Plush Weighted Companion Cube!
Thursday, October 18th, 2007 - 11:18am
I'm pretty sure they put the cube in there as a spoof of how we can be manipulated into feeling emotion for the most insignificant and inane objects... But.... Weighted Companion Cube wasn't just a fancy crate! It had hearts on it...
I want one.

I want this NOW.

I so want one. I'm going to lob it over my cubicle wall at my co-worker who played Portal. I'll just explain I saw a portal open up and then the cube dropped on him for some reason.

I am so replacing the head of a Barbie with the cube.

It's ridiculous how much people like the companion cube, considering that it's in the game for all of about 10 minutes.
I say this, of course, with a companion cube widescreen wallpaper on my desktop, and every intention of getting one of these plushies too.

I just about sprained my wrist when I saw this subject line because I thought it was going to say that they were on sale now. Hells bells. The dark and stormy California winter nights are setting in and I have no companion cube plushy to keep my spirits up! I'm talking to you, slow ass Valve marketing team!
Or how about an Aperture Laboratories t-shirt? Seriously.

At last! A suitable throne for my Plush Cthulhu! The Monkeybenders and Ramjet are going to be SOOOOOOO jealous! I think the hedgehog and the Pez dispensers are going to just play it cool like they just don't care, though.

You risk him claiming the Companion Cube for himself. I know that's what I would do in his situation.
It would be a partner for the Companion Cube I would have already purchased. mmm a little Companion Cube on Companion Cube action.

I'm curious though ...
was the great love for the companion cube aroused in anyone before they entered a certain room? I keep hearing folks state elsewhere "I dont think they expected such a reaction!" ... but it seems as though that particular room was designed to elicit exactly that type of reaction.
Sadly, the room failed to lighten my heardened heart.

To be honest, I didn't care about companion cube until it was time to say good bye. Then suddenly I thought, hey, hang on a sec... This cube helped me! It saved my life! Why are you making me destroy it? ;_;

I was smitten from the first time I picked it up... those wonderful, perfect pink hearts. And to top that off the thought that maybe, maybe if I held it lovingly enough, it would speak... ah, the joy it's voice would bring into my life.... *swoons*

I didn't really feel anything for the cube. I don't really think of it as having saved my life, either.
I think they should have had the cube giggle and laugh like a baby when you picked it up. Then scream when you didn't need it anymore.
That would have elicited some reactions.

I need to play Portal more to realize what's so good about it, let alone a little heart-imprinted box. So far I've seen that Portals can move, and I'm some weird chick with leg braces.
Yet even then we ran like the wind,
whilst our laughter echoed under cerulean skies...
Or maybe they could've given it the turret voice.

Hi,
I found an Weighted Companion Cube Shop. This is the link : http://wCcube.net.ms
Nice T-Shirts, you can choose the color!
I all ready buyed a T-Shirt. Have Fun!
For the record, I think the Weighted Companion Cube was cool.
That said, however, maybe I'm the only person who just tossed it into the wastebin with barely a second thought? I saw GLaDOS was going nuts about it, but I just shrugged, said to myself, "it's a cube", and tossed it as quickly as it was physically possible to do so. When it told me I was the fastest cube-slayer on record, I thought, 'huh, I wonder... do people really care about that?' On later playthroughs, when I went back and listened to all the continued nagging about euthanizing the cube, I realized that the playtesters must have really gotten into the dumb thing.
It was a cube. I tossed it instantly. Am I a monster?
(Yes, I will buy one of these if they make them.
)
I like it because it's funny to pretend to personify it, as that's what the game tells you not to do. I think feeling attachment to the cube is insane, but feeling attachment to an extremely well written and designed portion of an overall fantastic game is totally acceptable.
I would buy a hard dead plastic companion cube. Not a squeezable soft cute one.

I was more fond of the turrets; speaking does make a difference.
