Portal 2 puzzles
Monday, February 11th, 2013 11:00Here's another thing I've been doing: designing Portal 2 puzzles.
The Cube Goes in the Other Pit
I’m probably going to keep doing this (as the inspiration strikes) — all feedback welcome!
Portal (on a Mac)
Tuesday, February 5th, 2008 10:18I found out that you can play Portal on a Mac without installing Windows using CrossOver Mac. Yay.
(2010 update: Of course, these days we can run Portal (and Steam, TF2, ...) on Mac. And the visual glitches mentioned have all been fixed in newer versions of Portal and CrossOver, too.)
( Glitch and workaround... )Portal is great.
I especially liked the moments of stare at layout baffled ... OH! ... portal-portal-portal-ding!
A bit of advice: Don't go on YouTube and watch a bunch of videos. There are only 19 levels (25 if you count the advanced maps, which are modifications of 6 of the regular ones), and having several of them spoiled was a bit disappointing.
I haven't tried any third-party maps. (Got recommendations?)
Oh, and one tip: when bouncing through a pair of floor portals and trying to aim at something, be looking straight up or down when you pass through the portal — that way, the game won't reorient you while you're trying to aim.
