The Dedicated Gamer: Portal
April 13, 2009 53 Comments
Some people enjoy gaming as a favorite pastime while others simply cannot resist taking their obsession to the next level. The Dedicated Gamer is about the passionate, talented, and sometimes flat out psycho people who love their video games and find interesting and impressive ways to express that eternal adoration. Whether it’s through confectionery delights, cosplay, or specialized crafts, all of these gamers have one thing in common: they’re nothing if not dedicated.

<3 the case mods. Particularly the Aperture Science one. Hell, all of these are pretty cool.
<3 the cake mods
Wow, the cake is a lie! i’d remember that (just started up the game again a week or two ago!)
too bad my pc aint holding it, at the first boss (the large one hanging on the ceiling with these eyes you need to destroy) my pc tilted and rebooted over and over :(
Awesome game, and nice pics! :)
actually, not only is that the first boss, its the last boss too. In fact: its the only boss… there are probably lots of youtube videos if you wanted to just cheat to watch the ending.
I hope that he didn’t read that. Srsly. Wtf are you doing ruining a dramatic ending? _O
I wouldn’t call that ruining it. He didn’t say what happens. Also, if you’ve played through that much game and think that’s the “first” boss, maybe a point in the right direction is a good thing
Regarding some of the first posts, originally there was going to be almost 1/3 more gameplay where you find your way out and… well we don’t know what else really. They’re probably retooling those story elements for Portal 2.
Also, he did say he’s been playing for two weeks and has only just gotten there.
Id soo buy this stuff
aww some cute costumes I haven’t seen yet >w<
I hadn’t seen any of the costumes before I did this article either. Super cute!
Not a massive fan of portal but some of these are pretty cool. And the first costume is soooo cute!! =D
Brilliant. Slightly creepy, but still brilliant.
Seriously, where do you find this stuff?
Nice, I am getting a tattoo at the end of the month, it’s the marathon Symbol :)
That is one of the most awesome things I’ve ever heard. You, sir, are what we like to call a winner.
Those case mods are slick. Do want.
I like the 4th to last one.
I officially name this the best thread I’ve ever seen on this site! I’d name a fav, but I like every single one!
Fucking Amazing. All of them.
I want that companion cube rubiks cube now, its brilliant =]
Not a Portal fan, but this stuff was pretty cool.
That last one ruined it for me, though.
I’m making a note here — HUGE SUCCESS
Too bad the tattoo reads like “LOVE” and “LLES”
i want that portal gun so bad.
I wonder if there’s a button to alternate the colors from blue to, well, you know.

woah – they are all fantastic!!
massive want on the knitted and crocheted companion cubes – so i can see at least 2 new projects coming up :)
i really want the apature PC case. PLEASE?
I want the girl dressed as the Weithed Companion Cube in my bed right fucking now.
Let it go guys. It took long enough for this stupid meme to die.
ehh, its an awesome game, but short and not very replayable. in that respect, the more you see of people taking it too seriously, the more creations and the more bandwaggon-hopping, it almost becomes like a movie that sold out to franchising. it’s everywhere, the “cake is a lie” became the fastest failing joke ever after its extreme overuse in forum posting and blog commenting. the more I see of it the less I like it.
I really really want those shoes.
Those are amazing.
i <3 companion cube
seriously want the portal gun, its awesome
Cool, I want that cake!
All of them but the sushi one is nice looking.
That last girl is not wearing a damn thing under that costume.
I want the girl in the last pic. Could you email me her phone number?
i have never played this game before i just used my stumble upon button and it took me here for some reason…the cakes look really good though(if i had to choose between a box that means love and a cake that means lies I’d probably pick the cake)
ha ha i probably would too
Well, you’d be disappointed, because the cake is THE lie.
The fifth one is the coolest case mod I’ve seen in a long time.
The Aperture Science Computer is AWESOME.
Compainion Cube = Overrated.
Hey, thanks for putting my case mod on here. Mine is the 5th one down on the list with the CCube stuck on top. I entered the case mod into a CPU Mag contest but got 2nd to Boddaker with the famous BSG case mod. It’s my first mod so I’m glad you guys like it. THE CAKE IS A LIE!!! XD
I would say it deserved first! Great job. :)
Thanks! I appreciate it! :o)
Here’s a pic of an awesome Chell.

She made that plush turret herself! It even supports itself on its little legs!
Found this Portal mod for Xbox 360.

That’s pretty awesome. Thanks for the link!
Freaking awsome the solid aluminum one is the one that I made. I sent about 40 of them to Valve software. Sweet!
Here’s a pic of a little WCC I made in ceramics, I carved the design out of a cube, fired it, then painted it. I also have a larger one, no pic as of yet, also made from clay, then painted ^.^
