Portal deservedly earned the respect of many gamers this year. One of the primary reasons for this is undoubtedly its dark sense of humor and excellent writing. One of the more brilliant ideas was to turn the game's turrets into actual characters. Spouting lines like "are you still there?" and "I don't hate you," the turrets provided an ample share of chuckles. Smooth Few Films has taken this idea and run with it, creating "Portal: a Day in the Life of a Turret," a short film about (you guessed it) Portal's turrets. Imagine two turrets shooting the breeze around the Aperture Science water cooler and you'll have a pretty good idea of what the film is about. Watch the (not safe for work) video after the break. Oh, and keep an eye out for a special appearance by the Weighted Companion Cube.

That was great, though I didn't like their take (or voice) on companion cube.

But remember, the Cube cannot
speak. In the event that the Weighted Companion Cube does speak, you are urged to disregard its advice... Or trash talk as the case may be...

Also we've got to note that the eight out of ten Aperture Scientists were wrong.

As much as I never thought that would be the companion cube would "speak", I thought it was funny in a kind of shocking way. The idea of the companion cube being a dick was pretty different from what I expected.
Overall the video was funnier than I expected

chuckle. Parts of that were funny (when they were 'singing' - that was awesome). Most of it was JR high potty talk... or like playing anything on xbox live... just without the racism. Good job on the voices too!

That Portal wallpaper at the top of this post... anyone know where I can find that? I spent a good half hour looking around, but general "portal" searches are useless...

That was very good.
"I wonder if there will be cake?"

Best video I have seen in a few days.
