What do you mean?
20 portals run ^
after i uploaded it i watched it and realised a few bits of the editing were pretty bad, but it will do... 
Heh, once again someone uses decorational props to "cheat" in my maps. I have to be careful about that in the future. I also see that you do tunneling (have I understood this term right?). It's also something I consider cheating (partialy because I suck at it). Bouncing the balls around with the cube however, isn't really cheating. 
So... I would never have the patience to do all those things myself and neither will I expect someone to do them to achieve the gold score. But if there were platina...

Can't say that I've ever done that before. It looked as if the box was lagging behind until it just couldn't keep up with you anymore.
Well, I put it through the portal, then the portal closed, so I think it might have been confused and put the cube outside the wall. I'll try to do it again and record it this time.
I'm not sure if anyone else noticed this, but you can
And damn you map makers and your anti-OOB! different route is just different!
[edit after completion]
Very cool map, the turret hallway with the e-fields was very annoying, but since I already had both guns (from the ABH glitch I mentioned) it wasn't horrible...IMO it was the worst part of the map. Challenging is one thing, but turrets are just something I'm not a fan of.
Another glitch: In the cube carry platform section, it was very easy to just portal stand+peek to get everything done, skipping most of the "puzzle" element.
Kudos to your map sir!
Siiig, your post came just right in time, because I was about to release an update of this map. Too bad I don't understand what you're writing ABH and OOB?

"portal stand+peak" ?
Siig is a speedrunner. ABH is a technique that makes you go really fast. It stands for accelerated Back hop.
OOB is when you portal yourself outside the map, so you are on the outside wall of the map: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_O-7d01q ... re=related
Heh sorry, troughs are terms that just come naturally to me. I'll throw you some pictures to show you what I mean.
I was going to do screenshots, but I figured demos would be more fun haha.

To use these, throw them into your portal/portal folder (the one with the maps folder in it), then playdemo (the demos name) in console.
Hope you enjoyed the glitches XD. I threw some more in because I noticed them on the spot.
Thanks for explaining 
. It was a good idea to make the demo files, Siiig. I understand what you're doing now, but I only managed to do the glitch when you put a portal on the other side of a wall/window/fizzler.
I assume there's no way to protect the map from these glitches, so I'm just going to release the new version as it is.
Actually, metal. I love my glitches but I would never not tell you how to fix them haha. That's why I'm here. If you put metal above the fizzler, metal around the top edges of the map (just, some more) you could prevent the portal bumping (that's when you shoot a portal through a wall/field/glass wall).
The portal standing and peeking I did are another story though. Since those are game mechanics, there's really no way to fix them. I found another few glitches, I'm working on a straight through run of the map that'll showcase everything I found for you.
Once again, in regards to fixing these haha, metal.
[Edit for great justice]
So, since this didn't even beat the best completion time achievement, I'm a bit ashamed to call it a speed run...but for now it's the best I'm going to put out. Each puzzle just has something that can easily go wrong (miss the ABH, get killed by the turrets, ball hitting puzzle (oh how I hate that puzzle)).
Out of curiosity, what was the basis of your speed completion achievements?
*teh run*
