Call Chell, she’s gonna love this! It’s a cake mix for making the chocolate cake that GLaDOS promised the hero of Portal as a prize. Is this Aperture Laboratories’ way of making amends to all its test subjects? Or is it just another ruse? Perhaps its decided to start things off with cake, with the murdering to come later?

You can order the cake mix from Amazon UK for £12 (~$18 USD). It comes with a candle, but you’ll have to supply the cherries. Also don’t be surprised if you get Deadly Neurotoxin instead.

I’ve been playing through BioShock: Infinite for the last couple of weeks, and one thought that kept popping into my head was what would happen if Elizabeth’s “tearing” ability let her access other video games? Well, illustrator Nick Minor (aka Radiant Grey) had the same thought, and came up with this Portal/BioShock Infinite mashup…

It really would be cool if you could hop through a tear and end up in a test chamber. Or better yet, escape from GLaDoS and Wheatley by jumping through to Columbia. Of course, then you’d have to deal with Mechanical Patriots and the Handyman, which make the enemies of Portal seem pretty tame by comparison.

Pick up an 11×17 print of this brilliant mashup over at Radiant Grey’s Etsy shop for $9.99(USD). Not that it really needs saying, but that version comes without the giant watermark in the middle of Elizabeth’s back.

You can still feel like King of your castle, even when you’re stuck at work. Just do what this guy did, who turned his office cubicle into a castle. All it took was a little cardboard, a Sharpie or two, and some creativity.

It has everything a modern cubicle castle needs. There’s the DirectTV Genie girl, who I guess represents the Princess he wishes he had, a blimp and even a drawbridge that is guarded by a paper shredder. Though the door appears large enough to only admit someone the size of Tyrion Lannister.

It even has a little window so that he can look out upon his kingdom when not working. All it needs is a moat, and he’ll be all set.

While the G4 model of the iMac more than resembled a desk lamp, the original G3 iMacs just looked like cool and colorful all-in-one computers. So if anyone were to convert an iMac into a lamp, I would have assumed it would have been the version with the pivoting base. Oh yeah, someone already did that. So with that ground already covered, I guess somebody had to go and Think Different.

Jenny Serwylo snapped a picture of these cool iMac ceiling fixtures which hang in the Toronto, Ontario offices of the company she works for, G Adventures. The colorful, translucent shells of the classic fruit colored iMacs is perfect as a light source. What a cool idea.

All I’ve got in my office is one of these.

You know, they say everything tastes better deep-fried, and I have to agree. My wife an I always talk about how you could fry up some old shoe leather, and it would taste good. I wonder how a fried Gundam would taste. Guess I don’t have to wonder anymore…

Now I’m in the mood for tempura. Thanks a lot, Lazorz.
