New Tees to Go With the New Portal 2 DLC
The most innovative puzzle game of all time just got a fresh update this week with the launch of the “Peer Review” DLC. After running some tests with a certain psychotic operating system, we put together 4 new designs that are sure to sharpen your room-escaping skills.
I Made $60 Men’s Tee
I Made $60 Women’s Tee
“Welcome to Aperture — Where the science is theoretical but your $60 is FACT!” Who knew you would make so much money with such little effort? Of course you can even double it if you let us cut you open and stick some science stuff in you. That?s $120! And how!
For Science Men’s Tee
For Science Women’s Tee
“I think we can put our differences behind us… for science… you monster.” If Chell and GlaDOS had met at a different time, they might have been friends. They’d have sat down, giggled over tea, mused about what colleges they were going to. Unfortunately they met while one of them was an Aperture test subject, and the other was an insane AI driven by a constant need to run homicidal tests. Fate has a funny way of bringing people together.
Gel Splatter Men’s Tee
Gel Splatter Women’s Tee
Here at Aperture, we believe that science is more than just discipline. If you’re doing it by the numbers, then you’re probably going to miss all the things that start with letters. That’s why we encourage our researchers to think outside the cube and be creative. If an idea doesn’t have a little bit of crazy in it, then it’s not worth doing! At Aperature Science, science is art, and art is science!
Undeserved Compliments Men’s Tee
Undeserved Compliments Women’s Tee
One of the hazards of science is letting your test subject become over-confident in her abilities to surmount challenge. This often leads to critical failures in testing procedures and potato-related injuries. Conversely, it is much less entertaining to watch a despondent test-taker fall from a high platform or incinerate herself in a testing-laser. It is important to keep your victim — I mean, subject — at the proper disposition, to ensure that your science is both fun, and useful! And remember to always dispose of your failed experiments in the proper cremation receptacles! For science!
… and we got a new Quest, too
You didn’t think we’d just put out some new tees and leave it at that, did you? We’ve also put together a new J!NX Quest: Portal 2 in MS Paint. It’s pretty much exactly as it sounds — draw your favorite scene from Portal 2 in MS Paint (or some other comparable rinky-dink graphics program), and you can win 1 of 10 signed Portal 2 lithographs from Valve. There’s a little more to it than that, so be sure to check the contest page for all the deets.

from VIZ Media:
To celebrate the upcoming U.S. theatrical premiere and DVD and Blu-ray release of NARUTO SHIPPUDEN THE MOVIE: BONDS, and the birthday of the Naruto character on October 10th, VIZ Media has just announced a special NARUTO movie marathon on VIZAnime.com, the company’s own website for free anime, as well as on the streaming content provider HULU (Hulu.com).
A total of 4 feature films featuring the spunky ninja will stream on both sites from October 7th thru October 23rd and will include NARUTO THE MOVIE: NINJA CLASH IN THE LAND OF SNOW, NARUTO THE MOVIE 2: LEGEND OF THE STONE OF GELEL, NARUTO THE MOVIE 3: GUARDIANS OF THE CRESCENT MOON KINGDOM. For the first time, these films will also be made available to stream with either subtitled or English dubbed dialogue tracks. NARUTO SHIPPUDEN:THE MOVIE will also be available dubbed on both streaming sites.
VIZ Media will premiere the latest NARUTO feature film – NARUTO SHIPPUDEN THE MOVIE: BONDS – in a special theatrical event to be held at the New York School of Visual Arts Theatre (SVA) on Saturday, October 15th as part of the company’s activities at the 2011 New York Comic-Con. Esteemed Japanese voice actress Junko Takeuchi, who provides the original voice for Naruto, will also attend the event.
NARUTO THE MOVIE: NINJA CLASH IN THE LAND OF SNOW (Rated TV-14)
A land forever covered in ice… A princess missing for ten years… And one high-spirited ninja named Naruto!
In this first NARUTO feature film, Naruto and the rest of Squad 7 take on a new mission: bring popular movie star Yukie Fujikaze to the Land of Snow, where they’re filming the final scenes of her latest movie. Trouble is, she’s even more headstrong than Naruto, and she doesn’t want to go! Her reluctance may be connected to what else lies in wait for them – three rogue Snow ninja and a tyrannical ruler seeking the key to a mysterious treasure.
NARUTO THE MOVIE 2: LEGEND OF THE STONE OF GELEL (Rated TV-14)
Naruto, Shikamaru and Sakura are in the middle of returning a lost ferret to its owner — the easiest mission ever. Or so they think! When a young knight, Temujin, attacks them out of nowhere, they are drawn into a fierce struggle over a treasure harboring legendary power – the Stone of Gelel. Temujin’s master wants to use the stone’s power to create a utopia, while the last of the clan who once controlled the stone wants to keep it sealed away forever. Naruto and the others, along with help from Gaara and Kankuro, must protect the stone from those who want to misuse its power. When the dream of utopia becomes a nightmare, it’ll take a ninja to set things right!
NARUTO THE MOVIE 3: GUARDIANS OF THE CRESCENT MOON KINGDOM (Rated TV-14)
Naruto, Sakura and Kakashi team up with Rock Lee to protect Prince Michiru and his son Hikaru on their return home to the Crescent Moon Kingdom. Easy enough, until the royal family becomes a royal pain!
Prince Michiru can’t help indulging his son, even buying him a circus along the way! Naruto has a tough time putting up with both the spoiled Hikaru and a saber-toothed tiger, but the real adventure begins when they reach the Land of the Moon and find themselves facing a villainous uprising. Does Naruto have what it takes to save an entire kingdom?
NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: THE MOVIE (Rated TV-14)
A powerful spirit that once threatened to destroy the world is back! Naruto’s mission is to protect a priestess named Shion, who is the only one with the power to seal away the monster. She also has the uncanny ability to predict someone’s fate. Her latest prediction: Naruto will soon die. Naruto’s only hope is to abandon Shion, but that’s not Naruto’s style. He decides to face her fatal prediction head-on – and die!
More information on NARUTO is available at Naruto.com.

Good afternoon!
Sorry to have kept you waiting, but we’re afraid our silly walk has become rather sillier recently, and so it takes us rather longer to get to work. Perhaps it has something to do with today being the 42nd anniversary of Monty Python’s Flying Circus. Hopefully it won’t make us drop the cake we’re bringing in for Ada Lovelace Day on Friday.
Oops! Gotta go! We’re late to Self Defense Against Fruit class so we’ll just leave you here with these goodies.
BuckyCubes Magnetic Building Cubes
Magnetic fun to the power of three! BuckyBalls are fun. Everyone knows that. But what happens when you take BuckyBalls and send them through a multidimensional spacetime warp? That’s right: they become cubed! Literally. BuckyCubes are 125 (that’s 5 cubed) super-strong, rare earth magnets. What makes them so great (apart from their magnetic attraction) are their flat sides. Because these BuckyCubes fit perfectly next to each other, they can slide and glide around. You can build shapes, structures, skylines, and anything else you can imagine. BuckyCubes are so much fun you’ll never stop playing with them. And if you can figure out how to pass BuckyCubes through a rip in spacetime, maybe you’ll get BuckyHyperCubes?
Buy 2 Get 1 Free Buckyballs Sidekicks – The ultimate bored-at-work toy
Buckyballs seem silly until you get your hands on them. Then you’ll wonder how you lived without these fascinating little magnets. Have to see to believe? Add two chrome Buckyball Sidekicks to your cart and a third one will be added for FREE — but hurry, this offer is only for a limited time. Still not convinced? Check the Action Shots to see how other geeks are using Buckyballs!
Take $10 off – Need some beautiful plumage?
In honor of the anniversary of the first episode of Monty Python’s Flying Circus, we are pining for the fjords. No really, we’re not sleeping, or stunned, or bereft of life. But if you’re feeling that way, you can use the code EXPARROT to save $5 on orders of $25 or more and $10 on orders of $50 or more, good through 11:59pm ET 10/7/11.

from Nintendo of Canada:
For nearly three decades, players around the globe have enjoyed the boundless fun and strategic thrills of the Tetris game. Now Nintendo is taking the iconic puzzle game to extraordinary new heights with Tetris: Axis, available exclusively for the hand-held Nintendo 3DS system at a suggested retail price of $29.99. With mind-expanding augmented-reality modes, more than 20 unique modes of play and a variety of multiplayer options, the game offers something new for everyone, whether you’re a Tetris veteran or just getting your first taste of this unique franchise.
Tetris: Axis combines traditional elements from the original Tetris game with new twists and features that showcase the unique capabilities of the portable Nintendo 3DS. The main goal is to maneuver and arrange falling blocks called Tetriminos to clear lines and boost your score. With two new augmented-reality modes in Tetris: Axis, the iconic puzzle action moves beyond the screen as players use AR Cards (included with the Nintendo 3DS system) to view game play in their own real-world environments. Other new modes include Fever, in which players must clear lines and activate special items in speedy 60-second rounds. Nintendo 3DS owners with wireless broadband Internet access can download new items for Fever mode via the system’s built-in SpotPass feature.
“People all over the world have experienced the fun of the Tetris game, but they’ve never seen it quite like this,” said Ron Bertram, Nintendo of Canada’s vice-president and general manager. “The augmented-reality modes and 3D visuals in Tetris: Axis add some wonderfully immersive twists that are unique to this version of the Tetris game.”
Tetris: Axis also offers nine party modes, including three that are new to the Tetris franchise. Local wireless modes allow up to eight players to enjoy Tetris: Axis simultaneously using only one Game Card (each player must have his or her own Nintendo 3DS system). By using Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection to compete with friends over broadband Internet, as many as eight players can dive into the action.
