Companion cube's dark secret

[Tonkka²]

is everyone missing the fact that the people would suffocate in the cubes? assuming there were people inside them, they wouldn't be able to scream for help unless they were very recently put inside the cube.

Maybe the scream is caused by the air escaping from the subject's lungs?

In extreme loneliness, having an emotional attachement to an inanimate object is an effective mechanism.

Not in a game that takes less than an hour to complete though

There might be a lot of tiny air-holes

[Demian]

Not plausible enough for me.

Or it was just a sound effect.
I swear the cult around the Companion Cubes is the most annoying thing about the Portal fandom.

Perhaps the 'voices' are of the undying souls of the test subjects

ya I think that most of them probably "don't give you advice" because they starved to death or died

[Cybersix]

Aperture Laboratories is a Companion Cube :O

[Muslim]

the entire game is rightfully littered with these kinds of conspiracies; with a game like this you'd expect that to happen. the ratman foundation is probably the oddest part of the entire game though, and it kinda terrifies me.

there could be a miniature portal on the inside supplying them with air.

also, the video forgot to talk about the empty cans of beans. Those "beans" were probably made from companion cube ashes.

what would be the point of keeping a test subject alive after its fulfilled its purpose? that sounds like a waste of resources

[Anti-Block]

im sure the companion cubes weren't totally airtight

Let's not forget that GLaDOS is very good at wasting resources. A good example is the emancipation proclamation grill.
Second, "she" (assuming robots can have definite genders) enjoys suffering and pain.
