* Does jumping through portals make anyone else dizzy? I was able to play the first hour or so of the game without incident, but because the later levels are pretty much nothing but jumping through a portal, catapulting yourself across the room, spinning around really fast, then jumping back through the portal you just made, I can only play for ten, fifteen minutes at a time. It's driving me crazy, but I know I can't really fix this, so just wondering if anybody else had this issue.

*** Remember the part after Test Chamber 19 when you jump down an elevator shaft? The shaft ended after one floor, with a portal-able surface on it. Your elevator itself travels via portals.

*** Well, obviously, the blue portal would come out of itself, with a blue portal coming out of it, and a blue portal coming out of that one, etc. This would instantaneously generate infinite mass and create a black hole. [[SchmuckBait So please don't do that.]]

*** Level design doesn't always correspond to actual architecture, especially over multiple level transitions. If this doesn't satisfy you, there may well be multiple identical Test Chambers, or the Center restructuring system (seen in Portal 2) did it.

** Not only this, but there are always conveniently located portalable surfaces everywhere you go. Obviously it really just is an obstacle course for gameplay value, but the immersion does suffer at this point.

*** Easy. The portals are the same size. Therefore the box for the blue portal would be larger than the orange portal. Therefore it wouldn't fit. Now, think about what would happen if you only put a corner through.

* Shortly after you escape at the end of Test Chamber 19, you encounter two observation offices from which you can apparently see Test Chamber 14 and Test Chamber 9. In fact, shortly after this you end up in [=TC9=] for the second time in the game and must escape it through the elevator shaft. One problem with this: You are at this point ''nowhere NEAR'' [=TC9=] or [=TC14=] (and [=TC14=] is not close to [=TC9=] either). The vertical separation is the most obvious: the elevator at the end of each TC takes you ''up'' and in general the exit of a test chamber is higher than its entrance ([=TC18=] being the most {{egregious}} example). By the time you escape from [=TC19=] you are many, ''many, MANY'' storeys above [=TC9=]. The whole thing is impossible, unless M. C. Escher was a consultant in the design of the Enrichment Center. Though come to think of it, this ''is'' Aperture Science we're talking about...

* Portal fans, specifically ones that quote the game constantly. There are so many quotes said on the internet and it gets really annoying. When someone starts saying every tiny thing said by Glados in the game, I might as well just play through the game again, because it's not that long to beat. Also, "The cake is a lie" is not the funniest thing in the game, it's not even told directly to the player unless you find it in a hidden room.

** I assumed that the portal gun doesn't actually make new portals every time it's used, it instead somehow stores two connected portals inside of it that it can "paint" on certain surfaces. A significant amount of energy was used initially to make the portals, but much less is is used to maintain/contain them.
