Portal chamber 15 - With or without tunnelling

I made this short video to undermine the whole "tunnelling is intended because it's required to get gold on one of the official maps in portal" debate.

As this video hopefully demonstrates you can do chamber 15 without tunneling with a comparable time.

And there's probably another way of doing chamber 15 to get gold as well.

So my conclusion would be: Tunnelling is not an official part of Portal.

I do like tunnelling however and I do not intend to say it shouldn't be used in speed runs or as possible solutions for custom maps.

All I'm saying is that I don't think Valve necessarily counted on tunnelling as part of the official maps.

I don't know if "tunnelling" is a reasonable term for that. It's still a completely logical approach, though - many people come up with it anyways.

So you're claiming that Valve intended for people to jump into the slime and barely make it into a portal before dying? I don't think so. That's even more questionable than tunneling. To prove they didn't count on tunneling you would need to get gold completely legitimately.

@angelvi I think it takes 2 seconds... I think it takes 50% of your life per second or something (you have 100 health points)

@whumper88 Actually, I watched my brother fall into the liquid and (by accident) he got out of it alive. It takes a second to kill you.
