I watched [livejournal.com profile] major_clanger play through the first few levels, otherwise I'd've been stuck and frustrated learning the very simplest games conventions (as such a novice). It's fascinating watching the brain work out new things that have not been told to it explicitly, such as the way the portal targeting design changes when the gun is pointed at an area that will not accept a portal. Saved me a lot of random shooting, that did!

The commentary does provide a lot of information on how the first few levels are intended to hold your hand. The other thing I would try to bear in mind is that Portal is not a reflex tester - if you're trying to do something in a way that demands reflexes, you're doing it wrong.

Obviously I should have arranged to give you the graphics card _at the Carlton_. :-)
