The Reverend Posted 30 March 2008 Posted 30 March 2008 PS3 on Linux = streaming media centre/lounge based computer/blu-ray/console: So I have just discovered.The 360 can then be chipped and use the ancilliary TV for kids gaming. I'm all about the gadgeting on the house Aaah, doesnt sound such a bad idea then. But giving the kids a 360? Get 'em a Wii lol *waits for Phube*
Flexx Posted 31 March 2008 Posted 31 March 2008 My mate has recently sold his 360 and bought a PS3. Traitor. To be fair, Playstation's are a good bit of kit. And i like the controllers, however Xbox 360 has better online even though you have to pay. Get either. It is worth it.
Phube Posted 31 March 2008 Author Posted 31 March 2008 Aaah, doesnt sound such a bad idea then. But giving the kids a 360? Get 'em a Wii lol *waits for Phube* I wont rise to it!!! <_<
The Reverend Posted 31 March 2008 Posted 31 March 2008 I wont rise to it!!! <_< Hey Phube i completed Portal yesterday! Bloody brilliant! The Orange Box is absolute quality. I love it.
Manwell Pablo Posted 31 March 2008 Posted 31 March 2008 Hey Phube i completed Portal yesterday! Bloody brilliant! The Orange Box is absolute quality. I love it. Try the advanced maps. What. The. ****.
Phube Posted 31 March 2008 Author Posted 31 March 2008 Hey Phube i completed Portal yesterday! Bloody brilliant! The Orange Box is absolute quality. I love it. Too right it is... don't you just love the song at the end? Try the advanced maps.What. The. ****. I've done 13 & 14... but even they killed me... Let alone the Challenges, I have got 1 second place and 4 third... I swear the rest are impossible!!!
Manwell Pablo Posted 31 March 2008 Posted 31 March 2008 Too right it is... don't you just love the song at the end? I've done 13 & 14... but even they killed me... Let alone the Challenges, I have got 1 second place and 4 third... I swear the rest are impossible!!! I've briefly tried 13 then decided bollocks to it will have another go when I can be forked. Some of the time trials are ridiculous, some of them give you like 10 seconds.
The Reverend Posted 31 March 2008 Posted 31 March 2008 Try the advanced maps.What. The. ****. I struggled on the bloody normal ones! Too right it is... don't you just love the song at the end? I've done 13 & 14... but even they killed me... Let alone the Challenges, I have got 1 second place and 4 third... I swear the rest are impossible!!! That song is hilarious at the end! ''Maybe Black Mesa...That was a joke haha fat chance''!!! Quality. Think i'll give the advanced maps a try in a bit.

Think i'll give the advanced maps a try in a bit. They are mental, although I think I've just worked out how to do 13 in my head.
The Reverend Posted 31 March 2008 Posted 31 March 2008 They are mental, although I think I've just worked out how to do 13 in my head. You must have a bloody good memory!
Phube Posted 31 March 2008 Author Posted 31 March 2008 They are mental, although I think I've just worked out how to do 13 in my head. Jump with the cube!!! It's actually not that bad... But doing 14 challenge with 2 portals!?!?!? WTF!?!?
Manwell Pablo Posted 31 March 2008 Posted 31 March 2008 Jump with the cube!!!It's actually not that bad... But doing 14 challenge with 2 portals!?!?!? WTF!?!? ........not done that one doesn't sound too hard though. Surely if you stick one under the elevator and jump from a great height with into the other portal (the staircase that disappears could be an idea) you'll just hop over the elevator into the exit.

Wait a mo'... that could just work.... I'm a scientist.... I can't think laterally!!!
The Reverend Posted 31 March 2008 Posted 31 March 2008 I've just done the first 4 on advanced! Go me! The fourth one, my god, i dont know how i did it, the one with loads of turrets, but on advanced, there in cages so no knocking them over! Hard as!

Not the way i did it - you'll kick yourself when you realise
Manwell Pablo Posted 31 March 2008 Posted 31 March 2008 Not the way i did it - you'll kick yourself when you realise We aint talking about the advanced map, we're talking about the challenge where you have to do the test chamber 14 using two portals.
The Reverend Posted 31 March 2008 Posted 31 March 2008 We aint talking about the advanced map, we're talking about the challenge where you have to do the test chamber 14 using two portals. Aaaaaah i'm with you.... 2 portals? Thats ridiculous! Good luck!
MPH Posted 31 March 2008 Posted 31 March 2008 gonna get ps3 , just looking for a decent deal i got mine free with my mobile phone. cant get a better deal than that.
Manwell Pablo Posted 31 March 2008 Posted 31 March 2008 Aaaaaah i'm with you.... 2 portals? Thats ridiculous! Good luck! Done it
Phube Posted 1 April 2008 Author Posted 1 April 2008 Done it Me too... Mawell you're a genius!! No do it in 10 seconds!!! Or 10 steps!!!
Manwell Pablo Posted 1 April 2008 Posted 1 April 2008 Me too... Mawell you're a genius!!No do it in 10 seconds!!! Or 10 steps!!! Yeah had a crack at that.....got down to 19. 10 is a bit silly.
Phube Posted 1 April 2008 Author Posted 1 April 2008 Yeah had a crack at that.....got down to 19. 10 is a bit silly. 18 seconds and 19 steps!!! I call impossible!!
Manwell Pablo Posted 1 April 2008 Posted 1 April 2008 18 seconds and 19 steps!!! I call impossible!! Yeah the steps is hard I don't think I'll have time to attempt it again till Thursday now. Not tried the timed one but I'm thinking it's got to be something like, Blue Portal in front of the elevator, Orange fired at foot of lift as you first enter the level, drop into the blue. pop up through the Orange one and fire a Blue one against the back wall of the previously used drop zone. Obviously your momentum would then carry you back through the portal you'd just popped up through and then through the one you just created on the back wall of the drop zone, obviously you'd fall, fire another blue portal at your feet as you land pop up back through the orange one under the lift. onto platform safe us houses. If done right 10 seconds should be comfortable. Although I'm guessing (if it works) this is going to be alot harder than that sounds.
Phube Posted 1 April 2008 Author Posted 1 April 2008 Try this then... it's ridiculous: Chamber 15 in 28 secs!! :eek:
Dr The Singh Posted 1 April 2008 Posted 1 April 2008 Try this then... it's ridiculous: Chamber 15 in 28 secs!! :eek: You buying a PS3 then Phube, or just dreaming of one!!!!
