Valve store adds new Portal shirts, Portal thongs coming soon photo

I'm joking about the thongs, but as soon as I thought of it I envisioned a little white thong with the cake on it....or a pair of boyshorts that have the cake on the crotch and then "The cake is a lie" written on the butt. I realized that I would buy those, and also, that the Portal merchandise virus has spread to me too. It was inevitable, I suppose. I know Nick Chester told you we wouldn't post any more Portal merch, but sometimes, Nick Chester lies. [Editor's note: Colette has received written warning. This post is the last Portal merchandise/craft article you'll see. Thanks for your patience and understanding. - Nick]

The new Portal apparel not only features fan favorites Weighted Companion Cube (or WCC as it is fondly called) and GlaDOS, but also has a great look to it that reeks of - dare I say it - Threadless' iconic t-shirt styles. I appreciate that, since it seems like "better" gaming shirts can cost way too much these days, and these are still fairly priced. I'm off to buy a hoodie!

Yes we all love Portal but how about some TF2 apparel?

I really dig their GlaDoS tee. Heck I've even considering one of those posters too, although the autographed ones are hella expensive.

Do Want!

Resisting is hard but anything past 20 bucks for a t-shirt is a bit pricey for my tastes.

I love that shirt, I want it so bad....

That was my favorite wall quote from the game, so I'm quite pleased they made it into a shirt. :D

I just wish they would ship to outside of America, some parts of the store mention over seas delivery but the ordering and shipping section says they don't send anything to P.O addresses.
Though I'd likely be happier with Dtoid stuff.

I'd get one, but to anyone who doesn't know what Portal is (a lot of people outside of gaming culture), it just looks like you're walking around with psychotic ramblings of a crazy person etched in blood onto the back of your t-shirt.

...though the thong would fit Portal's "two holes" theme. Was this implied in the title or just a fruit of my dirty mind?

Um, Nick, what if your readers actually WANT Portal merchandise posts? Because, well, I kind of do, at least. Valve gives me erections.

Have you guys seen the portal case mod where this guy made a full computer inside an actual working companion cube? It will have to be on the front page.

I would like to believe that Colette intended the reference (in my head she's wearing the thong), in fact, I demand it. All headlines should reference sex in some way so I will read it...because I'm male, immature and I reduce everything to sex. Or fart jokes.

Bought the WCC shirt yesterday. I didn't like the "Hipster style with prints only on the left shoulder or lower waist" look of the GlaDOS shirts. WCC FTW!

I hope these are still up by the time I get paid again. I so need the companion cube shirt and the cake is a lie shirt. <3

I support the continual posting of Portal Merchandise. It's one of the few things I see on the RSS Feed and feel the need to read.

DO WANT!

They need to make one that just says "The cake is a lie"

It definitely has that Threadless vibe that I love. I hate gaming shirts that are just a stock logo or character render put on fabric.

I was hoping they would come out with better Portal shirts.


Defiantly getting (at least) one.

Why did I not notice this post before?

Thongs would be epic. Especially Portal thongs...
... and I'm just now getting the connotations of that. Ew.
