How do portals work? (Portal Question)

[Blitz]

Alright so, in the game Portal, when there are two portals on the ground and you go in foot first, you pop out from the other portal head first. How the fuck does that work? I mean, even for the games physics -- if you hacked into third person mode what would you see if you watched that? I'm so fucking confused. If there were two portals on the ground shouldn't you come out of the other one upside down?

We will never know
Unless we invent portals in our lifetime :O

It's Valve. You never know what they think. Trying to explain their thought process is like dividing by 0. Just doesn't work

portals are kinda waste of time if u build a portal here and to where u want to tele u dont have to make 1 anymore cuz ur already at the place u want to be? right?

3rd person view wasn't supposed to be used, as much is obvious. However I feel that they did "hint" that you go out upside down with the view rotation thingy or something. Dunno, I haven't played in a while

HAHA what the fuck! ^

Is this a VALVe-Mormon question?

I don't remember, but in Co-Op would be the best place to see it.

But chillax, it's a game fo reals homiez, the physics of a portal like that doesn't make sense to begin with.

simply think about it like a door one portal is one door and then there is a tunnel to the exit which brings you out in the other portal this i guess is the simplest way of putting it.

You caring about a vidya game's physics makes even less sense.
