It seems churlish not to link to all this madness.
First up, it’s TF2 in Lego!
Follow the link, as there’s lots more of these, and it’s obligatory that you look at them.
Next, how about a Weighted Companion Cube made of balloons?

Coulton on Portal
Posted by Alec Meer on October 23rd, 2007.
Share ·In case you missed it, MTV’s gaming blog ‘Multiplayer’ yesterday threw up an interview with Jonathan Coulton, the dude who wrote Portal’s ever-catchy Still Alive, about the story behind that very song. It’s fun, if not hugely illuminating, but most importantly addresses the vital cake question:
I don’t think I ever got any cake, but they [Valve] promised it all along. I will say they have the greatest table of snacks in their kitchen that I have ever seen: baskets and baskets of granola bars, and candy and all kinds of gum and Tootsie Rolls and Nerds and Doritos in little bags.
Valve’s Eric Wolpaw (and ex-Old Man Murray funnyking) weighs in at one point, revealing that also considered for Portal’s music was Ben Folds. Ew. I suspect I’ll have nightmares tonight about a horrific alternate reality where that actually happened, like the ones I sometimes have about Robert Zemeckis sticking with Eric Stoltz instead of Michael J. Fox for Back To The Future.

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.
