Poll: Gravity Gun or Portal Gun. What would you rather own?

[fishy009er]

So I'm just about finished the Half-life 2 trilogy on the Orange Box and as I've been playing, I can't help but think of all the fantastic fun I could have with a Gravity Gun. Like-wise, the same thought had occurred to me whilst playing Portal (but with the Portal Gun of course).

I think I would have to go with the Portal Gun, but it only wins for me by a very small margin.

So the question is, Would you rather a Gravity Gun OR a Portal Gun? Feel free to post your weapon of choice and why.

I've always wanted a portal gun, but the real question is. How long would it take for me to get myself killed with it?

I mean, Momentum + Me + Ground = *Squish*.
So if I want to play safe i'd go with the Physics gun or the edit Dark Energy Field Manipulator (the blue one) and if i wanted to fly I'd go with the portal gun.

I don't know about you but i would get myself killed somehow quite quickly

 

[Death on Trapezoids]

It depends. If it was a choice between the regular gravity gun and the portal gun, then the portal gun. However, if it was between the BLUE gravity gun and the portal gun, the blue one would win out by a small margin.

I'd say the portal gun... but christ i agree with everyone above, i'd die VERY quickly.

 

[Omikron009]

Gravity gun, because there's less potential to kill yourself with it.

portal gun and chell's leg hook thingies

 

[deckai]

Portal Gun! Faster than light traveling beats gravity pump.

@slipknot, around 4 second, since i would try to create a portal in a portal, creating a black hole or worse and killing me and probably destroy the universe...

..but well, no risk, no fun

Didn't the portal gun only work on certain surfaces? If so, I would choose the gavity gun. But assuming the portal gun worked on all surfaces, I would choose it.

Yeah, the ankle hooks are a necessity. I can imagine dying would not be difficult with that gun.

I'd want it, though, because apparently it's worth more than the salaries an organs of everyone in my hometown.

I'd say 20 minutes:
5 minutes, Looking at the damn thing and singing the lyrics of Could this be real by Sub focus
6 minutes, Trying to shoot portals at walls and see if you can see trough them
3 minutes, Trowing radnom small objects trough the portals
4 minutes, walking trough the portals and reaching places you thought you never could reach
4 minutes, hurling yourself trough the portals at high speeds
1 minute, doing a wall-to-floor portal combination and try to get as much speed as possible.
20th minute, at a speed of 780 mph you miss the portal and face your all too early demise.

I'd choose the portal gun and set up a perpetual energy device by flowing water between roof and floor thereby turning a turbine and giving me free energy.... or I could go stick one of those in a river either or

 

[The Procrastinated End]

Gravity gun because throwing things at deadly speeds is better then killing myself falling from very high places.

couldn't reach 780mph we have a thing called terminal velocity still enough to kill you obviously.

 

[rokkolpo]

portal gun.

and have one portal be on some island and the other one with me at all times.
building a house there and fill it with stuff i steal with the portal gun.

 

[Jtar]

The portal gun, even though a speedy demise would be guaranteed.

 

[Sephychu]

Didn't the portal gun only work on certain surfaces? If so, I would choose the gavity gun. But assuming the portal gun worked on all surfaces, I would choose it.

I believe that in the test chambers there were simply some Portal proof surfaces.

 

[klakkat]

I only want the portal gun if it can be the Portal Spawner (not it's actual name, but that's what it did) from Opposing Force. The functions of the other two have functions that can be emulated by more mundane things. But nothing I know of can teleport an enemy in a million tiny fragments to a million different dimensions, as the Portal Spawner does.

Portal Gun. Perpetual energy AND teleportation. The gravity gun is a glorified forklift.
