Thus, the Cube has become something of a fan icon of the series, with many pieces of official merchandise and fan-created memorabilia depicting it. During the test, GLaDOS continually makes reference to how emotionally attached Chell is to the Cube. In the first title, Chell encounters the Weighted Companion Cube at the start of one of the test chambers, and GLaDOS forces her to incinerate it at the end of the chamber. One of the main focuses of the Portal fandom is the Weighted Companion Cube. There have also been many Portal-related fan projects, including home-made portal guns, fan films, and even a video game crossover with the Super Mario series (Mari0). The interactions between Chell and GLaDOS are frequently depicted, and crossovers between Portal and other fandoms are very common. As such, there are a number of deviantART groups and tumblrs.
There has also been a large amount of fanart set in the Portal universe. The Portal series has a large presence on 4chan /v/ board, and there are many other fansites. These commenters have pointed to the Portal series as proof that not all women in video games have to be hypersexualized in order for the games to be marketable. GLaDOS appears as a giant robotic woman, bound and suspended by the ankles. It was even argued by some that Portal is a "feminist critique" of modern FPS games in the first title, the only two characters are Chell (the player) and GLaDOS (the antagonist), both of them women. Critics praised the games' innovative take on the more traditional first-person shooter. Both games won multiple Game of the Year awards in 20, respectively. Portal and Portal 2 received widespread critical and fan acclaim, and quickly became hugely popular. It also introduced a co-op campaign and a community-based map creation system. Portal 2 had similar gameplay, and the plot focused more on the history of GLaDOS and Aperture Science. Because of the popularity of the original, Valve released a sequel, Portal 2, on April 19, 2011.
The challenges are set by the Center's rogue artificial intelligence GLaDOS. It follows the story of Chell, a laboratory clone, who must complete all the test chambers in the abandoned Aperture Science Enrichment Center in order to escape. The original title, Portal, was released on October 9th, 2007 on Microsoft Windows and Xbox 360, and subsequently on Playstation 3 on Decemas part of the Orange Box package.
