Valve’s Weighted Companion Cube plushy may have sold out at a frightening speed but in our opinion something much better has taken its place – the HL2 Headcrab Hat. Who hasn’t wanted to walk onto public transport moaning with a headcrab on their head, only to pay the fare and sit down quietly? Ok, so it’s a specific fantasy but for US$29.95 it could soon be reality.

I think it has to be said that some of us don’t see the big deal with the Weighted Companion Cube, but rather than be torn to shreds by the crazed masses we must post every little detail of its rise to power. Not very cute when it’s causing a human to live in fear, is it? Anyway, Valve have seen it fit to release two of their own plush Cubes. One is regular sized, suitable for throwing at co-workers or letting the cat destroy. The other resides in your car, usurping the place of the fluffy dice. They are said to be “coming soon”.

Place a cutesy item in an area void of cute things and people will go nuts for it. This has never been truer than with the Weighted Companion Cube, and as is the tradition with all baking gamers a cake must be made out of it. If a box with hearts on it is your nirvana, then bask in the bliss because this is as good as it gets.
