Weighted Companion Cube mania continues: Valve offering cuddly cube soon photo

To say that the the Weighted Companion Cube may very well be the most marketable thing with six faces probably doesn't do justice to Aperture Science's most beloved square friend. It should come as a surprise to nobody that Valve is jumping aboard the cubic gravy train and will soon offer an official plush cube for fans of everyone's angular friend.

If you heart the Weighted Companion Cube, this is probably the obvious news you've been waiting for. Owners of an unofficial cube, will soon be able to buy one that's Valve Approved for properly sanctioned snorgling. It will hit the Valve Store in the near future.

Just make sure to take care of your Weighted Companion Cube and treat it with kindness. Also, we remind you that the Weighted Companion Cube won't talk back, and if it does, please ignore its advice. Thank you.

Wouldn't it have been great if the Aperture Science Enrichment Center Weighted Companion Cube was actually carrying the cake inside itself? I may have to design a cake tin in the shape of the Aperture Science Enrichment Center Weighted Companion Cube.

I will be buying the dice cubes. That way when I die in a firey car crash, the Cube will perish with me in the flames. Live together, die together.

Sounds good, but where are the friggin' Headcrab plushies already? Am I crazy or have they had them listed as "Coming Soon" on their website for like 3 years??

There are too many games I need to buy right now, but I'll probably end up putting some of them off even further to get one of these.

Sucks. Sucks. Sucks.

Cubes are supposed to be fucking cubes, not rounded boxes.

Also, there was a clog about this like, a week ago. Or 2 days.

I still want a Weightless Companion Cube, one suspended in mid-air that floats wherever I go.

Is it wrong that I want to give Valve all my money?

I don't understand how the companion cube became such a huge hit. It is such a minor thing but everyone is nuts over it! The sad part is that I am too and I can't help it! I love portal!

hey whoa! The random tag underneath my name changed to "would like a Mr. destructoid plushi". That isn't a funny thing to joke about, I DO want one! You bastards! Even wore a destructoid helmet to work in my college library (still have it, going to write my first blog once I get the other half of the pictures from my retarded friend)
