On teen jeopardy (the finals were on), there was an opening category for video games. The players went through the board passing it until they finally went down it, and the 3rd or 4th question was for portal - they played the opening scene of the portal trailer!

This just made me really happy. Anyone else see it?

Ooh, Youtube has widescreen now?

As usually I run after the news. Same happends me as cartoonist of my school's newspaper... Appearantly no-one ever tells the cartoonist anything.

Anyhoo, why does the questioner say 'doors'? They're portals! The game is named after them, Zeus damn it!

Probably a rule against using the answer in the clue.

Oh...

Yeah...

But 'Interdimensional Gateways', as GLaDOS calls them, would have been sufficient.
