How were you planning to move from the orange portal to the blue portal? Moving in midair is pretty hard.DoctorWhat said:I'd jump out of a plane without a 'chute. But I have a cunning plan to not die. Watch as I illustrate it in crude, MS Paint-o-vision:
I jump out of the plane and have my fun. As I get close to the ground, I place two portals. The Blue one (marked X in case you're colour blind) directly beneath me, and the Orange one slightly offset. If I seem to be veering, I'll re-adjust the blue portal so I don't die. I marked it runway for some reason, but this can be anywhere.
This means I come flying out of the orange portal at terminal velocity, but begin to decelerate and eventually fall due to gravity's downward force. I go back into the blue portal, adjusting the position if necessary. This eventually gets me to a velocity at which I can safely exit the portals and survive. It also gives the added benefit of having the effect of multiple skydives, from lower and lower heights. Exhilarating
If anyone sees a flaw in the physics, let me know, will ya?
if you had a Portal Gun, what would you do?

Oh right... Yeah, meant to say I'd have to jump at an agle so as not to cause that "endless bounce" thing you get in the game with two upward-facing portals. I included that in my second drawing... Hold on, I'll edit.onda said:

Get rid of the morning commute forever.
Sure, it seems mundane, but it it would be pretty awesome. You'd get about an hour of life your back (give or take) every day, avoid aggravating traffic, and save a fortune on transporation costs.

I have a BUNCH
Shoot one at the bottom of the sea (or flooded neighborhood) and the other somewhere in africa
Fuck myse... damnit
use my "water cannon portal" on people that piss mee off (like shooting a portal above them and watch them get crushed by hundreds of metric tons of water.
go skydiving, shoot one portal at the bottom of a plane and then shoot it on the ground just where I would hit it (risky but worth it )
instead of air conditioning illjust open a portal to antarctica and put it in my room ;]
sratch myself in the back and lick my elbows

Which one?LeonLethality said:
The one that shoots a burst of heatseeking missiles with every shot?
The one that's a fully automatic rocket launcher?
The one that shoots out lasers which converge and vapourise everything?
The one that shoots rapid fire lasers?
Or the one that shoots a hail of bullets and rockets to the sound of 1812 Overture?
...You know what, they're all awesome!
What would likely happen is that I would send myself flying almost one hundred feet into the air, realize as I went down that I don't have the leg braces that Chell had, and break both my legs.
