"The Ol' Pigskin" | Perpetual Testing

[@TheMagmaKnigh]

You could have just walked through the fizzler in the room the cube spawns in, to get the ball, in the first part of the map. You didn't have to get it to perfectly roll down the hallway

[@ngeruma]

Yeah i could of just popped through the door in the little cube spawn room, but where's the fun in that? ;) Maxdragonn is a really good map maker and clearly put in that option so players could do it however they wanted or for when they got fed up of trying to get the ball to cooperate. Thanks for watching and sorry for taking so long to reply :)

[14:22] Thanks for the shout out ngeruma, that was very kind. [30:17] I'm pretty sure that panel at the exit is anti-trap if you got over there w/o the Piggie Cool vid, keep up the good work!

[@ngeruma]

Hey TCJ! hope your doing well! sorry for the very late reply, this is my first chance to get to comments in a while. no worries about the shout out, and i genuinely meant what i said too, i forgot to add a channel link screen card thing at the time but i'll add it now and in the comments too :) Also i recognised this chamber in the thumbnail of your most popular of the week video, it looks like this map shot right up in the rankings on the workshop really quickly. Thanks for watching dude, i really do appreciated it :)

[@Splatatat]

Thank you so much for playing the map I suggested! The second I finished playing it for myself I knew I had to submit it to you cause this is the exact type of map you would play. Glad you enjoyed playing it!!

[@ngeruma]

Thank you so much for recommending this one, very cool map, and fun to play, plus i love anything new and unusual like this. Much appreciated dude, and sorry for taking so long to reply

0:59 - It's in the campaign, in the intro to repulsion gel :P 7:55 - 😳 9:20 - Funnily enough, I did get it to go around the corner by accident when I played it 14:23 - Interestingly, I _just_ recently discovered his content! 18:57 - Nice catch! 🙏 20:15 - No, Mr. Ngeruma, the water isn't bloody... yet 22:32 - So close to a safe landing! 25:55 - Ba-doink, ba-doink, ba-dunk? 29:36 - Teeny tiny lil' ballerina feet 🤏 30:46 - Reminds me of CaptainDisillusion, in his CD/Color video, going "Saturate!!! Saturate!!!" As promised, played the map then watched the video. Great one at that!

[@ngeruma]

0:59 it is? my bad, it's been years since i touched the campaign though lol 9:20 i shall call you HugoBDesigner - "Ball Whisperer" :) 14:23 The Test Chamber Junkie has a huge backlog of videos, and unlike me can actually offer useful critiques on maps. 25:55 that would be the technical term for what happened there. 29:36 lol that explains it 30:46 lol Glad your still enjoying these and that you found Test Chamber Junkie too! As always, thanks for watching and the comments, always enjoy them :D

0:59 it is actually a new texture, the one in the main campaign says you're in Test Shaft 09, this one says 07.

30:57 I actually have "kill" bound to a key on my keyboard for that exact quote.

[@ngeruma]

That's probably the best way to outsmart Aperture to be honest, can't kill you if you do it yourself :D Thanks for watching

[@sammyjpeg8322]

I like how he brute force the solution to get the ball on the other side of the fizzler

[@ngeruma]

Yeah, i know there was the easier way to do it but i feel like the corridor was like that just so players could try and get the ball to cooperate :) Thank you for watching and sorry for taking so long to reply :)

Only 2 minutes to get the ball to roll like that is pretty impressive. Time well spent for style points haha

[@ngeruma]

Hey dude, sorry for taking so long to reply. I mean the little corridor was there for that reason right? lol, comments suggest not using the door in the cube spawn room was annoying to a fair few people :) Thanks for watching dude!

[@stacksmasherninja7266]

#ngerumaForMrTestChamber1956 #ngerumaSupremacy Very surprised ar the second death, I wouldn't have expected a death there. Nice, fun, small, easier chamber. Excellent hammer work though

[@ngeruma]

Thank you, your vote is very much appreciated! i just barely missed that little ledge, slightly too far off the right too. The second attempt i held W the whole way through the air :) And yeah, i agree beautiful looking hammer work with this one too. Sorry for taking so long to reply and thanks as always for watching!

[@evely_one]

Pfft haha that spitting sound at the beginning is exactly what I expected in terms of American Football jokes from you. If Downton Abbey is supposed to be an accurate representation of the UK, then I'm claiming the Beverly Hillbillies as a perfect representation of America. What is the Beverly Hillbillies you may be asking? Well, its an old television show from the times of yore about an old farmer man and his family discovering black gold (oil) and becoming filthy rich. These self proclaimed hillbillies move to beverly hills, which I believe is in Los Angeles(?) Anyways, they buy a mansion and live out their lives as southern hillbillies with gold teeth but now in the fancy, boujie part of America. Basically, the entire show's episodes revolve around that concept. The character design is just gold, they look very out of place in a mansion with red carpets and spiral staircases. (Old farmer man with pitchfork, stubborn grandma with shotgun, blonde horse girl, etc) Cool map though. A solid map. I do really enjoy seeing that entire chamber off to the side which seems to have crashed and fallen into the sphere wall. Being below the main chamber and seeing the expanse above does give you a good sense of verticality too, bravo Maxdragonn. edit: YES! THATS IT! THATS THE WORD! A GRIZZLED PROSPECTOR! Thank you. Thank you for saying that.

[@ngeruma]

I guess you could call downton abbey a representation of the uk, one of a long time ago anyway, a more accurate modern day representation of the UK would be defecating into a teapot of worms, but downton abbey is very much a time some parts of uk society would like to return to I find it kind of charming you felt you needed to explain the beverly hillbillies to me ;) i may be a bit older than you think i am lol Agree though, this was a great looking map, and the whole extra wrecked chambers off to the side works perfectly for science sphere maps style like this. I did check in there after with noclip, but there was no easter eggs As always, thanks for watching dude!

[@Bit-fz9md]

Wow, what are the chances that I played this map 1 day before you uploaded this. Lol

Lil' funny sphere of the old pigskin, speaking of which, if thats the old pigskin... doesn't that mean the edgless safety cube is the new pigskin?

Kind of but this one actually has a leathery 'skin' texture. Whereas the new one has those nasty edges removed for our safety :D

[@whytoexist9954]

@@ngeruma so the old pigskin has actual skin of pigs just painted?

[@ngeruma]

Yeah the texture used on it looks like it's actual leathery skin like an old football, it has a little air valve sticking out of it too like it might be inflated, it behaves like a regular edgeless safety cube though. I saw you sent some maps, I'll add them to the list tomorrow : )

"Wife Material" by Sunny OST: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJKng6eom9V-oKs easily one of the coolest easter egg/surprises i've seen in a community map so far, really nice puzzle and hammer work too. Sorry for the late reply dude :)

The ß in Fußball is actually an S. German has many weird things about grammar we don't use just 1 word like the, we use 6 different ones which each has rules on how and why you use them.

[@ngeruma]

that's interesting so German is a much more context driven language, that's a lot more practical than english we have so many cases of the same word being used in many ways and so many weird little spellings to change them. Thank you for watching and for commenting too :D

[@NobodyThatsIt]

@@ngeruma Yeah, I think it's weird. Something I have to admit though, is that Glados sounds a little more evil. But it's one of a few exceptions that I like both the German and English voice actors in the Portal Series.

The ball just falls and dies

[@ngeruma]

It's ok Aperture's got a million of the things ;)

[@boomlikeham]

You destroyed half of the million

[@ngeruma]

oh this is nothing compared to some i've played ;)

[@savasyn]

Another really fun one, and in my favorite setting, too. Bonus. I like the pig skin as well. Not only did it look cool, you got it to stay still a few times! No regular edgeless safety cube would do that ;) I'm guessing that the panels you mentioned at the very end are just there to keep a player from getting locked in. It'd be easy enough to get to the end without the ball and be stuck if there wasn't a "hidden" panel to get back with. You've mentioned smoking in the past two videos. If you don't mind me asking, are you really in the process of quitting?

[@ngeruma]

It would seem The Ol' Pigskin is clearly superior or at least more compliant than your regular edgeless safety cube ;) The panels being a safety catch like you suggest seems much more likely then my idea the swapping would be pointless really. And yes, i have given up smoking, roughly 4 weeks now (it was long overdue) :) Thanks dude :)

[@savasyn]

The Ol' Pigskin is totally superior to the lame edgeless cube! Huge congrats on the quitting! I wish you the best and hope you can stick with being smoke-free!!

[@boomlikeham]

Why do you keep resting ball : / there was a grate for portal

[@boomlikeham]

In the room with cube. There was also a door

[@ngeruma]

I know i could of just popped through the cube room but i felt the creator put that corridor in just for the little challenge of trying to get the ball to go around the corner by itself. And reseting the ball in the first room was probably just as easy as trying to get it past with portals, Maxdragonn clearly made the map with a few options like this for the player to do it their own way like this.

[@ngeruma]

Hey sorry for taking so long to reply, how did you break it? it's always interesting to see what unexpected things people can find in these kind of maps :)

[@Pixxeell___]

@@ngeruma I can’t remember now but I think I broke it by putting the ball in a room by throwing it into the angled panel on the 2nd part of the level. How I threw it? A good B-hop does the trick. Also from the 2nd cube area you can shoot to the floor button that de-activates the fizzler P.S You probably found this in editing, But You didn’t need to throw the ball you could have shot a portal behind the cube and went through the fizzler and picked up the ball and throw it through the ball-shaped hole

[@ngeruma]

i was aware you could just go get the ball from in that little corridor at the time, but preferred the more fun option since it was there, Maxdragonn is a really good map designer and gave us options :)
