The majority seem to have used the chair/random object rather than the portal method.

I'm sure that says something like</strike> we're simple <strike>and like building or something.

Too simple perhaps? If something is too high for you, try looking up :D

Now you're thinking with <strike>portals</strike> chairs.

Not quite got the same ring to it.

I also used the chair method

Finished this tonight, loved it. Also used the proper rocket up through the floor bit to hit a cube tube. Hurrah! 18 had me really scratching my head, 19 just came naturally (loved the bit with the turrets).

Heh, I introduced my visiting cousin to the joys of Portal.

[Beginning of a test]
"So what's the deal with this companion cube? It's just a cube, right? I doesn't speak or anything?"

[Later]
"Oh yeah, I need to bring the cube don't I. Heeere cubey, cubey, cubey.... oh wow. It does get to you, doesn't it?"

You're clearly missing sound files, try a defrag

Remember when you used to be able to get half a game of Beef to leave by typing in the main chat that Alt and F4 gave you a free promotion.

And the great thing is, the Internet supplies a continual supply of people who will fall for this.
Sometimes more than once.

Hehehe, someone types it in the chat, and all of a sudden 5-6 people disconnect, then they come back, but don't say anything, because they KNEW they'd been a fucktard.

Also, this guy right here needs killing by complaining about portal, he damns it with mediocrity, the utter cupcake.

i fell back on this after my cunning portal-on-the-floor-jump-into-other-portal-from-high-up plan fell flat on its face. entertainingly, i solved the final room by standing on the railing between the gun and GLaDOS instead of the more sensible actually-using-portals method.

still, this game is full of bacon flavoured win, best gaming 3 hours ive ever spent, and worth the price of the orange box on its own.

would anyone like my spare HL2?

Yays cameras!

I made a video of where they all are: http://files.fatherjack.net/portalcamsmall2.avi (39M, 7min)

Obviously don't watch if you don't want spoilers as it shows stuff right through to L19.

I was going to set it to music, but I kind of like it with the in-game sounds. Maybe I'll add a counter or something if it's not clear where they all are, but I tried to show each level number and the basic route to get to the buggers.

Weird, didn't play right in winamp or mpc. but VLC is fine, so there.

Stoat · Post by **Stoat** » October 23rd, 2007, 22:55

I'm not even sure which of those I missed. I'll have to give it another go.

edit: worked for me in MPC with CCCP.

The numbers I posted on the disco board pretty much nailed it for me, although I don't know how I managed to miss three of them on three separate runs - I can't think of a single one I hadn't noticed before. 2 and 11 seem to catch most out, but I know I got those before. Perhaps I'd died and the auto-reload put a camera back, as this was a bona-fide single run.

Vid is XviD with MP3 sound, did only test in VLC, narf.

I've found all but one

will have to give it another go
