So you managed to get your hands on a life-sized replica of the Portal 2 gun or made your own. Congrats! What else to do but complete your geek obsession with an original replica of the jumpsuit Chell wears in the game? It may just be the most authentic costume you can wear this coming Halloween or other gaming conventions where cosplays are encouraged.

Manufactured by National Entertainment Collectibles Association (NECA) — who, as we know, make equally amazing replicas of popular video games and movie products — the officially-licensed Chell orange jumpsuit is a simplistic outfit that comes complete with Aperture Science tags, white slabs along the sleeves and waist, and pockets just like Chell’s. Along with the jumpsuit, fans will also get a pair of socks worn by the character to replicate the look of her boots so you can be ready to do some science experiments. The canvas sleeves can also be cuffed or tied around the waist to best suit your frame, and is unisexual.

Not too many people look great in a jumpsuit, but perhaps you can try to be the outstanding model. Just remember, GLaDOS will still be pretty rough on you. The official Portal 2 jumpsuit is out of stock on ThinkGeek, but e-mail the manufacturers and you may just have the costume ready for Halloween if you act fast enough. The jumpsuit retails for $100, and comes in sizes XS to XXL. You can also attempt to pre-order the item at Big Bad Toy Store for the same price, or order the socks separately if you feel like making your own suit.

Although Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 reached a whopping 25 million players within five days of its launch, the shooter launched in a troubled state. It's full of bugs and controversial design choices that have pushed its community away. Since the game's release on November 16, players have expressed their disappointment with Warzone 2.0, with some community members feeling pessimistic about its future.

Fast-forward to the beginning of December 2022, and Warzone 2.0's issues seem amplified when placed next to the extraordinary Fortnite Chapter 4.

Overwatch 2: How to level up your battle pass fast

A still of Tracer in Overwatch 2.

With the switch from Overwatch to Overwatch 2, there were a lot of changes made to the game. Aside from the new content, such as heroes and game modes, the sequel's biggest change was going from a full-priced release to a free-to-play model and removal of loot boxes. These two changes alone created a massive shift in how Overwatch 2 would handle its cosmetics, new hero rollout, and progression. The system they chose to go with is the tried-and-true battle pass.

You can now customize your Xbox Elite Series 2 controller with Design Lab

A customized Xbox Elite Series 2 controller made in Design Lab.

Microsoft added the ability for people to design their own Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 in the Xbox Design Lab. Starting today, you can customize and order this kind of controller on Xbox Design Lab's website.
Customize Elite with Xbox Design Lab
Colloquially referred to as the Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller, this enhanced gamepad first released in 2019. Unlike the standard Xbox One or Xbox Series X controllers, the Elite Series 2 features adjustable-tension thumbsticks and shorter hair-trigger locks on the trigger buttons in addition to interchangeable thumbstick toppers, paddles, and d-pads. Meanwhile, the Xbox Design Lab first launched in 2016 and gives people a way to design and order Xbox controllers with customized colors and engravings.
While there was already a bit of customization with the Elite Series 2's buttons, players can now go to Xbox Design Lab and personalize the colors of the body, back case, d-pad, bumpers, triggers, thumbsticks, thumbstick base and ring, and buttons. You can even adjust the hue of the Xbox button on your controller with the Xbox Accessories App once it's in your hands. You can get the controller itself for just $150, but if you want all of the interchangeable accessories, the price jumps up to $210.
This announcement comes on the same day as the release date reveal for Sony's DualSense Edge, a customizable PS5 controller. It will cost $200 when it launches on January 26, 2023, though people will have to pay an extra $20 if they want to get replaceable stick modules. Whether you play on Xbox or PlayStation, you certainly don't have a lack of options when it comes to customizable controllers.
