Steam Community :: TwP 1 - F' the Fizzler

Prototype 26 Apr, 2013 @ 6:54pm

Nice use of a light bridge, not to difficult, but does require multiple tries to get it right.

Gig, because of the music in that link, I ended up getting sucked into watching most of your speed run vids :P

The intended solution is somewhat similar, but a little easier. So you just stepped up the difficulty AND the coolness! Good job!
What you found is so awesome of an exploit, that it has to count as a second solution. I am leaving that.

Nice, but I did find a skip, a pretty huge one, an awesome one you might say: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wj-SDYPDAVc&feature=plcp - Enjoy!

The point of the stand-alone fizzler was to keep the symmetry, and maybe - but only maybe - have one or two players stand and wonder for a second, if I didn't mean to put a lightbridge and just mis-clicked.

Moth 1 Oct, 2012 @ 10:50pm

I`m not sure what the point of the stand-alone fizzler was. It didn`t hinder me at all, but I loved the concept in this chamber. I`ve seen it in another chamber and have wanted to make something revolving around it. Nicely done, enjoyable.

Thank you for playing it! The maps in "Thinking with Portals" are supposed to be quite hard, so I think I reached my goal with this one. ;-)

stormsend 23 Sep, 2012 @ 2:32pm

I hate to admit that i was stumped for a while. I finally made it. Verrry hard map for me. Great job.

Good idea. Short and to the point :) Not sure if I got the angle and the placement exactly right but I hope you built the puzzle with some margin of error possible

.sheridan .vespo [author] 29 Jul, 2012 @ 8:46am

I did. Thanks to Yöjalka for showing me and thanks to Goose for the training map, which I haven't completed yet, but I still managed to learn the multi-portal-jump.

Thank you for trying my maps, Goose. If you liked them, I hope you recommend them to other players you know.

Pretty fun, not too hard. I also solved it first with a simple fling like yojalka did, but then went back to do it the normal way. It's not even reportaling, just normal flinging. Might want to move the exit a little further away :p

Zapperlott 21 Jul, 2012 @ 6:17am

@Geneosis: I think the reportaling method is more like a technique than a glitch...sure in most maps it is not intended..i use it for fun - actually i made a little chamber just about this :)

Geneosis 21 Jul, 2012 @ 2:36am

@Yöjalka : I know, I know, you couldn't have made it with glitch this way X)

Geneosis 21 Jul, 2012 @ 2:36am

For info, here is the new reportal glitch method ^^

Zapperlott 21 Jul, 2012 @ 2:30am

@Geneosis: This is no glitch! just basic portal physics! - The reason for me to place the portals that late is just to enter them perfectly..

Geneosis 21 Jul, 2012 @ 2:30am

@Sheridan.Vespo : Saldly only one way to get this glitch have been fixed... There is still a hard way to make it works, but Yöjalka didn't use it here ^^

Zapperlott 21 Jul, 2012 @ 2:27am

In this chamber you have to learn it - It is not easy to do in the beginning, you have to get the feeling for it , but when you made the jump you have a new skill :)

This is made by "Goose" - i highly recommend his maps!!

.sheridan .vespo [author] 21 Jul, 2012 @ 2:27am

@Geneosis, I heard that valve fiexd the latter quite some time ago.

Geneosis 21 Jul, 2012 @ 2:23am

@Yöjalka : Well so your alternate solution is the normal speed conservation or the glitchy speed gain when you shoot portals just when you go through it?

Zapperlott 21 Jul, 2012 @ 2:20am

@Sheridan.Vespo
I jump out of the wall into the floor, shoot out of the wall jumping in another floorportal...It is the angle that makes you shoot upwards out the wall again ;)

Zapperlott 21 Jul, 2012 @ 2:16am

@Timoteeei: Thank you :) this is very useful in a lot of maps..
@Sheridan.Vespo: I don´t think there is a need to fix this one.
Just one thing: I just made it to the exit by strafe jumping out of the wall on the side..took a while to get,but it is possible as you jump two blocks far by dropping two blocks..

.sheridan .vespo [author] 21 Jul, 2012 @ 2:13am

I just watched the video again... What the f are you doing? you seem to be using portals as trampolines. How is that even possible?

Timoteeei 21 Jul, 2012 @ 2:03am

@Yöjalka, wow, that was very tricky =)

.sheridan .vespo [author] 21 Jul, 2012 @ 2:01am

Hmm.... I might have to fix that. But thank you for playing!!

Zapperlott 20 Jul, 2012 @ 10:07pm

Awesome chamber! Very cool use of the bridge - Thumbs up!
I also made it without the lightbridge ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeFxsY4PmT8&feature=youtu.be

Timoteeei 20 Jul, 2012 @ 11:25am

Beat it =) It wasn't too hard for fiured out cos i tried to do similar thing in some of my tests but I decided to don't use such things because it is somewhat random and it is necessary to try many attempts before you succeed - and not all players are patient like me: D

Geneosis 21 Jun, 2012 @ 10:34am

Nice one ^^ Interesting new mechanism ;)
