ThinkGeek contacted me after I sent them this video and issued me a full refund for the purchase price and apologized and said this is not what people should expect from them. That is good customer service so I forgive them. They didn't even ask for the broken one back.
They should've made it so it's two buttons, one is for a different portal, then a switch to change the gun type (Pbody, etc), and whenever you press a button, it makes the sound, so you don't have to do the portal and the sound at the same time when you want to switch.
Have been watching your videos for a long time now. And I am always checking up to see any new videos. Keep it up barnacules!!! One happy viewer from Australia!!!!
Hey Barnacules any tips or possibly on a video on how to start making a "nerd shelf" where I can put novelty and replica items like you have all over your desk?
Hey jerry, you should start taking interest into a makerbot digitizer. The makerbot digitizer is 3d scanner and it would seem awesome you managed to received one.
I don't really care if the white parts are scratched because when I get one I'm going to take them off and roughen them up with sandpaper so I can spray paint them black. I'm probably not going to order from ThinkGeek anyway because I don't want a broken stabilizer prong on mine like yours had. I'm also going to replace the red and orange LEDs with green ones, and paint one set of the removable stripes neon green.
Michael Steffensen I would not buy this unless I have some money I have not intention of using to buy something else. I could get so many steam games or even a great GPU for that price. There are so many things you could buy that have more use that this but that is just me, I'm poor people.
I would only pay this if it was on lease for a cosplay show. Leasing always costs more. I would pay $130 (£80 for me) for a 3 day lease. But not a perma keep. Actually thinking about it, you can get better replicas for cheaper. I think they are easy to make too. You can buy the parts on sites where they let you build it yourself and only costs I think about £50 (~$90) At least I would have fun building it and has that more sentimental value added. Yeah so this was well OPriced
I totally should, I'll see what they say when they mail me. Because it's limited edition I would have a hard time getting another one at the same price so I'm tempted to hold on to it if they can't replace it.
I have this gun, and snagged it from ThinkGeek as well. I planned to use it with a halloween costume, but it didn't work out. But I still love having it because i'm a nerd. It's pretty awesome. Thanks for the video!
Barnaclees, where'd you get that batarang? Or as you call it a "bat knife" it looks really cool and useful. I'm wondering where you got it because I sure could use a batman collectable. Especially a bat shaped shurikin.
Also some scratches on the portal gun might be for looks since after all its based off the portal 2's portal gun (even though their the same) and the red and blue multiplayer attachable pieces are also from portal 2. So that's probably based off the sequel where there's a lot of dangerous obstacles.
this really made me think twice about buying something from thinkgeek. i don't want abused geek toys. especially when i am paying full price. nice video dude .love it like always
Hey Jerry, Don't suppose you can tell me the intro song in this vid? It sounds soooo catchy and I was hoping if you could give me the name of it? Plz reply I've been searching every where for it and I cant find it :(
Hi jerry. I just bought a logitech drivingforce gt and I wonder if there are any games you recomend for it? Is Asseto corsa any good or is it another game i should buy?
You need a vacuum form table. Between that and your 3d-printers, you could build your own gun, and replacement parts. Still looks cool though. And props to thinkgeek for making it right. (It would appear you have a fan at thinkgeek, always a plus)
Uh, didn't you remember the warning from the game? GLaDOS: This is an Aperture Science Portal Gun Device. DO NOT stare directly at the Aperture lens, as this could damage or blind your eyes.
Can someone tell me the song that play in the background when he's first talking? This probably gets asked a lot, I just can't find anyone else that asked it and I really want to know.
you think if I ask for one thing for my birthday. (Or Christmas) I have a higher chance of getting it? (Customizable Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device is what I would ask for, and I wouldn't be mad if it was scratched up, or used, as long as I have one, I'm grateful for what I have. I'm only 12, big shock lol)
The things you can buy in america, amazing. That pizza slice just looks awsome! LoL where do you put all stuff you buy? Do you know if you can get the Tau Cannon, also known as the XVL1456 from half-life ?
I think you should do a new series where you put together pc's either using websites like ibuypower, or you build pc's and show us the best ones for either cheap or just flat out the best ones. Maybe?
No, I bumped it and didn't realize it. The mount it's on hinges side to side. I need to put the 27" 1440p back though since the 30" Samsung 305T is getting pretty weak (backlight).
You made us look directly at the operational end of the device!
I'm so sorry! #Cringe #PortalGunSafety
Lol
Barnacules Nerdgasm r u?
@Barnacules Nerdgasm I'm in pain
ThinkGeek contacted me after I sent them this video and issued me a full refund for the purchase price and apologized and said this is not what people should expect from them. That is good customer service so I forgive them. They didn't even ask for the broken one back.
Thats nice..
Do u still have the old one? If u don't want it I would buy it off your hands $75 dollar maybe
Barnacules Nerdgasm YOU ARE SO LUCKY TO HAVE THAT PORTAL GUN :(
I luv the fun facts!!
Fun fact: Batman always keeps kryptonite on him in case superman turns evil.
Just talked to ThinkGeek customer support and sent them the video and told them to contact me after they watch it.
Nuffle ma Duffy
Good. I wanna hear the "explantion" they give. Keep the videos coming!
BATKNIFE springs to mind,lol
Pls, let us know, how they react?
Anything yet ? lol
5:42 "Do not look directly at the operational end of The Device"
It would be cool if when you shot it a circle portal like light shot out and projected on a wall.
That would be epic!
Stick a Cree light in a when he triggers the light burst out and hits wall (Cree are incredibly bright) google it
Do not look into the operational end of the device.
Do not touch the operational end of the device.
Do not submerge the device in water, even partially.
And most importantly, don't ever *static*
Also Don't make lemonade
Make a combustible lemon to burn down the house of Life's manager!
Why are you eating pizza with a fork?
+Donejail Yes because he is normal
Donejail k?
@@Donejail you're a nerd

good vid. thinkgeek need a kick up the butt though...
Agreed, sending them mail... I put a link to Amazon in the description so people can get it somewhere else.
it's borderline trade descriptions act breach
Barnacules Nerdgasm $250 broken and return it !!
I like your pseudo a lot.
Barnacules Nerdgasm
you should return it
Whut are you doing to the gun in the thumbnail? I feel violated.
@Jason Rodriguez I was about to write that lmao
I hope everything goes well with your TH-cam career Jerry keep up the good work! :P
Our Avatars are extremely similar... Haha
Austin Leonard best avatar worldwide
Barnacules PLEASE NEVER EVER stop with that pitched voice Batknife !
love it ^^
You eat pizza with a fork? XD
That thumbnail though! Love your videos! I want to be just like you. I love technology just like you. Keep up the good work!
if you got the gravity gun from thinkgeek hopefully its not as banged up as this was..
5:28 DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY A THE OPERATIONAL END OF THE DEVICE.
Dude you know you're not supposed to look in the operational end right?
Have been watching your videos for a long time now. And I am always checking up to see any new videos. Keep it up barnacules!!! One happy viewer from Australia!!!!
I think I'll just keep my real guns thanks.
Yeah I'll keep mine too.
Oh good for you tw- wait what?
I'm thoroughly enjoying all the little fun fact things at the bottom of your videos lately. :)
now all you need to do is 3D print a potato and put it on the end of it.
Lol
With wires and a yellow light.
or get a real potato
Where did you get the Stargate shirt from? Man I miss that show....
NuffleDuffy
Awesome gun!
Old ahhh comment
Hey Barnacules any tips or possibly on a video on how to start making a "nerd shelf" where I can put novelty and replica items like you have all over your desk?
Yeah I ordered a beer glass from thinkgeek and I dropped it and it shattered into about 400 pieces. Wait that was completely my fault, nevermind.
Damn that whole 'my fault' situations!
Damn man, you are a boss at replying to your subscribers! I hope they right their wrong, that whole situation is a pretty bad way to conduct business.
Hey jerry, you should start taking interest into a makerbot digitizer. The makerbot digitizer is 3d scanner and it would seem awesome you managed to received one.
Fuck makerbot.
Return it and get a replacement that's actually new
I don't really care if the white parts are scratched because when I get one I'm going to take them off and roughen them up with sandpaper so I can spray paint them black. I'm probably not going to order from ThinkGeek anyway because I don't want a broken stabilizer prong on mine like yours had. I'm also going to replace the red and orange LEDs with green ones, and paint one set of the removable stripes neon green.
It seems very cheaply made. I don't think it's worth $130. It looks nice, but it too expensive to me.
US$130 for plastic, a few LEDs and a small speaker and some basic circuitry? What a waste of money. This thing isn't worth the space it occupies.
Michael Steffensen I would not buy this unless I have some money I have not intention of using to buy something else. I could get so many steam games or even a great GPU for that price. There are so many things you could buy that have more use that this but that is just me, I'm poor people.
Michael Steffensen I'd pay $50 for it as a prop for some small After Effects projects.
I would only pay this if it was on lease for a cosplay show. Leasing always costs more. I would pay $130 (£80 for me) for a 3 day lease. But not a perma keep. Actually thinking about it, you can get better replicas for cheaper. I think they are easy to make too.

try 400 dollars, trying to get one of my own
Batknife never gets old. I laugh every time he unboxes things.
Send that crap back!
I totally should, I'll see what they say when they mail me. Because it's limited edition I would have a hard time getting another one at the same price so I'm tempted to hold on to it if they can't replace it.
Just finished Portal 2 for the first time, yesterday. What an amazing game.
I like Bat Knife!
Me too!
The best thing about the scratches it makes it look like it's been abandoned in portal 2
What is with all of the unrelated "Fun fact" pop ups? Annoying.
I like them and most people don't find them annoying (see likes vs. dislikes). That's what's with them :D
They stopped being "fun" after the first two, nevermind after the sixth...
Barnacules Nerdgasm I like them too 😀 #NuffleDuffy
Barnacules Nerdgasm I liked the pop ups
#NuffleDuffy
I watch your unboxings exclusively for Batknife! it hysterical and never gets old. XD
#NuffleDuffy
And another NuffleDuffy.
#nuffleduffy
I have this gun, and snagged it from ThinkGeek as well. I planned to use it with a halloween costume, but it didn't work out. But I still love having it because i'm a nerd. It's pretty awesome. Thanks for the video!
Glad ThinkGeek backed up their product! I've had nothing but great experiences with them.
I cant find a video on this Batknife, or did it just appear out of the shadows?
Isn't it dangerous to cut towards your body when you're using the Bat Knife?
"Do not make-out with the operational end of the device"
Barnaclees, where'd you get that batarang? Or as you call it a "bat knife" it looks really cool and useful. I'm wondering where you got it because I sure could use a batman collectable. Especially a bat shaped shurikin.

The claw on the other hand I cannot explain.
Where is a place that you could buy it?
My cousin and me loves portal and we wanna get one
I got here accidently and now i can say you're my new favorite person! subbed! great vids!:D
Jerry! When will your GT Omega's come back in stock? I might purchase one!
13th September
What happened to "Do not look directly at the operational end of The Device"?
I am fairly new to this channel, Where did Barnacules get the Bat Knife?
My Atlas (the blue coop player character) portal gun came fully functional from ThinkGeek. It was in perfect condition.
The Fun Facts are so great please make more of them
Where did you got the Stargate T-shirt :D
2:28 *Get off my desk! Get outta here!*
I don't know why but the fact it sounds like an old man saying it makes it so much more funny.
Awesome stargate shirt where did you get it?
I saw you on LinusTechTips and I'm a fan of your videos. Keep up the awesome videos xD
Hey Barney! What's the name of that cool music you have on this intro & extro (
Did they give you a new version? Sorry for bad English.
The fun fact about Boxing being a sport, omg literally almost spit my water out from laughter!
Just noticed that if u remove the white things from the portal gun,it looks like the scout's shotgun in TF2
How long before it's gathering dust?
this really made me think twice about buying something from thinkgeek. i don't want abused geek toys. especially when i am paying full price. nice video dude .love it like always
Where did you buy all of those portal 2 stuffs?
Please let us know how you go with thinkgeek. I have bought only one item from them and it is for a gift and I haven't opened it. I am worried now.
Great work. Stick it to think geek. Can't wait for a video that showcases your ultimaker duel extruders in action.
So what do you say to your kids when they see the toys and think they are for them?
Why you didn't return it to thinkgeek when you noticed it was already used and was broken?
Great review! What's a portal gun??
Kind words when all else would freak out.
Well done!!!
Hey Jerry, Don't suppose you can tell me the intro song in this vid? It sounds soooo catchy and I was hoping if you could give me the name of it? Plz reply I've been searching every where for it and I cant find it :(
Email me the song or just reply but either way: owen_Monckton@yahoo.co.uk
Hi jerry. I just bought a logitech drivingforce gt and I wonder if there are any games you recomend for it? Is Asseto corsa any good or is it another game i should buy?
You need a vacuum form table. Between that and your 3d-printers, you could build your own gun, and replacement parts.
Still looks cool though. And props to thinkgeek for making it right. (It would appear you have a fan at thinkgeek, always a plus)
Is that a Stargate shirt you're wearing?!
I would like to see some more videos, but other than that you are making great content! Keep going Barnacules!
Uh, didn't you remember the warning from the game? GLaDOS: This is an Aperture Science Portal Gun Device. DO NOT stare directly at the Aperture lens, as this could damage or blind your eyes.
The way you did the review was so hilarious
I only plaed portol 1 and not finished it, whats the purple light for?
I absolutely love the thing you do while using the batknife xD cracks me up every single time never gets old xD
where did you get the mini portal f
guns
the blur and orange things are for Atlas and p-body
Just realized I've played through both portal games (portal 2 twice), and haven't noticed that the portals make different sounds...
I have had the same problem with thinkgeek and a few different problems with them. The customer service experience been a mix of good and bad.
Jerry, your fun facts are so informative! Thank you.
Yeah recently I bought something from ThinkGeek and it was already opened!
DUDE I LOVE THE FUN FACTS! THEY SHOULD BE YOUR THING XD!!!!! liked AND shared!
It sells for 4000 dollars now
The fun facts were great!
is that real or just you added details
Your setup is awesome. I hope one day my setup will be half as badass as yours.
Can You Please give Me the Link For the Rock Music For Your Barnacule Nerdgasm Intro Tnx
Always makes me smile when you use Bat Knife. :-)
Can someone tell me the song that play in the background when he's first talking? This probably gets asked a lot, I just can't find anyone else that asked it and I really want to know.
where did u get that? also I want that and a life size wheatly (he's soooo cute, lolz)
Lol...is this from the feed the beast modpack?
you think if I ask for one thing for my birthday. (Or Christmas)
I have a higher chance of getting it?
(Customizable Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device is what I would ask for, and I wouldn't be mad if it was scratched up, or used, as long as I have one, I'm grateful for what I have. I'm only 12, big shock lol)
You should buy a spring-loaded Bat Knife off of Amazon.
The things you can buy in america, amazing. That pizza slice just looks awsome! LoL where do you put all stuff you buy? Do you know if you can get the Tau Cannon, also known as the XVL1456 from half-life ?
so you now have 2 portal guns! epic
(new one and the original broken one i believe)
I think you should do a new series where you put together pc's either using websites like ibuypower, or you build pc's and show us the best ones for either cheap or just flat out the best ones. Maybe?
is your top monitor falling?
No, I bumped it and didn't realize it. The mount it's on hinges side to side. I need to put the 27" 1440p back though since the 30" Samsung 305T is getting pretty weak (backlight).
what would happen if you wore the portal material and shot portals on your body
Barncules can I use a sdhc with a 3d printer compared to a sd?
