T-Cube

We should probably know better than to get so carried away by the joy of Portal paraphenalia that we post links to Valve’s online store every time they update. I mean, they’re not even advertising with us. Man, we can’t even get being corporate shills right. But it’s hard to resist pointing out these new Portal-related t-shirts that have just gone on sale.

This would be the XXXXXXXXXXL shirt.

The shirts are designed by Portal developers Kim Swift and Realm Lovejoy, and don’t bear the usual horrible markings of game-related merchandise. I.e. you could actually wear them in public. There’s, of course, a Weighted Companion Cube shirt, with a madly scrawled love poem on the back, a long-sleeve Cake shirt, featuring the repeated insistence that “the cake is a lie” on the reverse, and a rather elegant t-shirt or hoodie with GLaDOS draped over the shoulder. Elegant hoodie? That sounds wrong.

They’re the featured items on the store front page just now.
