Stuck already on puzzle 2 (spoilers kinda)
That didn't take long. I'm stuck already, but this isn't the fun kind of "hmm, gee, how do I do this" stuck. I need a cube to open a door and there are no cubes anywhere on the level that I can find. The only dispenser drops a gramophone instead of a cube. Grr.

I've looked in everywhere, even in some places where I'm pretty sure I'm not supposed to get to (on the big ship, walking *inside* of the debris). Searched all around where GLaDOS is and found the room with the little video of her being shut down and everything. And that's all well and good, but I can haz cube now?

I also seem to have lost my time machine. Not sure what that's about.

You have to go through the door for "emergency GLADOS shutdown leave unlocked", and "hack" the puzzle at the computer terminal. You want to make sure the cube sensor is "on". The puzzle is unsolvable, there is no cube - you have to hack to win.

Care to elaborate how?

it's too complicated for people just solve it, it's not even a puzzle but @BrickOnKeyboard answered how to make through it.

Just go up to the screen, it shows a diagram of the puzzle, you hit "e" to toggle stuff, you go to the cube detector and hit e. it says "ON" instead of off. Done.

I get stuck immediately after this room.

edit: nevermind, forgot about the backjumping technique.

Well, no wonder I couldn't see that. That's the tiniest little interface I've seen in a video game. Finally got through there and then the game just crashes and I can't go any further. Oh well, maybe I'll try again some day in the future when these issues are hopefully worked out.

the last stage, you have to record your self when u use Cubic cube, creat a portal to move it in the other side and drop it in the place for cubique.
Then do the same thing with Sphere cube (while your clone is doing it with cubic at the same time)
Remember: Clone for Cubic and your self for Sphere, it not work in the other way because your clone can't drop the sphère in the point. (try your self and u see the problem)
