Protect your flimsy human body in Portal 2 boots seen in this new trailer

It is a cautionary tale. There you are, flying through the air, firing off portal after portal to take you to new and awesome locations that you couldn’t otherwise reach. But then you find yourself out of portals and you plummet to your death. It might happen to you too. The good news is that is can only happen once. Of course you will die horribly, but that is just details.

But there is an option thanks to the fine people at Aperture Labs who want you to live (at least as long as you are making your payments on time). So for those high flyers that don’t want to break every bone in their bodies, Aperture is proud to introduce its new long fall boot.

These boots can absorb an impact like nobody’s business. And sure, they may not be cheap, but they will keep you alive long enough to complain about it.

This marks the fourth Aperture Investment video. The first was kind enough to offer a new way to look at panels, while the second wanted you to consider putting your trust in robots, and not those frail human types. The third is all about security, and offers you something no home should be without—an AI-controlled turret.

Join Aperture in the Labs during Portal 2 on Mac, PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 on April 19.

PlayStation 6: release date speculation, price, specs, and more
sony reveals customizable ps5 dualsense edge controller front and back

In a recent quote, Sony Senior Vice President Naomi Matsuoka said: "Looking ahead, PS5 will enter the latter stage of its life cycle." Many in the industry took that to mean that we may be hearing about the next PlayStation console sooner rather than later.

Considering Sony has yet to break its naming convention, it feels safe to assume whatever future home console we get will be called the PlayStation 6. But not only has the name not been officially confirmed, but neither has the idea of a next-generation PlayStation console or even a PS5 Pro. It's almost a guarantee, but technically nothing is set in stone. Rumors and potential leaks have already started stirring up excitement, so let's see what the future of PlayStation may look like according to the rumors.
