Shame u didnt give it a shot, as it really is an innovative part of code. Granted, this puzzle sucked a bit, i had to try around alot too but it was well worth the effort. Fortunately you wont encounter much more of those situations as u progress in the game.
yay! go weighted companion cube! I love that thing.
they should release a special edition of portal that includes a miniature weighted companion cube, and of course a life-size weighted companion cube would also be great.
i started the game and i kinda find it ...repeated..so..my question is if it is going to change into some action? or its room after room agian and again?
(i need to shoot at lol..i like puzzles also, but puzzles with some action)
hmm portal is set in the half-life universe.
that means in theory, in half-life 2 episode 3 we could meet chell and she could give you the portal gun or something.
and just imagine it in multiplayer. it could be limited to one portal gun at a time on the whole map and you could like create portals and pop out right behind or above some other guys in deathmatch and stuff like that.
that'd be pretty cool!

Wen you play this game in the commentary mode and when you enter one of four secret rooms you will hear the future of this series , yup series so play it again and find those rooms and hear them out
* First off, backup up your entire Portal directory in a safe place. It’s the folder marked ‘portal’ in ..Steamsteamapps(your_steam_id). We, nor Valve, take any responsibility in the unlikely event of you hosing your game files. Worse comes to worse though, you could always just redownload.
* Next, download and install, if you haven’t already, GCFScape. This handy program will allow you to access the cached game files for any Source-powered game, in addition to several other Steam games you may have downloaded.
* Once that’s done, browse to the directory ..Steamsteamapps. There, you’ll see all the available GCF archives. We’ll start with Half-Life 2.
* Open the GCF marked ‘half-life 2 content.gcf’ You’ll see a directory tree in the left pane. Click the box to the left of the folder marked ‘hl2’ to see the directory listing contained within it. Then, right-click ‘maps,’ select ‘Extract’ and extract the entire folder into the directory Steamsteamapps(your_steam_id)portalportal. This will merge it with the existing Portal map folder.
* Do the same with the ’scenes’ folder
* Fire up Steam and run Portal. When it’s done doing its thing, open up the developer console with ‘~’ (you may need to enable it under your keyboard options).
* At the console, type ‘maps *’ to list all the available maps. Now that you’ve imported the Half-Life 2 maps, this will be a fairly lengthy list and some of the names, like citadel and canals, should seem familiar.
* Type ‘map’ and then the map name to open that map. For instance, ‘map d1_canals_01’
* When the map is done loading, pull up the console again and enable cheats by entering ‘sv_cheats 1’
* To give yourself all weapons, including the portal gun, enter ‘impulse 101’
* Depending on how far you got in Portal, you may need to upgrade the portal gun to fire both portals. Enter ‘upgrade_portalgun’ to do so
* Go lay waste to some alien scum with the power of portals!
Place a portal high up on the wall in the beginning of the map, place another portal on the wall with the instruction sign and step trough, now place a portal on the ground to gain momentum and fly over the water pit, turn around and place a portal on the floor above the wall next to the camera and then place a camera on the wall itself and jump trough it to reach the area above the wall. - Took a few tries for me to learn this and even more tries to complete the level fully, only two advanced maps left now.

if it was any harder, I'm sure many people would give up in frustration.
it's good they left the really hard stuff to the bonus levels so you can experience the story even if you're not a portal master.
anyway... anyone mind telling me what "fat chance" means? I've never heard it before and it makes no sense. (yeah, english is not my native language! sorry!)
