Laser Machine Plays Portal’s “Still Alive” by Etching Metal

Though Portal 2 released quite a while ago with a couple of its own new, catchy songs, the original Portal’s “Still Alive” by Jonathan Coulton is, ahem, still alive and kickin’. We’ve seen it played by a quartet of floppy drives, and while that was mightily impressive, this rendition by Chris DePrisco, played by a laser etching the Aperture logo into metal, is nothing short of incredible. Check out the video below.
