It’s our daily Weighted Companion Cube post! Some desktop-sized screenshots I constructed for your background happiness.

So many friends!

Spoilers and links after the gap.

A Much Happier Ending

Fullsize version of the pic above, mimicking the last shot of GLaDOS:

I'm not sure there'll be enough to go round.

Cube Party!

Join so very many chums for a lovely party and a slice of cake. Just try to ignore the orbs.

Huge thanks to Kim for her help with this.

    Nicely done. They appear to be a trifle low on the gnome count though.

    How do I spawn companion cubes through the console? I can only get it to do regular cubes with the special ent_create_somethingaboutacubegoeshere command

    Don’t suppose there’s any chance of having non widescreen versions of these is there?

    It has six sides, yet only a maximum of 4 are visible at any one time. A source of endless intrigue and wonder.

  9. Wroth says:

    I’m not sure I like the idea that there are loads of companion cubes. It kinda removes the personal connection.

    *SPOILER*
    I much prefer to think that the companion cube at the end is the same one, that he somehow managed to survive the furnace, because he’s so clever :)
    *END SPOILER*

    Worth, well if GLaDOS is “Still Alive” then I’m sure he can be too ;)
