PopCap And Portal, Sitting In A Tree

By John Walker on October 28th, 2007 at 2:15 am.

We received an excellent email from PopCap employee Anthony Coleman, showing us his Halloween costume.

Which really is rather extraordinary.

Madder than me.

He explains,

“I made this over the past few nights out of ~85 square feet of ½ inch thick foam board. It is split horizontally into an upper and lower section. I had to do this so I could get it out of my house and fit it into the car. When complete it is a 30”x30”x30” cube that I can tuck myself completely inside of (that’s why I have the heart circle hat).”

The man’s a genius.

    Except, the Weighted Companion Cube seems a bit… bigger… than I remember.
