Did I miss something about the cube? It wasn’t such a big deal for me.
You will die alone.
(Meanwhile, I will die lamenting my rash decisions. Oh, to touch the cubical sides again…)

Kieron, you live saver. I loved that cube! Now I too have a background to prove it. Cheers :D
I tried drowning the emptiness in my soul with brief dalliances with other cubes, but it just wasn’t the same.
Still heartbroken. :-(
A Cube Haiku
Oh cube, my soulmate,
Six sides, always present
Come with me, free me!
One more syllable needed in the middle line!
(I suggest: six sided, always present)
Darnit, that’s what i get using notepad to compose these.
A Cube Haiku, v1.01
Oh cube, my soulmate,
Six sided, always present
Come with me, free me!
I’m moved beyond tears.
Ours was not a healthy relationship.
Sometimes I felt ‘Cubey’ was using me for her own ends.
She treated like an object.
Yet still this sadness lingers…
I think WCC is out of my league.
I still would.
I wish there were a 1900×1200 of that.
I prefer cake personally.
French version is ok, but since i read around here that it was the same voice from tf2, i’m wondering if there’s a way of playing it again in english … ‘Cubey’ doesn’t speak but likes to be spoken of!
I ate cakey with WCC.
A moment that will last forever.
Synoptase – I believe there’s a language tab in the options.
The WCC now adorns my desktop and shall remain there until replaced by cake. O cake… that damn lying GLaDOS promised such delicious and moistness! Fie on her and all her kingdom for denying me promised cake.
I also think RPS’ name should be henceforth changed to “Rock, Cake, Weighted Companion Cube”
For those who dally with Facebook (which is, I believe, everyone in the world ever?); http://leedsac.facebook.com/group.php?gid=6430391198
So – who is going to make the physical artifact? It’s one of those beautiful objects that I would spend silly amounts of money for.
But of course it wouldn’t *be* silly money, as it would be my friend. And I could hug it under candlelight at night.
For it is my love.
(And for not the first time I curse my inability to do anything with my hands besides destroy…)
Well, I’d certainly buy a life-sized WCC. But only if I could keep stuff in it.
(And for not the first time I curse my inability to do anything with my hands besides destroy…)
Um… Tom? Aren’t you that Mighty Healing Ambulance-Man? I’m afraid!
On-topic: I think Valve would be mad not to produce cubes for sale. Although it may feel a little perverted, purchasing a tawdry, plastic simulation of one’s true love…
I have just put my cube in the fire. And it felt like MY cube, too. Sob.
Love the cube,
The cake is a lie.
Life is simple.
@Bobsy: I think giving a real-life WCC a useful function (beyond holding things down) would undermine the smug sense of in-jokiness that owning one would provide in the first place. But I’d still love it either way.
Yes yes yes, I know a REAL WCC would have to be solid and otherwise useless of course. But I wouldn’t have such a massive, heavy taker-of-space in my house if I couldn’t…
Oh my god, I have it.
Minifridge.
IT STORES BEERS.
Cargo Cult – yes I am, and I am correct in what I say.
Tom, Bobsy, Cargo – Valve are making one. Before the end of the year. See here! http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=173586
And on a secondary note – how many people have hatred in their heart for the ‘Advanced’ (read:pretender to my affections) Sphere.
Pentadact – There is joy in my heart at this news. So much so that even overseas shipping will hold no fear for me.
“And on a secondary note – how many people have hatred in their heart for the ‘Advanced’ (read:pretender to my affections) Sphere.”
It doesn’t even have a heart on it! It’s smooth, round surfaces are an anathema to me!
/leaves quietly
Hmm, I guess I could make an exception for beer storage.
Also, the sphere is just a cheap floozy. It’s bad news.
