33 cameras.

Also, I think you have to get the awards playing the full game, not just loading a map after you complete.

Also, I've left my chell falling through a recursive loop for a good long time, didnt get the freefall thing, it was a few minutes on l18, with that really long drop to build speed for the platform slinging/climbing thing you do.

hmm, maybe I did that in commentary mode, shit.

33 cameras, I count 30 from the normal levels. As a test I got one to count on the advanced level, but it wasn't the same game, so the counter was reset.

I haven't got free-fall either, I think because I hit the edge each time, maybe I'll try it creating a new portal each drop.

Cameras. Damn, they don't stick in the advanced levels, so I think you have to blast them off the portal-proof walls in the WCC level or something.

Post by **Dr. kitteny berk** » October 14th, 2007, 23:21

maybe the few that are missing are from before you got the portal gun?

just a thought.

Post by **FatherJack** » October 14th, 2007, 23:36

Maybe, I can certainly recall one or two from that time.

(Edit: there are four, so that's not it, but three on portal-proof walls on the WCC level)

Got terminal velocity (free fall) in the end, on AL14, decent drop, lined-up portals and went for a piss.

Disturbingly similar to how I got mine.

I'm having touble getting the camera one to work, it's b0rked apparently, maybe thats what that little update was about.

Also, it may feel better to everyone to have as long a drop as possible, but that leads to a higher chance of bashing into the edge and stopping, you will (obviously) reach terminal velocity with 2 portals very close together, eg a roof and floor in any old corridor.

Also, we need a blue and orange portal emoticon.

Are you still there?

It's great how they want to swiss cheese you, but act like small robot children who've lost a friend.

Where are you taking me?

I also liked the curious ball at the end:

"What's wrong with your legs? Can you smell burning?"

Pfft, read posts 34 through 38.

Some people just don't get jokes.

I burned mine, and I was glad, the thing tried to back-stab me and put me down the incineration tube.

Am I alone in thinking that the weight of the weighted companion cube was provided by the twisted corpse of a fellow test subject stuffed into it?

errr... i do believe so.

That may explain why I never formed the bond that many others seem to have with the cube.

Not now! I wouldn't put anything past that crazy GLaDOS.
