Twin Pillars

Description
This is my first map for Portal 2, Twin Pillars. It's done in the destroyed style. Be prepared to use the testing elements in ways that Valve has not trained you to use them. As a result, people who generally think outside of the box will likely find Twin Pillars a lot easier than those who don't. Also, keep in mind there is more than one way to solve the test.

The execution isn't all that difficult, it's just a matter of using gameplay mechanics in ways that you wouldn't expect.
Overall, I'd say the difficulty is probably around 6/10. But correct me if I'm wrong. The map size is medium, and it will likely take about 10 to 15 minutes to play on your first try.

Attached next to the images above the YouTube video guide back from version 1.2 (currently at 1.4) in case you get stuck. But I would strongly recommend playing the map before you watch that!

Very fun map! Figuring out that I could just use the speed gel to jump over the gap at the end took me far too long tho lol

Again good map; i don't use laser to finish off the turrets.

Awesome chamber. liked how you have to jump around the pillar in the beginning, not many out there like it.

It was OK. Not many people will think to resend orange gel into the funnel to send it over near the exit. Also bhopping many people won't think to do.

Wow, this was an awesome chamber! The GlaDoS laughs were creepy but welcome part of her personality. Those comments by GlaDoS were awesome too.

At first I was stuck with what to do, at least for 5 minutes. Then I decided to try something out of the blue and that worked The light bridge jumping thing . After that I killed the turrets with laser powah :D Then I got stuck again for another 6 minutes. One thing bothered me and it was that gel. There had to be a use for it, and all the sign further reinforced the idea. Then I tried gelling the laser side of the column and jump through that. Too many burns which prevented the jumping effect. Finally figured out the correct way.

It's been a while since I had such an enjoyable experience with a Hammer chamber. Loved every brain-twitching, grueling minute of it :D I saw the moon and tried the "Final Portal Attack" on it but the moon didn't respond. That's my only disappointment in this chamber :(

Anyone who needs hints on the turret bit: light bridge.
still not enough? Fine.
light bridge climbing.

That's the first time I've heard glados laugh, and it's.... well, creepy.
Also, am I the only one that tried to go around the goo at the start of the level?
