Valve Gets a Real-Life Portal Turret

[Bloodstain]

I....instinctively want to kick it over......

 

[Chimpzy_v1legacy]

Must ... resist ... urge to spend all my savings to buy one of my own.

 

[Andaxay]

Oh my god.

Oh.

My.

God.

Weta. Valve. Thank you. When I'm a millionaire I am totally getting myself one of these. Outstanding turret.

 

[antipunt]

Knock it over knock it over XD

 

[idodo35]

i wonder if ill be allowed to leagaly use those as home security assuming they are fully armed and opperational and can make swiss cheese out of intruders...
bah who cares about the law and all that shit! im gonna get one of those... or 24...

 

[Nouw]

It's a shame they're so easy to knock over . Provided you get there of course.

Next should be giant GLADOS hanging at the ceiling of the main lobby.

 

[Goofguy]

Oh Weta, aren't you busy with The Hobbit? This is pretty damn awesome, though.

 

[maninahat]

They need to put it in the same room as that life-sized, TF2 sentry gun Weta previously made. See if they mate.

 

[KoudelkaMorgan]

Too awesome!

Shame that having this turret would actually make people MORE likely to break into your home though.

So adorable!

Put guns in that and it would actually work as a sentry turret, apart from the shooting everyone who passes, it'd need a way to tell the difference from the owners and intruders. Also I'm pretty sure it's illegal to gun down intruders with a sentry turret.

Ha, perhaps for you boring UK residents, but I live in the great state of Florida. Where we have a very special law, the "Stand your ground" law. Which means I'm perfectly within my rights to gun down anyone who steps onto my propertah.

Time to start saving up my money!

 

[Dogstile]

I'm confused, I swear that valve has actually been given one of these turrets before. Am I just experiencing some major deja vu here?

 

[Alexander Competitor]

maybe they should make more of these, they shouldn't be to difficult or expensive to mass produce...

Weta's crafting abilities are pretty well near miraculous. There is now valid evidence to suggest that Santa Claus's workshop is in fact located in Wellington, New Zealand instead of being at the north pole as previously believed.

Valve is pretty lucky to get this gift, but they're an awesome studio so it's to be expected. The real question is: when can we expect a Half-Life Strider?

Aperture doesn't strike me as the kind of company that would bother putting an IFF system in their turrets.

 

[TheCaptain]

Oh my god, I think I'm gonna cry... She's adorable! What's the price tag on that? I want one and never ever give it back!

 

[deakin_j]

Anyone else suspect Valve may be beefing up their security before getting on with half life 3?

 

[Al-Bundy-da-G]

Yea maybe in Canada, damn Canucks.

I have 2,854 dollars in my savings account. You think that's enough? I can also empty out my 401k.

Canada? I'm Welsh, my profile picture is a Welsh flag, and Wales is next to England and part of the United Kingdom.

ALL MY WANT AND MONEY!

Damn, Those guys at Weta are freaking good...WHY WON'T YOU SELL THEM COMMERCIALY WETA!? WHY!?

JUST SHUP AND TAKE MY DAMN MONEY!

Erhm...I really wish I would be able to buy one...
