Story update status Chapter four of Beginnings is up. Go to the main page to read my other stories. End update -------------
Let me start off by saying this: I hate first person shooters. Hate! Hate! Hate! I've played Duke Nukem, Unreal Tournament, Halo and Halo 2 and I sucked at each and every one of them. I hate not being able to see my surroundings unless I turn the entire camera and my inability to see around me would get me killed.
But then....Portal. My job is not to shoot things, but to shoot holes. And yeah sure, I've gotten nailed a few times, but it was a course meant for androids anyway! D:
I've gotten to room 19 twice now and beaten it once. (Damnit GLaDOS, humans don't go in cake!) The game is hard mostly because you have to think spatially a lot in order to figure out how to make everything work, especially when you have to shoot off several portals in a hurry. And hell, I'm not even done yet. I still have to run through the bowels of the facility and meet up with the homicidal AI! ¬_¬
Hey Ebby, if you really want a mindfuck, go to YouTube and search for "Portal speed run" and find the video (in two parts, around 8-9 mins each) of the guy who finished the entire game in roughly 18 mins.
I must have spent 3 hours just copying the stuff he did in most of the puzzle rooms. It's freaking insane.
Well....that's just special. >_> Obviously this bloke practiced. Me, my greatest joy was in commentary mode where one of the designer guys mentioned that some of the testers cheated and skipped an entire test room, but because it apparently took a great amount of effort to pull it off, they left the potential in....and I found a really easy way to do it.
