    Has anyone tried standing on top of the toilet while flushing it? I think you need to be standing on it, anyway. I've flushed it before while standing next to it and I didn't hear anything.
    It talks.
    You flush it by pressing the "use" button on your keyboard while aimed at the tank, I think.

    And it says something like "thank you for your business"

    For some reason my camera shy achievement resets all the time, whatever it's a lame reason to go through the game again.

    That is the only one I need. Any hints?

    Only way I could do it was with the jump grab jump exploit with the companion cube. Even then i would get to the final stretch with 100+ steps, only way I even shaved a few steps was throwing the cube into the incinerator from the doorway. Otherwise just keep saving after doing well. 100 steps to last section, 115 to the button before I could actually make it.

    For the camera shy thing, do you have to dislodge the ones on unportalable surfaces too?

    Also, I just tried typing in "PLAY PORTAL" on the aperturescience site and it went to a youtube video that's been removed by the user who put it up. What used to be there?

    Wait, so this is a single player game? I was under the impression that there would be crazy multiplayer games involving portals and more portals and possibly more portals.

    Well considering there are no weapons other than a weapon whose primary and secondary firing modes are "Move in mind-fucking ways" Multi would be pretty boring.

    Huh.

    Well color me disappointed.

    (I'm sure I'll still enjoy it though)

    Think spy vs. spy where you try to portal your opponents into deathtraps and portal yourselves away from said deathtraps.

    Why the fuck does Portal Multiplayer have to be about fucking killing each other? Why can't it be about solving puzzles competitively or some capture the ball bullshit where you can't pick up the ball?

    You were the one who gave it cake? Awesome.

    But yeah. There were like...six Weighted Companion Cubes on Facebook, all of which were killed judging by the lack of comments by any of them in the "I love the weighted companion cube" group.

    LEVEL 17 ADVANCED -->

    How do I open both doors when I only have 1 ball with which to activate a switch? I've got 2/3 orb things activated and can't get the third one.
    Hold the first one open and when the energy ball passes through let it close and it'll bounce between the two doors until you move the ball to open the second door. Do it fast before the energy ball fades.
    I cannot believe the simplicity of the seemingly impossible tasks I keep encountering. This game is fkn genius.
    Place the cube to open door 2, and then as soon as the ball passes the switch step on it to open door 1.

    You know what, I can't beat the updated Kenjara map.
    The area with the big toxic waste keeps getting me. I know its a sling shot, but I never have the momentum to clear the sludge. I thought maybe if I sling shot back into the portal I have on the first surface closest to where I need to go it will boost my speed 10 fold but I seem to just flop out the other side like a dead fish.

    Shit never mind, I uh, did something he probably didn't want done but it got me past it none the less. Man, a mapper is going to need people to play test his map for quick and sleazy methods before he releases it.

    it's also easy to stack up cameras then jump up on the second switch. I knocked two off the wall, but my friend ported behind the part of the wall that is pushed out to get cameras.

    Aside from constantly feeling disoriented this game was awesome (I'm sure I won't feel like this after I spend more time working on challenges). It gets extra points for making my roomate sick.

    I have the first and the third, but not the second. Even funnier: I re-did the 4th level (I made that one originally offline, so I thought it could be because of it) and I got the achievement ingame... but not on the Steam page.
