Let's Learn Images

On June 17th, a developer named Colossal uploaded a new image spoofing off of some promotional images for Portal 2. In each one, a Blue Portals testing element is shown off in a cartoony fashion.

Let's Learn: Light Beam


The "Let's Learn: Light Beam" image was the first to be uploaded and showed off the Light Beam mechanic used in the seventh test chamber.

The following quote was along-side the image:

"The High-Particulating Spectroscopic Focused Light Beam, or HPSFLB, is a new mechanic developed by our technology technical technicians. Using a generator powered by 1.21 Gigawatts (to the fourth power), the TTT's were able to create a beam of pure light that stays in one steam and is highly visible to the naked eye. A good thing about the HPSFLB is that it's mostly safe! As long as you're comfortable with temporary blindness and sun burn, anyway."

Let's Learn: Magnets


The "Let's Learn: Magnets" image was the second Let's Learn image to be uploaded. It showed off the four Magnet types. It also contained a joke about a "Chick Magnet."

The following quote was included with the image:

"Fun-fact:

Magnets are magnetic!

''Blue Portals testing requires a lot of brains and ability. Also a gigabyte or two of hard drive space (*wink*). One thing the Technology Technical Technicians came up with were these magnets that only work on cubes.''

There are 4 magnet types:

Positive Magnets -- Blue

Negative Magnets -- Red

Neutral Magnets -- Green

Chick Magnets (Bill, stop changing the name, they're called Activators) -- Yellow"

Let's Learn: Box Catcher


The "Let's Learn: Box Catcher" image was the third Let's Learn image to be uploaded to the mod's page. It featured a cartoony remake of a room in Chamber 02 and showed off the Box Catcher mechanic.

The following quote was included:

"The Box Catcher's goal is to make things harder by decreasing the weighted cube population by one."

Along with that, it also included a reference to Winston Smith, the developer of another Portal mod, called Stay Inside.

Let's Learn: Faucet


The "Let's Learn: Faucet " image was the fourth to be uploaded. Surprisingly, the water effects in this image look better than the ones in the mod itself, but also a lot more cartoony, so putting it in the mod would make it stand out too much.

Instead of putting an explanation of the mechanic in the description of the image, it said the entry was missing. It also said to seek information from a "repair node."

In the image, a reference to The Hamster Alliance is included ("Jamez" and "Hamst3r"). It also talks of a test subject with radio equipment and a forty-third test course with a twenty-third test chamber. Since Blue Portals 2 in planned to be longer, there is a small chance that it takes place in the forty-third test course.
