The world, quite understandably, simply adores Portal’s silent square. While we all tough out the agonising wait until Christmas to snuggle up to an official Weighted Companion Cube plushie, here’s a couple more wallpapers that RPS readers have kindly pointed out.
Chris sends this piece of widescreen eyeball delight, available in multiple shades including ‘toxic green’ and ‘hot pink’:

And Wolf sends his own fine creation, available in widescreen and full-fat flavours here.

Hypocrites! You killed the cube, and now you claim to love it? You’re worse than GLaDOS.

Yeah, sorry about that. Please delete it.
Erm, sorry, I meant: my message contains major spoilers, please delete it. :)
RPS might forgive you. But will WCC?
I just hacked in emoticon support into my self-spawned blog software, the sensibly named BaaBaa-BlogSheep(tm).
It supports just one emoticon.
The Weighted Companion Cube given above. It expresses all that is important in life. All other emotions are secondary.
Try this wallpaper. :D

Hmm, the comment system seems to remove multiple spaces so it’s truly borked now.
Do it with <pre> wrapped around. In fact I think I will, since my last attempt was crushed by the very system I am now subverting.
