January Contest Voting

I made the mistake of downloading all of the contest maps, unzipping them all properly, then promptly forgetting what all of them are named and being only able to remember one or two before I got bored and closed portal again.

I need some Ritalin. Sad

(And RainbowPalace was awesome. Especially for the box fling. I hate f'n box flings using the actual portal gun. The box always clips a corner and fubars itself.)

Speaking of, can i change my vote from Pl3asant to Rainbow Palace? Surprised

my vote goes to already tested chamber. it looks great, and unlike all the other maps, it isnt impossibly hard. half of the maps i couldnt get working, either.

edit: why are so many maps so difficult for me to solve? is there some technique that TWP people know that i dont?

i too have it on, no problems. Have you played and beat ALL of the commercial maps? advanced chambers too?

not that ALL those maps are required in order to play "these" maps.... but, if you do that. you'll definately be closer to "Thinking With Portals"

WOW it IS close!

do you think when the superdelegates vote that there will be a backlash if they don't vote the same way their own states voted for each map?

i hope we don't have to take this to the portal convention, because that would be such a mess.

Actually Duffers suggested a Sudden Death 3-hour mapping cagematch and I kinda like the idea.

This was really hard to decide. After playing all the maps a couple of times I was torn between Aldez, LoveGLaDOS, and Rainbow Palace. A Pleasant Debut would have been up there if the signs on the doors hadn't been so confusing.

But I ended up going with Rainbow Palace. It did the best job of being and feeling like a test chamber that taught you what to do. Sure there were a few problems, like getting to that cube in the first area (I found that stepping backwards after falling through was the best way) but overall it was very consistent and well done.

LoveGLaDOS was beautiful, but the rocket section didn't fit into the test chamber mentality. And having to go back for the non-companion cube in Aldez's chamber was a deal breaker.

Congrats to everyone who submitted!
