Need a sentry gun here? Valve has the answer.

Video: In the words of a colleague, it's official - Valve makes too much money, and we now have the proof...

You know that phrase, a picture tells a thousand words? Well, it's even truer of video, and that's pretty much what we have right here.

All you need to know is that this is what happens when Valve, makes of awesome games, makes a request of New Zealand's Weta Workshop, maker of awesome... things. 

Man. All our office has is a broken foozball table and some crappy toy guns.

They fumbled the ball.
Should've done a sentry from Portal, complete with voice.
The gun they had made, any engineering firm could've knocked up.

thats frikin awesome, tho i'd go one step further and have it track rfid tags, so you could have it track someone as they enter the room, that'd be lol.

When will developers realise that every gun worth having absolutely must have a beer bottle opener built in?
