Ah this jump. I can't fault him here if he takes a while. I didn't figure out you had to blow up the tube at all. I picked up a lot of random shit (boxes, harddrives etc) myself and stacked them up for a makeshift cube when I went through here, lol.

Same here man i was stuck on that part for like 30mins and was the one time i cheated in portal and how to look up how to do it. It was really bullshit how your supposed to think it would break it

You can blow up the vent? I always stacked chairs

Yeah, and a cube pops out when you do.

I am just feeling sick watching and wanting him to do what i think will work ( i have never played it, but i have some ideas). Just Painful to watch.

If you start playing now, you'll get to try your ideas out before he's through with that puzzle.

I took like an hour figuring out how to break the vent (really that I was supposed to) then I'm pretty sure I recall getting stuck in that vent being the longest sticking point for me in the entire game, I had no idea where to go or what to do.

This is karmic revenge for all the trolling Hot_bid has done in the past.

Unless this itself is a troll.
... in which case well played HB, well played.

Did you not see 45 minutes of trying the same jump over and over?

Well hes on his way to figuring it out, he thinks it involves the robot.

You can practically hear the wheels turning in his head.

"I swear to god, if this involves the robot..."

I tuned in right as he was completing the last test chamber, so I missed out

Bisu is amazed at Hot_Bid's futile attempts at success.

Add the emancipation grid to the "list of things Hot_Bid still doesn't know how to use".

Test Chamber 18:

Show nested quote +

+ Show Spoiler +

Around 30 min into the chamber where there are turrets:
Hotbid has conveniently ignored the left corner of the room and continues to try and force his way to the button across the acid pool by finding a way to gain momentum and speed his way through.

It's not working btw.

35-ish minutes in
Hotbid seems to have found out there is something in the corner. Can he use it though? Stay tuned!

45 min into this room now
Hotbid has learned that timing may or may not be involved in this puzzle. He is now wondering why there are energy balls. (Hint: They open stuff)

55 minutes into this room
Did my eyes deceive me? Did Hotbid just solve a puzzle? Finally? :o

Now at around 1 hour of this room
"Wait, what did I just do?" Yes Hotbid, we all wonder as well. He has now gone the wrong way backwards and realises he must backtrack to pick up his companion cube. Or "The Rock" as he calls it. Will he fall into a pit of acid for no reason at all? Let's see!

We are now at 70 min of this puzzle
Hotbid is still stuck wondering how to get at the plainly visible Companion Cube. "No, don't use the webcam." But that's less entertainment for us! "I'm hungry." He complains.

Approaching the 90 min mark now...
Hotbid continues to use his tried and tested 'Keep going the same thing again and again and hope it works out eventually' Strategy. And... wait, what is this... Somehow it works? IT WORKS, IT WORKS. "Can I make this jump?" Yes, it seems you can. Well done. You now have a companion cube. Now to finish this Test Chamber...

A short while later...
Hotbid has not unlocked part 2. He stares at a pit of acid helplessly. "What is this? Where am I? How do I...." He tries momentum jumps but lands in acid. "Will it send me back or was there a checkpoint... OH THANK GOD."

10 min to this new section
Hotbid must now make momentum jumps by speeding up and then jumping into portals to make large jumps. It's not going so well right now.

15 minutes in now...
Hotbid remains stuck as always. "This game. My head hurts." He walks off a platform and falls into acid for no reason.

25 min in
What is this..? Hotbid has learned how to bunny hop with portals by firing them in mid air. SUCCESS! He is jumping from platform to platform now.

30 min in
He has solved this puzzle! Congrats! "How many levels are left? .... God. Wait, why did you say it would only take 1 hr?"
