        Try shooting one portal on the roof directly above you and one right where you stand and whoops. You are freefalling.

        For those who are still trying to grapple with the dimensions it helped me a lot when I realized that you'll exit the portal AT THE SAME SPEED that you enter the entry portal. Example: You'll need to "superman" across the chasm/get on the ledge. Place the exit portal high above your self on the opposite wall facing the ledge/side you need to go. And then look for a long drop to floor where you can place the entry portal. Then jump! Just when you are about to hit the deck fire the entry portal and weeeeeeeee.... You'll exit the exit portal at the same velocity you hit the entry portal and "fly" on a ballistical trajectory to the ledge/side. Disorientation comes from the fact that you'll always land on your feet and the engine maneuvers you to make it so. Just ignore it. All you need to think about is the entry and exit speed and trajectories. In later stages you'll need to utilize the velocity factor a lot.

            Portal is fantastic!!! I have played it through 3 times since I got it on friday. The bonus levels are VERY hard.

              I bought the whole orange box, but have only downloaded TF2 and Portal yet.
              So I don't think HL2 needs to be installed.

                just played through it yesterday and it was incredible, also the commentary levels are really interesting to listen to

                Im really curious as to how they could integrate portal tech into MULTIPLAYER that will seriously be the best thing since dos.

                  Haven't ordered the Orange Box yet but I'm really looking forward to playing Portal. In the meantime I tried out Narbacular Drop, an earlier game made by the same people who worked on Portal. If portal is as good or better than NB I'm going to love it.

                  Around the 2 minute mark. I'm not sure if he's meant lands sideways like that.

                      It seems like a bug to me, since the "floor" is always the floor in Portal and it would make most of the puzzles unmeaningful if you could just run along the walls.

                      Anyway the game will just twist your mind.

                        A few lava pits, and 20 players trying to teleport each other into one .

                              Isn't that when you can use both blue and orange portal? (in and out)

                                Do you only have the blue portal yet?
                                In one of the first levels there will be one mounted in the floor, shooting yellow portals in random direction.
                                When that is picked up your portal-o-matic will be upgraded.

                                You need it to proceed on that level, so you cant have missed it :)
