This is ridiculously good. I really want one. There are definitely some of you here on the Escapist who never got me a Christmas present. This will do fine. | |
That is awesome cubed. Serious kudos to her boyfriend for that. | |
i would pay money for that | |
You certainly didn't get me on either Brokkr DX Regardless of that, This would be a dream to have. | |
O.O So... how much does it cost for him to make me one? | |
holyshitholyshitholyshit that sums it up | |
If you really do want one, the guy who made it takes commissions. He lists his email on his Cosplay.com profile: http://www.cosplay.com/photo/1872151/ So I guess email him if you're like, hella rich. | |
I can't even imagine how much he charges for one of these. | |
I'm afraid to ask, but how "hella rich" are we talking here? | |
I guess I'm the first to say that: This was a triumph... | |
That's awesome,and definitely a triumph. | |
I'm guessing he got more that a "thank you" for that one. | |
Beautiful, but I'd like to see him try the gravity gun. Or baking the cake, for that matter. | |
I'm not into cosplay, but that is awesome. I am seriously behind, I need to play Portal proper (I've done the 2D version on Flash, but not the actual one cause I can't afford it yet...). That though, is a work of art. Well done. | |
Let's hope so! | |
Now let's see if he can make a companion cube. If you suggest he make a crowbar I will lose hope for humanity. | |
You'd have to ask him yourself, but I'm guessing HELLA rich. | |
oh i thought this thread was about scientists making a prototype portal gun at first... | |
I'd be more interested in how he did it if that's really metal. Is it scavenged? Or did he craft it himself? In which case I wonder how much machinery he keeps at his house. | |
Simply amazing, that's what it is. | |
That man had better get laid for his efforts. | |
Holy... That's inconceivably awesome. | |
That's crazy, can't believe how much effort goes into some cosplay. They should actually make those, they'd sell heaps of them.
More like dinner, sex and he gets to miss something with her family. | |
You kidding me? If someone makes you something like that, they get week-long rights to whatever weird stuff they think up without asking. I bet if they break up, he takes it with him. | |
*jaw drops* | |
One of those belongs right beside my Darth Vader Lightsaber. Its made of win. | |
IT BUUUURNS!!!!! | |
Hot dang...Gotta get me one of them. But on reflection all I'd probably do with it is put it on my shelf for all eternity and show it off to all my nerd friends. | |
My mind... it has been blown by the sheer kick assness of such a prop. Nice job on that one. | |
It's official: I must steal this device for my own nefarious uses... | |
*gathers brain that was splattered all over wall by that picture* | |
\ Excellent work, 'I'm making a note' on your success. | |
I bet if that happens she'll take him to court for it. Wouldn't we all? | |
Have you guys seen the Aperture Science computer that some guy made. Here's the link if you haven't seen it | |

Note: Replica Portal Gun A Huge Success
A Portal fan asked her boyfriend to make a Portal gun for her Aperture Science test subject costume. What she got back is one of the most absurdly well-crafted cosplay accessories ever made.
Cosplay, at least as far as I see it, comes in but two varities: the horrifically bad and the absolutely stunning. This Portal Gun (or Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device if you want to be a nerd about it) most certainly belongs to the latter category.
Crafted by Cosplay.com user Volpin at the request his girlfriend, Flickr user emilyskeith, for a Portal-themed cosplay, the gun not only looks exactly like the in-game model, but has all sorts of added touches that give it that extra bit of believability, like multiple blue and orange LED lights that turn on and off when the gun is in different modes, an Aperture Science barcode and even artificial bumps and scratches to give it that "been around the lab more than once" look. The gun is powered by a nine-volt battery, according to Volpin.
To say that blood, sweat and tears went into this might be more true than you'd think. "I wanted him to put some blood on it, 'cause let's face it, I'm not careful enough to avoid those feisty turrets," emilyskeith wrote. "Also, I'm putting a 'wound' tear into the sleeve of my right arm to look as if I'd been grazed by a bullet, and I thought the splatter would be a nice touch." Because it's all about the details.
"He did an AMAZING job, though," emilyskeith said. "It's really uncanny how close it is to the game images. And I'm not biased or anything."
