bring you a charming festive message, complete with a yuletime instrumental rendition of Still Alive.

Go check it out and feel happy that even a cold-blooded killer computer like GLaDOS can show some love and good cheer this Christmas. The Santa is a lie, by the way.

Portal guns are a much easier way to gain access to homes than the chimney, Santa needs to upgrade.

Um...what the hell is going there?

It starts to get a little on the freaky side on the second pass.

I thought the "gifts" on the right side were a nice touch. The supply boxes from HL:2. As gifts.

This is awesome. Yet another reason why Me <3 Valve.

There are so many little things packed in the video. Did you see that the companion cube had a stocking? The fall out chimney with sack of loot instruction panel? These people are awesome!

Ahaha, so great. Christmas Companion Cube. This seriously needs to be made into a mini expansion pack for Portal or something, if only as a new main menu loading screen.

"The Santa is a lie."

CURSE YOU LIMEY BRITS AND YOUR SPOILERS!!!

I'm seriously not going to check out this game called Life due to you ruining key plot points for me, Sterling.
