I thought the game was pretty hard, but you eventually get used to it and I memorized the levels pretty fast. I found a way to challenge myself without the need for new maps.

If you would like to join me in my quest:

Console (~)
type: "DebugSystemUI" and press enter
the debug menu should appear.
go through the tabs at the top and in one of them should be: "Mat_Fullbright 0" or something close to that.
Change "Mat_Fullbright" to "Mat_fullbright 2.00"
this changes the textures so it is harder to tell which surfaces can be portalized.
some options in the debug menu to avoid:
Software Lighting
World
VGUI

anyone else have any console commands or something to challenge yourself more?

Was it the that gave it away?

Anyway it was only because I don't know any console commands. It's a good idea.

Turn down your graphics all the way and turn off Portal rendering.

You can't see through Portals and then you can't read signs either.

Personally I think that, if I remember correctly.. only a few maps of the original 19 were actually somewhat hard. But for some reason I cannot seem to unlock the additional maps.. its like.. I dunno, I want to play these advanced maps to see if they are more challenging.

I think it changes the size of that little ball of light on the portal gun, cause it changes effect depending on what portal you shoot.


Edit: I know the pics are huge, but I get some lulz out of the thought that people with eency weensy 1024/768 monitors have to scroll for ten minutes just to get to the other side of the page.

Try to beat the whole game by using a jump key only 5 times (if I'm correct).
Disable portal funnel
Make your mouse sensitivity suck, no matter how.

Oh, I got this small button on my mouse that switches it from 800 DPi-mode to 1600 DPi-mode, should try that. It's really friggin' fast in 1600-mode.
