Seriously though, everyone has to get off their stupid ass high horse. The WCC is the sh*, you only live once, and you're allowed to profess your love for an inanimate object if you damn well want to. What about cars? You can't love your car? You can't love your room? You can't love your comfy bed? I dare you to say that you don't love your comfy bed. You know what? Your bed probably <b>sucks</b>.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--> Go ahead, love your car / room / comfy bed / companion cube... don't hold your breath waiting for these objects to return your affections though. <img src="http://www.nsmod.org/forums/style_emoticons/default/bash.gif" border="0" class="linked-image" />

Uh, sure. Whether or not it's easy doesn't change the fact that it's perfectly legitimate. It seems like you're instantly forgetting all the posts that we are making, or at least the arguments within each post. This is one of the early symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. Just saying.

Wait a minute... Tycho, using something other than logic and rational debate to prolong an arguement? Surely you jest sir!

I think if we could learn to just ignore Depot and ignore Tycho's sarcasm we wouldn't have problem threads like this. Lets just close this and stop with the pointless bickering.

Logic is clearly no match for the ability to repeat the same arguement over and over.

Companion cube > woman.

you just said it's OK to love your car (which is cold, hard, uncaring metal) if you don't expect it to love you back... Portal is a superb game and the Cube is an emblem of the game, and most people who play it get into the spirit of loving the cube, because it's one of the funnier parts of the game. kinda like how kids think cops and robbers or cowboys and indians are cool when they're little, so they play games with each other based on those roles - most people who played Portal think the WCC was awesome and play along with the way it was portrayed in the game.
