I figured out a way to beat the 17th test chamber in Portal without doing any of the puzzles so I decided to make a video out of it.

Here it is:

There are no plot spoilers but the puzzle might be spoiled if you haven't played it before.  Watch at your own risk. :>

Just a wee bit.

After all the hell that Source's physics engine put me through (launching me through portals that I merely walked through, slinging me into the path of very massive pistons, throwing me off of platforms into sludge for no damn reason, etc) it was nice to be able to use it to my advantage. :)

Part of orange box. Can't be bought individually, at least not yet. Also are you supposed to get back into that area with all the writing and candles? Looks like something you should see.

It's sort of a not-very-well-hidden secret -- a resting area from the previous test subject.  It's meant to give the player the element of doubt.

I already have steam, but I already bought it lol. Once I typed "heading to EB to buy it right now" I left that second, and went and bought it...Installing now.

I know, isn't it? :D  It's short (I only spent a couple of hours on it my first time through) but it's the best few hours I've spent on a game in a while.

Yeah I noticed...I just beat it 20 minutes ago (just got finished eating) and i've done 2 of the advanced rooms so far....so all in conclusion it took me....about 2:30-3 hours to finish.
Wish it was longer though :(
