Hey everybody. I haven't seen any topic's for this, only the favorite maps topic, so I wanted to start one for fun. If I am wrong and there already is one, I apologize.

What is your favorite portal theme?

My favorite is Old Aperture and Behind the Scenes because of the visuals.

Old aperture.
I specially love the maps where you can see that there used to be a way to solve it without a portalgun but since it's broken you can't anymore and you need to "cheat" with portals :3

I think I love every single theme. Old Aperture was awesome to play through the first time though...

I like Old Aperture/Underground just because of the music, look, and the feeling of success when completing a puzzle that you don't get from the other themes.

Each theme has it's own unique characteristic. For me personally, I don't have a favorite, I just go with what's easier to create.

Wheatley style is my favorite. It's a nice twist when you realize you won't get dissolved in an acidic pit of goo, but instead fall straight to your death. I also love seeing the vast vistas of Aperture. They are a pain to attempt optimize though and I've never been quite good at that.

Note to self, make more Wheatley styled chambers.

My favorite would either be Wheatley or Destroyed. Why not both? :lol: But I agree with RubyCarbuncle about the Wheatley chambers, it's nice to be able to see the whole of Aperture. But for the Destroyed, I somewhat Like the organic feel and the ambiance.

overgrown/reconstructing.

Everything's more dynamic like Wheatley's Chambers, but not too big.
