    If you know me well, you should know that I am a HUGE fan of a popular puzzle game called "Portal". I already explained what Portal is in another thread, so I'm not gonna do that again. :P

    Anyways, I had the idea of speedrunning through the original game (And possibly Portal 2 as well), because I've played it so many times now, and I feel like it would be cool to challenge myself and see how quickly I could run it from start to finish.

    ...And in recording it, you guys could laugh at how much I suck see how awesome I am at thinking with portals. :3

    Answer in the poll above. Ya got 10 days.

    To compensate, you receive a like. Sorry about that. ^^;

    Also, I've been doing some research, and it looks like the fastest run of Portal ever recorded was in 2012; about 8 minutes and a half using glitches.
    The fastest runs without glitch exploitation are usually around 20 minutes long.
    I'm not sure if I'll use glitches or not, but either way, I have a lot to live up to for this. o_O

    My goal is to get the best time I can. I'm hoping to complete the game as quickly as possible.
    I think I'm going to do it legit, though. As in, no "out of bounds" glitches.

    You would have to beat Sourceruns Team 0:0:9:12 wich was set on 2012 - 16 - 07, using large skip glitches.

    Id go for a any% sub 15 if I was you! Unless you are really good in it and manage sub 9 c:
    GOODLUCK

    That game isn't even out yet. I'd have to play it first.
    I'd speedrun the demo, but that got pushed back 3 months because of all the conflicts between Russia and Ukraine (Most of the team for that mod come from there).
    Actually, the record for quickest time was 0:0:8:12, and I don't know if I'm going to do that well.
    Saw their first run. It was crazy.
    Besides, I don't think I'll be using all those insane glitches.
    I dunno. I feel like I should do it 100% legit (glitches aren't completely legit IMO).
    Mayyybe I'll use a couple of puzzle shortcuts if I find any, but no ridiculous "Flying around outside the map" stuff. :p
    EDIT: I feel like I should add that I'm not doing this RIGHT away. I fell like I'm going to do the serious run sometime mid-april after I spend some time memorizing the puzzles, finding quick ways to solve them without noclip glitches, and other crap like that. :p

    Sorry for bumping, but I guess since nobody voted no, I gotta do it now. :D
    Poll and thread now closed. Hopefully I'll do the serious run some time this month. ;)
