That is not an easter egg, that is an exploit, some people call it a glitch.

Easter eggs are hidden items put in by the developers.

Ok, it may not be technically an easter egg then. But it is not a glitch or an exploit. We are not breaking anything in the game. We are simply doing the things the game encouraged us to do, placing portals and getting places.

What's lol about it? It isn't an easter egg lol.

It can be considered an exploit, or unintended design, as you are achieving something by means unintended.

I know but you got really riled up about it :D

I didn't make the original comment :) And he was just setting the guy straight; it's better to correct him than to have him repeat it to more people and sound like an idiot :)

Nevermind the fact that it's impossible to judge emotion or tone on the internet. He didn't use CAPS or !!!!!!!!!! so you don't have much to label him riled up :\

He was actually rather matter-of-fact and to the point about it. I'd be willing to bet his blood pressure didn't even rise ;)

Neat. TBH I'm not sure what part of that video is considered a glitch because I haven't played the co-op part. Is that insert disc part not part of the puzzle I take it? In that case I'd call that an easter egg as that was very obviously put there on purpose. Otherwise the whole "insert disc" thing wouldn't have done anything.

When we jump down and skip the field that takes your portals away, we keep our portals so we can use the gravity funnel or whatever it is called. On that platform you are supposed to go through the door and continue on, but we cheat and use a portal to go back to the previous room.

Once we are in the room I shoot a portal and my partner strafe jumps (gl console) to the track.

You aren't really meant to be on the track, nor in the room.
