I was talking with a physics wizz about this sort of thing years before it came out, actually D&D was the medium of choice, and his conclusion was that if you had a set up like this, whatever was going through the two portals would perpetually gain inertia to the point of burning up just in normal oxygen through friction alone!

either that or cause a Hiroshima sized explosion.

...

...AWESOME! :D

yeah. His character had that set up sealed in a transparent cubed....and used it as a paper weight. His justification was, "The only thing more powerful than an enchanted audit is the power to scar a continent"

This is one physical law I can't explain..

i've been playing the flash version and having to take breaks to return to normal spatial thinking >.>

True confession time: That's the only version of Portal I've played o_o

Same here. My computer *should* meet the system specs, I just haven't gotten around to actually buying the game yet- I've had other things higher on my priority list, and prices tend to drop after the winter holidays anyway...

All that and I still get all the "the cake is a lie" references. It's a sign of a well-written game if it can wedge itself into geekular culture (not quite popular culture, yet) references so immediately and thoroughly. Or a catastrophically bad one (all your base are belong to us), but that's not the case here, and catastrophically bad can be just as good anyway.

Ditto here on the "actual" Portal game thing - same reasons, too. Amusingly enough I've been told by a couple of folks who HAVE played it that the Flash version is actually *harder* in comparison to the real one, puzzle-wise O_o

To the other thing? Daaaaang right.

Unless you're doing the challenge missions...

and looks like someone's going for the terminal velocity accomplishment!

I was talking with some classmates who had never seen any Star Wars films about how some media gets so ingrained into our cultures and subcultures that we can recognize references to it even when we haven't seen the original. Plenty of people will use Sherlock Holmes references in cartoons and TV, but how many people have read enough to know that he was a cocaine addict?

LOL WHEEEEEEEE
>HUGS<
