A Portal 2 Marriage Proposal
How does a gamer propose marriage to another gamer? If the first gamer is well-connected, he gets a level designer, an artist and the voice actor behind GLaDOS (your cybernetic tormentor in the Portal games) to create a special set of Portal levels (and not simple ones, either) which conclude in a big church-like chamber and GLaDOS popping the question on his behalf. The video above shows gameplay from these levels.
If you have the PC or Mac version of Portal 2, you can take these levels for a spin:
- Download them from here
- Put the VPK in the addons directory
- Put the bik files in the media directory
- Open up the console and type map la_bringing_together
First the zombie-themed engagement photos and now marriage proposal videogame levels. Are these signs of a geek marriage chic trend?

It’s a “Portal” Day Today
Today is all about virtual meetings; I’m spending most of it sitting at the home office with a headset microphone clamped to my head, bouncing from one online meeting to another, magically transporting my presence over great distances. My co-worker John Bristowe is in the same boat and quipped on Twitter: “I feel like I’m playing Live Meeting Portal”.
With that remark, and since it’s a Friday, I can’t help but post this amusing cat photo featuring Portal:
