Portal! Portal! Portal!

[feyr]

i'm stuck in the second part of chamber 15 and its driving me insane

i guess i am meant to shoot a portal in to the sticking out bit of wall, then another in the floor then jump through it then back in to the floor portal to propell over the barrier but i keep landing short

am playing on pc, if that makes any difference

You can try shooting a new portal directly beneath you as you land. I.e: shoot the orange in the wall. Shoot blue in the floor and jump in it. Just before you hit the ground, shoot the blue portal into the floor beneath you, and you'll have extra momentum when you fly out of the wall.

yep, remember you don' thave to be standing still to fire the portal gun.

have been trying to fire as i fall but have been aimin on the checkered bit as opposed to the solid bit you can shoot portals into. but i always land on the solid bit. the firdt 14 levels took me just over an hour. the other 3 hours of play have been spend on this sodding bit

Best way to do it is to shoot the floor just before you hit rather than shooting mid air then trying to manoeuvre into the portal. Shoot the moment before you hit and you should go through no problem, not as hard as it sounds.

Edit - oh wait.. just read your post. Dunno then, you tube a solution if your really stuck.

from the walkthrough " Place blue portal on checkerboard tiled flooring below. Jump through blue portal. As you come out of the orange portal aim for the blue portal and enter it a second time. This will take you across the barrier."

this is what i have been trying to do but cant reach the blue portal after jumping through the orange portal. its driving me crazy

youtube it then

Try setting your orange portal a bit lower? Or higher.

oh!

I remember this one

there's a little room to the side, with a pit in it. you fall down the pit in order to get enough speed up to come out of the high portal fast enough to clear the barrier


careful not to get carried away with youtube on this, as it will almost certainly spoil the game for you

You weren't thinking with portals! Speedy thing goes in, speedy things comes out.

that one was the first level that bugged me

as it wasn't about logic but reaction time... and i'm a bit slow

 

[feyr]

due to fact that my laptop has slowly decided to start dying on me, making any game hideously slow and rubbish, i bought portal on the xbox aswell

just got up to the part i was stuck in and got over the barrier first time, so it think it was just an issue of response times hindered by dying laptop

my irritating 7 year old has already completed it and keeps singing the credit song at me, and has decided to speak mainly in GlaDos type phrases

Haven't quite got it when I've had a go, but have enjoyed watching others play it. Very good.

why did I not buy portal upon its release, one of the best stoner gamers

One of the best games.

The sequel is really shaping up too - two-player co-op and the ability to "paint" surfaces with property-changing goo.

I can't fucking wait.

Most of the meat of actual gameplay is in the second video - When they start messing with the fields and the gels I confess; I got a little aroused.
