That...that was...I just...

[Dr. Crawver]

he's such a hack

 

[BioHazardMan]

Amazing, but wow does that guy have some time on his hands.

 

[jpoon]

Someone has a lot of time to waste, that's for certain. I wonder how many tries it took to get all of those to work?

 

[zHellas]

Right I'm gonna see if this is a 360 only thing or if I can chuck boxes around like a madman and still get results elsewhere

Here's you the next day:

*calls into work*
You: "Yeah, hey boss! I can't make it into work today."
Boss: "Why not?"
You: "I'm doing SCIENCE!!!"

OT: I think this guy probably cheated or used some hidden files in the system. It's just I can't see how only one guy (from what I'm being shown, I'm assuming only he had done this) could do all that without cheating or using hidden files in the game.

Actually I got a few of his tricks to work, just practice by jumping, flicking the right stick up and letting go of the cube.

-drops jaw- wow that is impressive, where on earth did get the idea to throwing the cubes I didn't even think that as a possibilty in portal 2

 

[FamoFunk]

Hahaha, that was awesome!
I hope more videos like this come, and that someone who can speed run in it some insane time.

 

[MrGFunk]

I noticed in the video the player referenced and credited "Transgenic."

He's the player who holds the Portal 1 speedrun record as seen here:

For most of this video I don't know what is going on...

I guess that means I'm impressed.

 

[fundayz]

What's up with the changing headlines/titles?

 

[dfcrackhead]

This is impressive.

Only one thing would be more impressive, if Valve fixed the bloody crashing bugs portal 2 has.

What crashing issues? I've beaten single player twice, once normally and the second time, exploring/listening to dev commentary and a friend and I beat the co-op shit in one sitting(about 4-ish hours) and the game has never crashed on me.

 

[Tuqui]

thats some pretty extreme cubing right there!

its like free runing...with cubes...and buttens...and portals...

And panels, and crushers, and potatos, and combustible lemons, and moon starch....

 

[XShrike]

Great, now we know about what the gold medal bar is going to be set at when they release the challenge update.

 

[thatstheguy]

Speedrunners are going to get all moist over this. Especially the "PC-precision" enthusiasts.

 

[SlugLady28]

Hoooooly... I'm gonna have to try that.

I love portal so much <3

 

[Darzen]

God help us. Physics have stoped working in the future

 

[Ima842]

Cool...how do you do the 're-portaling' technique? Can it be done on PCs?

I'd like to know this, too.

That guy has some mad skills.

When passing through a portal, immediately enter another portal, it worked on my PC.

 

[Telperion]

That looked really cool. I don't enjoy speed runs, but applauds to this guy / gall for doing it. Looked really impressive.

 

[Kenjitsuka]

Very impressive!
I wonder how many takes it took
