      @The Legendary Overlord I don't think surfaces needed to have moon dust, moon dust itself was just capable of conducting portals. So certain surfaces that don't conduct need moon dust paint, but many of the plain concrete walls in portal 2 conducted portals without paint.

      Wilo Polis the walls in the test chamber might be. But several concrete walls in the cave Johnson area, which would have been built before they had moon rocks, still conducted portals.
      A handheld portal device isn’t super useful if it needs one type of specially designed walls to work.

Even when there is no or low pressure or force below you when you falling from the portal, there may have a vacuum state below and above you that make you slow down if not float.

      pero en algún recodo de tu encierro
      puede haber un descuido, una hendidura.
      El camino es fatal como la flecha
      pero en las grietas está Dios, que acecha.
      JL Borges
      To english:
      Do not give up. The ergastula is dark,
      the firm plot is of incessant iron,
      but in some corner of your confinement
      There may be an oversight, a slit.
      The road is fatal as the arrow
      but in the cracks is God, who lurks.

      not really, there are plenty of flaws to this. The effects are pretty low quality(For any movie), the actor was bad, the practical effects were bad. The fact that she mastered the portal gun in a few seconds is not a really good way to start something off... It took most people at least 30 minutes to understand how the portal gun works in game...

Hell, even the way he put such a dramatic spin on what was just a puzzle game for people E-10+ is amazing. I love seeing the work of people who are now household names back when they first begun.

      +On EDM Cloud 9: with no spoilers, I can say: its not about what happens, but how you feel after play and see the endings.
      The entire game you play while is in the middle of a cutscene, like if all the game was a movie and instead of watch, you interact with this movie, so the end causes you "chills moments", not because the conquest, but because what happened between the beginning and ending of the game.

      When I saw the ending, I thought it was bad blue/green screen, then I realized it was a simulation. Beautiful shortfilm. Im excited for. 10 Cloverfield Lane
