Great job on this level! Thank you for the A-ha! moment.

in my case he's called the "youtube poop" core :)

Nice ,thanks.

Very interesting! Thanks!

Lol you must be the first to even take interest or find it. It was trying to be a news information core who is also keen on youtube poop (well it's me ported over to a core actually) There's 11 possible bits that he gives bullshit information like:

Only Link can activate the aperture science vacuum transportation system, or else you will die. If you are a science officer masquerading as link, plese show your credentials such as : a piece of the triforce, your mirror shield and your sword.

Well, you get it i think. It's pure bullshit but it was nice to do.

I've come back to reminisce the most interesting pieces of this series. What I find interesting about this test is its Easter egg: the "news/information" core...how many news items are there (I'm guessing somewhere around 8)? .
CosmicD  [author] Oct 19, 2013 @ 2:06am 
normally you should be able to shoot a protal trough the grated material and on the ground so you can escape that chamber :) For that reason there's a portal surface just behind the button in the level
The Sojourner Oct 18, 2013 @ 9:09pm 
Excellent...and seemingly difficult (a tad confusing, really)! One small complaint is that the player can get trapped with the deadly laser and have to manually kill themself, which kinda ruins the natural, progressive feel that you worked hard to preserve.

awesome puzzle!:)

Again great work, everything was going real smooth till I got to the end, then I had a brain freeze. After a beer break it all came to me.. Thanks for a well made map.

i found it a bit....boring. to simple i guess. good design though i just found the over all puzzle not very interesting
Pilchardo Feb 23, 2013 @ 4:18pm 
As ever, I loved the design of this chamber. A relatively small space but so visually interesting. The puzzle worked well too. Love it!
Alchemist's Fire Feb 3, 2013 @ 12:07am 
Oh really? Awesome, I'll have to keep my eye open for it. I wanna vacuum up turrets xD I watched the Portal2 preview vids again the other day, and I want the Pneumatic Diversity Vent so bad
CosmicD  [author] Jan 27, 2013 @ 9:49pm 
the finale map will make heavy use of it. It was a proof of concept and an answer to valve who said diversity vents were kinda useless ingame :)
Alchemist's Fire Jan 27, 2013 @ 3:18pm 
This was awesome! It was so nice to see the Pneumatic Diversity Vent. Great chamber!

very nice map-pack - good fun to play.
Nice puzzles with good use of the game elements.
Great work! Thanks for mapping! =)

Please try one of mine and comment! Thanks.

Rick said something to me but I didn't understand any of it.

Good Test Chamber, how did you do the walls and other particular things that seems to not appear in the creation module...?

Could you guys try mine...? Here they are:

now that was awesome.. thanks
Redcow Jan 14, 2013 @ 7:24pm 
that was awesome. It took me forever to figure out I needed to get rid of my portals to get that ball up to the top though.
AceHeavenX Jan 14, 2013 @ 12:31pm 
haha, cool map.
I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS
Please euthanise your weighted storage ball^^
CaptainChubbyDuck Jan 14, 2013 @ 10:18am 
I cannot find any levels / puzzles anymore.

It just says "no items found under your criteria" How the hell doI do? I haven't even typed in anything in the search bar, and no level appear even if I press most recent, and top rated or anything! HELP PLZ!
CosmicD  [author] Jan 14, 2013 @ 12:07am 
That cube is supposed to be an easter egg, hes supposed to say something to the players if you look directly at him but I have to do another version of the map to fix this.
BabyCharmander Jan 13, 2013 @ 7:18pm 
This was a really fun one! Not too hard or frustrating but still made me think. Also, what's Rick doing there...? Just an Easter egg?
Sdather Jan 13, 2013 @ 1:34pm 
CosmicD, I really enjoy this map. Also I made a blind run video on my YouTube channel if you desire to add it in this page. Feel free to ask if you want to and keep up the great work. ;)
Hrafn Jan 13, 2013 @ 1:22pm 
Took me a while to see what triggered what. Had fun!
CosmicD  [author] Jan 13, 2013 @ 12:23pm 
thats funny, It's not intended that you can pick up that core though. I should redo some of the brushwork there to make that impossible :) (changing the exit trigger from !activator to the specific name of the core would be a bit cheap and confuse players who would use that "exploit" anyway. I will fix that soon.
Syy Jan 13, 2013 @ 11:33am 
Hey I'm fairly certain this isn't the way you inteded the chamber to be beaten by, so I figured I'd post about how I solved it.

After trying to think about ways to get my shpere past the emancipation grid near the exit, I saw Rick the adventure sphere in the wall where you bounce up to the exit. I manuvered my way over to him, and found that you could pick him up through the glass, and take him with you. At which point, a niggling little suspicion appeared. You never once emancipate a Personality Sphere in the game, so maybe Valve didn't make Personality Sphere's emancipateible. Sure enough, you can take him right on through, and use him instead of the sphere cube to open the door.

Figured you might want to fix that. Thanks for the awesome puzzles! :D

This i did like.Well done.
AdxAdrenix Jan 13, 2013 @ 1:56am 
Nice map, I liked it. Not too terribly challenging, but a good map none the less
Ginger Beef Jan 12, 2013 @ 5:09pm 
nice
ZAEROS Jan 11, 2013 @ 3:52am 
Dont know how I turned off the top screen but once I did could see the answer.Found this hard but a lot of fun Thank you.
CosmicD  [author] Jan 11, 2013 @ 1:33am 
Yes, that was a constant thing on my mind when I finished the design. But i figured i'd place a light source there. And because the map is so small I thought it wouldn't be such a problem.

However I was thinking, It might be cool that I place a glass wall there so that you can see the portal surface from further away.
Bowsakirby Jan 10, 2013 @ 8:25pm 
I had a small issue locating the portal surface by the final exit door but, once i ruled out all possibilities and investigated a little, I found it ^-^

Oh. Crap. Thanks.
CosmicD  [author] Jan 10, 2013 @ 12:45pm 
updated graphic mistake and some other stuff
CosmicD  [author] Jan 9, 2013 @ 10:54pm 
This is a map that's not made with the puzzle editor but handmade in hammer. (the source editor). It's made to work with the workshop by also manually including the needed component and the publishing tool allows us to include any screenshot we want.

With the puzzle editor that happens automaticly and always the blueprint is being added.
COPY CANCEL Jan 9, 2013 @ 5:24pm 
How do you post the screenshot in-game like that and not one of those blueprints?
h4r4ld Jan 9, 2013 @ 9:17am 
Awsome, as the last tests, can't wait for more :D
