Weta Workshop Sent Valve A Functional Portal Turret

This is a video of Valve employees unboxing and playing with the spot-on Portal turret replica sent to them from Weta Workshop. It even has motion-tracking capabilities so it can aim at you wherever you go. It doesn't shoot anything though, just has some light-up gun effects and sound. Now I know what you're thinking, "That doesn't look anything like a Portal turret, GW -- it's a box! Have you even played the game before?" Nope, neither one. I just blew your mind didn't I? "Plus lost a lot of respect." *pinching cheek* Daaaaaw, you still had some left for me?!

Hit the jump for a short video of the unboxing and demo.

Thanks to Tone, who -- you call me a friend, but you only want my gifts, and I'd never see you if I had no loot. Anybody?! Come on, that song was great!
