Portal but I softlock myself on every chamber

[@SlovvMotion453]

Another Fun Fact: If you are careful with your portal placements you can softlock the final cutscene. You can get in to the cake room and place the companion cube on the cake, and then with careful moves you can portal back to the level and beat GLaDOS. When the cutscene plays, the cube is on the cake, and when the claw comes down it gets stuck on the cube. The game is programmed not to run credits unless the claw can put the candle out, which it can't.

​@@Yuni-is-Schrodingers-Fox On the contrary, I think it was a fair and reasonable move even if he was wrong. Being a streamer and managing hundreds or thousands of people in chat while competently playing a game and being entertaining for hours on end is really hard. If you're trying to get information and a small number of people are spamming a seemingly wrong answer that you already tried, a few well placed timeouts can cut down on the visual clutter dramatically. Banning or verbally harassing the user would have been a dick move, but a brief timeout let him stay on task and figure out the situation. This video edits out the thousand other times that someone kept repeating the same bad advice that really was wrong, which led him to waste time attempting something that couldn't work. Streamers have to deal with that kind of situation dozens of times per stream. It sucks for both the streamer and the audience when they get "one-guy'ed" and some actions need to be taken to minimize it. The moment he realized that wasn't the case here, he made it right and even compensated that person/people with a $5 sub.

Since the only way to get up to where the orange portal is is to use a portal, and there's no way to open the door while you're up on the platform, there's no way for you to walk or portal through the door in a way that can help you solve the chamber!

14:34 - You can softlock yourself in this room. There is an invisible gap between the two windows on the corner. By shooting a portal there, you can get into the observation room. You need to put two portals inside it. You will not be able to get the portal into the gap from the inside

[@Genny207]

29:00. Dude somehow turned portal into Ratchet and Clank XD

[@ERICBALYBERDIN-h2z]

Companion cube. Small ant: no Companion wrench. Small ant: yes

[@Xialdin]

I love how this went from play portal to softlock portal to softlock/skip portal to save cube to save the wrench XD

[@LeoDetective]

Another another Fun fact: Beta Testers of Portal skipped test chambers just by jumping on rails, so Valve desided to remove the collision, and also changed the design so it wouldn't be so obvious that you can walk on them

[@byzantine5761]

3:17 Yeah, in this room you have to be smart enough to softlock yourself instead of dumb enough

[@rtyuik7]

softlocking yourself is such a dumb move that it loops around to requiring smart gameplay

[@RadTroppy]

Friendship with Companion Cube ended, Wrench is now my buddy

[@coffee_beanie87]

Man actually out here testing. For science.

[@Sef_Era]

Aww, you didn’t do the last soft lock. If you put the companion cube on top of the cake, then the robot arm can’t snuf out the candle, and it soft locks the game, after the credits.

[@Mcblocky0]

He found some of the speedrun strats by accident lmao

[@Akay4444444444444444]

Running through enemies with a wrench in that turret fight like this is Ratchet & Clank

This brought me back to the good old days of KZbin, back when there was good new Portal content every month.

[@emre_ez]

in portal 2, most cube droppers operate with buttons which prevents this

[@konas937]

8:01 oh a cube I wonder if I could softlock myself Lmao I love smant

[@Stahlwollvieh]

21:20 SmallAnt trying to avoid euthanising his companion cube while euthanising a million cubes in parallel universes he proceeds to leave after failing again and again. Think about it.

[@TwiliPaladin]

5:32 90% sure that one was a bug. Something about that spot triggers that line while you're holding a camera. The line is actually not supposed to play until much later in the game.

[@Danpg79]

Nope, that's the softlock dialogye

[@Thebest6790_yt]

25:01 I got stuck there for like half an hour, I didn't know you could open doors with E

[@yus527_]
