Easy way to get the Schrödinger's Catch achievement if you are desperate. [sp]as soon as it starts bouncing in the glass cube put water on it and it will stop. The glass breaking is just scripted so it will still break even if the block isn't moving. After the glass breaks just pick it up[/sp]
[QUOTE=Tacosheller;29308095]Also: [sp]why did I see NO diversity vents in the singleplayer?[/sp][/QUOTE] It wans't really that special, only thing it did was sucking
[QUOTE=iLife_Aftermath;29308118]It wans't really that special, only thing it did was sucking[/QUOTE] Hey, sucking can be a very special moment. Two people can suck, and they can share that same moment, too. Hell, if they're close enough they can even suck eachother! Moving around those tubes, maybe even moving the shaft! Who knows what might come out!
Maybe it's just us, but the co-op is INSANELY difficult for me and my friend. I never want to do some of the test chambers in the excursion funnel course ever again.
Holy shit, Portal 2 installs in the /common/ folder instead of the /(username)/ folder. A VALVE GAME THAT DOESN'T INSTALL TO THE /USERNAME/ FOLDER? IT'S THE APOCALYPSE :byodood:

[QUOTE=Dachande;29308200]L4D2 did this aswell.[/QUOTE] DOUBLE-:byodood: IN THAT CASE
[QUOTE=Tacosheller;29308095]Also: [sp]why did I see NO diversity vents in the singleplayer?[/sp][/QUOTE] The only actual use they had was to clean out turrets. So they were useless. Hence why they were cut.

I know how to beat it. But I suck at describing it. Sorry.
One thing I loved was [sp]GLaDOS' constant fat jokes about Chell in the second set of chambers. I found them especially hilarious for some reason.[/sp]

Then use the Excursion Tunnels to move the gel on to the ramp.

[sp] You have to get the gel to make a track up to and on the ramp, and then you catch yourself by tossing a portal on the wall opposite the exit, with the second portal leading into the excursion asbestos tunnel thing generator so it catches you and brings you across.[/sp] Sorry if that was a jumbled-up mess.
[QUOTE=SpartanApples;29307770]Regarding GCFScape to have a ponder around in the game files, are all you guys on an updated version? Because I can't access pak01_dir.vpk, I keep getting 'NCF files are indexes and do not contain any file data'.[/QUOTE] So, any ideas? I'm not desperate for an answer, but it'd help.
Oh, and I found the [sp]hermit-crab sentry cube things[/sp] just adorable.
[QUOTE=Dehodson;29308297]One thing I loved was [sp]GLaDOS' constant fat jokes about Chell in the second set of chambers. I found them especially hilarious for some reason.[/sp][/QUOTE] What part are you up to? Be careful of these then [sp]later, wheatly calls chell fat, and then glados is like She's not fat! and defends you for being an orphan, too. I guess it comes with the job :v:[/sp]
[QUOTE=Tacosheller;29308338]Oh, and I found the [sp]hermit-crab sentry cube things[/sp] just adorable.[/QUOTE] They were cute, but I got pissed whenever one started [sp]trying to run away and I'd have to pick them up and put them back down to make them stop moving.[/sp]
[QUOTE=Tacosheller;29308338]Oh, and I found the [sp]hermit-crab sentry cube things[/sp] just adorable.[/QUOTE] I found them to be just, wretched. I felt like they were a cruel creation, and it broke my heart every time I saw one.
[QUOTE=Doomish;29308220]DOUBLE-:byodood: IN THAT CASE[/QUOTE] So did L4D1. I hope the sucky vents will still be in the SDK at least.
Anyone need a co-op buddy? :(
[QUOTE=Meatpuppet;29308372]Anyone need a co-op buddy? :([/QUOTE] Maybe after my brother and I play through the co-op later this week. :buddy:
But I want to do it tonight :(
[QUOTE=Meatpuppet;29308400]But I want to do it tonight :([/QUOTE] I have been everyone's buddy today. I'll be yours, too.
[QUOTE=Pavarotti;29306242]Speaking of that bit, am I the only one who [sp]doesn't really like the idea that a portal gun or "handheld quantum tunneling device" was built back in the 60s or whenever it was? A lot of that section of the game spoiled a lot of conceptions I had made about Aperture Science.[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]Didn't Cave say something about keeping the technology secret until they knew it worked perfectly and that the world was ready for it? Maybe the tech existed for a long time, but was extremely dangerous and clunky and not something they wanted to reveal to the world just yet.[/sp]
[sp]There was a room with two lasers and a song that played on a radio near by. I look in the music folder but couldn't find it. Anyone else got it?[/sp] What a cool game btw.
[QUOTE=Giraffen93;29306268]Really? I swear i saw a poster about it, with paradoxes n shit.[/QUOTE] It's also mentioned that the Emancipation Grid can emancipate things like teeth and ears, but neither of those appear happen, especially not ears since we never lose our hearing.
anybody have the console commands for this game?
