With the Craze over Vavle's game: Portal , one thing that players loved in the game was the companion cube ( ^_^ <3 ) . There would come a time where players are inevitably required to part with their beloved companion cube at which people believe is the most tragic part of the game.
With that said, players looked for ways to bring the companion cube to real life, most popularly, with origami.But one real-life companion cube stood out from the rest, this was made by Megan.Brunner and her husband, John. This particular companion cube was made from wood and is nothing short of artistic. Great work!
(now I wish I had one of those too.) The companion cube trend is starting to grow, and I could expect more innovative companion cube creations such as this in the future. =)

Quote from Megan:
"My husband played through, and fell in love with, Valve's new game Portal. After joking that he wanted a "real" Companion Cube for his desk, I thought it would be fun to make him a wooden version for Christmas. Problem: we don't have a wood shop. Happily, his uncle lives near us, and has a garage full of tools. John did the cutting, and I did the sanding, staining, and gluing. All told, It took about a week of work."
