Ruining It For Everyone Else Since 2004
Wandering around inside of an imaginary brain made me think that it’s been awhile since I’ve properly teased my brain. I managed to complete a test chamber tonight! Now I have a whole new chamber to ponder over!
I might try this again tomorrow – mayhaps a little sleep will give me time to think about it. It’d be cool if I could solve this in my sleep.
Defeated another test chamber! Now I’ve gone to Test Chamber 11! I pretty much understand what I have to do, but executing it is a whole other story.
Finally made it far enough into Portal Reloaded to wield the Time Portal! It took a lot of banging my head against the wall, but I finally figured out the 8th test chamber – thinking with Time Portals plus regular ones takes some getting used to.
I’ve left off at the 10th chamber tonight. It involves momentum, getting a cube to a platform, and my brain is too tired to process it more. Ever look at a puzzle and think the answer is right in front of you, but you can’t see it? That tells me it’s time to sleep, and come back to this after a few sleep cycles, and a variety of other games from yonder collection.
Today at lunch I decided to revisit Portal Reloaded! If you’ve never played it – Portal Reloaded is a free mod that owners of Portal 2 can download via Steam! It’s a Portal game with a twist, you have your two typical portals, and a third Portal to take you back and forth between the Present and the Future.
I didn’t get as far as I wanted to, but now that I have it moving forward on Deck I might be able to finish it!
I checked out Portal Reloaded this evening. It adds a whole new dimension to the game, or rather two. Aside from the traditional orange and blue portals you can also utilize a third green portal that allows you to travel between the present and the future. You can move a cube in the present, walk through the time portal, and find that the cube is where you left it. It’s really quite trippy, imagine your past actions having an impact in the future, and immediately accessible through a time portal!
If you like Portal or Portal 2 I’d give this a try. I’m only on test chamber 4 so far, and I can already tell my brain cells are going to be in for a ride! 😛
