A Sneak Peek At 3A Toys Incredible Portal 2 Atlas And P-Body Toys

We just recently got some sneak peak images of 3A Toys' upcoming Portal 2 collab with Valve, featuring some absolutely incredible renditions of the sequels cooperative robotic protagonists, Atlas and P-Body. The figures are incredibly detailed, featuring fine details like nicks, scuffs and paint scratches, full articulation and light up optical sensors and portal guns.

 The 1/6th scale figures will be up for preorder sometime this May for an as of yet undetermined price, and based off the press release it also seems like these figures might come in a two pack for those with deep pockets. Based off of 3A Toys' historical prices, a fair estimate is that the figures will run aynwhere from $250-400 each, especially considering licensing costs. We can only hope that 3A and Valve will collaborate sometime in the future to also bring us a high end Team Fortress 2 line, because we're not broke enough just yet. Check out a ton more images of the absolutely stunning figures after the break, and start saving up for the preorder announcement!

What ARE You Planning Valve?

Valve, I have things I should be doing right now. I'm working on artwork, waiting for emails and doing large amounts of tidying. You HAD to choose this time to release with another great gaming deal, and another possible ARG. That's right folks, the Potato Sack Returns!!

This time around, it's known as the Potato Sack Reunion. For $20, you get 1... 2... 3... KICK IT! (Drop That Beat Like an Ugly Baby), AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! for the Awesome, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, AudioSurf, Bit.Trip Beat, Cogs, Defense Grid: The Awakening, Killing Floor, Rush, Super Meat Boy, The Ball, The Wonderful End of the World and Toki Tori. The package of games would cost over $77 if purchased individually. A good deal, no? There might be more to this, though if you don't know the history of the potato sack, then you don't know what rumours are flying around the internet...so find out more after the break!

Portal 2: Talk To Cave Johnson For Only $40

When life gives you lemons? Go out and spend $40 for the rest. Printed on canvas of pine frame comes the next piece of Portal merchandise you need to own.

That's right, Think Geek has done it again. They just released a portrait of Aperture Science's founder & luminary, Cave Johnson from the game Portal 2. Motion sensors embedded into the frame make him speak 13 phrases from the game including the entire "life gives you lemons" rant. And for the people who want to appreciate art, the thing can be turned off. Sometimes advice can be very....human.

The release date hasn't been announced, but the site says mid December. I guess we will see soon enough.

Apple's Siri Is Just That Much More Science

Apple recently announced the Siri feature for the new iPhone 4s, which is basically a pretty cool digital voice application. Whilst I imagine it turning out more like this my expansive television and movie watching has taught me one thing; robots are mean, mean creations. So throw in the most mean and evil robot of all time, GLaDOS from Portal 1/2, and you have a parody video that made me chuckle but feel bad for gaining a beer gut. Self esteem? Gone. But my iPhone? Never looked better!

Portal 2: Wheatley Puppet

Portal 2 is still in the top 10 lists of most gamers this year, and with good reason. The game is fun, original, and is the perfect sequel because it improved on what made the original great without changing the formula. But you know what I love about the game? The community (and I don't mean the "CAKE IS LIE" screaming crowd).

Take this creation as a perfect example. She is known only as trpchakai on youtube and has created a Wheatley puppet (the android voiced by Steve Merchant in Portal 2) and it shows the creativity and love that fans have for franchises. Valve, please hire her so I can own one and annoy my friends. It's all I ask for in life. You can see the creation here and see more pictures here.
