The 2007 game Portal, bundled with Valve’s other hits Half-Life 2 and Team Fortress 2 as The Orange Box, became an almost-instant hit despite its relatively short length. Obviously, the puzzle-oriented gameplay itself had something to do with it, but its real strength as a cult hit is its myriad of iconic objects and quotable lines. From the Weighted Companion Cube to the promise of cake (which may or may not be a lie) to the popular end credit theme, “Still Alive” by Jonathan Coulton, Portal is a geek crafter’s dream. Here are some of the most triumphant.

Hahahaha I like the Portal Bento. That’s pretty clever. Actually there are some alcoholic drinks on the net based on the blue and orange portal sides.
Hows about some TF2 love!!!!
