If you’ve played Portal 2 solo mode all the way to the end, you’ve heard the excellent end-credits song “Want You Gone,” Jonathan Coulton’s follow-up to “Still Alive,” his justly famous song from the first Portal.
Well, a fan named Pedro Calvo has made a music video based on the song and the ending of the game, and it’s really very well done. You can watch it below.
Note: The video contains spoilers for the ending of the solo-mode storyline of Portal 2. It also contains a spoiler for the ending of the first Portal, though I’m guessing the number of people who have neither played it nor had the ending already spoiled for them is vanishingly small.

In this unusual four-camera video, director Chase Heavener shows a view of the final liftoff of Space Shuttle Endeavour, shot by cameras attached to the solid rocket boosters. It looks far better fullscreen, and you may want to watch it on Vimeo to see it in HD and get to that fullscreen mode most easily. My favorite moment is around 2:26 when the boosters detach and thus go out of sync as they burn and spin. It’s poetic but also may induce mild motion sickness.
Beautiful by itself, but of particular interest for space nerds. The music is by Ulf Lohmann and the source video is from NASA.
SPACE SHUTTLE ENDEAVOUR FINAL LAUNCH from Northern Lights on Vimeo.
You can watch a much less exciting video of Endeavour’s final landing.
